Excerpt from The Letters and Journals of Robert Baillie, 1842, Vol. 1 of 3 To Mr. William Spang. January 26th 1647. Dear Cousigne, I wrote to yow at length before I came from London; I have had a long and tedious, but, thanks to God, prosperous journey. I am now here weell. I have made my report in the Commission of the Church to all their contentment; our errand in England being brought near a happie period, so farr as concerned us the Commissioners of the Church; for, by God's blessing, the four points of Uniformitie, which wes all our Church gave us in commission to agent in the Assemblie at Westminster, were alfe good as obtained. The Diretorie I brought down before. The modell of Government we have gotten it through the Assemblie according to our mind: it yet sticks in the hands of the Houses. They have past four ordinances at least about it, all prettie right, so farr as concerns the constitution and erection of Generall Assemblies, Provinciall Synods, Presbyteries, and Sessions, and the power of ordination. In the province of London and Lancashyre the bodies are sett up. That the like diligence is not used long agoe in all other places, it's the fottish negligence of the ministers and gentrie in the shyres more than the Parliament.
