THE SCOTS RESOLVTION DECLARED In a Message sent from the Privie-Councell of the Kingdome of Scotland to His MAJESTIE at YORK By the Earle of LOVVDEN and Chancellor of that Kingdome ALSO A NEW PLOT AGAINST HVLL LIKEVVISE AN ORDER OF THE LORDS and Commons in Parliament to the Sheriff of the County of Lancaster and all other Sheriffs and Lord-Lieutenants and Deputy Lieutenants in the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales IOHN BROWN Clerie Parliament May 30. LONDON Printed for ROBERT WOOD. 1642. A new Plot against Hull Or A new Designe to take Hull begun and prosecuted by a company of Factious spirits but most auspiciously prevented SInce his Majesties going downe to Yorke many troubles and discontents have molested that part of the Kingdome from which the Towne of Hull hath not been exempted Since the first and second attempt made against it there was lately a new Designe hatcht and set on foot to take the same whereby the malignant party may the better assert their purposes and bring to ruine the quiet estate of the whole Kingdome Now lately a new mischiefe was set on foot being begun by the encouragement and countenance of some factious and disquiet spirits This design was to have surprized the Towne to have taken possession thereof and have gained all into their owne possession but before they could accomplish their wicked purposes their intentions were discovered by which meanes they did desist from their purpose so that neither the Plot it self nor the Actors were brought to light but in good time the Town was secured and we hope the Actors or confederates will be found out EDENBURGH the 18. of May 1642. THE Lords of the Privie Councell of the Kingdome of Scotland in a frequent meeting having according to the importance of matters of so great waight and concernment maturely and at length considered the severall Declararations Messages Answers and Instructions sent unto them from his Mujesty As also what hath beene represented unto them in the Declaration sent from the Parliament of England doe finde themselves bound in duty to acknowledge that they esteeme it no small happinesse to receive true and full information from the Fountaine and not to be left to the middle and wandring streames of private mis-reports which are ready to mislead such as are apt to follow them from the right understanding of the Truth into the dangerous by-pathes of Iealousies and Errour the preventing whereof made the Kingdome in the time of their late Troubles so frequently to declare themselves and their intentions both to his Majesty and the Kingdome of England They doe also receive and imbrace with all humble respect and thankfulnesse from his Majesty the large and lively expressions of his Royall and Religious Resolution and care to maintaine and preserve the true Religion Liberties and Lawes of his Kingdomes together with right correspondencie betwixt them it being the true and onely foundation of greatnesse and glory to himselfe and his Posterity and of peace and happinesse to his People for which this whole Kingdome being straightly bound by their common Allegeance Naturall Obedience and Nationall Oath never to be forgotten will ever most willingly and readily spend their lives and Fortunes and what is dearest unto them They doe in like manner with reciprocall and Brotherly affection acknowledge the large testimony of the care and zeale of the Parliament of England to keep a right understanding betwixt the two Nations which both Par●iaments have obliged themselves by solemne Vowes and Protesta●ion by all good meanes to preserve against which no sinister information or mis-report shal ever make this Kingdome to fall into such mis-construction as may be a violation of their Vowe and Protestation made in Parliament But in the middest of their joy and gladnesse arising upon the Professions and Protestations both of King and parliament they cannot but professe the unfeigned griefe and great feares which they have conceived upon the misunderstanding and so long rising distractions betwixt his Majesty and the Parliament which unlesse they be speedily removed can bring forth no other fruits then the rejoycing and triumph of the common Enemies of our Religion and Peace and such a world of evils to his Majestie and his Dominions as they are loth to suffer themselves to thinke upon and chuse rather to wrap up in silence wishing that they may be made never more to appeare then to the encouragement of ill-affected persons and griefe of the soules of all good men to be expressed by words and therefore on the one part they are confident that the honourable Houses of Parliament in their great wisdome and affection will leave no faire and good meanes unattempted to induce his Majesty to returne unto them That there may be a better understanding betwixt him and his People and they honoured with his Royall power and strengthened by his Scepter and Authority and although they know that they now will nor should meddle with the publike actions of any other Kingdome then they are called interessed as fellow Subjects under one Head or Monarchy yet since the Honourable Houses of Parliament have thought meet to draw the practices of the Parliament of Scotland into Example in the point of Declaration thay are confident that the affection of the Parliament will leade them also to the practise of this Kingdome in composing the unhappie Differences betwixt his Majesty and them and so farre as may consist with the Religion Liberties and Lawes in giving his Majesty satisfaction especially in the tender care of His Royall Person and of His Princely Greatnesse and Authority which will be also the most powerfull meanes of setling the greatness and prosperity of that Kingdome upon the other 〈…〉 the deepe sence of His Majestes trouble and from the Love and Loyaltie of their hartes their humble desire is that his Maiesty may be pleased to hearken to the earnest desires and hearty Invitaion of His peoples intreating to his Parliament which as it is His greatest so it is his best and most unparalleld Counse●● that by the brightnes of His Maiesties presence and Countenance all the Clouds of former Iealousies and feares may be scattered and mutuall Confidenc may bee revived and His people satisfied as the onely meanes of Happinesse both of the King and Kingdome the resolution where upon this Kingdome will also in crease Our happinesse And since his Majesty hath been pleased to make knowne unto them his Resolution to goe into Ireland in person they are bold as his Maiesties loving Subiects and faithfull Counsellours to give their humble opinions that as thay doe with their hearts acknowlge his Majesties fatherly compassion of the sufferings of his good Subjects by the Rebellion there his princely endeavours in quickning all meanes that may serve for their reliefe and for the more speedy and powerfull suppression of the Rebels and deliverance of his people in offering to hazard his Royall person then which there can be no greater
