The King's Commissioners Answer. 31. January.
[ XIX] VVE conceive our Power being to Treat upon the Propositions brought by the Earl of Denbigh and others, and those Propositions being sent from the Parlia∣ments of both Kingdoms, there need no mention of the Parliaments of both King∣doms in that place, but that our Power is ample to Treat with your Lordships upon the whole, both by express words, and by other general words in the Com∣mission, which give power to Treat upon those Propositions or any other; which general words are not observed by your Lordships in your Paper; and our Power is to Treat with the Lords and others authorized for the Estates of the Parliament of Scot∣land by name: yet since you insist upon it, it shall be altered by Tuesday next. And in the mean time (if your Lordships please) we desire* 1.1 the Papers promised yester∣day, in the Paper delivered by the Earl of Northumberland, may be delivered unto us, that there may be as little loss of time as may be.
