We, for our selves, and in name and behalfe of the rest of the
Noblemen, Barons, Gentlemen, Burgesses, Ministers, and Commons within
this Realme of Scotland, subscribers of the Covenant, who are not
chosen Commissioners to the Generall Assemblie, but who will assist
and insist in this complaint with us, as faithfull Christians, as
loyall subjects, and sensible members of this Church and Common-weale,
having interest to pursue this popular action, in a speciall manner
and an eminent degree, by which pursuit God may bee glorified, Christs
Kingdome advanced, that the Church may bee restored to her privileges
and liberties, and freed from manifold scandals, from the corrupters
of Doctrine with Poperie and Arminianisme, of the Sacraments with
Superstition and Wilworship, and of the Discipline with tyrannie, and
from the overthrowers of the peace of this Church and Kingdome by their
usurpations and lies, their violent humours, and falsehood for their
owne worldly ends, may be tried and censured accordingly, and so this
Church and State made free from the present divisions and combustions,
and restored to peace and unitie, both with God and amongst themselves,
and that his Majesties religious disposition and honour may be cleared
to all the world, by the triall and censure of those men who have
fraudulently abused his Majesties name and authoritie by their trust
and credit with his Majestie: Wee most earnestly make request, That
whereas, by the Lawes of this Church and Kingdome, and by his Majesties
last Proclamation, all his Majesties subjects, whether Ecclesiasticall
or Civill, of whatsoever title or degree, if they have exercised an
unlimited or unwarrantable power, They are declared and ordained to
be liable to the triall and censure of the Generall Assemblie and
