Excerpt from The Court and Times of Charles the First, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing a Series of Historical and Confidential Letters, Including Memoirs of the Mission in England of the Capuchin Friars in the Service of Henrietta Maria, and a Variety of Other Particulars Not Mentioned by Our Historians Meanwhile, our domestic businesses continue in the same train, which I advertised your lordship by two several letters (one by Mr. Wood, the other by one of your gentlemen) that they were entered into upon the late change. Every one walks within the circle of his charge, and his majesty's hand is the chief, and in effect the sole directory. The parliament is like to hold at the appointed day, the 2otb of the next month; and all things, by his majesty's personal order in council, as well as in church as common wealth, are provisionally so disposed, that he may the better hope for a fair and loving meeting With his people. As well in this regard as all others, I very much wish and desire your lordship's presence here amongst us, know ing how much your fresh experience, joined to that of long continuance, can contribute to affairs both at home and abroad.
