And since it is apparent there hath been of late in England a backsliding and departure from the grounds and principles wherein the two Kingdoms were engaged , the Parliament of this Kingdom doth propound , that the late proceedings there against Covenant and Treaties may be disclaimed and disavowed , as the prosecution of the late unlawfull Engagement against England hath been disclaimed and disavowed here ; and that such as have departed from these principles , and their former professions , may return to the same : Upon which grounds they are content to ●uthorize Commissioners on behalf of this Kingdom , to treat with Commissioners from both Houses of the Parliament of England , sitting in freedom , concerning all matters of just complaint which either Nation may have against the other , and for redresse and reparation thereof , and to do every thing that may further conduce for continuing the happy peace and union betwixt the Kingdoms , which can never be setled upon so sure a foundation as the former Treaties , and the solemn League and Covenant : From which , as no alteration or revolution of Affairs can absolve either Kingdom ; so , we trust in God , that no success , whether good or bad , shall be able to divert us ; but as it hath been our care in time past , it shall be still our reall indeavour for the future to keep our selves free of all compliance with , or inclining to the Popish , Prelatical and Malignant party upon the one hand ; or to those that are enemies to the fundamentall Government by King and Parliament , and countenance and maintain Errour , Heresie , and Schism upon the other . keywords: a92575; commons; england; english; esquire; honourable; house; kingdom; late; lenthall; letter; parliament; scotland; speaker; text; thomason; william cache: A92575.xml plain text: A92575.txt item: #49 of 52 id: A96549 author: England and Wales.
