Unto which Message this Answer of the 27. of December was returned to His Majesty.

May it please Your most Excellent Majesty,

[ III] VVE Your Majesty's humble and Loyal Subjects of both Kingdoms have consi∣dered of Your Majesty's Message of the 13. of December 1644. sent by the Duke of Richmond and the Earl of Southampton, directed to the Lords and Com∣mons assembled in the Parliament of England at Westminster, and to the Commissioners of the Parliament of Scotland now at London, and do in all humbleness return this Answer:

That we do consent there be a Treaty for a safe and well-grounded Peace; but find that it will require some time to resolve concerning the Instructions and manner of that Treaty; and therefore, that Your Majesty might not be held in suspence touching our readiness to make use of any opportunity for attaining such a blessed and happy Peace in all Your Majesty's Dominions, we would not stay Your Majesty's Messengers till we did resolve upon all those particulars, which we will take into our serious consi∣deration, and present our humble desires to Your Majesty with all convenient speed.

Westminster the 20. of December, 1644.

Signed in the name and by war∣rant of the Commissioners of the Parliament of Scotland, Lowdon.

Gray of Wark, Speaker of the House of Peers pro tempore.
William Lenthal, Speaker, of the Commons House assembled in Parliament.
