A LETTER BY THE KING TO HIS SECRETARY OF STATE ON THE COLLAPSE OF THE ROYAL CAUSE. Charles had escaped Oxford on 27 April and surrendered to the Scottish Army on 5 May. His loyal forces in the city were soon besieged by Fairfax's Parliamentarian army, and this letter was written during the tortuous negotiations for the city's surrender, which finally took effect on 24 June. Nicholas was one of the signatories of the surrender after which he went into exile, not returning to England until 1660.

"I find these people very firm in their way, still careful not to displease the London rebells, never going about to oblige me, unless it be by making all men far the worse that I take notice of, and doing the contrary in whatsoever I advise; so that I cannot but expect the worst of events, unless the gathering of a storm from abroad makes them alter their minds." (Charles to Henrietta Maria, 3 June 1646)
