Primerose Cler. S. Cons C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE HIS MAJESTIES Declaration to his loving Subjects of his Kingdome of SCOTLAND AS there hath been no meanes left unattempted by some seditious persons which the malice and wit of rebellion could devise to infect and poison the affections and loyalty of our good Subjects of our Kingdome of England and to with-draw their hearts from us by the most pernicious and desperate calumnies that could be invented to under-value and lessen Our reputation with Forraigne Princes by injuries and affronts upon their publick Ministers and by procuring Agents to be sent qualified for negotiation without Our consent and thus to expose Us and Our Regall Authoritie to scorn and contempt by assuming a power over Us So these pernicious contrivers of these bloudy distempers have not delighted in any art more then in that by which they have hoped to stirre up Our good Subjects of that Our Native Kingdome of Scotland to joyne with them and to infuse into them a jealousie and dis-esteem of Our true affection and Our gracious intentions towards that Nation To this purpose they have used great industrie to convey into that Our Kingdome and to scatter and disperse their diverse seditious pamphlets framed and contrived against Our Person and Government and have procured Agents to be sent to reside there and to promote their designes One of which lately resident there one Pickering These are Pickerings informations which We hope ●re ●●lse by his Letters of the 9. of January from Edinburgh to Master Pym assures him of the concurrence of that Kingdome and that the Ministers in the pulpits doe in down-right termes presse the taking up of Armes And in another of his Letters of the same date to Sir John Clatworthy worthy he sayes That the trumpets sounded to the Battell and all cryed Arme arme With many other bold scandalous and seditious passages very derogatorie from that dutie and affection which We are most confident Our good Subjects of that Our Native Kingdom bear unto Us. To this purpose they traduce Us with the raising and making of Warre against Our Parliament of having an Armie of Papists and favouring that Religion of endeavouring to take away the libertie and propertie of Our Subjects And upon these grounds they have procured a publick Declaration to invite Our good Subjects of that Our Kingdome of Scotland to joyne with them and to take up Armes against Us their naturall Liege Lord. Lastly to this purpose they endeavour aswell in publick as by secret sly insinuation to beget an apprehension in them That if we prevail so farre here as by the blessing of God to preserve Our Self from the ruine they have designed to Us that the same will have a dangerous influence upon that Our Kingdome of Scotland and the Peace established there and that the good Laws lately consented to by Us for the happinesse and welfare of that our Native Kingdome will be no longer observed and maintained by Us then the same necessity which they say extorted them from Us hangs upon Us but that We will turn all Our Forces against them A calumnie so groundlesly and impiously raised that if We are in any degree conscious to Our Self of such wicked intentions We should not only not expect a dutifull sense in that Our Native Kingdome of Our sufferings but should think Our Self as unworthy of so great blessings and eminent protection as We have received from the hands of the Almighty to whom We know We must yeeld a dear accompt for any breach of trust or failing of Our duty towards Our People But as We have taken especiall care from time to time to informe Our good Subjects of that Our Native Kingdome of the Occurrences here particularly by Our Declaration of the 12 of August wherein is a plain clear narration of the beginning and progresse of Our sufferings to that time So the bold and unwarrantable proceedings of these seditious persons have been so publique and visible to the world that Our good Subjects of Scotland could not but take notice of them and have observed that after we had freely and voluntarily consented to so many Acts of Parliament as not only repaired all former grievances but also added whatsoever was proposed to Us for the future benefit and security of Our Subjects in so much as in truth there wanted nothing to make the Nation completely happy but a just sense of their own excellent condition a few discontented ambitious and factious persons so far prevailed over the weaknesse of others that in stead of receiving that return of thanks and a knowledgment which we expected and deserved Our people were poysoned with seditious and scandalous feares and jealousies concerning Us We were encountred with more importunate and unseasonable demands and at last were driven by force and tumults to flee from Our City of London for the safety of Our life after which We were still pursued with unheard-of insolencies and indignities and such members of either house as refused to joyne in those unjustifiable resolutions likewise driven from those Counsels contrary to the freedome and liberty of Parliament in so much as above four parts of five of that Assembly were likewise forced and are still kept from thence Our Forts Towns Ships and Arms were taken from Us Our Money Rents and Revenue seized and detained and that then a powerfull and formidable Army was raised and conducted against Us a good part of which was raised and mustered before we had given Our Commissions for raising one man That all this time we never denied any one thing that by the law we were required to grant or asked one thing but what by the known law was unquestionably Our Own That we earnestly pressed and desired a Treaty that we might
