THE LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONERS Of the Parliament of SCOTLAND TO THE Commissioners of both Houses , concerning His Majesties coming to the Scotish Army . Dated at Southwel the fifth of May . 1646. 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 . We 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 We 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 We thought nothing too dear to maintain it ; and We trust to walk with such faithfulnesse and truth in this particular , That as We have the testimony of a good Conscience within Our Selves , so You and all the World shall see , that We minde Your Interest with as much Integrity and Care as Our Own , being confident you will entertain no other Thoughts of Us .

Southwel , May 5. 1646. For the Right Honorable , the Commissioners of the Parliament of England . Signed by the Warrant and Command of the CommisLothian .
