<P><HI>_CHARLES</HI> by the grace of GOD, King of <HI>Scotland, England, France</HI> and <HI>Ireland,</HI> Defender of the Faith, To all, and &s;undry, whom the&s;e do, or may concern, greeting. The confu&s;ions and troubles, by which Our good Subjects of this Our ancient Kingdom of <HI>Scotland,</HI> have the&s;e late years been deprived of that Peace and Happine&s;s, they ju&s;tly might have expected, in the admini&s;tration of Our Royal Government among them; being now by the &s;pecial ble&s;sing of Almighty GOD, happily re|moved: We have thought fit to let them know, That We &s;till retain the &s;ame tenderne&s;s and good affection towards them: And as We will chearfully interpo&s;e Our Authority, in what may be for their good and welfare, and for &s;ecuring the ju&s;t Priviledges and Liberties of Our People; So We do expect from them, tho&s;e dutifull returns of Obedience and Subjection to Our Per&s;on and Authority, which are &s;uteable to their obligations and the duty of Loyal Subjects. And, conceiving that a Parliament, in its right con&s;titution, will, at this time, be a ready mean for e&s;tablishing a firm Peace to Our People, and for &s;ettling all Religious and Civill, all publick and private Intere&s;ts. We have therefore thought fit to call a Meeting of Our E&s;tates of Parliament, to be kept at <HI>Edinburgh</HI> upon the twelfth day of <HI>December,</HI> next to come. Our will is herefore, and We charge and command Our Heraulds, Pur&s;evants and Me&s;&s;engers of Armes, to pa&s;&s;e and make publication hereof at the Mercat Cro&s;&s;es of Our Royal Burroughs; And in Our Name and Authority, to warne all Our Nobility by them&s;elves, and the Heritors of Shires (according as after publication hereof, they &s;hall receive adverti&s;ement fra the per&s;ons contained in the Li&s;t hereunto &s;ubjoyned) and Our Royall Burroughs to meet; and according to the Laws of Our Kingdom, to make choice of fit per&s;ons to be their Commi&s;sioners to this en&s;uing Parliament; and that Our Nobility, Commi&s;sioners of Shires and Burroughs, and all others having intere&s;t, do preci&s;ly keep this Meeting of Our Parliament, under the paines pre&s;cribed by Our Laws thereanent.</P>
