<HEAD>THE
DECLARATION
and Engagement of the Marque&s;&s;e of
Huntley, the Earle of Atholl, Generall
Midletou, and many of the Nobility of
Scotland that have lately taken up Arms
for the defence of his MAIESTIE
Per&s;on and ju&s;t Authority.</HEAD>
<P>VVE <HI>Vnder &s;cribers,</HI> being touched with a deep &s;ence of the &s;ad
condition this our Native Kingdome of <HI>Scotland</HI> is in, by
a prevailing <HI>Army</HI> of <HI>Sectaries,</HI> who having murthered our
<HI>Soveraign</HI> the late KING, and overturned <HI>Religion,</HI> and <HI>Government</HI> in
our Neighbour Kingdomes of <HI>England</HI> and <HI>Ireland,</HI> have invaded this
<HI>Kingdome,</HI> and are in a way (having &s;o con&s;iderable a part thereof under
Foot) to reduce the whole to a <HI>Province,</HI> except the <HI>Lord</HI> in his mercy pre|vent
it, by joyning his MAIESTIES Subjects in the <HI>Band</HI> of <HI>Vnity,</HI> which
is the onely means (in our judgement) to pre&s;erve <HI>Religion, King</HI> and <HI>King|dome;</HI>
but to the grief of our hearts we find in the place of <HI>Vnion</HI> the breach
proving <HI>Wider,</HI> and that not only in <HI>Church</HI> and <HI>E&s;tate,</HI> but likewi&s;e in the
remnant of our <HI>Army:</HI> Our Re&s;olutions therefore are, firmly and faithfully
to joyn our &s;elves together, and neither for <HI>fear, threatning, allurement,</HI> nor
<HI>advantage</HI> to relinqui&s;h &s;o good a <HI>Cau&s;e,</HI> or lay down <HI>Armes</HI> without <HI>Gene|rall
Con&s;ent;</HI> And what &s;hall be done to the <HI>lea&s;t</HI> of us in pro&s;ecuting of the
&s;aid <HI>Vnion,</HI> &s;hall be taken as done to <HI>all.</HI> And &s;eeing the be&s;t undertakings
are under the mercy and favour of malice, we cannot but apprehend our
&s;elfes to be &s;ubject to that lawle&s;&s;e Inqui&s;ition; Therefore, and for the &s;a|tisfaction
of all who are &s;atisfiable, We do promi&s;e and &s;wear, that we &s;hall
maintain the true Religion as it is e&s;tabli&s;hed in <HI>Scotland,</HI> the <HI>Covenant,
League</HI> and <HI>Covenant,</HI> the <HI>Kings</HI> MAIESTIES <HI>Per&s;on, power, Greatne&s;&s;e,</HI>
and <HI>Authority,</HI> the <HI>Priviledges</HI> of <HI>Parliament,</HI> and <HI>Liberty</HI> of the <HI>Subject.</HI> So
help us <HI>God.</HI></P>
