M. 1648. A DECLARATION OF THE Northern Army Under the Command of Major General LAMBERT To the well-affected Ministry and People of the Kingdom of SCOTLAND WE whose names are subscribed Members of the Army under the command of the right Honorable THOMAS Lord FAIRFAX Captain Generall of all the Parliaments Forces in the Kingdom of England being by the providence of God brought into the Northern parts of this Kingdom to oppose the common enemy and the disturbers of the Peace both of this and the Kingdom of Scotland And being given to understand by good hands the sad and deplorable condition of the godly and well-affected our Brethren in Scotland by reason of the height and insolency of Malignants there and through the goodnesse of God sympathizing with their condition as if it were our own in this day of their suffering and persecution We are induced hereby to declare the integrity of our hearts and the sincerity of our intentions towards them That as it pleased God to move the hearts of the godly there to yield relief and assistance to the well-affected of this Kingdom in the day of our distresse we cannot but remember the same with all thankfulnesse and own it as an obligation upon our Spirits to endeavour all possible assistance unto them which may fall within our poor powers as some small return of that kindnesse of theirs never to be forgotten by us And although through the policy of Satan and the workings of some ungodly men there have bin monstrous Representations of us to them and many of them to us whereby to divide us and as we have found by woful experience thereby to gain the greater advantage against both for our mutu●l ruin Yet we doubt not but God will clear the name and innocency of both to each other yea that we are Brethren and notwithstanding there may be some difference in things not Fundamental through the various measures of light dispenc'd by God yet in the main we judg we all agree unfeinedly desiring that the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ might in its own power and glory take upon the hearts of all men so as there might be one professor amongst us in word only but in deed also and that we may convince the world thereof by a holy and righteous conversation towards God and man We do declare from our hearts as in the presence of God who knows them that we would not give any countenance or encouragement to any way or thing that should be cleared to us to be Error or contrary to the mind of Christ and if any thing be held by us or any amongst us that is so it would be the rejoycing of our souls to have that discovered to us and by the power of the Lords holy Spirit our selves or others to be reduced from it We are so far from seeking to supplant the Government by Presbytery that if all power were given into our hands we professe before the Almighty Jehovah rather then to disturb those who therein wait upon God as on the worship which they in conscience hold to be according to his Will ● we could ingage our lives to deliver them from the hands of any that would compel them to another Form And all that we should desire for our particulars is but the like Freedom not that we ask any liberty to sin to prophanesse loosenesse or ungodlinesse of any kind contrary to the Word and Will of God That which through the goodness of God we account our Crown and our glory is to be serviceable in our generations and if it may seem meet to him to use us in this great work now on foot as a succour or refreshment to his people in any place that very thing would be a sweet recompence of reward to us yea we take pleasure to hazard our lives to the uttermost in this work though it should be our portion when the peace of others shall be redeemed by us instrumentally from their Captivity our selves to be led into it And if after all this we shall be found or thought to be a burden we trust we shal be enabled quietly to submit to any suffering or condition unto which the good Hand of our God shall lead us This Declaration is subscribed by many thousands whose Names for brevity sake are here omitted FINIS
