the_o first_o and_o the_o assassination_n of_o the_o archbishop_n of_o st._n andrews_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o sermon_n he_o say_v it_o may_v be_v expect_v that_o i_o shall_v speak_v something_o

which_o the_o assembly_n think_v to_o have_v suppress_v altogether_o because_o it_o contain_v some_o reflection_n on_o the_o member_n of_o the_o assembly_n when_o all_o be_v consider_v the_o come_n in_o of_o these_o cameronian_n appear_v a_o kind_n of_o mystery_n which_o can_v be_v well_o understand_v for_o there_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v a_o true_a union_n but_o only_o a_o kind_n of_o truce_n for_o present_a conveniency_n or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o union_n the_o condescendence_n be_v upon_o the_o assembly_n side_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o assembly_n have_v turn_v

true_a covenant_v presbyterian_o which_o as_o mr._n shield_n observe_v the_o assembly_n have_v not_o contradict_v nor_o refute_v and_o as_o their_o silence_n be_v a_o tacit_a confession_n of_o their_o guilty_a which_o they_o also_o acknowledge_v in_o general_a term_n in_o the_o act_n and_o reason_n for_o the_o fast_a so_o the_o receive_a man_n into_o their_o communion_n without_o check_n or_o censure_n who_o teach_v public_o in_o their_o sermon_n and_o maintain_v in_o their_o book_n tenet_n and_o position_n which_o be_v both_o scandalous_a to_o religion_n and_o also_o destructive_a of_o human_a society_n i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o evidence_n that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o have_v no_o abhorrence_n of_o such_o scandalous_a and_o pernicious_a principle_n as_o those_o man_n have_v vent_v but_o though_o the_o assembly_n and_o mr._n shield_n mr._n linen_n and_o mr._n boide_v have_v make_v a_o agreement_n without_o come_v to_o particular_n or_o express_a the_o mutual_a term_n or_o condition_n yet_o the_o other_o cameronian_n refuse_v to_o patch_v up_o a_o peace_n so_o easy_o they_o require_v express_v and_o particular_a declaration_n from_o the_o other_o

of_o kilsyth_n to_o the_o presbytery_n of_o glasgow_n and_o when_o one_o who_o be_v send_v from_o that_o presbytery_n to_o preach_v there_o possess_v the_o pulpit_n it_o be_v report_v that_o he_o go_v up_o to_o a_o loft_n or_o gallery_n in_o the_o church_n and_o instead_o of_o instruct_v the_o people_n they_o fall_v soul_n upon_o one_o another_o whatever_o be_v of_o this_o it_o be_v certain_a the_o

decide_v by_o no_o mean_a person_n than_o the_o king_n so_o that_o mr._n howston_n go_v to_o flanders_n that_o king_n william_n may_v interpose_v his_o authority_n for_o repair_v the_o injury_n he_o have_v receive_v and_o i_o be_o tell_v that_o he_o not_o only_o complain_v of_o his_o own_o treatment_n but_o also_o represent_v to_o his_o majesty_n that_o the_o assembly_n and_o other_o presbyterian_o take_v measure_n that_o be_v not_o good_a either_o for_o church_n or_o kingdom_n thus_o though_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o king_n to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o their_o kirk_n yet_o they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o will_v have_v recourse_n to_o he_o on_o occasion_n he_o succeed_v so_o well_o that_o he_o procure_v two_o letter_n from_o the_o king_n in_o his_o behalf_n one_o to_o the_o council_n another_o to_o the_o presbytery_n of_o glasgow_n he_o deliver_v the_o first_o to_o my_o lord_n crawford_n and_o go_v with_o the_o other_o to_o glasgow_n the_o presbytery_n receive_v it_o and_o to_o prevent_v any_o protestation_n he_o may_v make_v for_o their_o not_o obey_v it_o they_o say_v to_o he_o that_o some_o of_o the_o brethren_n shall_v be_v appoint_v to_o confer_v with_o he_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o dissolve_v the_o meeting_n and_o do_v nothing_o upon_o this_o he_o return_v to_o edinburgh_n to_o be_v redress_v by_o the_o council_n but_o when_o he_o come_v there_o he_o find_v that_o his_o letter_n have_v never_o be_v produce_v and_o crawford_n to_o who_o he_o have_v deliver_v it_o have_v take_v journey_n for_o london_n so_o that_o
