THE DECLARATION Of the LORDS and COMMONS assembled in the Parliament of England to the Subjects of Scotland c. WE the Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament of England considering with what wisedome and publick affection our Brethren of the Kingdom of Scotland did concurre with the endeavours of this Parliament and the desires of the whole Kingdome in procuring and establishing a firme peace and amity between the two Nations and how lovingly they have since invited us to a nearer and higher degree of union in matters concerning Religion Church government which we have most willingly and affectionately embrac'd and intend to pursue Cannot doubt but they will with as much forwardnes and affection concurre with us in setling peace in this Kingdome and preserving it in their own that so we may mutually reap the benefit of that amity and alliance so happily made and strongly confirmed betwixt the two Nations Wherefore as we did about a year since in the first appearance of trouble then beginning amongst them actually declare That in our sense and apprehension of the Nationall alliance betwixt us we were thereby bound to apply the authority of Parliament and power of this kingdome to the preservation and maintenance of their peace And seeing now that the troubles of this Kingdome are grown to a greater height and the subtile practice of the Common Enemy of the Religion and Liberty of both Nations do appeare with more Evidence strength and danger then they did at that time we hold it necessary to declare that in our judgment the same obligation lyes upon our Brethren by the aforementioned Act with the power force of that Kingdome to assist us in repressing those amongst us who are now in armes and make Warre not only without consent of Parliament but even against the Parliament and for the destruction thereof Wherefore we have thought good to make known to our Brethren that His Majestie hath given Commissions to divers eminent and known Papists to raise forces and to compose an Army in the North and other parts of this Kingdome which is to joyne with diverse forraine forces intended to be transported from beyond the Seas for the destruction of this Parliament and of the Religion and Liberty of the Kingdome And that the Prelaticall part of the Clergy and their Adherents have likewise incited His Majesty to raise another Army which in His own Person he doth conduct against the Parliament and the City of London plundring and robbing sundry well-affected Townes within their power And that in prosecution of their malice they are so presumptuous and predominant of His Majesties resolutions that they forbeare not those outrages in places to which His Majesty hath given His Royall word and protection A great cause and incentive of which malice proceeds from the designe they have to hinder the Reformation of Ecclesiasticall government in this Kingdom so much longed for by all the true lovers of the Protestant Religion And hereupon we further desire our Brethren of the Nation of Scotland to raise such forces as they shall judge sufficient for the securing the peace of their own borders against the ill-affected persons there as likewise to assist us in suppressing the Army of Papists and Forrainers which as we expect will shortly be on foot here and if they be not timely prevented may prove as mischievous and destructive to that Kingdome as to our selves And though we seek nothing from His Majestie that may diminish either His just Authority or Honour and have by many humble Petitions endeavoured to put an end to this dangerous and unnaturall Warre combustion in the Kingdome and to procure His Majesties protection and security for our Religion Liberty and persons according to that great trust which His Majesty is bound to by the Lawes of the Land and shall still continue to renew our Petitions in that kind Yet to our great grief we see the Papisticall and malignant Counsell so prevalent with His Majestie and His person so engaged to their power that we have little hope of any better successe of our Petitions then We formerly had and are thereby necessitated to stand upon our just defence and to seek the speedy and powerful assistance of our Brethren of Scotland according to the Act agreed upon in the Parliaments of both Kingdomes the Common duty of Christianity and the particular interest of their own Kingdome To which we hope God will give such a blessing that it may produce the preservation of Religion the Honour Safety and peace of His Majestie and all His Subjects and a more strict conjunction of the Counsells designes and endeavours of both Nations for the comfort and relief of the reformed Churches beyond Sea 7.

Parliam HIS MAJESTIES Message to the Lords of His Privie Councell of Scotland upon the aforesaid occasion RIght Trusty and Right Welbeloved Cousins and Right Trusty and Welbeloved Counsellours We greet you well We have lately seen a paper presented to Us by the Earl of Lyndsey as a Declaration of the Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament of England of the 7. of Novem. to Our Subjects of Our Kingdome of Scotland which after many high taxes of Us and Our Government very earnestly invites and in a manner challenges assistance from that Our Native Kingdome of Men and Armes for making Warre against Us making a clayme to that assistance by vertue of the late Act of pacification to the which out of Our desire to make a perpetuall union between Our two Kingdomes for the happinesse of both and by it the more firmely to establish Our own greatnesse and just power We cheerfully consented As We are at Our soule afflicted that it hath been in the power of any factious ambitious and malitious persons so far to possesse the hearts of many of Our Subjects of England as to raise this miserable distemper and distraction in this Kingdome against all Our reall actions and endeavours to the contrary so We are glad that this rage and fury hath so far transported
