insist upon for the Interest of the Kingdom of England:
Which they hope they shall have perfected within Ten Days;
and shall, when they are perfected, impart the Particulars
thereof to the Commissioners of Scotland: That they shall
be ready to join with the Commissioners of the Kingdom
of Scotland, to insist on the same Things for the Peace and
Interest of that Kingdom, which were formerly propounded in behalf thereof, in the late Propositions of both Kingdoms: Or, if any Alterations in behalf of that Kingdom
be thought fit, the Houses desire, they may be prepared
and perfected within the Time afore mentioned, That so
no Time may be lost, for the joint sending of such Things
to the King, as shall be agreed on for the Interest and
Peace of the Kingdoms respectively."
