EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THE KINGS Majeſties moſt Gracious MESSAGE TO THE PARLIAMENT, By Sir Peter Killegrew.

Sent from the Commiſsioners with His Majeſtie at Newmarket, about His Majeſties being at Richmond, and coming to His Parliament at Weſtminſter, for ſetling of the Kingdome in a ſafe and well grounded peace.

His Majeſty to come on Thurſday next. And His Majeſties reſolution for paſsing ſuch acts as ſhall tend to the peace of the Kingdome.

London Printed for Iohn Willet, Iune 23. 1647.
HIS MAJESTIES MESSAGE To the Honourable Houſes of Parliament aſſembled at Weſtminſter. Honoured Sir,

HEre hath been Sir Peter Killegrew, who is diſpatched to the Parliament with his Majeſty and the Commiſſioners their Anſwers to the houſes, concerning his Majeſties remove from hence.

The Votes of the houſes being communicated to the King, for his Majeſties remove from hence to Richmond, with the Commiſſioners, His Majeſty gave not ſo poſitive an anſwer at the firſt, as afterwards.

His Majeſty hath returned anſwer to the Parliament, by the Commiſſioners, to whom his Maieſty declared his mind herein, as alſo to Col. Whalley, who commands the party of forces that are there.

The ſubſtance of the one, and a Copy of the other, I have ſent you here incloſed.

Mr. Peters hath been with his Majeſty, and kiſſed the Kings hand. His Majeſty aſking upon his admittance, who he was, and being told, that it was Mr. Peters the Miniſter, the King gave him his hand to kiſſe, and ſaid, that he had often heard of him, but never ſaw him before: then his Maieſty had ſome diſcourſe with him, wherein Mr. Peters declared what a pretious thing, and honourable it was, for a King to have the love of his ſubiects, and above all to be godly, & how much heaven is more excellent then the things of this world.

The King ſeemed to like his diſcourſe, & commended it, and ſaid, that by what had bin told him of him, he did not expect ſuch rationall ſolid diſcourſe from him Mr. Peters told his Maieſty, that if he pleaſed, he humbly deſired his Maieſty to give him leave to preach to him. The King anſwered no, he was not ſatisfied in that point yet, to hear any, but ſuch as hee hath already propounded, in a Church way,

The King lyes at his own houſe here at Newmarket ſtill, it is a very faire ſpatious houſe and excellent good ayre, a fine garden and in every reſpect better accommadation then at Holmby, and his Maieſty is much better ſatisfied by being here, then he was at Holmby, and beſides that it gives his Maieſty better content, becauſe it is neerer to London.

His Maieſty goeth often out with the Commiſſioners to Bowles to Col. Ruſſels houſe (who was perſwaded lately of the day of Judgments neere approach, and thereupon prepared for it, a very pretious godly man,) it is about five miles from hence, and about four miles on this ſide the Iſle of Ely, a very handſome fine houſe.

Here is no diſcontent here, but all things carryed on very fairly.

The Kings Majeſty ſeemes to admire at the Atmies diſcreet carriage in this preſent buſineſſe, and divers others at this time concurring with it.

We are now in a capacity to come neere to you, as you may ſee by the incloſed; and then you ſhall hear further from

Newmarket June 20. 1647. Your moſt humble ſervant, W. SHARPE.
A Copy of the Votes of the Houſes delivered to the Kings Maieſty at Newmarket, for his Majeſty to come to Richmond.

ORdered by the Lords and Commons aſſembled in Parliament, That the Generall be required to deliver the perſon of the King to ſuch perſons as both Houſes ſhall appoint, to be placed at Richmond under ſuch Guards, and in ſuch manner as they ſhall think fit, to the intent that the Propoſitions agreed upon by both Kingdomes, may be ſpeedily preſented unto His Majeſtie, for the ſetling of a well grounded Peace.

Ordered further, That the perſons to whom the Generall is required to deliver the Perſon of the King to be placed at Richmond, ſhall be the Commiſcioners formerly appointed to receive the perſon of the King at Newcaftle, or any three of them.

Ordered alſo, that the Guards appointed to receive the Orders and directions of the Commiſsioners in attending and guarding the Perſon of the King, ſhall be Collonel Roſsiter and his Regiment.

The Kings Anſwer and Reſolution upon the delivery of the Votes to his Majeſty at Newmarket, being the ſubſtance of what was ſent by Sir Peter Killegrew to the Parliament. I. THat his Majeſty is content to remove to Richmond, it being nearer to His Parliament. II. That to remove from Newmarket to Richmond, is agreeable to what himſelf hath alwayes deſired in his late meſſages to the Houſes. III. That it being neerer to his Parliament, it is much more convenient for treating with the houſes, and concurring in ſuch act as ſhall be paſſed for the peace and ſecurity of the Kingdome, IV. That on Thurſday next his Majeſty may go from Newmarket to Richmond, according to the Votes of both houſes. V. His Majeſty deſires that there may bee ſuch a concurrence between his Majeſty and the houſes, and ſo the Army alſo, as may conduce to a ſafe and well grounded peace.
FINIS.
