Church of Scotland l. 3. f. 251. 252. 253. I read that on a publike Day of Thanksgiving at S. Giles Church in Edenborough for this great Deliverance and settlement they received by the English at which the whole Nobility and greatest part of the Congregation of Scotland assembled after the Sermon made for the purpose publike thanks were given unto God for this mercifull Deliverance concluding in forme as followeth the same in substance but a little different in words from that forementioned recorded in their Liturgy But seeing that thou hast mercifully heard us and hast caused thy Virtue to triumph in us so we crave of thee continuance to the end that thy godly Name may be glorified in us thy creatures And seeing that nothing is more odious in thy presence O Lord then is Ingratitude and violation of an Oath and Covenant made in thy Name And seeing thou hast made our Confederates of England the * Instrument by whom we are now set at this liberty and to whom in thy Name we have promised mutuall faith again Let us never fall to that Unkindnesse O Lord that either we declare our selves unthankfull unto them or prophaners of thy holy Name Confound thou the Counsell of those that go about to break that most godly League contracted in thy Name and retain thou us so firmly together by the power of thy holy Spirit that Sathan have never power to set us again at variance not discord Give us thy grace to live in that Christian charity which thy Son our Lord Jesus hath so earnestly commended to all the members of his body that other Nations provoked by our example may set aside all ungodly War Contention and strife and study to live in tranquility and peace as it becommeth the Sheep of thy Pasture and the people that dayly look for our finall deliverance by the comming again of our Lord Jesus To whom with thee and the holy Spirit be all honour glory and praise now and ever Amen A prayer very fit to be publikely used now The Contract made at Barwick with the Kingdome of England by our Brethren of Scotland dated the 10 of May 1560. whereupon we were induced to send them this Brotherly Assistance was thus Prefaced by themselves Recorded in the self-same History p. 233. JAMES Duke of Chattellarault Earl of Arrane Lord Hamilton and others of the Councell Nobility and principall Estates of Scotland To all and sundry whose knowledge these presents shall come Greeting We have well considered and are fully perswaded in what danger desolation and misery the long Enmity with the Kingdome of England hath brought our Country heretofore how * wealthy and flourishing it shall become if those two Kingdomes as they are joyned in one Island by Creation of the World so they may be knit in a constant and assured friendship These considerations grounded upon a most infallible Truth ought no lesse to have moved our Progenitours and forefathers then us But the present danger hanging over our heads by the unjust dealing of those of whom we have alwayes best deserved hath caused us to weigh them more earnestly then they did The misbehaviour of the * French Monsieurs I had almost said Monsters here hath of late years been so great The oppressions and cruelties of the Souldiers the tyranny and ambition of their Superiors and Rulers so grievous to the people the violent subversion of our liberty and conquest of the land whereat they have by most crafty and subtill means continually pressed hath been I say so intollerable to us all that at last when we could not obtain redresse by humble suits and earnest supplications presented to the Queen Dowager who both for duties sake and place she doth occupie ought to have been most carefull of our state we have been by very necessity constrained not onely to assay our own Forces but also to implore the Queens Majestie of Englands ayde and support which her Majesty hath most willingly granted upon certain conditions specified in a Treaty past at Barwick betwixt the Duke of Norfolk Leiutenant to her Majesty on the one part and certain our Commissioners on the other part whereof the Tenour followeth c. These Publike professions of our Scottish Brethrens deep Engagements to our Nation heretofore to omit our Brotherly Ayd and large contributions towards them in the year 1641. and deniall to grant any Subsidies to the King himself against them when extreamly pressed in the dissolved Parliament Anno 1640. as they were forcible Enducements by way of Retaliation and Gratitude to enduce them to contribute the like Brotherly Assistance unto us in our Necessities though upon our own Expence Pay and for the preservation of their own Kingdome and Liberties as well as ours so I presume the publication of them to the World will be a most strict Obligation to them inviolably to maintain that ancient League of Friendship into which they then entred with us and have of late more solemnly renewed by their most solemne Vow and Covenant then before and to demean themselvs in these Distracted times when so many seek to divide and dash us one against another even now we have vanquished the common Enemie with that Syncerity Integrity Simplicity and Candor towards us without giving the least just occasion of Jealosie or Complaint unto Our Nation by Speech Action or violating the least Title of their Covenant and Articles of Agreement with the Parliament as may exactly answer our ancient and late brotherly square carriage towards them and their last fair and honourable Retreat from hence into their own Country to the silencing of all Malignant Jealous Spirits most inseperably unite most cordially glue us one to another for Eternity and frustrate all the Machivillian Plots and remaining hopes of our inveterate Enemies who have now no other Policy left to raise themselves and ruin us but our Division after so solemn and sacred an Union Si collidimur frangimur The prevention whereof is the onely end and Motive of this seasonable Publication FINIS * Note * Note * Note * Note

NOW Lord seeing that we enjoy comfort both in body and Spirit by reason of this quietnesse of thy mercy granted unto us after our most desperate troubles in the which we appeared utterly to have been over-whelmed we praise and glorifie thy mercy and goodnesse who pitiously looked upon us when we in our own selves were utterly confounded But seeing O Lord that to receive benefits at thy hands and not to be thankfull for the same is nothing else but a seal against us in the Day of Judgement we most humbly beseech thee to grant unto us hearts so mindfull of the calamities past that we continually fear to provoke thy Justice ●o punish us with the like or worse plagues And seeing That we by our own power were altogether unable to have freed our selves from the tyranny of strangers and from the bondage and thraldome pretended against us thou of thine especiall goodnesse didst move the hearts of our Neighbours of whom we had deserved no such favour to take upon them the common burthen with us and for our deliverance not onely to spend the * lives of many but also to hazard the estate and tranquility of their Realm and Common-wealth Grant unto us O Lord That with such reverence we may remember thy benefits received that after this in our default We never enter into Hostility against the Realm and Nation of England Suffer us never O Lord to fall to that ingratitude and detestable unthankfulnesse that we shall seek the destruction and death of those whom thou hast made instruments to deliver us from the Tyranny of mercilesse strangers Dissipate thou the Councels of such as deceitfully travell to stir the hearts of the Inhabitants of either Realm against the other Let their malicious practices be their own confusion and grant thou of thy mercy that love concord and tranquility may continue and encrease amongst the Inhabitants of this Isle even to the comming of the Lord Jesus Christ by whose glorious Evangel thou of thy mercy dost call us both to Unity Peace and Christian Concord The full perfection whereof we shall possesse in the fulnesse of thy Kingdome when all Offences shall be removed iniquity shall be suppressed and thy chosen children be fully endued with that perfect glory in the which now our Lord Jesus Christ reigneth To whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour praise and glory now and ever So be it In the History of the Reformation of the
