thought whereof the kingdome of Scotl. hath alwayes abhorred as may appear by all their proceedings and Declarations And the Houses of Parliament have upon severall occasions expressed a detestation thereof in their Declarations Wherefore we do expect that there shall be no proceeding against his person which cannot but continue and encrease the great distractions of these kingdomes and involve us in many difficulties miseries and confusions But that by the free Councells of both houses of the Parliament of England and with the advice and consent of the Parliament of Scotland which is now sitting such course may be taken in relation to him as may be for the good happines of these Kingdoms both having an unquestionable interest therein Your affectionat friends and Servants Signed Lothian Io.
