Majesties three Kingdoms. And having also heard the Petition di∣rected from the Assembly to His Majestie, with their Answer to the Parliament of England, the Scots Commissioners of the Treaty at London, and certain Ministers of England concerning this matter. And finding the reasons therein ex∣press'd to be very pregnant, and the particular desired much to conduce for the glory of God, the advance∣ment of the true Christian Faith, His Majesties Honour, and the peace and union of His Dominions. The said Lords, out of their duty to the furtherance of so much wish∣ed and important a work, and affe∣ction to their Brethren of the Kingdom of England, Do unani∣mously
and heartily concur with the said Nationall Assembly, in their earnest desires to the Honora∣ble Houses of the Parliament of England, to take to their serious consideration the particulars afore∣said, touching Vnity in Religion, and Vniformity in Kirk-govern∣ment in the said three Kingdoms, as a singular mean of His Majesties Honour, the good of the true Chri∣stian Faith, and happinesse of His Majesties Dominions; And to give favourable hearing to such desires and overtures as shalbe found most conducible for the promoting of so great and good a work.
