against_o yet_o this_o be_v endure_v with_o much_o patience_n a_o long_a while_n till_o all_o hope_n of_o redress_n be_v lose_v and_o till_o that_o pack_v quorum_fw-la begin_v to_o raise_v new_a force_n whereby_o to_o oppress_v this_o kingdom_n and_o reinforce_v their_o wicked_a engagement_n against_a england_n for_o although_o they_o pretend_v in_o their_o declaration_n to_o the_o kingdom_n that_o their_o go_v into_o england_n be_v in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o preserve_v religion_n and_o keep_v the_o union_n between_o the_o kingdom_n yet_o they_o give_v then_o commission_n to_o such_o as_o have_v be_v eminent_o active_a in_o the_o rebellion_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o montrose_n which_o be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o express_v act_n of_o parliament_n but_o a_o design_n utter_o destructive_a to_o all_o the_o well-affected_a of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o the_o arm_n of_o their_o deadly_a enemy_n against_o they_o whereupon_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o look_v unto_o themselves_o and_o stand_v upon_o their_o lawful_a defence_n thus_o i_o have_v brief_o open_v what_o the_o high_a tyranny_n oppression_n and_o usurpation_n of_o power_n be_v in_o a_o few_o man_n of_o this_o kingdom_n above_o and_o against_o all_o law_n civil_a and_o natural_a which_o necessitate_a the_o honest_a party_n to_o betake_v themselves_o unto_o the_o just_a way_n of_o defence_n which_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n allow_v and_o the_o natural_a right_n of_o all_o man_n do_v provide_v for_o they_o in_o such_o case_n which_o how_o they_o make_v use_v of_o and_o how_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n have_v be_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o legal_a proceed_n i_o shall_v now_o add_v that_o as_o by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v you_o may_v see_v the_o disterence_n of_o authority_n and_o government_n which_o be_v between_o your_o parliament_n and_o our_o nine_o committee-man_n so_o by_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v you_o may_v also_o see_v the_o way_n of_o act_v which_o our_o well-affected_a party_n here_o do_v take_v and_o how_o far_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o way_n wherein_o your_o army_n have_v set_v itself_o to_o walk_v to_o this_o effect_n you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o stand_a law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n late_o confirm_v when_o the_o king_n be_v last_o with_o we_o in_o parliament_n have_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o public_a grievance_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o the_o extremity_n and_o otherwise_o fail_v which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n may_v meet_v together_o in_o case_n of_o eminent_a danger_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n and_o the_o public_a good_a of_o the_o church_fw-mi and_o state_n these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o when_o matter_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o pass_n that_o i_o have_v tell_v when_o many_o of_o the_o committee_n of_o estate_n be_v prisoner_n in_o england_n and_o some_o that_o be_v at_o home_n do_v abuse_v their_o power_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o union_n between_o the_o two_o kingdom_n the_o question_n be_v move_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o well-affected_a ought_v not_o to_o meet_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o their_o law_n and_o liberty_n see_v not_o only_o the_o law_n do_v allow_v they_o so_o to_o do_v in_o such_o like_a case_n of_o danger_n but_o beside_o natural_a right_n the_o nationall_n covenant_n do_v bind_v they_o express_o to_o assist_v each_o other_o in_o maintain_v and_o promote_a the_o end_n of_o their_o covenant_n against_o all_o let_n and_o impediment_n whatsoever_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o question_n be_v clear_a and_o easy_a and_o the_o practice_n of_o meeting_n in_o such_o occasion_n be_v ordinary_a in_o former_a time_n beside_o those_o of_o the_o nobility_n who_o have_v protest_v in_o parliament_n against_o the_o engagement_n the_o commissioner_n of_o divers_a shire_n and_o burrowes_n do_v meet_v also_o as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v in_o the_o like_a distress_n in_o the_o year_n 1637_o and_o 38_o and_o 39_o these_o nobleman_n and_o commissioner_n be_v thus_o meet_v and_o accompany_v with_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o the_o gentry_n and_o yeomanry_n go_v towards_o edinburgh_n the_o place_n unto_o which_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n and_o other_o of_o the_o committee_n of_o estate_n be_v summon_v to_o meet_v by_o a_o quorum_fw-la of_o the_o committee_n that_o be_v for_o the_o engagement_n these_o lord_n and_o commissioner_n therefore_o go_v as_o by_o the_o law_n they_o be_v allow_v and_o by_o their_o shire_n and_o burrough_n they_o be_v direct_v for_o redress_v of_o their_o grievance_n the_o gentry_n and_o yeomanry_n go_v as_o by_o their_o covenant_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o protect_v and_o defend_v with_o all_o their_o might_n their_o commissioner_n in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o case_n they_o shall_v be_v assault_v or_o wrong_v by_o those_o who_o be_v in_o arm_n against_o they_o and_o the_o nobleman_n go_v in_o obedience_n to_o a_o summons_n from_o the_o committee_n of_o estate_n whereof_o themselves_o be_v the_o principal_a member_n when_o these_o come_v to_o edinburgh_n at_o the_o day_n appoint_v the_o pack_v quorum_fw-la be_v conscious_a of_o their_o own_o guilt_n dare_v not_o stay_v for_o they_o but_o speedy_o remove_v themselves_o out_o of_o the_o way_n keep_v neither_o day_n nor_o place_n which_o themselves_o have_v appoint_v yet_o this_o be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o authority_n reside_v in_o the_o committee_n of_o estate_n appoint_v by_o parliament_n as_o if_o thereby_o it_o be_v dissolve_v because_o in_o this_o realm_n the_o power_n of_o act_v as_o a_o committee_n do_v not_o at_o any_o time_n depend_v upon_o the_o precise_a keep_n of_o appointment_n but_o only_o upon_o the_o full_a number_n of_o the_o quorum_fw-la

they_o only_o defend_v themselves_o against_o those_o that_o be_v in_o arm_n against_o they_o they_o come_v together_o to_o consult_v and_o redress_v matter_n out_o of_o course_n that_o the_o
