The Queens PROPHECY Concerning Prince CHARLES AND The three Crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland; With Her Letter, Advice, and Proposals, to His Highnesse at the Hague in Holland.

Honoured Sir.

THe Queen of England is much perplexed and sore troubled in mind, the Fountain and Rise whereof, taking its first derivation from the present streams or head of the Royal Off-spring at the Hague; for having sent a Letter to her Sonne Prince

Charles, to advise him to a Treaty with her Majestys and to meet her at Amians in France, but hearing that his affections had taken Center another way, and that he could not meet her there, she resolved not to make any further addresse unto him, but returned backe to Paris, condoling much the losse of her late endeared Soveraign, and the present proceedings of the Prince, in reference to the work in hand touching his restau∣ration: And after some few dayes spent in serious meditations watering her Princely bed with teares of sorrow, she desired a conserence with Mr. Henry Jer∣min, at which she declared, That she had received seve∣rall Diciate in a Dream, and that many things were revealed to her thereby, by Apparitions and Visions, to wit;

First, that if her Son Prince Charles did any wayes alienate his affections from going to Ireland, and cast himself upon the Kingdom of Scotland, He was a lost Prince, and that they would serve him as they had done his Father, to sell him for a sum of money, and so deprive him of all Earthly felicity, which might a∣bundantly flow from his three Crownes and King∣domes.

Secondly, That if his vigilancy were not perspicu∣ous to those in power, in playing of his Game at Sea, that his Designe would be soone frustrated, and all hopes of restauration wholly expiated, &c. Having dictated unto him these propheticall expressions, Her Majesty desired, that they might be forthwith com∣municated unto his Highnesse, which was asserted to, and a messenger immediatly dispatched from thence to the Hague:

Another new Proyhfie.

A Yorkshire Gentlewoman coming out of Cleve∣land to present some things to the House of Com∣mons, delivered a paper to Lieut, Gen. Crumwell, con∣taining matters which she faith she had in command from God in a Vision, viz. 1 That the Parliament re∣form the Clergy, & only settle such Ministers as pro∣mote holinesse and the glory of God. 2 To make the Laws of the Land plain and just, grounded upon the Word of God. 3 To make speedy and effectuall pro∣vision for the poor. 4 That differences be composed at home, before the breaking out of further distractions abroad. These things she saith that she being as dead for a time) were revealed to her by God, she beholding the glory of Heaven and the Almighty Jehovah.

Sir, Our dependance here is, what his gracious Maje∣sty will do, all desire his comming hither, but the pro∣fessed downright Royalists would have him come with a force for there instituting him in his Right; the other party, such as reall for Presbytery, would also have him come with a new heart. Wee hear that the vulgar sort of people do cry him up exceedingly; and say they must and will have a King though it cost them never so much: here are dayly risings in severall parts of the Country, the Marquesse of Huntleys Son is again in arms with 2000. Gourdons to revenge his Fathers death, they have declared for Charles the se∣cond, and have set forth their Invitation for all persons to come in to their assistance. Col.Car, and divers o∣ther English Officers, are likewse very active in rai∣sing or Forces, and have sent Letters of invitation into Northumberland, Cumberland, and Wer••merlund, for o∣thers to come to them, promising great matter of pre∣ferment, but it is more then they are able to performe, for the well affected party are both vigilant & active in suppressing of them.

SIR,

THe Prince of Wales hath had severall confe∣rences and disputations with his grand Coun∣cellours at the Hague; they presse hard for his going into Ireland, but he seemes very unwilling to give his assent thereto, and hath delivered several Rea∣sons at the Councell table (in the presence of the Lord Cottington, and others) wherein he remonstrates the apparent danger that may befall his Royall person, if once he should set footing in that Kingdom, by reason of the falling off of his Subjects of Scotland, who are determined to act upon new principles, if once he ap∣peares in the head of that Army.

And therefore, he was resolved to make that place his chiefest Center for some certain time, having aliena∣ted his affections either from England, Scotland, or Ire∣land, till he saw an opportunity, for the playing of his Game with more facility and surety.

Montrosse (during this respire of time) seriously minding the dissenting expressions of the Prince, arose from the table, and with an austeer countenance, said, That if his Majesty (for so is he called at the Court) would not hearken to the good Councell now attending his Royall person, in all probability, he might become the most deplorable Prince in Christendome, and in stead of the en∣joyment of the prerogative and felicity of three Kingdoms be forced to contain himselfe within the bounds and li∣mits of the Territories of one Naiton.

The Prince replyed, That one Crowne firm∣ly and universally set, upon his head, might produce greater tranquility and felicity to himself, and the rest of the Royall Off-spring, than three that should stand in a tottering and unstable motion, &c: So that in all probability it is conjectured, that hee will decline his

Center both from England and Ireland, and wholly cast himself upon the Kingdom of Scotland; for hee hath declared, That he will cast off the Earl of Mon∣trosse, and all those who are conceived Enemies to peace and truth, and apply himself to those particu∣lars propounded from the Estates of Scotland, which are conceived to be the voyce of the people, and the advice of that Kingdom.

He seemes to make little preparation against Eng∣land, in reference to Warlike affaires, rather taking his late Fathers advice and admonition, to gain it by the way of reconciliation and treaty, then by the power of the bloud-thirsty Sword.

But yet notwithstanding he is much pressed to the contrary, and the two Extraodinary Ambassadours from the King of Denmark, and the Queen of Sweth∣land, hath saluted his Highness, and at a conference con∣doled the death of his late Father, intimating that they wonld use their utmost endeavours for the reinvesting of him in his just Rights and Dignities, and restoring of him to his Royall prerogative and Birth right; and to that end, have delivered their Representation and Invi∣tation to the most high and mighty Lords, the States of the United Provinces, to joyne with them to assist, the said King to obtain his Birthright; but it is said they have declared their resolution, to be offensive nor defensive against either parties: So that it is verily believed, that the States will act as Neutralists, and nei∣ther meddlewith one side, nor the other. For they have declared, that nothing shall be wanting in them for the preservation of a right understanding with the par∣liament of England, and that they will endeavonr the union and peace thereof against all opposition what∣soever.

Postscript, Sir, Since the writing of my last, the two extraordinary Embassadours from Sweden and Denmark have had audience with the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 King of Scotland, representing the personall appearance of their Masters, and promising him assistance for the ob∣taining of his Birthright. But truly we cannot discerne any visible Force as yet in Armes, and the Princes Propositions to the old Souldiers of the United Pro∣vinces are much slighted and rejected, having unani∣mously declared, that they will not any wayes inter∣meddle with the affairs of England, in relation to the erecting and setting up of Monarchy or any other Go∣vernment whatsoever. Here is a great demur hapned, at Court, by reason of the Parliaments Navy putting forth to Sea, which causeth many who at first seemed very forward to promote the Royall Design, to desert any further Engagement, taking a president by the late headlesse members, who acted against the Common, wealth of England.
