THE Scottish Determination and loyalty.  
THe Scots, whose Actions are not onely weighed with Fidelity, but also Maturity of Consideration, have now declared the absolute, and perfect Estate of the whole kingdom of SCOTLAND.  
It is not unknown what unhappy Warres have been lately fomented between us; but if wee scrutably search into the Causes, the Effects will not seem so strange or wonderful: for what they did was onely a maintenance and preservation of their Religion( more de●re and precious to them then their lives) of their Liberties and just propriety. For Canterbury in his time did tiranni●e most extremely over them, and ●ould have( as his Intentions were bended) trampled over their Co●scien●●s, urging upon them Matters in Religion not onely superstitious and profane in themselves, but also tending highly to the nourishment and advancement of Popery, and Ro●ish Innovations.  
After his wicked and egregious mind had compassed that resolution, and he had forced such illegal, or rather irreligious points and superstitions on them they could not in discharging their clear consciences do otherwise, then immediately stand in defen● of their Religion, and liberties, from any unjust violation; so that they then armed themselves and resolved to come to England for Iustice.  
But it pleased GOD to call a wise, and prudent Parliament together, who suddenly composed that Variance, and reconciled in two kingdoms engaged in war, man absolute Contract of Pacification, as well for the time then present as also for the future.  
And ever since that time there hath been a general Peace concluded on, and not the least motion or suspicion of any Civill discord to arise again till of late: for the King and the Parliament have been at such extreme difference, and alienation of affection or confidence in each other, that not onely fears and jealousies, distractions and distempers, but also imminent danger have been greatly suspected to approach. For besides their Declarations, and Remonstrances Messages, and Re●●nes, so often and frequently interceding, it is justly to be seared, that they will grow to more then verbal Contestations. For it most perspicuously appears, that the King seduced by wicked council intends to make war against his high Court of judicature; witness his private Warrants in divers Counties to hire, and provide Souldiers for his majesties service, witness his going to Hull in a way of hostility; witness also his public Warrants, and Commerce in Holla●●, where he pawned not onely divers pearls and precious jewels; but also the rarest gems in the crown formerly invested, only to maintain this pretended and intended war; so many pistols, Horse, horsemen, and Powdet being also provided for the same purpose, to be conducted and sent over to his majesties Service aforesaid.  
The SCOTS therefore understanding most apparently all these several particulars, herein included, and more were resolved to take the most just and equitable case: And they conceived that divers malignant Persons did usually meet at Edinburgh, such onely, or especially, whom the PARLIAMENT have known Incendiaries, Plotters, and enemies to the State, and Peace of the kingdom, they had just occasion to suspect some evil design then hatching and in agitation.  
But withall, as soon as they saw their frequent Convocation, and then usually bringing some part of Ammanition, and prov●sion of arms with them, they immediately concluded that those factious and malignant Spirits intended to side with the King against his PARLIAMENT, Wherefore they stopped some, others they apprehended: and some they committed to safe custody, accordingly as they answered at their Examinations before a Magistrate. For they conceive, that if they should permit those Seditions and Discords, they may at length aspire to that ascent of malignity, wherein they raising a Faction here also may engage both these kingdoms in another unhappy war.  
They will do nothing that shall offend either King, or Parliament, but of the two, they will comply with the justest cause. The King hath sent a Commmission thither for the raising of Forces, and arms to attend his majesty, but the SCOTS would not condescend to the execution thereof, until they had received directions, and intelligence f●●● the PARLIAMENT, least they should any way●…gresse in their willingness to His majesty, for indifferent and several Commands, a conformity of obedience is very difficult.  
His majesty hath also sent divers Letters to the Lord Maior of edinburgh, intimating that he commanded him to assist his majesty with Forces of arms, whensoever occasion or necessity shall require.  
But the SCOTS whose known fidelity will not transcend the limits of Iustice, will not perform any thing, that may bee either preiudicall to his sacred majesty, iniuri●us to the PARLIAMENT, or disadvantageous to the prosperous peace, happiness and security of this whole kingdom.
