A COPIE OF A LETTER OF the Kings , sent from the Parliament in Scotland , to the Lord Keeper ; Shewing the Reasons why he did not subscribe the Commission sent Him by both Houses .

THe first Reason was , for that the Treatie was fully determined between Vs and Scotland .

Secondly , It might cause a new matter of difference , and His longer stay in Scotland .

Thirdly , That the Scots were totally disbanded , and marched home .

Fourthly , That he had performed his promise to the Parliament in disbanding his forces , beginning with the horse first , which is not usuall .

A Copie of a Letter which came from Scotland , the first of September , 1641. to a Gentleman in London .

WOrthy Sir : I salute you with the joy which we do receive of the happie going on of this Parliament ; certifying you , that they received the report of the finall concluding of the peace with great joy , and that the Generall Thanks-giving will be observed by them on the seventh of September next .

There was great opposition against the Duke of Lenox and Marquis Hamiltons sitting in Parliament , untill they had sworn to the Covenant .

All their Army is come home , & disbanded , save onely five thousand foure hundred foot , & 500. horse , which remain in a body , and it is expected every day they shall be disbanded .

Mountresse his businesse , it is conceived , will be well composed , if he submit unto the Parliament , as it is expected . He petitioned the House with great submission , whereupon he was sent for , but his answers were so obscure in the main part , that it gave little satisfaction ; wherefore he was again sent to the Castle .

Sir Iohn Hey , and Sir Robert Spotwood , seemed to recant from their former confidence , yeilding themselves up to the Parliament for their triall .

Traquires Charge is drawn up , it containing five and twenty sheets of Paper close writ .

The King was feasted on Tuesday last , the 31. of August , by the Provost of Edinborough , in the Parliament House , with great triumph .

Master Hinderson is in great favour with the King , and stands next to his Chaire in Sermon time .

His Majestie doth heare two Sermons every Sunday , beside week-dayes Lectures ; but there is no service at all read , but onely a Psalme before Sermon .

The King hasteneth his preparation for England , which is expected will be very suddenly .

From Edinborough Sept. 1. 1641. Your friend R. C.
