The Copy of a Letter from the Marquesse of Argyle and Sr William Armyne to Sir Thomas Glemham Gentlemen ALthough we justly presume that the solemne mutuall Covenant entered into by both Kingdomes hath long since come to your hands and likewise that you have had notice of the raising of this Army desired by the Parliament of England for the prosecution of those ends therein expressed viz. The preservation and reformation of Religion the true Honour and happinesse of the King and the publique Peace and liberty of His Dominions yet that it may appeare both to you and all the World how unwilling we are to make a forcible use of those Armes we have been constrained by the disappointment of all other meanes of safety to take up We the Commissioners and Committees of both Kingdomes have thought fit besides that Declaration a Copy whereof we herewith send lately emitted in the name of the Kingdome of Scotland for the satisfaction of the people concerning the entrance of this their Army to take more particular notice of you the chiefe Gentlemen and Commanders hoping likewise that things of so great and considerable consequence will find with you such entertainment as may answer the weight and importance of them We will not so much wrong the cause we have undertaken as to go about after so many evident demonstrations of the necessity of our present posture to dispute it with you but rather instead of arguments we think it reasonable to acquaint you with our well weighed resolutions which are through the assistance of that God in whose cause we are ingaged and whose strength alone we trust in with our utmost industry and hazard to endeavour the prevention of that imminent danger not only of corruption but of ruine which we see evidently intended to the true Protestant Religion by the Popish and Prelaticall faction who never wanted will but now think they want not strength and opportunity to accomplish it as also the rescuing His Maiesties Person and honour so deeply and unhappily intangled in the Counsells practices of them whose actions speak their ends to be little better then Popery and Tyranny and the redeeming the Peace and Liberty of his Dominions in which the Irish Rebellion and the sad and unnaturall divisions in England have made so great a breach To the accomplishment of these so iust and honourable designes we have reason to expect the concurrence of all men who either owe or pretend a due love to their Religion King and Country and shall be very sory to want yours but if mis-information or any other unhappy grounds shall so farre prevaile with you as to reckon us in the number of your Enemies which certainly we are not if you be friends to those ends mentioned in our Covenant and if instead of that concurrence with us which we wish and hope to deserve we find from you opposition and Acts of hostility The Law of nature and your owne reason will tell you what you are to expect We only adde that though it will not a little trouble us to see men withstanding not only us but their owne good and happinesse Yet it doth in good measure satisfie us that we have not neglected this or any other meanes to the best of our power or understanding to prevent those inconveniences and mischiefes that may arise from those Acts of force which we shall be necessitated unto Subscribed at Barwick the 20th of Ianuary 1643. by the warrant and in the name of the Committees of both Kingdoms by us Your Friends Argyll W. Armyne Sir Thomas Glemhams Letter in Answer to the Marquesse of Argyl's and Sir William Armyne's My Lord I Have this day received yours together with one to the Gentlemen of the Countrey and having communicated with them we returne you this Answer That without the sight of that Letter we could not have bin induced by any flying rumors to beleeve that the Scottish Nation or the prevailing party for the present in that Nation would have attempted an Invasion of England so contrary to the Lawes of God of Nations of both Kingdoms and especially to the late Act of Pacification so opposite to their Allegiance and gratitude to His Majesty to that neighbourly love which they pretend to that discreet care which they should have of their own safety We could not otherwise have imagined that they who by His Majesties goodnesse enjoy a settlement of their Church and State according to their own desires should needlesly and ingratefully imbroyle themselves in a businesse that concernes them not forfeit their Rights disoblige His Majesty and hazard the losse of their present happinesse No Order of any Committee or Committees whatsoever of Men or Angells can give them power to March into the Bowels of another Kingdome to make offensive Warre against their naturall Soveraigne upon the empty pretence of Evill Councellors who could never yet be named And for the English agents we cannot believe them to be any Commissioners Lawfully authorized either by the Parliament or by the two Houses
