For his Excellency the Lord Generall Cromwel.

The Declaration of the Commissioners of the Generall Assembly of Scotland, as followeth.

THe Commission of the Generall-Assembly considering, That there may be just ground of stumbling, from the Kings Majesties refusing to subscribe and emit the Declaration offered unto him by the Committee of Estates, and Commissioners of the Generall Assembly, concerning his former carriage, and Resolutions for the future, in reference to the Cause of God, and the enemies and friends thereof; Doth therefore Declare, That this Kirk and Kingdome do not owne nor espouse any Malignant Party, or Quarrell, or Interest, but that they fight meerly upon their former Grounds and Principles, and in defence of the Cause of God, and of the Kingdome, as they have done these twelve years past And therefore as they doe disclaime all the sin and guilt of the King and of his House; so they will not owne him, nor his Interest, otherwise then with a subordination to God, and so far as he ownes and prosecutes the cause of God, and disclaims his, and his Fathers opposition to the work of God, and to the Cove∣nant, and likewise all the enemies thereof. And that they will with convenient speed take in consideration the Papers lately sent unto them from Oliver Cromwel, and vindicate themselves from all the falshoods contained therein, especially in these things, wherein the quarrell betwixt us and that party is mis-stated, as if we owned the late Kings proceedings, and were resolved to prosecute and maintaine his present Majesties Interest, before and without acknowledgement of the sins of his house and former wayes, and satisfaction to Gods people in both Kingdomes.

West Kirk, 13. August, 1650.

13. August, 1650.

THe Committee of Estates having seen and considered a Declaration of the Commis∣sion of the Generall Assembly, anent the stating of the Quarrell, whereon the Army is to fight, Do approve the same, and heartily concur therein.
