That the Lord would be pleased to blesse those addresses that are now to be made to his MAJESTIE for the security of Religion the union betwixt the Kingdomes and the peace and safety of this Kingdome 3. That he would strenthen and deliver our afflicted Brethren in England who suffer by the violence and strange practises of the Sectaries 4. That he would in his mercy prevent all those calamities and confusions that the present great revolution of Affaires doth threaten these Kingdomes with So hoping that you will be carefull to stirre up your selves and others to wrastle with God in such an exigent and to intimate the Fast timously and to keep the same in your severall congregations the foresaid day We shall only adde that if there be any in your congregations who refuse to renew the Covenant and are not excluded by the Act Our judgement is that after you have conveened them before you and found them obstinate that you make publick intimation of their names from your Pulpits as of persons that are dissaffected and enemies to the cause of God and that you referre them to the next Generall Assembly till which time you are to suspend them from the Sacrament of the Lords Supper and from all Ecclesiastick charge that so they may be in the same case with those who are excluded because of their malignancy and accession to the engagement We commend you to his Grace and rests Edinburgh Febr. 6. 1649.
