Propositions of Peace . PROPOUNDED To the Kings most Excellent MAIESTIE , by the High Court of PARLIAMENT .

THE LORDS and Commons assembled in this present Parliament , finding that a civill Warre was already begunne in the Kingdom , to the great terror of all his Majesties loving Subjects , the continuance of which must consequently prove the ruine and destruction of the whole Kingdome , the extirpation of Religion , and the losse of all that we can call good .

All which the Honourable Court of Parliament taking into consideration , and being desirous to leave no way unattempted nor no meanes unassayed that might produce a peaceable effect , or conduce to a happy Pacification , they in their Wisedomes thought it necessary , first to declare the causes of this dissention , and likewise to propound severall particulars , touching the removall of the causers and causes of these dissentions , to the end that the effects may cease .

To which end the Earle of Holland , Sir Phillip Stapleton and Sir John Holland were appointed by the Parliament to present a Petition , for pacification to his Majesty from both Houses , in which was included these ensuing Propositions . 1 That His Majesty would be pleased to forbeare and remove all preparations and Actions of Warre , particularly the Forces from about Hull , from New-castle , Tinmouth , Lincolne , Lincoln-shire , and all other places . 2. That His Majesty would be pleased to recall the Commissions of Array , which are illegall . 3. That he would be pleased to dismisse his Troopes and extraordinary Guards raysed by him . 4. That He would be pleased to come neerer his Parliament , and hearken to their faithfull advice . 5. That his Maiesty would be pleas'd to leave Delinquents to the course of Justice .

These are the chiefe Heads of the things propounded to his Majesty by the high Court of Parliament , wherein is contained the summe of their desires , on his Majesties part .

Now followes the chiefe particulars which they have promised to his Majesty in case his Majesty should bee pleased to condiscend to the things propounded . 1. That they shall be ready to lay downe all r●o●e p●●par●tions which they have beene forced to make for their defence , and for the protection of Hull . 2. That they would leave the Towne of Hull in the estate it was , before Sir John Hotham drew any Forces into it . 3. That they would deliver up his Majesties Magazine into the Tower of London .

These things being of such great consequence , was many times debated on in the House of Commons , and afterwards sent up to the Lords for their assent .

Which being agreed upon , it was delivered to the said Earle of Holland , and the two Members of the House of Commons , who having sitted them for their Iourney , with their utmost speed posted to B●verley in Yorkeshire , where his Majesty now resides with his Army which he lately raised in the Northerne parts , with intent to besiege Hull , and to take Iustice against Sir John Hotham , a Member of the Honourable Assembly of Parliament , and by their appointment Governour of the said Towne , by whose providentiall foresight the plots and inventions of that Malignant party was happily made frustrate , for had he not let in the Tydes , and drowned the Country three Miles round , he could not have kept his Majesty out so long , for which cause his Majesty kept his Court at Beverley , where the Earle of Holland being arrived , information was given to his Majesty thereof , who gave command the Earle should come before him , which being effected , his Majesty having received the Petition , tooke order for his safe Protection , withall giving him a most Royall welcome .

Also His Majesty having perused the aforesaid particulers , was graciously pleased to returne this Answer .
