THE DECLARATION and Engagement of the Marquesse of Huntley , the Earle of Atholl , Generall Midletou , and many of the Nobility of Scotland that have lately taken up Arms for the defence of his MAIESTIE Person and just Authority .

WE Vnder scribers , being touched with a deep sence of the sad condition this our Native Kingdome of Scotland is in , by a prevailing Army of Sectaries , who having murthered our Soveraign the late KING , and overturned Religion , and Government in our Neighbour Kingdomes of England and Ireland , have invaded this Kingdome , and are in a way ( having so considerable a part thereof under Foot ) to reduce the whole to a Province , except the Lord in his mercy prevent it , by joyning his MAIESTIES Subjects in the Band of Vnity , which is the onely means ( in our judgement ) to preserve Religion , King and Kingdome ; but to the grief of our hearts we find in the place of Vnion the breach proving Wider , and that not only in Church and Estate , but likewise in the remnant of our Army : Our Resolutions therefore are , firmly and faithfully to joyn our selves together , and neither for fear , threatning , allurement , nor advantage to relinquish so good a Cause , or lay down Armes without Generall Consent ; And what shall be done to the least of us in prosecuting of the said Vnion , shall be taken as done to all . And seeing the best undertakings are under the mercy and favour of malice , we cannot but apprehend our selfes to be subject to that lawlesse Inquisition ; Therefore , and for the satisfaction of all who are satisfiable , We do promise and swear , that we shall maintain the true Religion as it is established in Scotland , the Covenant , League and Covenant , the Kings MAIESTIES Person , power , Greatnesse , and Authority , the Priviledges of Parliament , and Liberty of the Subject . So help us God .

This Declaration and Engagement was Signed by the above nam'd Persons the 20. of October 1650. And was brought over by a Person of Reputation that came out of Scotland upon the 25. who assures that it was resolved His MAIESTIES Coronation should be a●St . Johnstons the 30. following ; and the Parliament at that time to begin and sit there also .
