THE KING OF SCOTLAND HIS Propositions to his Subjects of that Nation ; and His Promise and Condescensions to the Desires of the PARLIAMENT . SIR , SInce the receipt of the intelligence from Ireland , of the fatall Blow there given to the Prince his Forces , the Court hath continually rung with sorrow , and his Highnesse is very sad and melancholy : Since which time , there hath been a great disputation held by his Privy Councell , whose result was , That new propositions should be sent to the Parl. of Scotland , viz. 1 That his declared Majesty would wive his assent , for the setling of Religion , according to the solemn League and Covenans . 2 That he would wholly apply his Ear to the Councell and Advice of the Estates conveened , provided , that respect might be had to the tender Consciences of those who have adhered to or assisted him . But this will hardly be ; for he must either become a perfect Covenanter , or else a despised Prince . Many of the Royall party have caused proclamation to be made for Charles the II , for the raising of Voluntiers , but few appears in that engagement , Hague 9. Augusti , 1649. The newes is confirmed from Dublin , Ormond hath paid dear for his bowzing , Taff , Preston , and he being met together , thought they could destroy the Parl-power , by drinking healths to their destruction , when it s in so many words a Bull , whereas Lieu. Gen. Jones came soberly upon them , and made them run several ways : It 's said , that in their hast they fell upon Ballyshanon , have taken it , and are rallyed , being about twelve thousand within twelve miles of Dublin and fallen to their old way of disputing passes : which when lost , they run to the next : they increase by the coming of forces to them , and say , if they recover not their reputation before Michaelmas , they shal not keep Ireland from a totall reducement within a year . The Scots-Resolution touching their King . First , that prevailing party of Sectaries of England , who have broken the Covenant , and despised the Oath of God , corrupted the truth , subverted the fundamentall Government , by King and Parliament , and taken away the life , look upon us with an evill eye , as upon those who stand in the way of their monstrous and new-fingled devices , in Religion and Government , and though there were no cause to fear any thing for that party , but the Gangrene and infection of those many damnable and abominable errors , which have taken hold on them , yet our vicinity unto and dayly to commerce with that nation , may justly make us afraid that the Lord may give up many in this land unto a spirit of delusion , to beleeve lyes , because they have not received the love of truth . Secondly , Neither is the Malignant party so far broken and brought low , as that they have abandoned all hopes of carrying on their former designes against the Covenant , and work of Reformation , besides many of them in this Kingdom who are as Foxes tyde in chaines , keeping in evill nature , and waiting opportunity to break their cords , and again to prey upon the Lords people . That the standing Armies in Ireland , under the command of the Marq. of Ormond , the Lord Inchiqueen , the Lord of Airds , and George Munroe , who forgetting the horrible cruelty that was exercised by the Irish and English Nations in that Land , have entred into a Peace and association with them , that they may the more easily carry on the old design of the Popish , Prelatical and Malignant party , and the Lord of Airds , and George Munroe , have by treachery and oppression , brought the Province of Ulster , and Garrisons therein , under their power and command , and have redacted our Country-men , and such as adhere unto the Covenant and cause of God in that Province unto many miseries and straits , and are like to banish the Ministers of the Gospell , and to overturn these fair beginnings of the worke of God , which were unto many a branch of hope , that the Lord meant to make Ireland a pleasant Land . Thirdly , But which is more grievous unto us then all these , our King notwithstanding of the Lords hand , against his fathers opposition to the work of God , and bearing down all those in the three Kingdomes , by which it is come to passe , that his Majesty hath hitherto refused to grant the just and necessary desires of this Kirk and Kingdom , which were tendred unto him from the Commissioners of both for securing of Religion , the liberties of the Subject , his Mai Government , and the peace of the Kingdom ; and it is much to be feared that those wicked Councellours may so far prevail upon him in his tender years , as to engage him in a War for ouerturning ( if it be possible ) of the Work of God , and bearing down all those in the three Kingdoms that adhere thereto , which if he shall do , cannot but bring great wrath from the Lord upon himself and his Throne , and must be the cause of many new and great miseries and calamities to these Lands . And albeit the Lands be involved in many difficulties and compassed about with great and imminent dangers ; yet ●here is hope and ground of consolation concerning this thing ; the Lord is in the midst of us , and we are called by his name , our ears hear the joyfull sound of the Gospell , add our eyes see our Teachers . We behold the arm of the Lord stretched out daily in working salvation for his people , and answering their desires upon their enemies , by terrible things in righteousnesse ; although we be few in number , yet the Lord of Hosts is with us , and in the power of his strength we shall be able to prevaile ; although our land be filled with sin , yet we have not been forsaken of the Lord our God , but he hath always had compassion upon us , and delivered us in all our distresse ; although some of understanding fal , it is bot to try , and to purge , and to make white even to the end , because it is yet for a time appointed although many cleave to us by flatteries , yet there be a remnant w●● keep their integrity , and the Lord shall do good to those that be good ; but such as turn aside to crooked ways , shall be led forth with the workers of iniquity . The Lords people in England and Ireland , who adhere to the cause and covenant , may be perplexed , but shall not despair , they may be persecuted but shall not be forsaken ; they may be cast down but shall not be destroyed ; and although uniformity and the work of Reformation in these hands seem not only to be retarded , but almost pluckt up by the roots , and the foundation thereof razed ; yet the seed which the Lord hath sowen there , shall again take root downward , and bear fruit upward , the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall perform this . A. KER . Right Honoured , SInce the late blow given to the Marq. of Ormond by Lieut. Gen. Jones , we hear that they are re-bodying about Kilkenny and Munster , and that in the said Engagement thirteen thousand of the Princes forces escaped , who are gathering together , and randezvouzing in severall places ; but the raising of the siege , and defeating that pote● power is joyfully rescented by many . We have received another express from thence , which intimates , that the D. of Lorraign hath landed 3000 horse in Ireland , and that a conjunction is designed by them with 7000 Scots under the Lord of Ards , 3000 Irish commanded by the Earle of Clanrickard , 7000 of the Spanish Faction commanded by Gen. Oneal , 1400 horse commanded by L. Incihiquin , and the 13000 of Ormonds that escaped at the last fight ; all which ( it is said ) intend a Randezvouz neer Kilkenny , who being bodyed , will make an Army of 30000 and upwards , and may probably much indanger our friends in Dublin , if a considerable supply be not speedily sent over to them . Bristol 12. August , 1649. Yesterday came news , as if Dredagh were re-taken or delivered up by the Lord M●or , that Sir Charles Coot since his relief by his Brethren hath been abroad , disputed several passes with the enemy , and set the Besiegers at a further distance . The Lord of Ards ( its said ) hath likewise fallen upon Ge●erall Oneal , and after a sharp Conflict , killed many , took divers prisoners , and scattered the rest . FINIS .
