<P>_FOra&s;much as the Kings mo&s;t Excellent <HI>Maje&s;ty,</HI> from His Princely Zeal and Fatherly Care of the wellfare and hap|pine&s;s of His Subjects (per&s;i&s;ting in the &s;ame pious and prudent re&s;olution of His Royal Grand-father, King <HI>James</HI> of ever ble&s;&s;ed me|mory, to endeavour a nearer and more compleat Vnion between His two Kingdoms of <HI>Scotland</HI> and <HI>England</HI>) Hath recommended it to the Parliaments of both Kingdoms, that Commi&s;sioners might be nominate to treat and con&s;ult concerning this Vnion, to the end, that His <HI>Maje&s;ties</HI> Royal and Gracious pur|po&s;es therein may be accompli&s;hed, and &s;uch a further Vnion may be treated and agreed upon, as may com|pleat and confirm for ever, a con&s;tant mutual love and friend&s;hip betwixt His Subjects of both Realms.</P>
<P>Therefore, His <HI>Maje&s;ty,</HI> with advice and con&s;ent of His E&s;tates of Parliament, doth hereby Statute, Ordain and Enact, That &s;uch Per&s;ons, or <HI>Quorum</HI> thereof, as &s;hall be nominated by His <HI>Maje&s;ty</HI> under His Great Seal of <HI>Scotland,</HI> are by vertue and autho|rity of this Act, Authorized, Commi&s;sionate and Im|powered, to meet and a&s;&s;emble at &s;uch times and in &s;uch places, as His <HI>Maje&s;ty</HI> &s;hall appoint; And there|on to treat and con&s;ult, according to the tenor of their Commi&s;sion and Authority in that behalf under the Great Seal, with the Commi&s;sioners authorized by Authority of the Parliament of <HI>England,</HI> of, and con|cerning &s;uch an Vnion of the Realms of <HI>Scotland</HI> and <HI>England,</HI> and of and concerning &s;uch other matters,

cau&s;es and things what&s;oever, as upon mature deli|beration, the greate&s;t part of the &s;aids Commi&s;sio|ners a&s;&s;embled, as &s;aid is, and the Commi&s;sioners authorized by the Parliament of <HI>England,</HI> according to the tenor and purport of the Commi&s;sion in that be|half, &s;hall in their Wi&s;doms think convenient and nece&s;&s;ary for the Honour of His <HI>Maje&s;ty,</HI> and the Well and Common-good of both Kingdoms during His <HI>Maje&s;ties</HI> Life, (which Almighty GOD make long and pro&s;perous) and of His Heirs and lawful Suc|ce&s;&s;ors for ever. Which Commi&s;sioners of both King|doms &s;hall, according to the tenor and purport of the Commi&s;sions in that behalf, reduce their Doings and Proceedings therein into Writings or In&s;truments tripartite, every part to be &s;ub&s;cribed and &s;ealed by them; To the end, that one part thereof may in all humblene&s;s be pre&s;ented to the Kings mo&s;t Excellent <HI>Maje&s;ty,</HI> another part thereof offered to the con&s;idera|tion of the Parliament of <HI>Scotland,</HI> and another part to be offered to the con&s;ideration of the Parliament of <HI>England.</HI> at their next Se&s;sions to be held in either Kingdoms <HI>re&s;pective,</HI> after &s;uch Writings or In&s;tru|ments &s;hall be &s;ub&s;cribed and &s;ealed by the &s;aids Com|mi&s;sioners; that thereupon &s;uch further proceedings may be had, as by His <HI>Maje&s;ty</HI> and both the &s;aids Par|liaments, &s;hall be thought fit and nece&s;&s;ary for the Well and Common-good of both the &s;aid Kingdoms; To whom the entire con&s;ideration of the whole, and the allowing or di&s;-allowing thereof, or any part thereof as they &s;hall think fit, is wholly re&s;erved. Likeas, His <HI>Maje&s;ty,</HI> with advice and con&s;ent fore&s;aid, doth hereby Statute and Declare, that no matter or thing to be propo&s;ed, treated of, or agreed by the &s;aid Commi&s;sioners, by vertue of this Act, &s;hall have any force or effect, or be put in execution, untill it be confirmed and e&s;tabli&s;hed by Act of the Parliament of <HI>Scotland.</HI></P>
