SIR THe Convention of the Estates at Edenburgh is newly begun but we hear not of any resolves as yet there be some that urge with great vehemency the necessity there is for that Kingdome to assist their Brethren that keepe the covenant in England in which the Clergy have done their parts and by order of the Clergy upon an apprehension of some great danger to Religion in England and Scotland the 25 of July last a generall Fast was kept throughout Scotland that God would direct the Committee of Estates and generall Assembly of that Kingdome in preserving thereof and being helpfull to England this many men beleeve doth carry a designe which is of a higher nature then every ordinary capacity attained to and the committee of Estates themselves stumble at the designe of engaging against England for that the invitation ●s not sufficient nor a party in England sufficient to countenance such an undertaking yet the busie headed clergy endeavour what they can in their Pulpits to move and stire up the People to take up Armes and some think it is not without good cause for if Presbytery doth not prosper well in England they doubt of a continued good successe thereof in Scotland FINIS
