NEWES FROM SCOTLAND His MAIESTIES Manifest touching the PALATINE Cause And Act of Parliament concerning the same Read voiced and past in the Parliament of SCOTLAND the 6. day of SEPTEMBER 1641. And published by his Majesties speciall Command C R First Printed at Edinburgh in Scotland by Robert and Iames Brysons And now Printed at London by T. FAVVCET for T. BATES and are to be sold at his Shop in the Old Bayly 1641. His Majesties Manifest CHARLES by the grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the Faith c. To all to whom this present Manifest shall come greeting TO the end that the Endeavours of our late deare Father King JAMES of blessed memory and our proceedings since his Death in the cause of our deare and onely Sister Brother in law Nephewes Electors and Princes Palatine of the Rhyne may not be forgotten or pretendedly unknowne wherein we have studied and laboured nothing more then the Peace of Christendome and the avoyding the effusion of innocent blood by seeking the restitution and reestablishment of the Electorall house of Palatine in their ancient Rights Dignities and Possessions within the Empire out of which they have beene by violence and force of Armes and other undue proceedings expelled and banished contrary to the ancient Lawes and Constitutions of the Sacred Empire Wee have thought fit for the Vindication of our owne Honour to call to mind and to publish to the world both a summary Relation of our Actions and endeavours past and our present resolutions in the same cause IT cannot be unknowne to all the Princes and Estates of Europe and more particularly to those who have had any interest or relation to the publique affaires of Germany how both Our self and our Father have during these twenty yeares past by many and severall Embassages Treaties and other negotiations to our great expence charges both with the late Emperor Ferdinand the K. of Spaine and other Princes and Estates of the Empire endeavoured by all friendly and treatable meanes to procure the restitution and reestablishment of Our said deare Sister Brother in law and Nephewes in their antient Rights and Possessions as the onely and possible way to settle a good and firme Peace in the Empire and consequently with all Princes interested therein without which it is impossible to expect or hope for a good durable and honest pacification of those troubles which have already almost rent and consumed and involved all the Princes of Christendome in a most bloody and destructive Warre And for a cleare demonstration of Our syncere intentions not onely our owne pious inclination and care of the publique peace hath induced Us to omit divers occasions whereby wee might by such power as God hath put into Our hands have prevented the violences and oppressions used to our said Sister and Nephewes But wee have been led on and invited thereunto by divers promises assurances and reversall Letters both from the late Emperour and King of Spaine and other Usurpers of the Inheritances of the Electorall House Palatine that they would at last in contemplation of our Meditations hearken and incline to a just and honest Peace by the restitution of the Estates and Dignities of our deare Sister and Nephewes whereby we have beene drawne not onely to passe by our owne and the publique interest and to forbeare to ingage our Armes in so just a cause but also have procured by our Fathers and Our authority the withdrawing and disbanding of the Forces of Count Mans●elt out of the Palatinate and advanced divers Truces and cessations of hostility or defence onely to prepare the way of amiable Composition according to the hopes and promises to that end given Us and particularly have caused the Surrender and deposition of some places of strength into the hands of the late Infanta of Spaine upon reciprocall assurance of a finall pacification or restitution But what effects all these Our peaceable and Christian endeavours have produced and how all Our pious Negotiations have beene eyther delayed or deluded thereby and by processe of time to roote and establish the usurpations of the House Palatine and our Patience and Piety thereby abused is so manifest by the continuall oppression of our said deare Sister Nephews that we are forced to protest that there hath beene nothing succeeded to our desires or hopes but a resolution of despaire of ever obtaining by the wayes of Iustice Treaty or Amity that which hath beene so often promised to and expected of the Lovers of Christian peace Notwithstanding we having lately received advice from Our deare Uncle the King of Denmarck that at last by his mediation and procurement the present Emperor and Duke of Bavaria have condiscended to a treaty to be held at the Dyet at Ratisbone upon the 6. day of May last past for the reviewing and resetling of the controversies of the House Palatine as a preparation and inducement to a generall peace and Amnistia through the whole Empire And that he with some of the Electors of the Empire is accepted as Mediator of the said cause and hath deceived strong and pregnant assurances of a better inclination and disposition towards the re-establishment of the Electorall Family in their Rights and Dignities And to that end hath procured convenient safe conduct from the Emperour to our Nephew and his Brethren freely to come in person or to send their Deputies to that Dyet at the time and place appointed with all other clauses requisite for their safeties going abiding or comming from thence and there to plead the Iustice of their owne cause and that in prosecution thereof he hath instructed and dispatched his Ambassadours to assist either in person or by the Deputies of our Nephews at the said Treaty of Pacification and hath desired us herein to comply with him by sending our Ambassadours qualified and instructed to the same purpose of procuring a good and setled peace within the Empire according to the intimation of the Princes Electors signified to him by their Letters thereby desiring us to assist in the present Assembly at Ratisbone To which end our Nephew the Prince Electour Palatine having resolved by our Counsell and advice to send his Deputies according to the invitation and hopes intimated of a good issue to be expected by the amiable way of treaty and composure We also have thought fit not to be wa●ting to so good a design so concurrent to our own the desires of so many Princes and in some hope of better fruits then hitherto all our endeavors have produced Have resolved to make this our last legall by the way of treaties and to lend our Ambassadours to the Emperour and other Princes in the said Dyet assembled And to that purpose have given him full power and instructions to contribute all our authority to the procurement and settlement of a good and blessed peace by the reestablishment and restuittion of the possessions and dignities of
