On Saturday Feb. 19. The Lord Chancellour came to the English Commissioners The Earle of Nottingham Mr. Robert Goodwin Mr. Ashurst and Colonell Birch being at their Quarters in an Inne for no house is yet assigned to them nor I do not know whether any will at all And his Lordship made aspeech after a short complement of salute to them A Speech made by the Lord Loudone Chancellor of Scotland to the English Commissioners at Edenburgh February 19. 1647. My Lord I am commanded by the Convention of the Estates of this Kingdome to waite upon your Lordships to know if you have any addresses to make unto them from the Parliament of England which if you have they desire you to communicate them unto mee that I may give the Committee an account thereof The English Commissioners told them that they had addresses to make to them from the Parliament of England The Lord Chancellour demanded by what authority they came The English Commissioners shewed him what gave satisfaction in that particular also For ought I finde the English Commissioners are not heartily welcome to Scotland but they carry themselves faire in outward civilities onely they doe not provide a place sutable to their receptions at Worcester House in the Strand when they alwayes come to London The Lordsday Feb. 20. Was a day of publique humiliation at Edenburgh and the parts adjacent Mr. Marshall when he was here before was intreated to preach by many of the Scots Clergie but now hee is not desired to come into any of their Pulpits hee askes not nor doe they offer only he Preacheth before the English Commissioners and many come to heare him The Scots Ministers thundred in their Pulpits against Sectaries and Covenant-breakers c. But I doe not heare that any of them speake any thing about the King either one way or other Malignants interpret them to include the King as being one branch of the Covenant but this is sub-intelligitur I pray God compose all our differences that wee may be cordiall and love sincerely The City is very full it is said seldome hath been seen the like But me thinkes I could not find the Churches so full Many honest men were much displeased at the carriages of some English travellers that are here that might finde better imployment at home Yester day the Committee of Estates chose Committees who are to consider of the Papers according to Instructions so that ther cannot be much expected from hence untill the Parliament sit about March the sixt next Our Commissioners are not received in that capasity by the Estates as was expected When the Parliament sits here the great question will be whether they will condescend for an Army to passe into the Kingdome of England The Scots are yet quiet and there is no appearance of any considerable visible force acting or levying only what the imaginations of the Cavaliers doth produce who are somewhat high in the South part of Scotland and speake broad words The cheifest matters which have passed betweene the Committee of Estates of Scotland and the Commissioners from the Parliament of England are to this effect The English Commissioners communicated Papers to the Scots advertizing that they were sent from the Parliament of England to cleare them of labours and indeavours for continuance of peace betweene the Nations and to take off misrepresentations desiring that they may be heard in such things as shall be objected against their proceedings that so there may be continued a right understanding between the Nations They received a Paper backe from the Scots of their order for the Chancellor to receive what they had to present The Commissioners shewed their letters of credence from the Houses of Parliament to the Parliament of Scotland a Paper was sent them backe that the Parliament was since the date of the said letters of credence risen The Commissioners then sent in another Paper concerning their Instructions from both houses of Parliament to treate with the Committee of the Estates of Scotland which having passed both Houses is of power equivalent as an Ordinance This Answer is now under debate by the Grand Committee of Estates where it was declared by divers of the Members that it would be a breach both of the Covenant and Treaty to refuse a Treaty with the English Commissioners seeing that they are appointed by authority of both Houses You in England may suppose delay but need to feare no breach from hence to ingage new warres God send an happy peace So prays Edenburgh 22. of Feb. 1647.
