A57287	Scotland's grievances relating to Darien &c., humbly offered to the consideration of the Parliament	Ridpath, George, d. 1726.	1700 (1700)	Wing R1464; ESTC R1580	53,913	60

scotland_n and_o a_o desire_n to_o advance_v their_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n and_o be_v very_o sensible_o touch_v with_o the_o loss_n his_o subject_n of_o that_o kingdom_n have_v sustain_v by_o their_o late_a unhappy_a expedition_n in_o order_n to_o a_o settlement_n at_o darien_n his_o majesty_n do_v apprehend_v that_o difficulty_n may_v too_o often_o arise_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o different_a interest_n of_o trade_n between_o his_o two_o kingdom_n unless_o some_o way_n be_v find_v out_o to_o unite_v they_o more_o near_o and_o complete_o and_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n take_v this_o opportunity_n of_o put_v the_o house_n of_o peer_n in_o mind_n of_o what_o he_o recommend_v to_o his_o parliament_n soon_o after_o his_o accession_n to_o the_o throne_n that_o they_o will_v consider_v of_o a_o union_n between_o the_o two_o kingdom_n his_o majesty_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o nothing_o will_v more_o contribute_v to_o the_o security_n and_o happiness_n of_o both_o kingdom_n and_o be_v incline_v to_o hope_n that_o after_o they_o have_v live_v near_o 100_o year_n under_o the_o same_o head_n some_o happy_a expedient_a may_v be_v find_v for_o make_v they_o one_o people_n in_o case_n a_o treaty_n be_v set_v on_o foot_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v very_o earnest_o recommend_v this_o matter_n to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o house_n this_o answer_n be_v indeed_o something_o more_o like_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o king_n of_o scot_n than_o that_o to_o the_o address_n of_o both_o house_n of_o the_o 17_o the_o of_o december_n 1695._o yet_o the_o management_n of_o our_o friend_n his_o majesty_n counsellor_n in_o scots_a affair_n be_v still_o obvious_a to_o our_o view_n in_o this_o answer_n the_o transport_v of_o joy_n they_o be_v fill_v with_o upon_o the_o receipt_n of_o the_o lord_n address_v discover_v itself_o by_o visible_a ebullition_n in_o the_o very_a first_o line_n his_o majesty_n have_v receive_v a_o very_a dutiful_a address_n what_o pity_n it_o be_v that_o new_a patent_n of_o honour_n be_v not_o send_v to_o every_o one_o of_o those_o lord_n that_o be_v for_o this_o dutiful_a address_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v weigh_v in_o a_o scot_n balance_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v undutiful_a to_o the_o high_a degree_n 1._o because_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o advise_v his_o majesty_n to_o act_v contrary_a to_o what_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o the_o scot_n and_o 2._o because_o instead_o of_o own_v he_o as_o a_o independent_a sovereign_n of_o scotland_n they_o treat_v he_o like_o their_o vassal_n as_o he_o be_v king_n of_o scot_n by_o pretend_v to_o direct_v he_o in_o the_o affair_n of_o our_o nation_n where_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v and_o that_o also_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n who_o must_v rational_o be_v suppose_v to_o understand_v the_o interest_n of_o our_o nation_n better_o and_o to_o consult_v it_o more_o than_o they_o either_o can_v or_o will_v do_v certain_o they_o must_v have_v a_o very_a mean_a opinion_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o nation_n if_o they_o think_v we_o can_v be_v gull_v with_o their_o pretend_v to_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o great_a loss_n of_o man_n and_o treasure_n when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o charge_v themselves_o with_o advise_v to_o those_o measure_n which_o occasion_v the_o loss_n of_o both_o and_o indirect_o threaten_v we_o for_o we_o can_v interpret_v it_o otherwise_o with_o far_o great_a disappointment_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o our_o design_n for_o justification_n of_o which_o they_o have_v already_o form_v their_o declaration_n viz._n that_o our_o settlement_n at_o darien_n be_v great_o prejudicial_a to_o their_o nation_n and_o disturb_v their_o peace_n with_o spain_n when_o all_o this_o while_n the_o spaniard_n have_v never_o offer_v to_o make_v the_o least_o reprisal_n upon_o they_o for_o it_o whereas_o they_o have_v commit_v actual_a hostility_n upon_o we_o his_o majesty_n declare_v that_o he_o can_v but_o have_v a_o great_a concern_v and_o tenderness_n for_o his_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n and_o a_o desire_n to_o advance_v our_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n discover_v a_o paternal_a affection_n to_o we_o but_o consider_v how_o he_o be_v circumstantiate_a be_v like_a to_o be_v of_o as_o little_a use_n to_o our_o nation_n as_o the_o affection_n of_o a_o natural_a father_n to_o his_o own_o child_n for_o who_o he_o dare_v not_o do_v any_o good_a office_n because_o of_o a_o curse_a ill-natured_a stepmother_n that_o have_v he_o at_o command_n thus_o his_o majesty_n be_v gracious_o please_v to_o grant_v we_o a_o act_n for_o encourage_v and_o promote_a our_o trade_n but_o by_o the_o malice_n of_o our_o enemy_n who_o have_v he_o in_o their_o hand_n be_v force_v to_o counteract_v it_o thus_o he_o have_v be_v please_v again_o to_o promise_v our_o colony_n the_o same_o liberty_n of_o trade_n that_o other_o have_v to_o the_o english_a plantation_n but_o must_v be_v force_v to_o recall_v his_o word_n or_o at_o least_o to_o be_v worse_o than_o his_o promise_n because_o he_o be_v tell_v
