Petitioners urge to bind peace through the king through war and treachery
In a Scots Parliament plea the petitioners press for a peace treaty with King Charles as the only path from years of misery. They condemn royal acts including Rochelois, Irish rebellion meddling, and the Spanish fleet while urging impartial justice and a clear separation of powers. The House votes to pursue a treaty preserving religion laws and liberties, with Cromwell’s forces moved into Scotland. Continuous military concentration near Edinburgh is reported.
