 T fhouldbeunto us no (mail matter of 
 grief,that the Lord having done Co great 
 things for us, and by his marvellous and 
 merciful! providence, having according 
 to our defires fetled the truth of. Reli- 
 gion , with Peace and Lihertie with- 
 in this Kingdome , while other Kirks 
 and Kingdomes about us are in fo great trouble. 
 The Work of .GOD fhould be fo little regarded, and 
 the fpirit of Errour and Herefie, of Schifme and Divifion, 
 and of Atheifme and Profanity, (liould appear again, ^nd" 
 be hearkened unto by any amongft us : yet fhould wee 
 think it to be no ftrange or new thing , that Satan rage to 
 be caft out of his Kingdome.that Herefies, Se&s and Pro- 
 fanity,which mtsft be, and have eyerleffe or more infefted 
 the Kirk ofChrift,{hewthemfelves,andftt up their heads 
 amongft us in this fpring-time of Reformation, efpecially 
 they being fomented by that influence which the prefent 
 troubles of our neighbouring Kirks and Kingdomes have 
 upon this Kirk and Kingdome. 
 
 It is time for all the People of God, and after a fpeciall 
 manner for us whoare the Minifters of the Gofpel , feri- 
 oufly to fet our felves to the performance of the dutie re- 
 quired of us, and in all vigilancie and faithfulnefle to ufe 
 the beft meanes for preferving the rich Treafure commit- 
 ted to us,for tranfmitting it without mixture, fchifme, or 
 pollution to the pofteritie, and fo far as in us lyeth,to pro- 
 pagate the fame to other Nations , which the Supreme 
 providence is preparing and making meet to receive to 
 great an happinefle, 
 
 A % Firft 
 
v J 
 
 Firft of all we have to take heed to our felves, that out* 
 
 hearts be right and fincere in the fight of God , and that 
 none of us be in the gall of bitternefle 5 or in the bond of 
 iniqukie,againft the Work of Reformation^ againft any 
 Article of that Covenant,which we have before God and 
 the world fo folemnly fworn and fubfcribed : for if our 
 own confcience condemne us , we will deale but tieache- 
 roufly with the adverfary in the caufe of God* 
 
 Secondly , we are to lookxo the enemies of Rel igion, 
 which are of three forts : Papifts, Separatifts, and malig- 
 nant,male-content,and profane Time-fervers. 
 
 Concerning Papifts : as weare encouraged by the Ci- 
 vill power and authoritie,which will fee the Lawes execu- 
 ted againft them,when it cometh to their part-, fo have w r e 
 a particular and full direction in the late and former Gene- 
 rail Aifemblies,for our proceeding againft them,ancl muft 
 be anfwerable for our diligence to the next GenerallAf- 
 fembly •, and therefore our care muft be to follow forth 
 the AcSs of the AfTemblies in all points : But with anin- 
 tention,not fo much to be rid of their perfons for our eafe, 
 as to deliver them from their errour for their own faivati- 
 on, which is a Work requiring greit wifedome, Zealand 
 diligence on our part. And fo much the more, that they 
 are univerfally kn >wn by their fpeeches , carriage , and 
 hopes, grounded upon the confuilon and diftenper of the 
 times,tobe more infolent and pre fumptuous then before. 
 
 Concerning Separatifts upon the other hand : there be 
 but very few in theLand who profeiTethemfelves to be of 
 that fort, and therefore the evil requireth rather a preven- 
 tion then a cure. For this end thefe directions may ferve : 
 
 Firft,that every Minifter take fuch heed to himfelr, and 
 his own Family, both in private worfliip , and practice of 
 Religion , that his Family may be a paterne to all the Fa- 
 milies of the Flock , and his own life and converfation a 
 
 vifible 
 
(3) 
 
 vifible example, and reall proof of bis do&rine ; So fliall 
 the people know by the eye, how and after what manner 
 to pra<ftife that which they hear § they ihall efteeme reve- 
 rently of his judgement , and (hall not be eafily drawne 
 from him , and from the Flock which is fed by fuch a 
 Paftour. 
 
 That by our dodrifie in publick,and by our conference 
 in private,we labour to bring the people to the fenfe of fo. 
 great a mercy as God hath fhowne to this Land, in fetting 
 up our Reformation again : This will be a mean to keep 
 them from Poperie in fubftance and .ceremonie , and from v 
 the love of all,whether novation or reparation. 
 
 That we be diligent in catechifing, and frequent in vifi- 
 ting particular Families , for difcharging the duties of our 
 Paftorall Fun&ion, and efpecially for fetting up the wor- 
 fhip of God in every Family , and enquiring how and by 
 whom it is performed : for the ignorant are eafily drawn 
 away by Sectaries and Seducers , the profane that live 
 without the worfhip of God,are alike difpofed to all Reli- 
 gions % and fuch as are in the generall pioufly affe&ed., 
 and have not the worfhip of God in the Families wherein 
 they live,doe feek ajxer ft where they may have it, and are 
 ready rather then to want it altogether 5 to fuffer them- 
 felves to be drawn away into errour. 
 
 That fuch as are rude and ignorant of the Principles of 
 Religion,and fuch as are notorioufly profane and fcanda- 
 lous in life , be fufpended from the Communion; but fo,as ' 
 all diligence be ufed to informe the one fort., and reforme 
 the other, which fhall be a meane both to lave their fouls, 
 and to remove one principall pretext of Separation. 
 
 That when we heare there is danger of Poperie or Se- 
 paration , the abfurdities of the one and the other, which 
 are many and grofTe,be frequently and plainly reprefented 
 to the People,that they may be brought to the deteftatipn 
 
 A 3 thereof,- ' 
 
(4) 
 thereof,and to the Love of the truth 3 and to ft'edfaftnefle 
 in the Reformed Religion. 
 
 That when we fpeake againfl: the ignorance and profa- 
 nitie of many of our common Profeffors , we take heed 
 that we give not occafion to any to abftain from commu- 
 nicating with them in the externall meanes, and to runa- 
 way in the way o f fchifme and reparation: And when w T e 
 fpeak againfl: Separatifis, that we give no occafion to the 
 profane , to mock at the power and pradice of Religion, 
 or at reparation from the bad cuftomes of the world, and 
 the finnes of the time. And therefore a clear diftin&ion 
 would be made betwixt the Spirit of God, and private 
 fpirits 5 betwixt Sandfification, and this feparation-, be- 
 twixt a Spiritual! ,and a fchifmaticall difpofition -, betwixt 
 feparatifts, and fuch as of late were called Pre cifians, and 
 Puritans,who indeed were no other but theGodly , long- 
 ing after,and now refting in the Reformation of Religion-, 
 betwixt Families worshipping God , and fecret congrega- 
 tions or conventicles • and betwixt the neceflary duetie 
 of theMafter of a Family , and promifcuous prophefying 
 or interpreting of Scripture. When a word is fpoken a- 
 gainft fchifme or feparation , a word alfo would be fpo- 
 ken for preventing the mif-application of the profane, of 
 the worldling, and of the carnall profertbur. 
 
 That as we have been, and have reafon ftill to be zea- 
 lous againfl: all the feeds of Popifh fuperftition,and here- 
 fie,fo mufl: we often give warning to all the Godly, to be- 
 ware of the fmalleft beginnings,and leaft degrees of fepa- 
 ration, and of countenancing of fuch as under the colour, 
 whether of Angular zeal and holinefle , or of the gifts of 
 Illumination, or of Prayer, or prefence of the Spirit,go a- 
 bout as idle and bufie-bodies , fpeaking evil of that which 
 they know not, and againfl all Chriftian Pietie and Cha- 
 ritic, fteking to difgrace the Work of Reformation, and 
 
 the

 •the Teachers and Profeffours of the true Religion y re- 
 
 ; membring that Sathan can transforme himfelfe into an 
 
 Angel of light : Asalfo to take heed to fuch as bewray 
 
 their inclination that way, by abfenting themfelves from 
 
 the Communion , by bringing home, or fp reading of 
 
 Books and Pamphlets which preffe reparation , and fuch 
 
 -other meanes, And for this effed recommends to Pref.

 Concerning the third fort of Enemies, the malignants, 
 whether they be fuch as from the beginning did oppofe 
 the work of Reformation of Religion in this Land , or 
 fuch as fhew themfelves 5 upon whatsoever pretence^back- 
 ward and difafFe&ed to the Reformation of Religion in 
 England , fb much endeavoured by this Kirk from our 
 zeal to the glory of Chrift, our de'fire of the happinefie 
 -ofthe neighbouring kingdoms 5 our fears ofapparent dan- 
 ger to the Religion here , if they be not made one with 
 us in unitie of Religion and uniformitie of Kirk- Govern- 
 ment , and our hopes , by the bleffing of God , to have 
 a paterne from the word fet up in this Hand for the ex- 
 fample of other Kirks abroad ^ Becaufe Enemies of this 
 kind may prove moft dangerous 3 if they be not difcovered 
 and avoided 3 it is at this time a chief part of our dutie to 
 make fuch malignants known to the people 5 that they be 
 not deceived and drawn away from their own ftedfail- 
 neffe , and from the love of Chrift, and their brethren : 
 But in doing this dutie,we have great need of wi(edome a 
 and the fpirit of difcerning , that we neither take our 
 Friends to be our Enemies 5 and by that miftake difcourage 
 the well affe<5ted 5 and multiply Enemies againft our felves^ 
 nor fuch as are indeed Enemies to be our Friends 3 and 
 thereby wrong the caufe of God 5 and weaken our felves in 
 feeking after Reformation* And therefore they mull 
 
 noe 
 
(O. 
 
 not be taken for Enemies who hope thebeft of the Kings 
 Majeftie , and profefle that they love His Honour ( which 
 is the calumnie of the malignant againft the feekers of Re- 
 formation ) nor fuch as in the beginning through want of 
 perfwafion were not fo forward for Reformation , nor 
 fuch as in debate of matters doe pojfibly differ in their 
 judgement from others about fonie circumftances and 
 inidfes which may lead to the defired end of unitie in Re- 
 ligion-, providing their converfation be fuch as befeemeth 
 the gofpel of Chrift , and for the fubftance and reality of 
 their Speeches and A&ions in private and publick, 
 they be known to contribute their befl endeavours for 
 Reformation. 
 
 Upon the other part fuch as be Enemies indeed may be 
 known : Firft by their malicious cenfuring and calumnia- 
 ting of the Civill andEcclefiafticall meetings of this Kirk 
 and Kingdome which are held for conferving of peace be- 
 twixt the Kingdomes , and for endeavouring by all good 
 means the unity of Religion , as if they tended to the 
 diminution of the King His Greatneffe and Authority in 
 England : Secondly, by their defpifing or mif-regarding 
 of the publick refolutions agreed upon for fo good ends : 
 Thirdly ,by their notable injuring the Kings Majeftie in 
 His Honour , in attributing to His Majeftie what foe ver 
 is plotted by bad Counfellours , or a&ed by the Popifh 
 andPrelaticallpartie,as if there were not a difference be- 
 twixt the King and them 3 or betwixt the King His Au- 
 thority and the pretence and abufe thereof: Fourthly,by 
 flanderingand traducing all fuch as labour to promove 
 the Reformation in England , not '(paring them who are 
 in places of government , and whom God hath honoured 
 to be worthy inftruments in our own Reformation , as if , 
 they were Enemies to the Kings Honour ,and were ferving 
 their own private ends without refpeft to the publick: 
 
 fifthly, ; 
 
(7) ■ ; 
 
 Fifthly, by their going about & endeavouring to make the 
 hearts and hands of others to faint in the work of Refor- 
 mation 5 and if it were poffible, to make them as malig- 
 nant and -difaffe died as themfelves : Sixthly,by labouring 
 to bring the Parliament of England in fufpition, as if they 
 intended to caft off the yoke of Royall Authoritie 3 or in- 
 tended not the Reformation of Religion, and Unitie with 
 this Kirk : Seventhly, by their iniolencie and boafting 
 when they hear of the fucceffe of the Popifh and Prelati- 
 call partie , and their readinefle to aflift them according 
 to their power 3 whereby they bewray their feare of the 
 Reformation of Religion , and their hopes to fee the 
 day when they fhall be avenged upon fuch as they ma- 
 ligne at home. When they are known by thef| and the 
 like pra&ices , we ought to warne the People to beware 
 of their company , counfells and feducements : Andbe- 
 caufe fuch malignants fhroud themfelves under the falfe 
 pretence of loyaltie to the Kings Majeftie, without re- 
 fped to Religion , or the good of the publick - 7 we ought 
 in all our fpeeches and prayers to teftifie our faithfulneffe, 
 and high refpefts to the Kings Majeftie, and alfo to prefTe 
 and pray for the unitie of Religion, and for profpering all 
 the good wayes that may conduce for fb bleffed a work, 
 as ferving for the honour of G cTD , and for the King 
 His greatneffe 5 and the true peace of His Kingdom es^de- 
 daring all fuch as oppofe the unitie of Religion to be ene* 
 miesto God^tothe King 5 and to the peace and profperity 
 of the Kingdomes. 
 
 Next 3 fince it is incumbent to us by our calling 5 and 
 committed to us by the Generall Aflembly, according to 
 our callings, to ufeali Lawfull and Ecclefiafticall wayes 
 for furtherance of Reformation and Unity of Religion 3 for 
 continuance of our own peace at home,& of the common 
 peace betwixt the Kingdomes, A neceffity is laid upon us? 
 Firfl, to give warning to the people of the danger of 
 
 B the

 the Proteftant Religion through the Popifh Armies in 
 England and Ireland ? pretending that they are better and 
 more dutlfull Subjects then the Proteftants, but intending 
 nolefle then the mine of the reformed Religion , and the 
 plantingof that Herefie, Idolatry and Tyr&nnie^n a more 
 compendious way then could have been done by the kite 
 Service-Book, and Book ofGanons. In which courfe 
 if they (hall by their power prevail, it will be im- 
 poffible for the Kings Majeftie to fupprefle Poperie, and 
 maintaine the true Religion co'nforme to the many pro- 
 mife.s contained in His Majefti'es Declarations •, they will 
 foone caft off their profeffed allegeance and fubjedion 5 
 and it will be no eafie matter for this Kbk and King- 
 dome, whence they conceive all their troubles and difap- 
 pointments have i(fued,to refift their violence , efpecially 
 confidering what a difaffe&ed and difeontented party we 
 have at home in our own bofome. 
 
 Secondly ,fince unitie in the truth hath been our ftrength 
 fince the beginnings we ought by all good means in publick 
 and private , to prevent and remove all divifive motions 
 which by malicious & crafty fycophants are endeavoured, . 
 by (preading of calumnies and (landers againft the prefent 
 government, and putting afperfions en fuch, whether of, 
 the Nobilitie, Gentry, Burrowes or Minifterie , as the 
 Lord hath .honoured to be faithfull and happy Inftru- 
 ments in his work from the beginning , have endured the 
 heat of the day, and refolve to be conftant unto the end. 
 
 Thirdly , that fince by the providence of God the two 
 Kingdoms are of late fo ftrongly united, & there be hopes 
 of a more ftrong union by unity of Religionjt is our dutie 
 to labour to remove and prevent all occafions of jealou- 
 fk*sand fufpitions betwixt the Kingdomes , and to do or 
 fay ri< (thing that may breed mif-underftandings, break off 
 corre f p(Mv J encc,v/eaken the confidence^ infringe the LU 
 nionand Peace betwixt the two Kingdomes lo happily 
 
 eftabliihed 
 
- - (9) 
 
 eftablifhed in His Majefties prefcnce, and with his Royal! 
 confent in both Parliaments. ; 
 
 Fourthly >becau(e when we {peak for theKings honour, IV, 
 &for obedience to civil authority in all things lawfull ? our 
 fpeeches are wrefted by perverfe men to their corrupt ends, 
 ks if we loved not the Reformation of Religior^and when 
 in preaching and prayer weteftifie our zeal to the Refor- 
 mation of Religion in England and Ireland, we are tradu- 
 ced as Enemies to the King 3 & to Royall authorise, which 
 may make a great miftaking,and work dangerous effeds a- 
 mongft the people who love both Reformation of Religi- 
 on and the Kings Honour: Therefore in this difficultie we 
 ought to iliew in our dodrine/That there is no repugnaii- 
 cy bewixt the Kings Authority & the Reformation of Re- 
 ligion,That nothing can ferve fo much for His Majefties 
 glory , and the greatnes of His Kingdoms ? as doth the Re- 
 formation of Religion in all his dominions, And that fuch 
 as are oppofite to the Reformation of Religion aregrea- 
 teft Enemies to the Kings Honour , whatfoever they pro- 
 feffe or fwear to the contrary-, And alfo to explain the dif- 
 ference betwixt the Kings power and juft -authori'tie, and 
 the pretending and abufing thereof by fuch men for their 
 own private ends • And to fliew that oppolition to fuch 
 men and-theirwayes 5 isa true tefttmony of faithfulneffe 
 and loyalty to the King. 
 
 That the Presbytery be carefull to difcerne and try thefe 
 malignant s,and to redaime or cenfure them, according to 
 the Ads of the Affembly , and to make report of their 
 diligence to the next Affembly. 
 
 ' And becaufe while the Commifiioners of the AfTe.m- 
 i>lyare guarding themfelves againft the oppofition of 
 thefe Enemies, they are fecretly and covertly oppofed by . 
 a malignant Petition > croffing an humble Petition of 
 theirs, prefented to the Lords and others Commifiioners 
 forconfervingofPeace^againft which,as deftmdive of all 
 . ~ Vi i thai. 
 
(10) 
 
 that they had been building up, they were contained to 
 emit their Declaration, which is fent alio with this War- 
 nings all the Minifterie in the Land : it is neceflary that 
 the forefaid Declaration be diligently perufed by the Mi- 
 nifters , and by them made knowne andpublimed to all 
 the people g that they be not deceived and drawn away 
 from their ftedfaftneffe , by the cunning and craft of the 
 fecret and fubtle Enemies of our Nationall Covenant,up- 
 on any pretence whatsoever : And if any fhall be found 
 to deale for fubferibing the Crofle Petition, and thereby 
 to work divifion in the Miniftery, or among the People 5 
 or if any of the Miniftery, ( which God forbid ) fhall be 
 found to favour,countenance, or fpeak in defence thereof, 
 or be remiffe in pilblifhing the Declaration , in that cafe 
 the Presbyterie to proccede againft them as dif-covenan- 
 ters,and enemies to the peace of the Kirk and Kingdome, 
 and to the intended unity of Religion, whatfbever their 
 profefled intentions, and fpecious pretexts be to the con- 
 trary 3 as they will be anfwerable to the next Generall Af- 
 fembly:to which both we for our dire<5Uons,and they for 
 their diligence muft render a reckoning. 
 
 In end.becaufe much every way doth depend upon us 
 of the Minifterie , we have need to ftirre up our felvesto 
 faithfulneffe in every paftorall dutie,and to keep our felves 
 and the People in truth and unity. Which by the blefling 
 ofGodwillbeapowerfull mean to preferve our Religi- 
 on , and to propagate the fame to other Kirks, groaning 
 under their feverall burdens ,and panting for fuch a Refor- 
 mation as the Lord in mercy hath granted unto us. 
 
 The Commissioners of the 'Generall Jjfembly upon mature 
 deliberation judge it necejfary, that this Warning be pub- 
 he kly read in all the Partfh Kirks , that fecret enemies 
 may be difcovered^andthat none of the people fret end ig- 
 norance in ]oyning lejj'e or more, with any of the faid three

 SOLEMNE FAST 
 
 HUMILIATION 
 
 Appointed by the Commifsioners 
 
 of the Generall Aflcmbly, to be kept through 
 the whole Kingdome, upon the laft Sab- 
 bach of February, and the next 
 Thurfday thereafter. 
 
 Hereas by the late General! Aflembly,power 
 is committed to us to confider and perform 
 what wee finde neceflary by all lawfull 
 and Ecclefiaftick wayes 3 for furtherance of 
 the Union in Religion , and Unity in Kirk- 
 government^ for continuance of our own Peace at home 5 
 and of the common Peace betwixt the Kingdomes : We 
 finde it neceflary, that there (hall be aSolemneFaft and 
 Humiliation kept in all the Kirks of this Kingdome 3 on 
 the laft Sabbath of February ,md the Thurfday next there- 
 after,fbr the caufes and motives following. 
 
 Although within thefefew years we renewed the Co- 
 venant , and vowed folemnly to ftand to the former 
 Reformation of Religion , and to reforme our felves 
 and Families y we have notwithstanding fallen from the 
 zeal and fervenck of our Profeffion at that time - 7 Perfons

 of all ranks and callings are grown luke-warme , and are 
 content with a meere formalitie, and (hew of Godlineffe, 
 without the inward power - 7 yea, the moft part are : pro- 
 fane-Jo that Biafphemie,Profanation of the Sabbath, For- 
 nication, Adukery^Drunkenneffe, and other vices abound 
 afmuch as before in the time of corruption. Family wor- 
 fhip,mutuall edificationjand ftirririg up one of another by 
 infonnation,admonition, confolation,rebuke much neg- 
 le&ed, and Minifters negligent in urging the fame. All 
 which are fo much the more hainous , becaufeofourun- 
 thankfulneffe after fo great mercies, and breach of Cove- 
 nant. . 
 
 The danger of this Kirk and^Kingdome,arifing partly 
 from within,by trie infolencie of Papifts in thefe trouble- 
 fome times, the divifive motions of the malignant party, 
 and creeping in of the errours of feparation • and partly 
 from without , from the Popifh Armies and Prelaticall 
 party in England and Ireland, which aime undoubtedly 
 at the difturbance of our Peace, and over- throw of the 
 Work of Reformation. The confideration whereof fliould 
 move us to pray to God to dire<5t us in all lawfull meanes 
 which may ferve for unitie among our felv^s , that we 
 may be the more ftrengthened againft the common ene- 
 mies. 
 
 I *• In refpedf of the fellow-feeling which we ought to 
 have with the members of Chrifts body far and near , we 
 have caufe to lament the long lading troubles of the Kirks 
 of God abroad in Germany >andelfe where, and ipecially 
 the prefentcombuftions in England, and almoftjutter de- 
 flation in Ireland. 
 
 IV . That the Lord may blefle all law T full meanes to be ufed* 
 for preserving the Union and Peace betwixt the two 
 KingdomeSjand procuring the unity of Religion,and uni- 
 formity of wor(hip and Kirk- government' within His 
 
 Majefties 
 
Majefties Dominions 5 efpectally that God would grant a 
 good fucceffe to the treaty and travels of the Commiffio- 
 ners-for the confervation of Peace, and a gracious accep- 
 tance to the Supplications unto His Majefty from the 
 Lords ol Councell, and the Commiffioners both of Par- 
 lianieat.aad of the Generall Affembly. 
 
 Becauf e the unhappy, divifion betwixt the King and the y a 
 Parliament of England is a great impediment to Hie work 
 of Reformatiomand to the fetling of a firme Peace in His 
 Majefties Dominions, it is our dutie to recommend ear- 
 neftly to the Lord , that the differences may be compofed 
 in fuch a way as. may moft conduce to advance the lb 
 much wiflied for Unity of Religion , and uniformitie .of 
 worfhipand Kirk-government. 
 
 Finally ,that the Lord would difcover and difappoint VL 
 all the conspiracies, counfells, and machinations, which 
 tend to the execution of the bloudie decrees of Trent, the 
 fountain whence hath iffued all the troubles and perfec- 
 tions to the Reformed Kirks P and quickly deftroy the
