XXXVII. From CARISBROOK, Sept. 7. MDCXLVIII. Concerning the time of the Treaty, and the sending some other Civil Lawyers and Divines.

For the Lord Hunsdon, Speaker of the House of Peers pro tempore, and William Lenthall, Speaker of the House of Commons.

MY Lord, and Master Speaker, I have received your Letter of the second of this Month, containing the Names of those who are to Treat with Me; and though they do not come at the time appoint, I shall not wonder, at first judging it too short in respect of My two Houses, not of My self, so that I did not imagine it could be kept, (as I then commanded Sir Peter Killegrew to tell you by word of mouth:) and therefore it shall be far from Me to take exceptions for their having elapsed the ap∣pointed time, for God forbid that either My two Houses or I should carp at Circum∣stances to give the least impediment to this Treaty, much less to hinder the happy fi∣nishing of it. I say this the rather, because I know not how it is possible (in this I shall wish to be deceived) that in forty days Treaty the many Distractions of these Kingdoms can be setled; and if so, it were more than strange that time enough should not be given for the perfecting of this most great and good Work, which as I will not be∣lieve can be stuck on by the two Houses, so I am sure it shall never be by

Carisbrook, 7. Sept. 1648.

Your good Friend, CHARLES R.

I think fit to tell you, because I believe in this Treaty there will be need of Civil Lawyers, I have sent for my Advocate Rives and D. Duck.

[And afterward, in a Letter of one of the Commissioners for the two Houses He sent inclo∣sed this Note, Nov. 2.]

C. R.

The Bishop of Armagh, the Bishop of Excester, the Bishop of Rochester, the Bishop of Worcester, Dr. Ferne, Dr. Morley.
