CHARLES
R.
TRusty
and
well
beloved
,
VVe
greet
you
well
:
By
the
Letter
you
sent
to
Us
,
with
this
bearer
,
Mr.
James
Sharp
,
and
by
the
account
he
gave
of
the
State
of
Our
Church
there
,
VVe
have
received
full
Information
of
your
sense
of
Our
Sufferings
,
and
of
your
constant
Affection
and
Loyalty
to
Our
Person
and
Authority
.
And
therefore
We
will
detain
him
here
no
longer
,
(
of
whose
good
services
We
are
very
sensible
)
nor
will
We
delay
to
let
you
know
by
him
Our
gracious
acceptance
of
your
Address
,
and
how
well
We
are
satisfied
with
your
carriages
,
and
with
the
generality
of
the
Ministers
of
Scotland
,
in
this
time
of
triall
,
whilest
some
,
under
specious
pretences
,
swerved
from
that
Duty
and
Allegiance
they
owe
to
Us
.
And
because
such
,
who
,
by
the
countenance
of
Usurpers
,
have
disturbed
the
Peace
of
that
Our
Church
,
may
also
labour
to
create
Jealousies
in
the
mindes
of
well
meaning
people
;
VVe
have
thought
fit
by
This
,
to
assure
you
,
that
,
by
the
grace
of
God
,
VVe
do
resolve
to
discountenance
Profanity
,
and
all
Contemners
and
Opposers
of
the
Ordinances
of
the
GOSPEL
.
VVe
do
also
resolve
to
Protect
and
Preserve
the
Government
of
the
Church
of
Scotland
,
as
it
is
settled
by
Law
,
without
violation
;
and
to
countenance
,
in
the
due
exercise
of
their
Functions
,
all
such
Ministers
who
shall
behave
themselves
dutifully
and
peaceably
,
as
becomes
men
of
their
Calling
.
VVe
will
also
take
care
,
that
the
Authority
and
Acts
of
the
Generall
Assembly
at
St.
Andrews
and
Dundee
,
in
the
year
,
1651.
be
owned
and
stand
in
force
,
untill
VVe
shall
call
another
Generall
Assembly
(
which
VVe
purpose
to
do
assoon
as
Our
Affairs
will
permit
)
And
VVe
do
intend
to
send
for
Mr.
Robert
Dowglasse
,
and
some
other
Ministers
,
that
VVe
may
speak
with
them
in
what
may
further
concern
the
Affairs
of
that
Church
.
And
as
VVe
are
very
well
satisfied
with
your
resolution
not
to
meddle
without
your
Sphere
;
So
VVe
do
expect
,
that
Church-judicatories
in
Scotland
,
and
Ministers
there
,
will
keep
within
the
compasse
of
their
Station
,
meddling
only
with
matters
Ecclesiastick
,
and
promoting
Our
Authority
and
Interest
with
Our
Subjects
against
all
Opposers
;
And
that
they
will
take
speciall
notice
of
all
such
,
who
,
by
preaching
〈◊〉
private
Conventicles
,
or
any
other
way
,
transgresse
the
limits
of
their
Calling
,
by
endeavouring
to
corrupt
the
people
,
or
sow
seeds
of
disaffection
to
Us
,
or
Our
Government
.
This
you
shall
make
known
to
the
severall
Presbyteries
within
that
Our
Kingdom
:
And
as
We
do
give
assurance
of
Our
favour
and
encouragment
●o
you
,
and
to
all
honest
deserving
Ministers
there
;
So
We
earnestly
recommend
it
to
you
all
,
that
you
be
earnes
in
your
Prayers
,
publick
and
privat
,
to
Almighty
God
,
who
is
Our
Rock
and
Our
Deliverer
,
both
for
Us
and
for
Our
Government
,
That
We
may
have
fresh
and
constant
supplies
of
his
Grace
,
and
the
right
improvement
of
all
his
Mercies
and
Deliverances
,
To
the
honour
of
his
great
Name
,
and
the
peace
,
safety
and
benefit
of
all
Our
Kingdoms
.
And
so
We
bid
you
heartily
farewell
.
