An account of conferences and intriguing in Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall from Dec. 1642 to March 1642/3, displaying apprehension lest the agreement between Devon and Cornwall with a view to peace should be upset by Parliamentary intriguers. The account was written between March 15 and March 21 and was no doubt printed about the later date. The style and ornaments prove that it was printed at Oxford. -- Cf. Madan.

A
VIEVV
OF
THE
PROCEEDINGS
OF
THE
Westerne
Counties
for
the
Pacification
of
their
present
Troubles
&c.
IT
hath
been
long
the
mischievous
designe
of
those
,
who
have
embroyled
this
Kingdom
in
a
Civill
Warre
,
not
only
to
maintain
an
Army
of
discontented
and
seditious
persons
,
for
the
destruction
of
their
Soveraigne
,
but
to
ingage
the
greatest
and
most
populous
Counties
in
an
unnaturall
dissention
amongst
themselves
.
In
prosecution
of
which
wicked
Counsailes
,
as
they
have
spared
no
subtile
Artifices
,
to
infatuate
and
seduce
the
people
to
their
own
destruction
,
and
the
undoing
of
their
wives
and
families
:
so
when
they
find
them
sensible
of
those
afflictions
which
they
have
pulled
upon
themselves
,
and
willing
returne
into
more
peaceable
courses
;
they
have
not
failed
to
animate
them
to
their
former
surie
,
and
interrupt
all
Consultations
and
Agreements
which
might
conduce
unto
their
Peace
.
The
first
example
of
this
kind
was
that
of
Yorkshire
,
the
Gentry
and
Commonalty
of
the
which
,
having
played
too
long
a
part
in
this
wofull
Tragedy
,
had
mutually
agreed
upon
such
equall
termes
of
Pacification
,
as
might
restore
that
Country
to
its
antient
quiet
;
and
this
they
had
confirmed
by
the
subscription
of
the
hands
of
the
most
eminent
&
able
men
of
either
party
.
But
this
was
presently
disallowed
by
those
factious
spirits
,
who
have
too
great
a
power
in
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
as
being
utterly
destructive
of
their
ends
and
hopes
:
and
upon
that
dislike
commanded
not
to
be
observed
,
and
so
by
consequence
annulled
.
How
miserable
a
Theatre
of
blood
,
death
,
and
rapine
,
that
wretched
County
hath
been
made
ever
since
that
time
,
as
we
see
now
not
without
griefe
and
Lamentation
,
so
shall
Posterity
,
being
lesse
interessed
in
the
quarrels
which
are
now
on
foot
,
peruse
the
story
of
it
with
a
greater
sorrow
.
Cheshire
as
not
farre
off
in
situation
,
was
next
unto
this
people
in
example
also
.
They
on
the
sense
of
those
calamities
under
which
they
suffered
,
by
nourishing
an
intestine
warre
in
their
own
bowels
,
had
fallen
upon
the
like
attonement
:
and
for
the
keeping
of
the
same
,
the
Principall
Agents
of
each
side
had
promised
one
another
severally
in
the
word
of
a
Gentleman
,
and
as
they
did
desire
to
prosper
,
that
both
themselves
,
their
Tenants
,
friends
and
servants
would
most
strictly
keep
it
.
But
yet
this
promise
made
in
so
solemne
manner
,
and
bound
with
such
an
imprecation
to
observe
the
same
,
was
not
found
sufficient
,
for
the
preventing
of
all
further
acts
of
enmity
and
desolation
,
there
following
on
the
neck
thereof
,
a
Declaration
of
the
Lords
and
Commons
assembled
in
Parliament
,
wherein
was
signified
and
declared
,
That
the
said
Pacification
and
agreement
,
was
very
prejudiciall
to
the
whole
Kingdom
,
derogatory
to
the
power
and
Priviledge
of
Parliament
;
and
therefore
that
not
only
the
inhabitants
thereof
,
but
that
the
Gentlemen
themselves
who
were
the
parties
to
the
Articles
were
not
bound
unto
them
;
and
finally
all
the
inhabitants
thereof
,
commanded
and
required
to
pursue
their
former
Resolutions
,
for
the
assistance
of
the
Parliament
in
the
Common
cause
.
Though
these
examples
might
have
terrified
the
most
moderate
men
,
such
as
were
most
inclinable
to
their
Countries
peace
,
from
ventring
on
the
like
conclusions
,
which
they
perceived
would
not
be
left
unto
their
power
to
observe
or
not
:
yet
warre
and
discord
are
such
troublesome
and
unwelcome
guests
,
that
notwithstanding
these
discouragements
,
the
Western
Counties
have
embraced
the
same
Counsailes
also
,
and
entertained
some
Propositions
,
conducing
to
the
introduction
of
a
blessed
peace
.
And
first
the
Gentlemen
and
other
intelligent
persons
of
the
County
of
Dorset
,
having
felt
some
of
the
effects
of
Warre
in
the
action
of
Sherborne
,
and
seeing
how
great
a
flame
was
raised
in
Devonshire
,
bordering
next
upon
them
,
endeavoured
to
preserve
themselves
from
that
combustion
which
had
laid
wast
so
many
of
their
neighbours
houses
.
And
to
that
end
agreed
amongst
themselves
upon
such
Articles
,
as
the
necessity
of
their
affaires
,
and
the
sad
spectacles
before
their
eyes
,
did
invite
them
to
:
whereof
Sir
Thomas
Trenchard
Knight
,
and
Iohn
Browne
Esquire
,
two
of
the
Deputy
Lieutenants
for
exercising
of
the
Militia
,
according
to
the
Ordinance
of
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
were
as
the
first
movers
so
the
most
effectuall
promoters
too
.
And
yet
this
Pacification
so
agreed
upon
,
and
at
a
time
,
when
the
whole
County
so
distasted
the
proceedings
of
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
that
there
was
tenne
against
them
for
every
one
that
would
adventure
in
their
cause
,
(
as
the
said
Gentlemen
did
signify
by
letters
to
diverse
of
their
friends
in
the
Lower
House
)
was
not
held
convenient
.
And
thereupon
Sir
William
Waller
must
be
hastned
to
the
Western
parts
,
that
by
the
power
and
reputation
of
his
Armes
the
said
Agreement
might
be
broken
;
and
all
that
had
consented
to
the
common
Peace
might
either
be
compelled
to
advance
the
Warre
,
or
flie
the
Country
.
In
the
mean
time
,
whilest
Waller
was
upon
his
March
,
and
the
affaires
of
Dorset-shire
in
so
good
condition
,
that
it
was
hoped
they
would
be
able
to
make
good
their
own
Conclusions
:
the
Devon-shire
and
the
Cornish
Armies
,
who
had
so
oft
imbrued
their
hands
in
each
others
blood
,
though
still
with
losse
of
men
and
reputation
on
the
Devon-shire
side
,
began
to
hearken
to
such
counsailes
,
as
God
had
put
into
the
hearts
of
some
honest
Gentlemen
,
(
though
otherwise
of
different
opinions
)
to
propose
unto
them
.
And
it
pleased
him
who
maketh
two
to
be
of
one
minde
in
an
house
,
so
to
incline
the
hearts
both
of
the
greater
and
the
better
part
of
those
severall
Counties
,
as
first
to
hearken
to
a
trnce
,
and
on
the
expiration
of
that
Truce
(
which
was
expired
the
seventh
of
this
present
March
)
to
yeeld
to
a
Cessation
for
twenty
daies
,
that
so
the
Treaty
might
advance
with
the
more
apparent
hopes
of
an
happy
issue
.
Which
being
mutually
agreed
on
for
the
common
good
,
their
next
care
was
to
choose
Commissioners
for
each
side
,
men
of
integrity
and
honour
,
on
whom
they
might
conferre
a
concluding
power
to
bind
all
parties
;
and
unto
whose
determinations
they
might
with
safety
and
assurance
submit
themselves
.
This
done
,
and
the
Commissioners
assembled
at
Mount-Edgecomb
a
place
in
Cornwall
,
on
the
fourth
of
March
,
to
give
assurance
each
to
other
,
and
to
all
the
world
,
of
their
integrity
,
and
of
the
reall
intentions
which
they
had
to
peace
(
secluded
from
all
sinister
and
particular
ends
)
they
took
a
solemne
Protestation
,
and
afterward
received
the
blessed
Sacrament
,
for
ratification
of
the
same
.
The
Protestation
is
as
followeth
,
which
I
have
here
transcribed
verbatim
,
that
all
the
World
may
see
,
(
if
they
be
not
blind
,
)
with
what
syncerity
and
candor
they
purpose
to
proceed
in
so
great
a
businesse
.
I.
A.B.
doe
solemnly
vow
and
pretest
in
the
presence
of
Almighty
God
,
that
I
doe
not
only
come
a
Commissioner
to
this
treaty
,
with
an
hearty
and
fervent
desire
of
concluding
an
honourable
and
firme
Peace
between
the
two
Counties
of
Cornwall
and
Devon
,
but
also
will
to
the
utmost
of
my
power
prosecute
and
really
endeavour
to
accomplish
and
effect
the
same
,
by
all
lawfull
waies
and
means
I
possibly
can
,
First
by
maintaining
the
Protestant
Religion
established
by
Law
in
the
Church
of
England
,
The
just
rights
and
prerogative
of
our
Soveraigne
Lord
the
King
,
The
just
priviledges
and
freedome
of
Parliaments
,
together
with
the
just
rights
and
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
;
and
that
I
am
without
any
intention
(
by
fomenting
this
unnaturall
Warre
)
to
gaine
or
hope
to
advantage
my selfe
with
the
reall
or
personall
estate
of
any
person
whatsoever
,
or
obtaining
any
Office
,
Command
,
title
of
Honour
,
benefit
or
reward
,
either
from
the
Kings
Majesty
,
or
either
or
both
houses
of
Parliament
now
assembled
.
And
this
I
take
in
the
presence
of
Almighty
God
,
and
as
I
shall
answer
the
same
at
his
Tribunall
,
according
to
the
literall
sence
and
meaning
of
the
fore-going
words
,
without
any
Equivocation
,
Mentall
Reservation
,
or
other
Evasion
whatsoever
,
So
help
me
God
.
Which
Protestation
being
thus
taken
,
was
subscribed
also
by
the
hands
of
all
the
Commissioners
,
being
eighteen
in
number
,
for
each
County
nine
.
This
preparation
being
made
,
and
the
syncerity
of
their
intentions
so
fully
manifested
,
the
Commissioners
authorized
for
Cornwall
(
considering
that
they
stood
on
the
higher
ground
)
did
first
propound
their
Articles
to
those
of
Devon
:
Articles
of
so
even
a
temper
,
and
so
agreeable
to
the
Lawes
established
,
that
those
of
Devonshire
had
been
bound
to
admit
the
same
,
if
all
things
had
succeeded
answerably
to
their
former
expectations
and
endeavours
.
The
most
materiall
of
them
were
to
this
effect
.
1.
That
the
book
of
Common-prayer
,
the
Doctrine
and
Discipline
of
the
Church
of
England
formerly
established
by
lawfull
authority
,
for
the
true
and
sincere
worship
of
God
,
be
duely
and
truely
observed
in
all
the
parishes
of
both
Counties
,
untill
the
Discipline
be
altered
by
such
authority
as
it
was
established
by
;
and
that
all
the
infringers
&
depravers
of
the
same
either
of
the
Clergy
or
Laity
,
be
duely
proceeded
against
according
to
the
known
Laws
of
the
land
.
2.
That
the
Common
and
statute
lawes
of
this
Realm
of
England
be
truly
and
really
put
in
execution
against
all
offenders
&
violaters
of
the
same
laws
in
either
County
,
according
to
the
usuall
legall
course
,
and
as
hath
been
anciently
accustomed
.
3.
That
all
trade
,
traffique
,
and
free
Commerce
be
open
in
and
between
both
Counties
,
as
heretofore
in
the
most
peacable
and
best
times
.
4.
That
no
man
in
his
person
,
estate
,
or
goods
,
be
arrested
imprisoned
,
detayned
,
outed
,
dispossessed
,
or
any
waies
molested
,
by
any
power
or
authority
,
whatsoever
,
without
due
processe
of
the
Lawes
of
the
Land
.
And
5.
That
all
new
erected
fortifications
&
set
guards
within
the
City
and
County
of
Exeter
,
and
in
and
upon
all
towns
Castles
,
Bridges
and
passages
within
the
Counties
of
Devon
and
Cornwall
be
removed
and
flighted
at
the
cost
and
charges
of
the
Erectors
of
the
same
,
and
that
his
Majesties
Forts
,
Castles
,
and
other
ancient
and
usuall
places
of
command
within
both
Counties
,
be
put
into
the
same
hands
and
custodie
as
they
were
in
before
these
unhappy
differences
;
and
assurance
giuen
for
the
maintaining
of
the
same
without
any
addition
or
alteration
:
and
that
all
Armes
and
Ammunition
,
of
all
and
every
person
and
persons
whatsoever
,
be
restored
againe
to
the
right
owners
.
Tho
other
Articles
there
were
,
but
these
the
principall
.
And
these
together
with
the
Protestation
,
the
said
Commissioners
desired
might
be
published
in
all
the
Market-Townes
and
Parochiall
Churches
of
the
said
two
Counties
,
without
any
alteration
either
in
the
writing
,
reading
,
or
publishing
thereof
:
to
the
intent
it
might
appeare
unto
all
the
world
,
who
were
the
faithfull
observers
of
the
said
Protestation
,
first
sworn
to
on
the
holy
Evangelists
,
and
afterwards
confirmed
by
the
receiving
of
the
blessed
Sacrament
;
and
who
the
violaters
of
the
same
.
These
Propositions
being
so
equall
,
and
so
agreeable
to
the
known
Lawes
of
the
Land
,
were
like
to
find
but
little
opposition
from
the
Commissioners
for
the
other
County
,
if
they
met
with
any
.
But
whilest
they
were
in
consultation
how
to
transact
and
settle
their
affaires
,
in
such
a
way
as
might
be
permanent
and
secure
▪
it
pleased
God
to
put
into
their
mindes
the
offering
of
a
communication
of
the
same
pretious
benefit
to
the
adjoyning
Counties
of
Somerset
and
Dorset
;
who
as
they
had
participated
somewhat
in
the
Calamities
of
the
Warre
,
so
could
they
not
but
be
as
sensible
of
the
blessings
&
effects
of
their
neighbours
Peace
.
Which
being
taken
by
them
into
consideration
,
it
was
agreed
upon
of
all
sides
,
that
letters
should
be
written
to
the
principall
persons
of
those
severall
Counties
respectively
,
to
invite
them
to
joyne
with
them
in
so
good
a
work
,
conducing
so
apparantly
to
their
common
happinesse
.
And
this
accordingly
was
done
,
letters
being
written
and
subscribed
by
the
hands
of
twelve
of
the
Commissioners
,
Sir
Ralph
Hopton
subscribing
in
the
first
place
:
which
letters
were
dated
from
Mount-Edgecomb
on
the
sixth
of
March
,
being
the
very
next
day
save
one
,
that
they
were
assembled
.
So
soone
did
they
agree
on
that
weighty
poynt
,
that
there
may
seem
to
be
,
some
superior
power
,
which
did
so
readily
induce
and
incline
them
to
it
.
The
place
appoynted
for
the
meeting
,
was
the
New
Inne
in
Exeter
;
the
day
the
fourteenth
of
this
Moneth
,
which
was
Tuesday
last
,
being
the
seventh
of
the
Cessation
.
And
that
they
might
attend
the
service
with
the
greater
safety
and
more
assurance
of
their
lives
and
persons
:
there
was
a
safe
Conduct
granted
by
the
chiefe
Factors
of
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
for
every
one
of
the
Commissioners
of
the
said
foure
Counties
,
with
two
men
a
peece
for
their
retinue
,
to
come
,
remain
,
and
returne
(
I
speak
out
of
the
words
of
the
Originall
)
to
and
from
the
said
place
or
any
other
places
which
shall
be
appoynted
for
the
treaty
by
the
said
Commissioners
.
Which
letters
of
safe
Conduct
doe
hear
their
date
at
Plymmouth
,
the
seventh
of
March
,
subscribed
in
the
first
place
,
by
the
Earle
of
Stamford
,
after
by
Sir
George
Chudleigh
,
Northeote
,
Martyn
,
and
others
the
chief
sticklers
in
the
former
troubles
.
One
would
not
think
,
that
an
Accommodation
so
just
and
necessary
,
tending
so
visibly
to
the
ease
and
benefit
of
all
His
Majesties
Subjects
in
those
Counties
,
so
evidently
conservative
of
their
lives
and
fortunes
,
which
had
before
been
made
a
prey
to
the
sharpest
sword
;
so
sensibly
conducing
to
the
advancement
of
Gods
glory
and
the
Kings
Honour
,
should
meet
with
opposition
in
that
place
,
and
amongst
those
persons
,
who
hitherto
have
given
out
(
and
certainly
would
take
it
ill
not
to
be
believed
)
that
they
endeavour
nothing
more
,
then
the
establishment
of
all
these
on
the
surest
grounds
.
Yet
so
it
hapned
,
that
when
this
newes
was
brought
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
which
was
on
Saturday
March
the
eleventh
in
the
afternoon
:
it
was
received
with
great
heat
and
passion
,
as
finding
their
authority
to
be
thereby
lessened
,
and
that
unlimited
and
arbitrary
power
which
they
had
exercised
before
on
the
Subjects
there
,
to
be
restrained
very
much
,
if
not
quite
destroyed
.
For
now
they
saw
that
all
those
Counties
would
be
freed
from
all
those
Tyrannicall
constraints
and
impositions
,
which
had
been
forced
upon
them
by
their
Committees
;
that
those
in
whom
they
most
confided
had
betraied
the
cause
,
and
were
no
longer
willing
to
advance
their
ends
in
the
oppression
of
their
neighbours
;
that
the
people
would
again
returne
to
the
Kings
obedience
,
and
submit
themselves
to
no
other
rule
,
then
the
known
Lawes
of
the
Realme
;
and
who
could
tell
whether
the
contagion
of
so
dangerous
an
example
might
not
infect
the
neighbouring
Counties
,
and
so
prevaile
at
last
over
all
the
Kingdom
.
Besides
there
was
another
circumstance
,
which
added
much
to
their
vexation
and
disquiet
;
which
was
that
here
they
met
not
with
a
bare
subscription
of
mens
names
;
as
in
that
of
Yorkeshire
;
or
only
with
a
promise
made
in
the
word
of
a
Gentleman
,
though
bound
and
made
up
with
an
imprecation
,
as
in
that
of
Cheshire
:
but
with
subscription
of
the
names
of
the
Commissioners
,
the
taking
of
a
solemne
Oath
,
and
the
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
to
confirme
the
same
.
And
such
a
three-fold
cord
(
in
case
the
Wise
mans
note
be
of
any
credit
)
is
not
easily
broken
.
And
yet
well
fare
a
gallant
confidence
.
They
were
resolved
upon
the
question
to
Break
all
these
bonds
,
to
dissolve
the
Treaty
,
to
reduce
matters
there
to
the
same
confusion
which
they
had
brought
them
to
before
,
and
make
those
neigh
〈…〉
like
the
sonnes
of
Cadmus
,
imployed
upon
no
other
service
then
to
kill
one
another
.
Why
should
not
two
whole
Counties
perish
,
nay
to
say
truth
,
why
should
not
a
whole
Kingdom
be
exposed
unto
spoyle
and
ruine
,
rather
then
some
suspected
Malefactors
be
brought
to
yeeld
themselves
to
a
Legall
tryall
?
Were
not
the
Tribunes
of
the
People
in
the
State
of
Rome
,
held
to
be
inviolable
;
exempt
for
whatsoever
they
committed
,
from
all
Law
and
punishment
?
Rather
then
to
give
up
the
power
,
with
so
much
art
and
industry
acquired
;
let
us
adventure
once
on
a
poynt
of
Popery
,
and
dispence
with
them
for
their
Oathes
;
which
being
taken
by
them
without
our
consent
,
have
no
power
to
bind
them
.
This
last
insisted
on
so
cordially
,
by
some
that
doe
pretend
most
hatred
to
Popish
errours
,
(
as
is
advertised
from
London
by
letters
of
the
11.
of
March
)
that
at
the
last
it
was
concluded
to
dispatch
Prideaux
and
Nicols
two
of
their
Members
in
all
hast
to
Exeter
,
to
signify
their
mislike
of
the
whole
businesse
to
the
severall
Counties
,
and
by
all
means
to
break
in
pieces
the
Agreement
,
from
which
they
feared
such
mischiefes
would
redound
unto
them
.
But
it
is
hoped
,
that
notwithstanding
their
endeavours
to
subvert
this
Treaty
,
and
the
Gentlemen
and
others
of
those
Counties
whom
it
most
concernes
,
will
not
so
easily
be
altered
from
their
resolutions
:
beginning
at
the
last
(
though
long
first
)
to
reassume
the
use
of
their
own
senses
;
to
trust
no
farther
to
the
insnaring
arts
of
others
,
then
they
see
cause
for
;
to
find
in
what
a
comfortable
state
they
lived
,
when
they
could
feele
no
power
above
them
,
but
the
mild
Scepter
of
a
mercifull
and
gratious
King
;
and
finally
to
perceive
what
irremediable
calamities
the
York-shire
and
the
Cheshire
men
have
drawn
upon
themselves
and
their
severall
Countries
,
by
breaking
those
Agreements
,
on
the
like
temptation
,
which
were
so
faithfully
condescended
to
for
their
common
good
.
However
we
may
see
even
by
these
endeavours
,
what
hopes
of
ease
,
what
inclination
to
〈…〉
expected
from
the
hands
of
those
cruell
Chirurgeons
;
who
are
so
farre
from
binding
up
the
wounds
of
this
bleeding
body
,
that
they
enlarge
the
Orifice
and
increase
the
number
,
and
take
delight
in
torturing
the
poore
Patient
,
whom
they
have
in
Cure
:
how
little
sense
there
is
in
them
of
our
deadly
miseries
,
who
sitting
safely
in
the
Senate
,
wrapt
in
warme
furres
,
and
guarded
by
full
troopes
of
their
own
Auxiliaries
,
heare
not
the
groanes
of
slaughtered
men
,
nor
the
cries
of
Orphans
,
nor
the
lamentation
of
the
Widdowes
,
nor
see
that
spoyle
and
devastation
,
which
they
have
made
of
late
in
this
flourishing
Kingdome
,
under
pretence
of
rectifying
some
few
slips
and
errors
in
the
former
Government
.
From
which
unmercifull
kind
of
men
,
no
lesse
then
from
the
Plague
and
Pestilence
,
Good
Lord
deliver
us
.
FINIS
