<HEAD>EIGHT ARTICLES OF THE Scots Demands.</HEAD>
<P N="1">IT is de&s;ired that it may be entred in this pre|&s;ent Parliament that no Scoti&s;h men, Scoti&s;h &s;hips, or Ve&s;&s;els, or pa&s;&s;engers belonging to the Kingdome of <HI>Scotland</HI> be pre&s;&s;ed by land or &s;ea, in any part of <HI>England</HI> or <HI>Ireland;</HI> Sea-ports or harbours thereof, &s;eeing the&s;e are free of any pre&s;&s;e by the Law and practice of our King|dome.</P>
<P N="2">2. For a better comerce and intercour&s;e betwixt the Kingdomes of <HI>Scotland, England,</HI> and <HI>Ireland;</HI> and that it may be now de|clar'd lawfull to tran&s;port all goods and com|modities from <HI>Scotland</HI> to <HI>England,</HI> or <HI>Ireland,</HI> or from thence to <HI>Scotland</HI> in the &s;ame ca&s;e, and as free from cu&s;tomes and all other Tax|ations what&s;oever, as if they were tran&s;|ported from one part of <HI>Scotland</HI> to another, or from one part or Port of <HI>England</HI> or <HI>Ireland</HI> to another with the&s;e declarations alwayes, that the
<PB N="2" REF="3">&s;aid mutual liberty in &s;o much as concerns goods prohibited by the Lawes of either of the King|domes to be tran&s;ported to forraigne Nations, &s;hall onely &s;erve for the inward u&s;e of the &s;aid three Kingdomes.</P>
<P>Alenially and the manner of the re&s;traint and puni&s;hment of the contraveners to be con&s;ider|ed upon.</P>
<P>And that all Natives and forraigne commodi|ties not prohibited in the Kingdomes from whence they tran&s;ported by the Scoti&s;h men as freely as by any of his Maje&s;ties &s;ubjects of <HI>Eng|land</HI> or <HI>Ireland,</HI> and &s;o reciprocally in <HI>Scotland</HI> by the Engli&s;h and Iri&s;h.</P>
<P N="3">3. That the Scoti&s;h &s;hippes comming from forraigne places, and arriving in any Roads, Ha|vens, or Ports of <HI>England</HI> or <HI>Ireland,</HI> through tempe&s;ts of weather, or for refre&s;hment, or up|on what&s;oever other occa&s;ions and not di&s;clo&s;ed, may be free to pa&s;&s;e and repa&s;&s;e without &s;earch|ing or any other impediment, and that if Sco|ti&s;h men &s;hall be leaden with moneys or what&s;o|ever forraigne Commodities in any forraigne part, or in any forraigne Bottome, or in any Engli&s;h or Iri&s;h Bortome; That it &s;hall be free to the Owners thereof and their Factors to un|load their moneys, goods, and commodities a|fore&s;aid, at any port of <HI>England</HI> or <HI>Ireland,</HI> and to tran&s;port the &s;ame from thence to <HI>Scotland</HI> without any impediment, to be made to them,
<PB N="3" REF="3">and the Engli&s;h and Iri&s;h to have the like liber|ty reciprocally in Scotland.</P>
<P N="4">4. If any Scoti&s;h &s;hippes or any other ve&s;&s;els loaden with Scoti&s;h mens goods, going or com|ming from any forraigne Nation pertaining to Scoti&s;h men, as afore&s;aid, &s;hall arrive in any part of <HI>England</HI> or <HI>Ireland</HI> and having nece&s;&s;ity to &s;ell a parcell of their &s;aid goods, that it &s;hall be law|full for them to doe the &s;ame, and to tran&s;port the remnant to <HI>Scotland,</HI> or el&s;ewhere, without payment of any Cu&s;tome, but for &s;o much as they &s;hall happen to &s;ell, and the Engli&s;h and I|ri&s;h to have the like liberty reciprocally in <HI>Scot|land.</HI></P>
<P N="5">5. In re&s;pect of the great detriment &s;u&s;tain|ed by his Maje&s;ties &s;ubjects, and by the <HI>Dunkirks</HI> and other Pirats, by robbing them of their goods, taking the &s;hippes and &s;poyling their men: That &s;ome &s;olid cour&s;e may be taken for the preven|ting the like in time to come; &s;o that his Ma|je&s;ties &s;ubjects may have free trade hereafter, and the Scoti&s;h &s;hippes pa&s;&s;ing to <HI>France, Holland,</HI> or any other part, may have a &s;afe convoy of his Maje&s;ties &s;hippes, as the Engli&s;h and Iri&s;h &s;hips have.</P>
<P N="6">6. There can be no greater marke of mutuall unity betwixt the Kingdomes, then a free and peaceable conver&s;ing at home and abroad, there|fore we crave from the Parliament of <HI>England,</HI> that where the Engli&s;h have any out trade or
<PB N="4" REF="4">dealing in forraigne places, that it may be free to Scoti&s;h men to out-trade and deale in the &s;ame places, without any impediment to be made to them by the Engli&s;h or Iri&s;h, and the Engli&s;h and Iri&s;h to have the like liberty in out trade or dealing of Scotti&s;hmen in forraigne places.</P>
<P N="7">7. That the Scots men be not debarred from being a&s;&s;ociated in companies within the King|domes of <HI>England</HI> and <HI>Ireland,</HI> upon &s;uch condi|tions as the Engli&s;h and Iri&s;h are admitted, and this to be reciprocally for <HI>England</HI> and <HI>Ireland</HI> in companies, and all a&s;&s;ociations in <HI>Scotland;</HI> and becau&s;e there is not &s;uch manufactories as yet ere|cted in <HI>Scotland</HI> as are nece&s;&s;ary, and that the trade of fi&s;hing (which is is one of the greate&s;t benefits in his Maje&s;ties Dominions) is not yet brought to perfection, it is fit that by mutuall concour&s;e of both Kingdomes &s;uch a cour&s;e may be taken, as may be&s;t bring the trade of manufactories, in <HI>Scotland</HI> and fi&s;hing within his Maje&s;ties &s;eas to perfection, and that Commi&s;&s;ioners may be di|rected by the King and Parliaments of the King|domes to treat upon &s;uch meanes and conditions as may &s;ub&s;i&s;t with the freedome and liberties, and may conduce be&s;t to the good and benefit of his Maje&s;ties Dominions.</P>
<P N="8">8. That the Hou&s;e of Parliament would be plea&s;ed to take into their con&s;iderations the ex|orbitant cu&s;tomes and texations and other rigo|gorous dealings, whereof the particulars are &s;et
<PB N="5" REF="4">downe in a note herewith, given in, taken and u&s;ed by the King of <HI>Denmarke</HI> both of the Scotti&s;h and Engli&s;h, and whereas his Maje&s;ties &s;ubjects have already felt the &s;mart thereof, that now &s;ome good cour&s;e may be taken for reducing the &s;aid exactions to &s;ome rea&s;onable knowne and con|&s;tant mea&s;ure, and for the liberty of his Maje&s;ties &s;ubjects from the like rigorous dealing in time to come.</P>
