Charles R.
Right Trusty, and Right well-beloved Cousin and Councellour, We Greet you well.
We have herewith sent you Copies not only of the Letters We lately received from Scotland, but also of Our several Letters to Our Chancellour and Council there, the Originals whereof We leave to your Discretion, to deliver and make use of as you shall find best for Our Advantage: but for the Business it self, We have heretofore so fully declared to you Our Own Opinion therein, as We need say no more of that Subject to you.
We observe in the Letter to Us, that there are but eleven Councellours Names to it, and that none of those that are best-affected have subscribed it; and We find that as great, or a greater number of Councellours, Persons of great Quality, Place, and Trust, have not subscribed to it.
Given at Our Court, at Oxford,
22ᵗʰ of May, 1643.
