THE LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONERS Of the Parliament of SCOTLAND TO THE Commissioners of both Houses, concerning His Majesties coming to the Scotish Army.

Right Honorable,

THe discharging of our Selves of the duty we owe to the Kingdom of England, to You as Com­missioners from the same, moves Us to acquaint You with the Kings coming into Our Army this Morning; which having overtaken Us unexpectedly, hath filled Us with amazement, and made Us like Men that dream. VVe can­not think that He could have been so unadvised in His Resoluti­ons, to have cast Himself upon Us, without a real Intention to give full satisfaction to both Kingdoms in all their just and reason­able Demands in all those things that concern Religion and Righ­teousnesse; whatsoever be His Disposition or Resolution, You may be assured, That VVe shall never entertain any thought, nor correspond with any purpose, nor countenance any Endeavours that may in any Circumstance incroach upon Our League and Covenant, or weaken the Union or Confidence between the Nations: That Union, unto Our Kingdom was the matter of many Prayers; and as nothing was more joyful to Us, then to have it set on foot, so hitherto have VVe thought nothing too dear to maintain it; and VVe trust to walk with such faithfulnesse and truth in this particular, That as VVe have the testimony of a good Conscience within Our Selves, so You and all the VVorld shall see, that VVe minde Your Interest with as much Integrity and Care as Our Own, being confident you will entertain no other Thoughts of Us.

For the Right Honorable, the Commissioners of the Parliament of England.
Signed by the Warrant and Command of the CommisLothian.
