And the Petition of the Noblemen , Gentlemen , Ministers , &c. of Scotland , to the Lords of the Privy Councell . THE Lords and Commons in Parliament , have perused a printed Paper under the title , A Letter sent from the Kings Majesty to the Lords of the privy Counsell of the Kingdome of Scotland ; bearing in the front the appearance of his Majesties usuall Signature , and in the bottome this Date . Given at ou● Court of Yorke the 20 ▪ of May . 1642. As likewise another paper in the forme of a Petition with this inscription , To the Right Honorable the Lords of his Majesties Privy Counsell . The humble Petition of many Noblemen , Gentlemen , Burgesses , and Ministers occasionably meeting at Edenbrough , and having bin credibly informed , that they are true Copies of a Letter and a Petition sent and delivered as the severall Titles import . Vpon mature consideration of the matter therein contained , doe declare , and protest ; That those sufferings expressed in the Papers betwixt his Majesty , and Parliament , cannot justly be imputed to any actions , or intentions of ours , who have endeavoured with all fidelity , to procure the happinesse of his Majesty , and of this Kingdome ; And that we are not guilty of laying upon the King , any such calumnies , and aspertions , as are mentioned in that Paper , and seeme to reflect upon us ; But on the contrary have laboured to take the blame from his Majesty , and to lay it upon his evill Councell . And as touching the Petition aforementioned , wee doe with much contentment , and thankfulnesse , observe the faithfulnesse , and good affection of our Brethren of Scotland , in seeking to prevent all Iealousies , and to preserue the peace betwixt the two Nations , so truly expressed to the Lords of the Councell ; whereby the hopes of those , who practised to have drawn from their Lordships some Declaration to the prejudice of this Kingdome , were frustrated . And we shall never cease to answer this great care of theirs , with the like earnest and dilligent endeavours , to promote the honor , wealth , and prosperity of that Nation , and preserve that Union so strongly fortefyed , by publike and mutuall interest , and affection on both sides ; And wee desire that the Commissioners may give notice to the Scottish Commissioners how heartily , and joyfully wee doe imbrace the kindnesse of that Kingdome , manifested in that Petition , and Order this Declaration to be forthwith printed ; That so it may be published to the whole Kingdome of Scotland , hoping that this constant , and Inviolable amity betwixt us , will not onely conduce to the safety , and honour of both Kingdomes , but prove very usefull for the advantage , and security of the Protestant Religion in other parts .
