Together with the Kings going to Parliament August 19. 1641. London , printed . 164● . THE EARLE OF ARGILE His Speech to the PARLIAMENT IN SCOTLAND . GEntlemen , and you the Burgesses of the House of COMMONS ; I am commanded by the Lords to let you know , that they have taken serious deliberation of the Propositions made by you the other day at a Conference concerning the Church-government in this Kingdom . First , I am commanded to put you in minde what have passed already upon this Occasion before in the maintenance of the Church-government of this Kingdom , wherein the House of Commons have shewed such great affections to the good of the Church and of the State therein for the maintenance of it . First , that the Church-government in both Kingdomes , is that which were so be vvished , but no alteration or innovation msust be of that vvhich is setled by the Lavves of each Kingdom , and enacted by them . Secondly , that the Government of the Church of England is setled and established by the Lawes and Statutes of the Kingdom to the uniting of a brotherly love and Government in both Kingdomes under his Majesties Dominion . Secondly , I am commanded to let you know their Lordships pleasure in this , or in any thing else that may conduce to the honour of Almighty God , the service of our King , and the good of our Kingdom , and will be very ready to give such assistance as you shall propound , or upon debate with them , thinke fit to advance the worke you were pleased to deliver unto them . And finding also that there have been , and having great cause to suspect that there still are , even during this present sitting in Parliament , endeavours to subvert the fundamentall Lawes of this Kingdom and of England , whereby they may introduce the exercise of a tyrannicall Government by most pernicious and wicked Counsels , Plots , and Conspiracies , that hath been taught against this Kingdom , and the Kingdom of England , with divers innovations and superstitions , that have been brought into this Church , multitudes driven out of his Majesties Dominions , with the great suppressing of them by the Bishops and their tyrannicall Government over the Church , and the good religious Ministers therein . And therefore because the Government of the Church doth remain as properly to proceed from you , as from us , therefore if you shall thinke fit that any thing else shall be propounded by you , that may be effected for the Government of the Church and Kingdom , or if you do not propound , their Lordships will then let you know their Propositions ; if you be not now provided to confer about it , we shall when you please debate the same , and give you such reasons for it , as you shall thinke fit of , to the honour and praise of God , and the good of our King and Kingdom . FINIS . The Kings arrivall in Edinborough , with the manner of his going to Parliament . THere was one appointed to go before him to make room , for the multitude came in throngs to see his Majestie , all crying , as he passed by them , in their owne language , God save King Charles , God save our King . Next to him which made room came our King , my Lord Humes going on his right hand , and my Lord of Argile on his left hand , the rest of the Nobility , and those which were of the Parliament-House , followed according to their degrees , but much ado they had to go to the House , the desire of the People was so great to see their Soveraigne . When they were come to the Parliament House , there stood a Noble-mans Son , who as yet goes to school , and saluted his Majesty with a Latine Oration , which he took most graciously , and thanked them all for their kindnesse , and good-will ; then they entered into the Parliament-House , and when they were seated , the Earle of Argile made a Speech unto him .
