Colonel Monk his Propositions to General Owen Oneal.
Imprimis, That such as shall joyn with General Owen Oneal in the service of
the parliament of England in this Kingdom, may have liberty of Conscience
for themselves and their issues. 2 The said General Oneal desireth an Act of
Oblivion to be passed, and extend to all and every of his party for all things
done since the year 1641: 3 That they desire Gen. Owen Oneal be provided
for a competent command in the Army, besitting his place, worth and dignity.
4 They desire that they may enjoy all those Lands that were in their possession
at the beginning of the Wars, for themselves and others, during their fidelity
to the interest of England. 5 That all incapacity, inability and distrust hitherto
by Act of State, or other ways against the said party, be taken off. 6 That
on both sides all jealousies or aspersions be laid aside, unity, love and amity be
renewed and practiced between both parties. 7 That General Oneal may be
restored and put in possession of his Ancestors estates, or some other estate equivalent
to it in regard of his Merit, and the good service that he shall perform
in the Parliament of Englands Service, in the preservation of the interest in
this Kingdom. 8 That the Army belonging to General Oneal, and his party,
be provided for in all points, as the rest of the Army shall be. 9 That the said
party be provided with, and possessed of, a convenient Sea port in the province
of Ulster. 10 And then in receiving a confirmation of these desires, undertaken
and promised for my self, and in behalf of the Army under my command, faithfully
and firmly to adhere to the Parliament of Englands service in this Kingdom,
and to maintain their interest hereafter with the hazard of our lives and
estates against all opposers whatsoever. Given under my hand and seal.
OWEN ONEAL.
Colonel Monk his own propositions to General Owen Oneal.
Imprimis, That there be a Cessation of Arms between the forces under Gen.
Owen Oneals Command and the forces under my Command for the space of 3
Moneths, beginning the first of this instant May, before which time be ended, I
am certain to receive the Parliaments answer to your propositions.
2 That upon all occasions during the said time, we be ready to assist one another,
until such time we receive a more absolute Agreement made, and condescended
upon, by the parliament of England. 3 For such Creets as pay me
Contribution, I shall be contented that they likewise pay Contribution to the Forces under General Oneals Command, provided that I may have liberty to
bring such Creets of the province of Ulster under Contribution to me, which
have not paid any to the Forces under my Command. 4 If any provision arrives
into a harbour under my Command for the use of General Oneal, or any
under his Command, that freedom be given to them to send and fetch those provisions
with safety, provided he continue an enemy to the enemies of the Parliament
in England in this Kingdom.
