PAPERS FROM SCOTLAND OF Transactions of the Scots Commissioners concerning the KING And the Parliament of England Delivered at the Convention of Estates at Edinburgh ALSO A Conference by the Marquis of Arguile the Earle Louderdaile and the Lord Lothean with the English Commissioners AND The proceedings of the Grand Committee of Estates and the Commissioners of the Kirk of Scotland Printed at London by Robert Ibbitson in Smithfield neere the Queens-head Tavern 1648. 1647 Feb. 23 Imprimatur Gilb. Mabbot PAPERS FROM SCOTLAND OF Transactions of the Scots Commissioners concerning the KING and the Parliament of England Right Honourable THe Grand Committee of Estates for the kingdome of Scotland Conveened at Edinburgh on Tuesday February 8. On which day both the English Commissioners Mr. Ashurst and Collonell Birch came to Edenburgh with Mr. Marshall and also the Scots Commissioners that night But their Grand Convention of Estates had onely some Speeches made by divers Lords viz. the Marquis of Arguile the Lord Lothean Mr. Hamilton and others to congratulate their meeting but it being moved that in regard the Scots Commissioners were not there ready with their Reports they might adjourne untill Thursday Februa 10. which the Committee of Estates accordingly Ordered On Wednesday the 9 of February the Committee of the Kirke of Scotland sate and proceeded in some debates which they had been upon the day before concerning some non-conformists in Scotland there being much disturbance in divers of the Kirkes by some who stand for liberty of Conscience in Church-worship The Marquis of Arguile the Earl Lauderdaile and the Lord Lothean not Lord Loudoun the Lord Chancellor gave our Commissioners a visit at their lodging which is at an Inne there being no house provided for them and I can assure you that there are not Innes here like the London ones a sorry place yet such as are in Edinburgh These three Lords were very courteous to our Commissioners and the Scots in generall are civill to them On Thursday the 10 of Februa The Grand Committee of Estates met againe And the Earle of Loudoun Lord Chancellour and the Earle Lauderdaile with the rest of the Scots Commissioners from London began to make their Reports concerning transactions of overtures by them in England since last they went from Edenburgh And declared to the Committee what they had offered to the Parliament of England and what engagements they had tendred to the King as also what they had done to satisfie his Majesty Particularly what was transacted by them with his Majesty at Hampton Court and so other Overtures untill the time that his Majesty was removed from Hampton Court Divers of the Lords and the rest of the Estates in particular gave them thanks for their fidelity and for their paines after the Estates were risen but the businesse is not yet debated what shall be done in a body by the whole Committee of Estates by order because when they sit again they are to go on in their reports untill they have finished all which will hardly bee this week and then perhaps a week or more in debate afterwards They then ordered to fit this present Thursday being the 15 of February and are to fit by and by And did Order February 10 last past that the English Commissioners should make their addresses to the Lord Chancellour Loudoune who is president to the Committee of Estates And the reason of the last adjournment untill this day was because he is not well And for ought I see they wil so adjourn that time will spin out to a full length before they come to the period So I hope there will be no great feare of raising Forces in Scotland this yeare And before Winter we may all learne wit to be friends Here is a muttering of Sir Lewis Dives being in this Kingdome but I see him not nor heare of him where he is Some rumor here that the Earle of Leven is gone away in a discontent saying that he would loose his life but he would set the Crowne on the Kings head but this is false and therefore if any Malignants from hence shall writ any such thing into England beleeve it not for it is utterly false On Friday the 11 of February the Commissioners of the Kirke sat and had reports made concerning the substance of the Committee of Estates the day before something was moved about drawing up a paper to present to the Committee of Estates at their sitting but it was at last resolved that nothing should be done in that particular untill the Commissioners had made a full report of the English negotiation On Saturday the 12 of February came news hither of the Disbanding of the supernumerary Forces in the North of England which gives much content to divers of the Commissioners of Estates here as themselves expresse We had here some talke of Prince Charles his comming hither as some said was expected from France others said it was the Duke of York to come from London But the Scots are so farre from agitating or liking any such designe that they generally say they will have neither King Queene nor any of the Kings Children to be there to charge them they cannot spare monies neither for Warre nor Honour they will labour to maintain what they have and to keep their own kingdome quiet if they can and let others shift for themselves On the Lords day Febru 13. the Ministers here which we heard did pray zealously for peace and preached very honestly though we have heard that some others have been a little too bitter else where there were very few that day with our Commissioners Yesterday being Munday the 14 of Febru●●● many Lords and other Gentlemen came to Town from other parts so that this City of Edenburgh is very full things are exceeding deare and accommodation bad better in many Villages in England But which is worse than all the former the Plague breaks out here very violently and many dye every day more then other so that we begin to fear danger in residing here except some place be assigned for the Commissioners out of Edenburgh and the Scots Estates adjourn to some other place or there sitting untill the Parliament meet to adjourn This day being the 15 of Februa the Convention of Estate are to meet And the Scots Commissioners are to proceed upon their reports concerning the English Negotiation from the time that his Majesty came last to Hampton Court what transacted there and so on untill their return As also what papers they delivered into the Parl of England and what answers they received as also concerning some passages about the English Army which will take up so much time that I beleeve the English Commissioners for ought I heare this day cannot make their addresses to them before March. The Marquesse of Arguile and divers of the Committee of Estates yea and many of the Scots Ministers protest that they will labour for a right understanding between the two Nations and for settlement of a firme and inviolable Peace for the Souldiery mony I le warrant you will stop their mouths and there is none visible to them any where but hopes of the English Arrears And the Inhabitants of Scotland long to hear of all things to be united and setled between the Kingdomes For which he prayes who is My Lord Your Lordships humble servant WIL. ROSSE Edenburge the 15 of Feb. 1647. FINIS
