The King's Commissioners Paper. 15. Feb.

[ CXII] VVE desire to receive a perfect and full Answer from your Lordships to our* 1.1 first and * second Papers, delivered by us this morning to your Lordships, and whether your Lordships intend, that the Commissioners of Scotland shall have any Power and Authority in the settling of all Forces by Sea and Land in this Kingdom, and what Authority they shall have; and whether the Advice or Orders of the Estates of the Parliament of Scotland shall have any influence upon the affairs of this Kingdom, or the Commissioners to be named according to these Propo∣sitions, otherwise than as the said Advice or Orders shall be approved and confirmed by the two Houses of Parliament of England; and what Jurisdiction you intend the Com∣missioners shall have who are to determine all differences that may occasion the breach of the Articles of Peace; and by what Law or Rule they shall proceed, try and judge, in the hearing and determining the same. And it is most necessary for us to desire sa∣tisfaction from your Lordships to these particulars in writing, since the Answer we shall give to your Lordships upon so much of your Propositions, will very much depend

upon our clear understanding your Lordships in these particulars, it being agreed be∣tween us, that nothing shall be binding or taken as agreed upon, but what shall be in writing on either part.
