HIS MAIESTIES GRACIOUS MESSAGE To both His Houses of PARLJAMENT , FEBRUARY the 20th .

WHereas His Majesty hath ( together with a Treaty ) proposed a Cessation of Arms to both His Houses of Parliament now 16. dayes since , to which as yet He hath received no Answer : To the end that His Majesty may so cleerly understand the Houses , that no such Imputations ( as have been formerly ) may after be laid upon Him upon occasion of any thing that may intervene : His Majesty desires , if a Cessation shall be approved of by them , That the day upon which the Cessation is thought fit to begin , and such particular Limits and Conditions of that Cessation as are necessary to be understood and agreed on before the Cessation it selfe can actually begin , be proposed by them at the same time with their Approbation of it , Since as His Majesty supposeth by the present great Preparation of severall Forces of the Earle of Essex to march severall wayes , that till such time as this be done , they doe not conceive themselves obliged to an actuall Cessation ; So neither till then doth His Majesty conceive Himselfe obliged to it .
