appear_v by_o the_o several_a paper_n about_o that_o purpose_n yet_o extant_a the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n do_v foresee_v and_o consider_v how_o prejudicial_a it_o be_v to_o forsake_v their_o own_o

of_o england_n which_o we_o acknowledge_v can_v not_o be_v do_v without_o a_o manifest_a prejudice_n and_o injury_n to_o this_o kingdom_n wherefore_o we_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o wheresoever_o

this_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v very_o strange_a that_o when_o upon_o invitation_n they_o be_v come_v into_o england_n as_o for_o other_o end_n so_o to_o defend_v his_o majesty_n person_n their_o be_v in_o england_n shall_v be_v make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o argument_n why_o they_o shall_v deliver_v up_o the_o person_n of_o their_o king_n to_o be_v dispose_v of_o as_o both_o

have_v the_o sole_a disposal_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n it_o be_v that_o which_o come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o security_n of_o both_o kingdom_n they_o will_v real_o

england_n be_v a_o free_a nation_n and_o in_o former_a time_n it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n to_o dispose_v of_o their_o king_n and_o if_o one_o kingdom_n pretend_v to_o a_o joint_a right_n of_o dispose_v of_o the_o king_n while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v to_o entrench_v upon_o the_o former_a liberty_n of_o that_o kingdom_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o distrust_v the_o house_n of_o parliament_n who_o when_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v in_o their_o power_n will_v not_o dispose_v of_o he_o otherwise_o then_o may_v consist_v with_o their_o duty_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n and_o treaty_n between_o the_o kingdom_n answ_n we_o will_v not_o dispute_v what_o power_n the_o house_n of_o parliament_n former_o have_v to_o dispose_v of_o the_o person_n of_o their_o king_n but_o whatsoever_o power_n or_o right_n they_o have_v the_o like_a be_v due_a to_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n and_o so_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n be_v common_a to_o both_o and_o indivisible_a can_v be_v dispose_v of_o but_o by_o consent_n of_o both_o kingdom_n it_o be_v another_o question_n indeed_o if_o it_o be_v as_o in_o former_a time_n if_o we_o have_v different_a king_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o union_n of_o the_o kingdom_n under_o one_o head_n and_o monarch_n if_o there_o be_v neither_o covenant_n nor_o treaty_n between_o the_o kingdom_n but_o since_o all_o these_o be_v and_o that_o the_o peace_n and_o security_n of_o both_o kingdom_n be_v so_o much_o concern_v in_o the_o disposal_n of_o the_o king_n not_o any_o one_o of_o they_o without_o the_o other_o can_v just_o pretend_v to_o the_o sole_a judgement_n and_o right_n to_o determine_v what_o be_v best_a and_o most_o expedient_a for_o the_o safety_n and_o security_n of_o both_o nor_o can_v it_o in_o reason_n be_v make_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o one_o kingdom_n distrust_v the_o other_o because_o the_o one_o will_v not_o renounce_v and_o resign_v all_o right_a and_o interest_n they_o have_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n and_o matter_n of_o their_o own_o security_n and_o peace_n to_o the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o the_o other_o otherwise_o according_a to_o this_o argument_n where_o there_o be_v any_o trust_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o contract_n between_o person_n and_o person_n nor_o treaty_n between_o nation_n or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o treaty_n or_o agreement_n the_o performance_n or_o not_o performance_n of_o it_o be_v to_o be_v leave_v to_o arbitrement_n but_o we_o can_v see_v that_o this_o do_v argue_v any_o diffidence_n or_o distrust_n trust_v more_o than_o when_o private_a person_n lend_v money_n to_o the_o public_a desire_v security_n and_o will_v not_o depend_v upon_o pleasure_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n will_v dispose_v of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n so_o as_o may_v consist_v with_o their_o duty_n in_o perform_v the_o covenant_n and_o treaty_n yet_o this_o can_v be_v no_o argument_n why_o the_o scottish_a army_n shall_v neglect_v their_o duty_n or_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n quite_o the_o interest_n and_o right_n they_o have_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n object_n 7._o that_o the_o king_n be_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o scottish_a army_n and_o though_o a_o joint_a advice_n and_o consent_n of_o both_o kingdom_n be_v urge_v for_o his_o disposal_n yet_o if_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n agree_v not_o to_o what_o scotland_n shall_v desire_v the_o king_n do_v still_o remain_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o scot_n army_n and_o so_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n have_v no_o consent_n answ_n if_o this_o argument_n be_v turn_v over_o the_o strength_n or_o weakness_n of_o it_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o appear_v suppose_v the_o king_n be_v here_o at_o westminster_n it_o may_v be_v upon_o the_o same_o

house_n to_o be_v dispose_v of_o as_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a it_o may_v now_o abundant_o appear_v from_o the_o ground_n and_o consideration_n before_o express_v that_o the_o scottish_a army_n

to_o preserve_v the_o union_n of_o the_o kingdom_n because_o the_o enemy_n be_v still_o in_o arm_n in_o scotland_n and_o expect_v supply_n from_o ireland_n and_o the_o kingdom_n disable_v by_o their_o
