Paper from them, to the Parliament of Scotland, about Captain Wogan's going there with his Troop.
"We, the Commissioners of both Houses of the Parliament of England, are commanded to make known unto the Parliament of Scotland, That they have Notice from Sir Thomas Fairefax their General, That one Captain Wogan (an Englishman) and his Troop, who, being of the supernumerary Forces, was, by the Resolutions of both Houses of Parliament and the Order of the General, to be disbanded; but he, refusing so to do, marched by a counterfeit Pass from the County of Worcester, in the Kingdom of England, into the North; and that from thence they are come, in a Military Posture, with Arms and Colours, into the Kingdom of Scotland, which was altogether without the Allowance, Order, or Privity, of the Parliament of England; and they are likewise informed, that others, who are principal English Delinquents, and have been in Arms against the Parliament, do harbour in this Kingdom, all which is against the large Treaty betwixt the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, the Acts of Pacification and Oblivion, passed Anno 17 Car'l. Regis. The said Captain Wogan being seen in Edinburgh, by several of our Servants, Yesterday, and divers Days before; we do, in the Name of both Houses of the Parliament of England, demand of the Parliament of Scotland, That the said Captain Wogan, with his Officers and Soldiers (that are Englishmen), together with their Horses and Arms, be seized, secured, and delivered to us, to be disposed of as both Houses of the Parliament of England have or shall appoint. And we cannot doubt but, upon Discovery of any other English Forces, or any Englishmen who have been Officers or Reformadoes, and served the King against the Parliament, that shall be received or harboured in this Kingdom, you will do the like Justice to the Kingdom of England, upon our demanding of them.
