News from Scotland OR THE Result of the Generall Assembly OF THAT KINGDOME in Order to ENGLANDS PEACE But opposed by the Sub-Committee of that Kingdome called A Committee for the prevention of Danger Together with a relation of Master Marshals Deportment and the Reasons why he is not as yet permitted to Preach as also their high estimation of Mr Hearle a Minister to the English Commissioners at Edinburgh Sent from a Gentleman of Quality Residing at Edinburgh to his friend in London London Printed by J. M. News from Scotland OR THE Result of the General Assembly of that Kingdom Loving Friend I Cannot expresse my thankfulness to you for your kind respects especially in sending me these printed papers As for news here there is a great Meeting of the three Estates who have sit these three weeks began upon weighty and serious affairs and are not likely to conclude any thing til the Parliament sit down which begins the first day of March next Our Commission of the Church together with most of the Ministery have openly opposed the levying of an Army Notwit●standing there is ● Sub-Commi●●ee of the Estates called a Committee for dangers appointed to prepare things in the most fair and plausible way they can but because the said Sub-Committee inclines to have an Army there is great opposition to them by the godly and honest party who professe they have no quarrel against the Kingdom of ENGLAND and wil labor to interpose their Medium and best advice for removing of Jealousies and keeping of Union betwixt the Kingdoms Although there be a spirit of strong Mal●●nancy on the contrary yet we are 〈◊〉 God wil preserve the Kingdoms from blood and in his own time find a way how these Jars shal be removed The result whereof wil be seen in wisdom of this ensuing Parliament As for your Commissioners they are looked upon as very godly and faithful men especially by all those who walk by the rule and make conscience of their ways There were some of our best men both of the Estate and the Church who at first meeting with Mr. Marshal did look upon him as a bad instrument in these late distractions at London but he as a wise and godly man doth labor to vindicate himself from those aspersions and we hope before he return shal be as high in our thoughts as before Only he hath not as yet got the liberty of a Pu●pit to cle●● himself which ere long we are confident shal be granted unto him The other Minister Mr Errel Prolocutor of your Assembly who is likewise here is looked upon as an Angel and we hope wil be very instrumental for Union in spite of Malignancy Your Commissioners are not all come and therefore have not as yet received publick audience The Earl of Stamford and Mr Stapleton being as yet in Barwick are expected upon Saturday next There is much need of Prayer and Humiliation to prevent the Lords wrath which is gone out against both Kingdoms We had a Fast upon Sonday last for that purpose and all godly men ought very much to be on their knees to confess their own sins and the sins of the Land that the Lord may avert his Judgments from u● which is the prayer of Yours A. D. Edinburgh Feb. 23. 1648. Sir Whatever the Englishmens apprehensions are of the Scotch Nation I doubt not of a fair correspondencie between the two Nations though it is the hopes and expectations of many to see them jar and clash till they ruin each other Truely sir let me tell you though you and I be of different Nations and perhaps of different affections in order to the end pursued on both sides if things be won up on either side so as not to admit of a fair conclusion without blows we are in danger of Potent enemies in our own bowels but God in his mercy and goodness Reconcile both nations without blood I know not what absolutely to apprehend of our differences till I am acquainted with the Result of our Parliamentary consultations which I shal communicate to you by the next Post desiring the like from you I remain Your humble Servant A.
