We declare before God and the World that we are resolved sincerely really and constantly to maintain and preserve inviolably with the hazard of our lives and fortunes and all that is dearest unto us the Reformation of Religion in Doctrine Worship and Discipline as it is by the mercy of God and his Majesties goodnesse established by law amongst us and never to suffer it by fraud or force to be taken from us nor yet to indure the bringing in of Episcopacy the Book of Common prayer or any other of these innovasions superstitions thrown out of this Church as some have bin so impudent to aver We doe also declare That we will endeavour the rescue of his Maj. person from his base imprisonment that he may come with honour freedom and safety to some of his owne houses in or neare London that the Parl. of both Kingdoms may make their appl cations to him for obtaining his royall assent to such desires as shall be by them presented unto him for establishing Religion and setling a well grounded peace that so all differences and troubles may end and the King enjoy his royall Consort and Children with other contentments and we after so great distractions and long continued sufferings may reape the blessed fruits of tru h and peace under his Go●ernment 3. That the two houses of Parliament may be restored to their freedome that all Members who have been faithfull to this cause may freely and safely attend their charges thot the Parliament being Masters of their own councels and resuits they may together with the consent and advice of the Kingdom of Scotland conclude in a treaty with his Majesty all other things expedient to a thorough settlement 4. That the City of London which hath expended so much in blood and treasure may have their former propositions presented to the King at Oxford and Newcastle and prest as was formerly intended 5. That the Army of Sectaries under the command of Thomas L. Fairfax of Camron be disbanded and none imployed either in relation of the prosecution of the war in Ireland or the necessary Garrisons and Forces but such as have or shall take the Covenant and are well affected to Religion and Government that so the people of England may be cased of Taxes free quarter and other great impositions under which they have so long groaned And although the interest of Religion the King and Kingdom and a setling of a solid peace be the cause of this undertaking yet we doe not doubt but due regards will be had to the concernments of Scotland contained in our severall former Demands b●th in relation to what is due to this Kingdom and their Armies here and in I●eland and also what is necessary for the better safety union and Government of the Kingdomes FINIS
