A
Paper
put
in
by
the
Commissioners
of
Scotland
,
concerning
the
last
VOTES
of
the
House
of
COMMONS
.
Right
Honourable
,
WE
are
informed
that
by
order
from
both
Houses
the
King
is
secured
in
Caresbrook
Castle
,
and
We
have
seen
some
printed
Votes
of
the
House
of
Commons
to
this
effect
:
That
they
will
make
no
further
addresses
or
applications
to
the
King
;
That
no
applications
or
addresses
be
made
to
the
King
by
any
person
whatsoever
without
the
leave
and
approbation
of
the
Houses
:
That
all
persons
whatsoever
which
shall
make
breach
of
this
Order
,
shall
incur
the
penalty
of
high
Treason
:
That
they
will
receive
no
more
any
Messages
from
the
King
,
and
do
injoyn
that
no
person
whatsoever
presume
to
receive
or
bring
any
Message
from
the
King
to
either
or
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
or
to
any
other
person
.
By
which
,
as
his
Majestie
is
deprived
of
all
comforts
of
freedom
;
so
it
gives
us
occasion
to
ask
,
Whether
it
be
intended
,
that
it
shall
extend
to
his
Majesties
Subjects
of
Scotland
,
to
debar
such
as
are
warranted
by
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
(
or
others
having
their
authority
)
from
free
accesse
to
,
or
intercourse
with
the
King
;
or
that
His
Majestie
shall
be
hindred
from
(
and
so
made
incapable
of
)
the
exercise
of
any
act
of
Government
in
relation
to
the
affairs
of
that
Kingdom
:
to
the
end
we
may
be
enabled
from
the
Answer
of
the
Houses
to
give
an
account
upon
our
return
to
Scotland
,
of
His
Majesties
condition
,
and
the
discharge
of
our
trust
to
the
Committee
of
Estates
and
Parliament
there
,
which
is
to
meet
the
sixth
of
March
next
;
And
waiting
your
speedy
Answer
,
we
rest
Worcester-House
,
Jan.
6.
1648.

humble
Servants
