Have we eaten at all at the king's cost ; or hath he given us any gift ? And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, we have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye ; why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first heard in bring-imr back- our kina; : and the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel, ' Propositions having been agreed to by the parliament, and consented to by the Scottish commissioners, ...were transmitted to the king. In substance they did not mate- rially differ from those made at the treaty of Uxbridge, except that the term demanded for vesting the power of the mihtia in commissioners, before it should be settled by bill, was prolonged from seven to t^venty 3:'ears.
