[ CXCIV] BY our Paper delivered to your Lordships. 1. February, we did desire to know whether your Lordships have any Instructions concerning his Majesties Propositions for settling a safe and well grounded Peace; and by our Paper of the third of Feb. we did desire to know whether your Lordships had received any Instructions concerning that Proposition of His Majesties for a Cessation, and if your Lordships had not received any, that you would endeavour to procure authority to Treat thereupon; and by our Paper of the Tenth of Feb. we did desire to know whether your Lordships had received any Instructions con∣cerning His Majesties Propositions, that we might prepare our selves to treat upon them when your Lordships should think fit; and by our Paper delivered to your Lordships 14. Feb. we moved your Lordships, upon Directions received from his Majesty, that you would endeavour to procure an addition of time for this Treaty after the expiration of the days limi∣ted

for the same, upon the Reasons mentioned in his Majesties Letter, which Letter we then delivered to your Lordships; and by our Paper delivered to your Lordships the twen∣tieth of this Month, we moved your Lordships to endeavour an addition of time for this Treaty after the expiration of the days limited for the same, upon the Reasons mentioned in his Majesties said Letter, to which we have not yet received full Answer; nor have we yet had any notice from your Lordships, whether the Two Houses of Parliament have gi∣ven any further time for this Treaty: and having hitherto, according to the order prescribed us, Treated only upon the three first heads of Religion, the Militia, and Ireland, and the Twenty days expiring this day, we again desire to know, whether there is any addition of time granted for this Treaty, our Safe-Conduct being but for two days longer.
