THE LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONERS Of the Parliament of SCOTLAND TO THE Commissioners of both Houses, concerning His majesty's coming to the Scotish Army.  
Dated at Southwel the fifth of May. 1646. Right honourable,  
THe discharging of ourselves of the duty we owe to the Kingdom of England, to You as Commissioners from the same, moves Us to acquaint You with the Kings coming into Our Army this Morning; which having overtaken Us unexpectedly, hath filled Us with amazement, and made Us like Men that dream. We cannot think that He could have been so unadvised in His Resolutions, to have cast Himself upon Us, without a real Intention to give full satisfaction to both Kingdoms in all their just and reasonable Demands in all those things that concern Religion and righteousness; whatsoever be His Disposition or Resolution, You may be assured, That we shall never entertain any thought, nor correspond with any purpose, nor countenance any Endeavours that may in any Circumstance encroach upon Our League and Covenant, or weaken the Union or Confidence between the Nations: That Union, unto Our Kingdom was the matter of many Prayers; and as nothing was more joyful to Us, then to have it set on foot, so hitherto have we thought nothing too dear to maintain it; and we trust to walk with such faithfulness and truth in this particular, That as we have the testimony of a good Conscience within ourselves, so You and all the world shall see, that we mind Your Interest with as much Integrity and Care as Our Own, being confident you will entertain no other Thoughts of Us.  
Southwel, May 5. 1646. For the Right honourable, the Commissioners of the Parliament of England. Signed by the Warrant and Command of the CommisLothian.
