Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes of the Treaty Carried on at Ripon Between King Charles I. And the Covenanters of Scotland, A. D. 1640: Edited, From the Original Ms. In the Possession of Lieutenant-Colonel Carew
If they were able to do us mischief, they have too much encouragement by the unhappy rupture of the Parliament, who have clearly discovered they like their courses so well as they would contribute nothing to their suppression. Howsoever, the King's offer to them to abolish the shipping business, and to give them time, by continuing the Parliament, for their grievances, hath left them inexcusable, and will justify His Majesty to God and the world that he hath omitted nothing on his part whereby a better intelligence might have been settled between him and his people.. As the case now is, His Majesty must resort to other counsels and ways for preservation of the monarchy, which if they become more burdensome to them, they may thank themselves. Certainly His Majesty-will not be diverted from his first design of pursuing vigorously the war, notwithstanding all these oppositions and impediments cast in by his ill-affected and refractory subjects, and if he should, he must run extreme hazard of his honour and safety, both at home and abroad. But how to compass it is now the great consultation.
