A
DECLARATION
OF
THE
COMMANDER
in
Chief
of
the
Forces
in
SCOTLAND
,
And
of
the
OFFICERS
of
the
Army
under
his
Command
,
In
Vindication
of
the
Liberties
of
the
PEOPLE
,
and
the
Priviledges
of
PARLIAMENT
.
HAving
,
to
the
great
grief
of
our
hearts
,
been
informed
of
a
most
unhappy
difference
lately
fallen
out
betwixt
the
Parliament
and
some
Officers
of
the
Army
at
London
,
which
hath
occasioned
the
displacing
of
sundry
of
the
said
Officers
;
And
also
the
interruption
of
the
Members
of
Parliament
in
the
discharge
of
their
Duty
,
We
therefore
,
having
earnestly
besought
the
LORD
to
direct
us
in
this
great
and
weighty
Affair
,
wherein
the
Liberty
and
Peace
of
these
Nations
,
and
the
Interest
of
the
Godly
and
Faithfull
therein
is
so
nearly
concerned
,
do
finde
it
our
duty
to
Declare
,
and
we
do
hereby
Declare
,
That
we
shall
use
our
Christian
endeavours
to
the
utmost
for
the
begetting
of
a
Right
understanding
and
Reconciliation
betwixt
the
Parliament
and
the
said
Officers
of
the
Army
.
And
we
do
also
Declare
,
That
we
shall
,
through
the
strength
of
God
,
assert
and
maintain
the
Freedom
and
Priviledges
of
the
present
Parliament
,
the
so
often
,
and
lately
acknowledged
Supream
Authority
of
these
Nations
,
and
not
suffer
the
Members
thereof
to
be
illegally
interrupted
or
molested
in
the
discharge
of
their
Duties
;
And
we
do
solemnly
avow
to
all
the
world
,
that
our
only
intention
in
doing
this
,
is
to
preserve
the
Rights
of
our
Country
,
and
to
protect
and
encourage
all
the
Godly
and
Faithfull
therein
,
according
to
our
Declaration
to
the
Churches
,
lately
emitted
and
published
;
and
likewise
to
establish
the
Peace
of
these
Nations
,
and
the
Government
of
a
Free-State
or
Commonwealth
,
To
which
we
stand
obliged
by
several
Vows
and
Engagements
,
made
before
GOD
and
many
Witnesses
:
And
as
we
have
within
us
the
Testimony
of
sincere
hearts
and
unbyassed
consciences
to
encourage
us
in
these
our
Vndertakings
,
so
we
doubt
not
of
the
concurrent
assistance
of
all
the
unprejudiced
Faithfull
in
the
Land
,
for
whose
sakes
principally
we
are
drawn
forth
to
this
Engagement
.
And
we
therefore
invite
all
our
Brethren
of
the
Army
,
and
of
the
Militia
,
and
all
others
that
professe
love
to
GOD
and
His
People
,
and
to
their
own
and
their
Posterities
Liberties
,
to
come
and
give
us
their
chearful
aid
in
this
Work
,
whereunto
the
Lord
hath
called
us
,
lest
they
be
made
a
Prey
to
the
Lusts
of
Men
,
and
then
bewail
the
losse
of
this
opportunity
which
God
hath
put
into
their
hands
.
