"The King having so often desired to be heard; and
the Commissioners of Scotland so often pressing for
a Personal Treaty; and the Kingdom also long expecting to be freed of their great Pressures and Burdens by some speedy Settlement of the Government:
The Lords do desire, that the Two Houses may do
that which shall discharge their Duty, in respect of
the Safety both of Kingdom and Parliament, and yet
not refuse to hear the King in such Things as may
be subjected unto Debate: They therefore do propose, That, these Four Propositions herewith offered
unto you, which they conceive do most immediately
concern the Safety and Security of the Kingdom and
Parliament being put into Bills, the King may be
desired to give His Royal Assent unto them; which
being accordingly by them done, they do conceive
that the most satisfactory Way, and that which is
most likely to produce a speedy Settlement of our
present Distractions, will be for the Houses to admit
of a Treaty upon the rest of the Propositions."
