a_o remonstrance_n and_o resolution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n show_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o second_o come_v into_o england_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v oppose_v the_o parliament_n publish_a with_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o council_n of_o scotland_n print_a first_o in_o scotland_n by_o robert_n bryson_n and_o now_o reprint_v at_o london_n for_o g._n t._n 1642._o the_o lawfulness_n of_o our_o expedition_n into_o england_n manifest_v as_o from_o the_o begin_n till_o this_o time_n we_o have_v attempt_v nothing_o presumptuous_o in_o this_o great_a work_n of_o reformation_n but_o have_v procee_v upon_o good_a ground_n and_o have_v be_v l●d_v forward_o by_o the_o good_a hand_n of_o god_n so_o now_o from_o our_o own_o persuasion_n be_v we_o ready_a to_o answer_v every_o one_o that_o ask_v we_o a_o reason_n of_o this_o our_o present_a expedition_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a and_o most_o notable_a part_n of_o this_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n beseech_v all_o to_o lift_v up_o their_o m●nds_n above_o their_o own_o particular_n and_o without_o prejudice_n or_o partiality_n to_o lay_v to_o heart_n the_o consideration_n follow_v i._o as_o all_o man_n know_v and_o confess_v what_o be_v the_o great_a force_n of_o necessity_n and_o how_o it_o do_v justify_v action_n otherways_o unwarrantable_a so_o can_v it_o not_o be_v deny_v but_o we_o must_v either_o seek_v our_o peace_n in_o england_n at_o this_o time_n or_o lie_v unde_fw-la three_o heavy_a burden_n which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v fi●st_a we_o must_v maintain_v army_n on_o the_o border_n and_o all_o place_n near_a to_o hazard_v for_o the_o defence_n and_o preservation_n of_o our_o country_n which_o by_o our_o lay_v down_o of_o arm_n and_o disband_v of_o our_o force_n shall_v be_v quick_o overrun_v by_o hostile_a invasion_n and_o the_o incursion_n of_o our_o enemy_n second●y_o we_o shall_v want_v all_o trade_n by_o sea_n which_o will_v not_o only_o deprive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o many_o necessary_n but_o utter_o undo_v our_o burroughes_n merchant_n mariner_n and_o many_o other_o who_o live_v by_o fish_v and_o by_o commodity_n export_v and_o import_v and_o who_o particular_a calling_n be_v utter_o make_v void_a by_o want_n of_o commerce_n with_o other_o nation_n and_o sea-trade_n three_o the_o subject_n through_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n shall_v want_v administration_n of_o justice_n and_o although_o this_o time_n past_a the_o marvellous_a power_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v keep_v the_o kingdom_n in_o order_n and_o quietness_n without_o ordinary_a judicatory_n sit_v yet_o can_v this_o be_v expect_v for_o afterward_o but_o all_o shall_v turn_v to_o confusion_n any_o one_o of_o the_o three_o much_o more_o all_o of_o they_o put_v together_o threaten_v we_o with_o most_o certain_a ruin_n unless_o we_o speedy_o use_v the_o ten_o edy_n of_o this_o expedition_n and_o this_o we_o say_v not_o from_o fear_n but_o from_o feeling_n for_o we_o have_v already_o feel_v to_o our_o unspeakable_a prejudice_n what_o it_o be_v to_o maintain_v army_n what_o to_o want_v traffic_n what_o to_o want_v administration_n of_o justice_n and_o if_o the_o begin_n of_o those_o evil_n be_v so_o heavy_a what_o shall_v the_o the_o growth_n and_o long_a continuance_n of_o they_o prove_v unto_o we_o so_o miserable_a a_o be_v all_o man_n will_v judge_v to_o be_v worse_o than_o no_o be_v ii_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o nature_n and_o quality_n of_o this_o expedition_n it_o be_v defensive_a and_o so_o the_o more_o justificable_a for_o proof_n hereof_o let_v it_o be_v remember_v 1._o the_o king_n majesty_n mislead_v by_o the_o crafty_a and_o cruel_a faction_n of_o our_o adversary_n begin_v

which_o have_v spoil_v we_o of_o our_o ship_n and_o good_n man_n woman_n and_o child_n kill_v in_o edinburgh_n by_o his_o majesty_n force_n in_o the_o castle_n our_o enemy_n therefore_o the_o author_n and_o beginner_n of_o the_o war_n and_o we_o defender_n only_o 2._o we_o intend_v not_o the_o hurt_n of_o other_o but_o our_o own_o pe●ce_n and_o preservation_n neither_o be_v we_o to_o offer_v any_o

our_o own_o defence_n as_o our_o declaration_n bear_v 3._o we_o shall_v retire_v and_o lay_v down_o our_o arm_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o shall_v get_v a_o sure_a peace_n and_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v in_o our_o just_a demand_n upon_o which_o ground_n even_o some_o of_o those_o who_o will_v seem_v the_o great_a royalist_n hold_v the_o war_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o france_n against_o the_o king_n and_o the_o faction_n of_o the_o guisian_n to_o have_v be_v lawful_a defensive_a war_n because_o they_o be_v ever_o ready_a to_o disband_v and_o quiet_v themselves_o when_o they_o get_v assurance_n of_o peace_n and_o liberty_n of_o religion_n now_o this_o present_a expedition_n be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o defensive_a hence_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a but_o consonant_a to_o our_o former_a protestation_n information_n and_o remonstrance_n in_o all_o which_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n against_o defensive_a war_n in_o this_o cause_n but_o strong_a

war_n yet_o show_v plain_o that_o if_o we_o be_v either_o invade_v by_o sea_n or_o land_n we_o must_v do_v as_o a_o man_n th●t_o fight_v himself_o out_o of_o prison_n if_o a_o private_a man_n when_o

which_o have_v guide_v we_o hitherto_o in_o this_o great_a business_n we_o see_v the_o expedience_n of_o it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n for_o advance_v

they_o be_v harbour_v encouragement_n to_o achieve_v it_o from_o many_o passage_n of_o divine_a providence_n and_o namely_o from_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o last_o parliament_n of_o england_n their_o grievance_n and_o desire_n be_v so_o homogenecall_n and_o a_o kin_n to_o we_o we_o have_v labour_v in_o great_a long-suffering_a by_o supplication_n information_n commission_n and_o all_o other_o
