A DECLARATION Of the Kirk of SCOTLAND PRESENTED To the Parliament of that Kingdom on Munday the 5 of March 1647. And of a Rising there ALSO The Marchings of some Regiaments of the Scots Army against the Malignants that goe out of ENGLAND thither The Names of severall Lords made in Scotland AND Divers Votes and Orders of that Parliament CERTIFIED In a Letter from Mr. ROSSE Dated at Edenburgh March 7. 1647. March 15. 1647. Imprimatur Gil. Mabbot Printed at London by Robert Ibbitson in Smithfield neere the Queens-head Tavern 1646. The Copy of a LETTER FROM Mr. VVILLIAM ROSSE Concerning The Affaires of SCOTLAND Dated at Edenburgh March 7. 1647. Right Honourable THe Convention of the Estates of Scotland were very busie on Tuesday the 29 of Feb. 1647. in preparing of their transactions to be in a readiness to present to the Parliament at their sitting down on Thursday following There came then an Alarm into Scotland supported on the pillars of Malignants especially English that the English Army was marching to invade Scotland which put the Inhabitants of this kingdome into a great fear The Commissioners of the Kirk were then very serious for dispatch of their Declaration to be in readinesse to be presented to the Parliament Wednesday the 1 of March instant great preparations was making for the Parliaments siting downe the next day The City very full Malignants not so much countenanced as they hoped so that many are gone from Edenburgh Thursday March the 2 The Parliament sat down at their usuall place of Assembling where after their passing over of the usuall ceremonies for such a meeting There were many set Speeches made by divers of the Lords and others concerning their president which is a place as the Speaker is in England divers were nominated but it was cheefly disputed about four Lords viz The Lord Chancellour Loudoune the Earle Castles the Lord Balmerino and the Lord Burley and many stood for each of them but being put to the question it was resolved by the major part That the Lord Chancellour Loudoune should be Lord President Many new Lords are made here in Scotland without musing of the businesse and they doe sit in Parliament Sir William Cokerham is made a Lord and so is Sir John Sanderson and Sir John Hamilton of Burlington and others who are received as Peeres by the Parliament And the Lord Lowre is created Earle of A the And it is said that some others are shortly to be made Friday the 3 of March The members of the Parliament being called according to the rule for the Counties and Burroughes and the severall Commissioners debated it appeared that by reason of the great divisions in the severall Shires there hath been great stirres in chusing of the Members Insomuch that in many places they had chosen double the number of Commissioners for the Parliament one party by the Malignants and another by the well-affected party the debates about which businesse took up much time Saturday March 4 Also was spent about the debates and resolutions concerning the Counties and Burrows many of which are to chuse againe by reason of false elections in which not onely marquesse Hambleton on the one side but others on the other side have bin very active so that the people have much prejudiced from making free Elections The Earle of Nottingham and the other Commissioners presented papers to the Lord President to be communicated to the Parliament to take their former papers into consideration Mr. Marshall this last Lords day March 5. preached at Mr. Galaspies Church and had a very great audience his Sermon was very seasonable and we all hope it will doe good the good Ministers here do daily presse the maintainance of the conjunction between the two kingdomes as the interest of all honest men bindes them to doe and indeed they speak plainly and as men that are sensible of their present condition The English Commissioners daily and hourely wait to see what conclusion they shall receive from the Scots Parliament that they may not frustrate the expectation of the English Parliament nor betray the trust committed to them And I know they will doe their utmost that they may be able to beget a right understanding here of things One thing is to be lamented that some honest men seem not willing to be right informed as yet On that day the Provost of Edenburgh received information that some English in companies came in and entred the borders of Scotland about Carlile side And that they were come up as farre as Hagewick and Seterick which is within 25 or 26 miles of this place Yesterday being Munday the 6 of March the Parliament being sate were advertised of a great number of English Cavaliers and malignants of Scotland joyning with them underhand were come into the frontier Counties of Scotland In which Captain Hall Captain Wogan and others are said to be chief They are increased to between two and three hundred horse with some foot and report that thousands more are comming whereupon the Scots are making ready for their defence and some Regiaments are to march towards the borders to prevent the dangers of Malignants whose designes the Parliament here I hope will be sensible of Here is some talk here as if some of judgement should think that this Parliament will not sit here many weeks But they sit at present very close and rise not till it was very late last night On the Lords day night last there came above 70 Horsemen with a small number of Foote to Carlile and with ladders scaled the wals entred the Castle broke open the Goal and released the Mosse Troopers and other prisoners wounded the Gaoler and all marched together into Scotland It is feared that there will be an Army raised to come in for the malignants giveth it out already that if the Parliament will not give way for raising of an Army they will raise one of their own cost The Church hath finished the Declaration concerning which they have moved the Parliament for peace yet the Malignants are powerfull with the Cavaliers party and there is many English men ly ng in and about the borders Those that passed by Carlile gave out themselves for Sir Thomas Fairfaxes men untill they were past and then they declared that they were for the King Here is much veying by some for a war with England but I hope will not prevaile The Parliament of Englands last Declaration did do much good here amongst some honest-minded men though some others are not yet convinced and it was thought all this week all would doe well This last night came in a packet with Declarations which will be delivered to morrow to the Parliament This night we heare will come in the Earle of Stamford Mr. Stapleton is not yet come I hope by the next to send you better news which is all at present but that I am Your Lordships humble servant WILL.
