Message from the King, with the following Letter.
After this, the Lord Chancellor acquainted the
House, "That His Majesty hath commanded him to
communicate to their Lordships a Letter sent to Him
from His Parliament in Scotland, subscribed with their
Names." Which this House caused to be read, as followeth; (videlicet,)
Letter from the Parliament of Scotland to the King.
"For the King's Most Sacred and Excellent
Majestie.
"Most Sacred Soveraigne,
"The many and great Blessings which this Your
Majestie's ancient Kingdome does now enjoy under
the Administration of Your Royall Authority, and
the Deliverance they have thereby from the Miseries,
Bondage, and Tyranny of those Twenty Yeares Troubles, have soe ravished the Spirits of all Your good
Subjects with Joy and Admiration, that, in a Sence
of their by-past Faylings and present Duties, we are
oblidged, in Discharge of our Consciences and Trust,
to assure Your Majesty, that this Kingdome doth conceive it their Happynesse, above other Nations, to
live under the Government and Protection of soe religious, soe wise, and soe gratious a Prince; and will
be zealous that the Returnes of their Duty and Allegeance shall be suitable thereunto; being ready at
all Occasions to hazard their Lives and Fortunes in the
Maintenance of Your Majestie's Authority and Government in its present Constitution, and in every
other Thing that may concerne Your Majestie's Royall
Power, Prerogative, and Greatnesse, by which alone
the Liberties, Freedome, and just Interest of Your
People, can be secured.
"And since Your Majesty hath ben pleased to declare Your Gratious Acceptance of our weake but
faithfull Endeavours, which we are oblidged unto in
Discharg of that Duty we owe to God and to Your
Majestie, and for vindicating the Honor and Justice
of that glourious Martyr Your Royall Father, and our
Native and Dread Soveraigne, of Blessed Memory; we
are thereby encouraged, as Your Great Councell, to
represent to Your Majestie, That we conceive it necessary for your owne Honor, and for the Advancement of Your Service, and for securing a firme and
lasting Peace to Your People, that Two Hundred
Horse and some Foote, for the necessary Garrisons,
be kept in Pay; and that, besides these, there be a
Militia of some Troopes setled upon considing Persons in the severall Counties of the Kingdome. And it
is our humble Desire, That, for the further endearing the Affections of Your People, and for compleating of their Happynesse by Your Confidence in them,
Your Majestie may be pleased to order that all the
Forces to be made Use of within this Kingdome may
consist of Natives; and that all others may be removed.
"And because many of our late Troubles were occasion'd either by the too much Countenance given
to disaffected Persons, who imployed the Royall Favours and Crowne Revenues bestowed upon them for
keeping up of those Troubles, or by the Unstraightnes of some Publique Ministers; we are confident,
Your Majestie will have speciall Regard, in the dispencing of Favours and Trusts, to such as have ben
and are faithfull to the Royall Interest; which will be
of great Satisfaction to the Generality and Body of
this Kingdome, who are soe loyall and affectionate to
Your Majestie's Interest, as there is no Reason ether
to seare or slatter any who are otherwise disposed.
"And, that Your Majesty may have the more full
Accompt of our Actings, and of the Condition of
this Kingdome and Your Affaires in it, we have, with
the Allowance of Your Comissioner (whose Loyalty,
Prudence, and Faithfullnes, in this his Trust, and in
a more full and loyall Asserting of the Royall Power
then in any Age formerly, doth much more above
what we are able recomende him to Your Majestie's
speciall Favour), made Choice of the Earle of Glencarne Your Chancellor, and the Earle of Rothes President of Your Councell, who have ben eminently instrumentall in Your Service here, to waite upon Your
Majesty; and doe humbly recomende them and their
Employment to Your favourable Acceptance; expecting such a Gratious Returne, as may be an Establishment to Your Majestie's Authority and Service,
and an Encouragement to all honest Men, and among
them to
Edenburgh, the 21 Aprill, 1661.
"Your Majestie's
"Most humble, most faithfull,
"Most obedient,
"Subjects and Servants,
"The Estates of Your Parliament
of Scotland."
The King desires Money may be provided for disbanding the English Forces there.
Then the Lord Chancellor declared, "The Reason
why His Majesty communicated this Letter to their
Lordships was upon this Ground, that that Part of
the English Army there which is not disbanded are
to be in Pay no longer than the latter End of this
Month; and that there is in Arrears to them Thirty
Thousand Pounds."
Hereupon it is ORDERED, That the further Debate
of this Letter shall be resumed on Friday Morning next.
And touching the Arrears; it is ORDERED, That a Conference be had presently with the House of Commons;
and to desire them, that, in regard of the Shortness of
Time, they would think of some speedy Course to pay
the same.
