A BITTE To stay the Stomacks OF GOOD SVBIECTS OR A suddaine and short Vindication of the Scotts Commissioners PAPERS INTITVLED The Answer of the Commissioners of the Kingdome of SCOTLAND c. from the Imputations laid upon them In the Declaration of the Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament concerning the Papers of the Scotts Commissioners c. Martij 13. By A. H. Scoto-Britan Printed Anno Dom. 1647. HIstory informes us That when a dumbe Sonne of Craesus King of Lydia saw one ready to stab his father he conquered the naturall impediments of speech and distinctly cry'd out Kill not the King That which wrought this Wonder was the power of naturall affection by the operation of an extraordinary Sympathy surely those are justly chargeable with a more then bruitish even insensate want of affection and Sympathy who wil not now use what Nature ordinarily affords unto all Speech to rescue the father of their Country the Kings Majesty from the killing wounds ready to be given unto him This duty puts the Pen into my hands and without the Paint of Apology makes me in the absence of an intrusted and my farre more able countryman to shew unto you how dangerously the States Empetiques practise upon the body politique of Great Brittaine and make it as the Evill one their worke to propogate the sinne of their Rebellion unto all others especially unto my dear Countrimen and these poysonous pills are guilded With the pretence of undeceiving the people of both Kingdomes This worke begets in them Decla P. 6 and delivers them of A declaration of the Lords and commons assembled in Parliament concerning the Papers of the Scots Commissioners entituled the Answer of the Commissioners c. And horrid impiety that what men themselves wilfully reject they should envie unto others Repentance The Scots through misprison of zeale as Paul did Christ have persecuted their Soveraigne but now are divinely converted and will no longer engage with the Parliament in this sin as they have published unto the world in their Answer upon the New propositions of peace and the foure Bills sent unto his Majesty full of Honor and Honesty cleare from all the cavills of these desperate contrivers and the ripe consultations of Men of singular Iudgement and exemplary integrity who sincerely represented the sence of their Nation and therefore although they are burthened with forgetfulnesse of the worke about which they came P. 8 with interpositions in things concerned them not and deviation from the trust of the Kingdome of Scotland they received as the Guerdon of true Patriots and experienced States-men before their departure from this city a publique Instrument of thankefull approbation from almost all the Nobles of Scotland for their good carriage and wise conduct of the affaires of that Kingdomes heere So that wherein they quarrel the proceedings of the Commissioners they might have been pleased P. 7 but it made not for them to intend the Kingdome of Scotland That which is first noted by them to disgust the Scots was the alteration of the Propositions sent to Newcastle from those of Oxford P. 8 in the management of the Militia of the three Kingdomes the War of Ireland the education and marriage of the Kings children c. The concluding peace or war with forrain Princes c P. 10 As though these were not principall interests of the Kingdome of Scotland as well as of England and was the prosecuting these interests in the Kingdome of England the Offensive exercise of an Interest in that Kingdome It were much to be wished this distinction had beene offered before the Scots Army left England Surely these alterations the Post na●i tells us leaves them worse then you found them and takes from them their birth-right of equall capacity with your Sectes joyne with you in your Rebellion at first with much of your own as the Devill unto our Saviour you tendred more then was your owne and now your worke is done will you deny unto them what is their owne in a word the sence of your Resolution never to grant them the exercize of interest in this kingdome P. 62 is to recede from the Articles of the Treaty between both Kingdomes P. 76 to debarre them of all places and Offices of trust P. 80 and profit in this Kingdome and to reserve them for your selves and your confiding creatures which is a right and interest of the Kingdome of Scotland will be further claimed and disputed with you Yet the waving these interests for the time by the Scots could not but be acknowledged to proceed from transparent inclinations unto peace but now because by the progresse of your unlimited Vsurpations upon his Majesties royall Rights in which the Interests of the Scotts are especially included being better informed they differ in Iudgement from your Propositions P. 22 This causes your wonder Are further results of Judgement upon further and more cleare Information no wayes to be permitted This were to obstruct all passages unto humare certainty of knowledge which is perfected by experience the Child of time But these men because they will compleat their sinnes with Obstinacy will admit of no variation from their first principles to unthrone the King and now much wonder that the Scots will not arrive with them at that point of Impiety Because the Scots cannot grant that his Majesty royal succession should be devested of the power of the Militia P. 11 and conferring Titles of Honour the Essentiall rights of Regality for which they liberally affoard them solid Reasons the Parliament retrive nothing to procure further satisfaction but blow them of with P. 12 that they are the transcript of the Kings Arguments about HVLL which amounts unto this That what comes from the King how consistent soever with Reason cannot be of force or worthy the Answering It is no marvell the Kings reasons are no higher rated by them when that the word of God can have but that Authority and Acceptation with them it hath with the Devill but wherein they can force it unto a specious though false Consistency with their owne ends and Interests And it cannot certainely without astonishment and Horror P. 24 P. 38 he observed with what slighting and indignation they mention his sacred Majesty throughout the whole Series of their Declaration as though they were resolved to lay him altogether aside as some monstrouse or accursed thing How do they abhorre from a Personall Treaty so often pressed by the Commissioners as the only expedient of a safe and well grounded Peace betweene his Majesty and his people In order whereunto when the disbanding of the Army was propounded by them how they discover a Tyranny awed with continuall feare and only supported by the power of an Army Had Sir Thomas Fairfax his Army beene disbanded then indeed say they they might have brought the King to London P. 13 whether the Parliament would or no and have brought the Parliament unto a Personall Treaty with him

Church in his owne family and having severall Sonnes these afterwards being different in Judgement there became at length so many Churches and Religions as there were persons in the House from which many of the Grandees at Westminster are probably extracted And as unto that grand exception taken against the Commissioners for propounding that an act of oblivion without any caution or limitation should be passed in both Kingdomes whereby Delinquents shall be set upon an even flowre p. 33 with those that have engaged against them in that Cause The Scots conceive themselves obliged in the strictest points of honour to advance what they possibly may the good of those high Noble and Loyall spirits which no obliquity of worldly respect no distortion of danger or weight of suffrings hath beene able to divorce from his Majesties service And as they acknowledge it their great unhappinesse that they have not had the Honour to be sharers with them hitherto in this Glory So now it is their ambition to have part and fellowship with them in this most noble worke and just undertaking of re-establishing his Sacred Majestie into his unquestionable Rights In pursuance whereof what the Parliament object unto the Scots Commissioners that through all these and many former Papers they plead the Cause of the King and his Partie They will hence forward p. 34 urge that Cause with the most powerfull and now onely Arguments the Parliament of England can yeild unto gnash they never so much with their teeth Such favorites are Delinquents now growne with them p. 35 as by their Reception at Edenburgh they may guesse Nor can lesse be expected from the Scots as on whom the Parliament of England hath so notoriously imposed as to have his Majestie left unto them by them upon such tearmes and assurances of high regard unto his Majesties Person and Royall Rights The contrary whereof in every point they have unto their eternall infamy performed p. 41 which assurances though they evade and deny them shall be justified unto the world by the publication of the transactions betweene the Commissioners of both Nations at New-castle and also by the Overtures ever sithence His Majesties Person and Royall Rights being of equall concernment unto the Scots with the English although the Parliament of England call these exclusively their owne rights for which they hold it not fit to capitulate p. 41 And for this abuse of brotherly confidence in the Houses the Scots doubt not in Gods mercy to bring them unto such an account as shall leave the whole reckoning of His Majesties unparalel'd sufferings upon themselves who now seeme to have no way of Iustification left but by further progresse in crimes So that it is not to be marveiled at they seeme so much to undervalue His Majesties Regall Power of conferring titles of Honour and labour to render the Scots ridiculous for that they are so extreame thirsty p. 75 to drinke of the Fountaine of Honour so they stile the King say they because indeed the Parliament of England as to the over-ruling partie thereof many being led aside by their fraud and violence have left off to be honest Honour being but the proper seat and stall of honestie Neither can it be presumed that they desire to taste of this fountaine when they make it their worke to damme and fill it up with the rubbish of their new Government and yet unshapen Tyranny wholy trampling under their feet all the Divine and Glorious prerogatives and Royall Priviledges of Monarchy exercised in all ages by the Kings of England and Scotland The Sunne in his greatest splendor is not more manifest then this By their endeavour to take away His Majesties Prerogative in the settlement of Religion His Legislative power the Negative voyce the Militia the disposing of Offices conferring of Honours the disposing of his Children the election of his Servants with many other rights that append unto these In which transcendent usurpations upon their owne borne King should the Scots concurre they should most justly render themselves the shame of all Nations and the off-scouring of the world The perfidie of the leading partie in the present Parliament hath already given too great a staine unto their Honour by their dealing with His Majestie which they will sooner wash off with prodigall streames of the dearest and best blood of Scotland then they will suffer to remaine or rest longer upon them And whereas they lay an heavy load upon the Commissioners of unthankfulnesse unto their Armie who shewed such tender fellow-f●●ling of their sufferings and their true-heartednesse towards them p. 88 89 The Armie might well pay them with words for thy many blowes they received and with which they discharged their scores in Scotland and saved their heads with the losse of many thausand of their owne lives in England They no wayes being able to have matched much lesse to have mastred His Majesties party without their conjuncture No English man all this while loosing one drop of blood for the Cause in Scotland and as the Scots have very dearely earned their whole pay had it beene more and more truly paid with the vast expence of their blood the impoverishment of their County and a bloody engagement against their owne bowells so hath it cost them most by incurring the forrain censure of disloyalty Into which the Hypocrisie and Avarice of the Parliament of England principally led them and to discharge themselves of this burthen now become intollerable and to shew unto the world that the present practises of the Parliament of England were not the motives of their advance into the Kingdome they resolve with Gods leave to manifest the contrary and speedily to come nearer unto them to debateface to face the Royall Rights of His Majesty p. 76 80 and their joynt interests so eluded by them with such demonstrations as by Gods helpe will be of force manifestly to prove by their power what by their Commissioners they have propounded in their Papers Reader take this for the first light skirmish of a reply unto the Declaration untill the maine battell of more manifest Demonstrations for the truth of what is here set forth in the behalfe of the Answer of the Scots Commissioners can be drawne up and rallied FINIS Sion Coll. visited Icon Ani.
