A Letter from the Parliament of Scotland to the Parlia∣ment of England.
Right Honorable,
THe Parliament of Scotland now assembled, being resolved by all fair and just means to endeavor the preserving and enter∣taining the Brotherly Union and good correspondency betwixt the kingdoms; to which by so many bonds and tyes they are mutually obliged: Yet being very sensible that the many just and necessary Desires given in by their Commissioners by order from this kingdom, for the good of Religion, of His Majesty, and for the Interests of Scotland, have not received a satisfactory An∣swer; and considering the many great and imminent dangers threatning Religion, His Majesties Person and Authority, yea, Monarchical Government it self, and the Peace and Union of these two kingdoms of Scotland and England, by the power and prevalency of Sectaries and their Adherents, Have thought fit to make these just and necessary Demands to the Honorable Houses of the Parliament of England, to which the Parliament desires a clear and satisfactory Answer, not having the least thought or intention to encroach upon the National Rights of the king∣dom of England, nor to intrench upon the Priviledges of Par∣liament; But their Zeal to the Glory of God, their Loyalty to their King, and their desire of Unity betwixt the kingdoms, hath moved them to make these inclosed Demands, whereby Religion may be setled according to the Covenant, His Majesty may enjoy His Freedom and Just Rights; And so by setling a Religious and safe Peace, the present Confusions and Distempers may be removed, and all occasions of Mistakes and Differences betwixt the two kingdoms prevented. This is all I have in com∣mand from the Parliament; In whose Name this is subscribed by
Edenburgh, 26 April, 1648.
Your Lordships affectionate Friend and humble Servant, Loudoun Canc' President of the Parliament.
