A Paper put in by the Commissioners of Scotland, concerning the last VOTES of the House of COMMONS.  
Right Honourable,  
WE are informed that by order from both Houses the King is secured in Caresbrook Castle, and We have seen some printed Votes of the House of Commons to this effect: That they will make no further addresses or applications to the King; That no applications or addresses be made to the King by any person whatsoever without the leave and approbation of the Houses: That all persons whatsoever which shall make breach of this Order, shall incur the penalty of high Treason: That they will receive no more any Messages from the King, and do enjoin that no person whatsoever presume to receive or bring any Message from the King to either or both Houses of Parliament, or to any other person. By which, as his majesty is deprived of all comforts of freedom; so it gives us occasion to ask, Whether it be intended, that it shall extend to his majesty's Subjects of Scotland, to debar such as are warranted by the Parliament of Scotland (or others having their authority) from free access to, or intercourse with the King; or that His majesty shall be hindered from (and so made incapable of) the exercise of any act of Government in relation to the affairs of that Kingdom: to the end we may be enabled from the Answer of the Houses to give an account upon our return to Scotland, of His majesty's condition, and the discharge of our trust to the Committee of Estates and Parliament there, which is to meet the sixth of March next; And waiting your speedy Answer, we rest  
Worcester-House, Jan. 6. 1648. Your humble Servants, 

LOWDOUN.  
LAUDERDALE.

For the Right Honourable the Speaker of the House of Peers pro tempore.
