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

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

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

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

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

against_o their_o consent_n the_o like_a we_o suppose_v will_v be_v mutual_o acknowledge_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a right_n and_o liberty_n of_o either_o kingdom_n that_o none_o can_v just_o without_o their_o own_o consent_n impede_fw-la or_o restrain_v the_o person_n of_o their_o king_n from_o come_v among_o they_o and_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o king_n unto_o they_o and_o in_o both_o these_o sense_n we_o acquiesce_v in_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n but_o if_o the_o vote_n shall_v be_v mean_v or_o make_v use_n of_o as_o restrictive_a to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n and_o exclusive_a of_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n or_o as_o if_o the_o two_o house_n be_v to_o dispose_v of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n by_o their_o single_a and_o sole_a authority_n without_o the_o consent_n and_o concurrence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n we_o trust_v this_o sense_n be_v as_o far_o from_o the_o

the_o parliament_n of_o england_n have_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o the_o person_n be_v but_o one_o both_o kingdom_n must_v needs_o share_v equal_o in_o that_o joint_a

of_o scotland_n have_v to_o dispose_v of_o the_o person_n of_o this_o king_n of_o england_n if_o he_o be_v in_o scotland_n and_o as_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n may_v just_o conceive_v their_o
