Assembly and Parliament for reforming of many great abuses and novations tending to the overthrow of the true reformed Religion and undoing of this Kirk and Kingdom devised and brought in by the late pretended Bishops who by their subtile practises during his Majesties absence thir many years had iugrost in their persons all the Ecclesiastick and civill power of this his Maiesties ancient and native Kingdome it was granted by his Majestie out of his Royall Iustice and accorded by the Articles of pacification madeat his Majesties Camp in the moneth of Jun. 1639 yeares last past that a free generall assembly and Parliament should be indicted by his Majesty and that all matters Ecclesiasticall should bee determined by the assemblies of the Kirke and matters civill by Parliaments and other inferiour Iudicatories establisht by Law and that according thereunto his Majestie did indict an Assembly to be held at Edinburgh the twelfth of August and a Parliament for ratifying the Conclusions of the same Assembly and setting downe such other thing as might conduce to the peace and good of the Kingdome To be holden at Edinburgh the twenty fixt of August last by-past in the which assembly the matters concerning the purity of the true reformed Religion and peace of this Kirke after great debaite delayes and protracting of time made by Iohn Earle of Traquair his Majesties Commissioner being at length concluded upon the _____ day of August 1639 yeares The Parliament sitting downe immediately thereafter upon the penult day of the said month of August the ratifications of the Conclusions of the same assembly and many other matters of great importance conducing necessarly to the setling of the peace of this Kingdome being proponed in Parliament were like wayes shifted and delayed and the closing of the Parliament protracted from time to time unto the _____ day of November last by past at the which time the said John Earle of Traquaire did take upon him without the consent of the Estates to prorogat the foresaid Parliament to the second day of Iune instant not onely contrary to the Articles of pacification but also to the prejudice of the Liberties of the Parliament for preservation whereof the said Estates were forced to make a declaration in Parliament against the same And that albeit since the said _____ day of November unto this time the said Estates have vsed all possible meanes to give his Majesty full satisfaction both by their peaceable carriage at home and by sending their Commissioners to acquaint his Majesty with all their just desires and the reasons thereof yet they have not onely received no answer but upon the contrary have bin condemned as Rebellious without hearing and our Commissioners sent for cleering thereof all restrained in private houses for a long time and Iohn Lord Lowdoun being one of them committed to the Tower where he is still detained prisoner The Castles of Edemburgh and Dunbertane have in meane time beene fortified and provided with all sort of Ammunition in great abundance and Garisons of Souldiers not being natives of this Kingdome put therein the Garison in the Castle of Edenburgh daily killing diverse of the inhabitants of this City and spoyling their houses with Musquets and great Ordinance all ships belonging to this Kingdome arrested in England and Ireland and many of them comming from other places layed wait for and taken by the way their owners and passengers spoyled of their goods and apparell layed in the yrons and barbarously abused A Commission granted to the Generall of the English forces by sea and land to kill destroy and subdue this whole nation a Printed Declaration put forth denouncing warre against it perswading exhorting and provoking the other two Kingdomes to grant subsidies and take Armes against the inhabitants of this Kingdome as traitours and rebels And the Parliament of Ireland hath proceeded so farre as to declare them to be such All which they have hitherto endured patiently and thereby given an evident demonstration to the world of the loyalty of their affections to their Soveraigne which no extremity shall ever make them to forget And now being prest by the present exigence of the Estate of this Kingdome and bound by the necessity of that naturall duety they ought to themselves and their posterity to provide for the

altogether so forgetfull of themselves and decident to their Countrey as to suffer this Parliament which they had so often petitioned from his Majesty which was conditioned and accorded by the said Articles of Pacification and inflicted by his Majesties Authority to be deserted and expyred without any conclusion to the good of the Common-wealth in so great extremity But rather thought themselves
