The second Head is concerning his Majesty's journey to Scotland.  
That his Majesty will be pleased to allow a convenient time before his journey into Scotland, that both Armies be first disbanded, and some of the business of importance, concerning the peace of the Kingdom depending in Parliament, may be dispatched before his going: This is seconded with divers reasons.

Both Houses to make suit to his Majesty, 

1. To remove from him all such Councillors as I am commanded to describe, viz. such as have been active for the time past, in furthering those courses contrary to Religion, liberty, good government of the Kingdom, and as have lately interessed themselves in those Counsels, to stir up division between him and his people.  
2. As we desire removal of those that are evil, so to take into his Council, for managing of the great affairs of this Kingdom, such Officers and Councillors as his People and Parliament may have just cause to confide in. This is all concerning the third Head.
