THE DECLARATION OF THE LORDS AND Commons assembled in the Parliament of England to the Subjects of Scotland WITH HIS MAIESTIES Message to the Lords of His Privy Counsell of SCOTLAND upon that occasion Charles R. Our expresse pleasure is That this Our Declaration be Published in all Churches and Chappels within Our Kingdome of England and Dominion of Wales by the Parsons Vicars or Curates of the same Printed by His MAJESTIES Command AT OXFORD By LEONARD LICHFIELD Printer to the Vniversity 1642. The Declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament of England to the Subjects of Scotland c. WEE the Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament of England considering with what Wisdome and publike Affection our Brethren of the Kingdome of Scotland did coneurre with the endeavours of this Parliament and the desires of the whole Kingdom in procuring and establishing a firme peace and amity between the two Nations and how lovingly they have since invited us to a nearer and higher degree of union in matters concerning Religion and Church government which we have most willingly and affectionatly embrac'd and intend to pursue Cannot doubt but they will with as much forwardnesse and affection concurre with us in setling peace in this Kingdom and preserving it in their own that so we may mutually reap the benefit of that amity and allyance so happily made and strongly confirmed betwixt the two Nations Wherefore as we did about a yeare since in the first appearance of trouble then beginning amongst them actually declare That in our sense and apprehension of the Nationall allyance betwixt us we were thereby bound to apply the authority of Parliament and power of this Kingdom to the preservation and maintenance of their peace And seeing now that the troubles of this Kingdom are grown to a greater height and the subtile practice of the Common Enemy of the Religion and Liberty of both Nations doe appeare with more Evidence strength and danger then they did at that time we hold it necessary to declare that in our judgement the same obligation lyes upon our Brethren by the afore-mentioned Act with the power and force of that Kingdom to assist us in repressing those amongst us who are now in armes and make warre not only without consent of Parliament but even against the Parliament and for the destruction thereof Wherefore we have thought good to make known to our Brethren that His Majesty hath given Commission to divers eminent and known Papists to raise forces and to compose an Army in the North and other parts of this Kingdom which is to joyne with diverse forraine forces intended to be transported from beyond the Seas for the destruction of this Parliament and of the Religion and liberty of the Kingdom And that the Prelaticall part of the Clergy and their adherents have likewise incited His Majesty to raise another Army which in His own Person he doth conduct against the Parliament and the Citty of London Plundring and Robbing sundry well-affected Townes within their power And that in prosecution of their malice they are so presumptious and predominant of His Majesties resolutions that they forbeare not those outrages in places to wich His Majesty hath given his Royall word and Protection A great cause and incentive of which malice proceeds from the designe they have to hinder the Reformation of Ecclesiasticall government in this Kingdom so much longed for by all the true lovers of the Protestant Religion And hereupon we further desire our Brethren of the Nation of Scotland to raise such forces as they shall Iudge sufficient for the securing the peace of their own borders against the ill-affected persons there as likewise to assist us in suppressing the Army of Papists and Forreiners which as wee expect will shortly be on foot heere and if they be not timely prevented may prove as mischievous and distructive to that Kingdome as to our selves And though we seek nothing from His Majesty that may diminish His just Authority or Honour and have by many humble Petitions endeavoured to put an end to this unnaturall Warre and Combustion in the Kingdom and to procure His Majesties Protection and Security for our Religion Liberty Persons according to that great trust which His Majesty is bound to by the Lawes of the Land shall still cōtinue to renew our Petitions in that kind Yet to our great griefe wee see the Papisticall and malignant Counsell so prevalent with His Majesty and His Person so engaged to their power that wee have little hope of better successe of our Petitions then wee formerly had and are thereby necessitated to stand upon our just defence and to seeke the speedy and powerfull assistance of our Brethren of Scotland according to that Act agreed upon in the Parliaments of both Kingdomes the common duty of Christianity and the particular interests of their owne Kingdome To which wee hope God will give such a blessing that it may produce the preservation of Religion the Honour Safety and peace of His Majesty and all His Subjects and a more strict conjunction of the Counsells designes and endeavours of both Nations for the comfort and releife of the Reformed Churches beyond Sea 7. Novemb. 1642. Hen. Elsing Cl Parl D. Com. Iohn Browne Cler Parliam His MAjESTIES Message to the Lords of His Privy Counsell of Scotland upon the afore-said Occasion RIght Trusty and Right Welbeloved Cosens and Counsellours and Right Trusty and Welbeloved Counsellours We greet you well We have lately seen a Paper presented to Us by the Earle of Lynsey as a Declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament of England of the 7. of November to Our Subjects of Our Kingdom of Scotland which after many high taxes of Us and Our Government very earnestly invites and in a manner challenges Assistance from that Our native Kingdom of Men and Armes for making a Warre against Us makeing a clayme to that Assistance by virtue of the late Act of Pacification to the which out of Our desire to make a perpetuall union between Our two Kingdoms for the happinesse of both and by it the more firmely to establish Our owne greatnesse and just power We cheerfully consented As We are at Our soule afflicted that it hath been in the Power of any factious ambitious and malitious Persons so farr to possesse the hearts of many of Our Subjects of England as to rayse this miserable Distemper and Distraction in this Kingdome against all Our reall Actions and Endeavours to the contrary so We are glad that this rage and fury hath so farr transported them that they apply themselves in so grosse a manner to Our Subjects of Scotland whose experience of Our Religion Iustice and Love of Our People will not suffer them to beleeve those horrid Scandalls laid upon Us and their Affection Loyalty and Iealousie of Our Honour will disdain to be made Instruments to oppresse their Native Soveraigne by assisting an odious Rebellion
