that some of thē have purchased licence by the votes of the counsell albeit we opponed Therefore beseek his Majest to remember the counsell that the confining of these Ministers was for faults done by them to his H. self that they should be acknowledged and conf●ssed to his Majestie and his H. pleasure understood therein before the grant of any favour otherwise they shall undoe all that hath beene hitherto followed for the peace of the Kirk 4. Touching the erections it is our humble desire to his Majestie that the Noblemen in whose favours the same have beene past may take order for the provision of their Kirks according to the conditions made in Parliament or then discharge their erections which seemes best to be done by an act of this ensuing session of Parliament for which his Majesties warrant would be had And some such like course would be taken for the prelacies erected which have past also the constant plat that the presentation of Ministers to the modified stipends at the vacantie of the Church should be in his Majesties hand whereunto though his Majesties expresse commandement was given of before no heed was taken by such as had the charge of affaires 5. Since this matter of the commissariats importeth so much to the reformation of our Church governement as this being restored in a litle time the rest may be supplied which will be wanting it shall be good to remember it by a serious letter to my Lord of Dumbar that we may know in due time what is to be expected And since our greatest hinderance is found to be in the session of whom the most part are ever in heart opposite unto us and forbeare not to keith it when they have occasion you shall humblie intreat his Majestie to remember our sute for the kirkmens place according to the first institution and that it may take at this time some beginning since the place vacant was even from the beginning in the hands of the spirituall side with some one kirkman or other till now which might it be obtained as were most easie by his Majesties direction and commandement there should be seene a suddaine change of many humours in that estate and the commonwealth would find the profite thereof 6. Anent our conference with the ministrie your L. will declare the time that is appointed and reasons of the continuation of the same 7. Because in the time of Parliament cheeflie it should be expedient to have the Bishops to teach in the pulpits of Edinburgh his Majestie would be pleased to commend this to my Lord of Dumbar by a particular letter and to require also the Ministers of Edinburgh to desire their help at that time if it were for no other end but to testifie their unitie and consent of minds to the Estates 8. Because the Kirk of Leith lyeth destitute in a sort through the Bishop of Rosse his age and the imprisonement of Mr. Iohn Murrey and that the said M. Iohn is no wayes minded as appeareth to give his Majestie satisfaction neither were it meet in respect of his carriage that he should returne to that ministrie and to insist in his deprivation with the Commissioners might perhaps breed us a new difficultie if his Majestie shall be pleased we doe hold it most convenient for the errand that the said M. Iohn be conveened before the counsell by his Majesties command and by them charged to waid in the towne of Newabbey and some miles about having libertie to teach that people among whom he shall find some other subject to worke upon then the state of Bishops And for the provision of Leith that his Majestie would be pleased to command the presbyterie of Edinburgh in regarde of the Bishop of Rosse his age and the said M. Iohns transportation by his H. appointment to have care that the said Kirk of Leith be planted with all convenient diligence by M. David Lindsey sometimes Minister at Sant Andrewis for whom both the people is earnest and we may have sufficient assurance to his Majesties service And incase the said presbyterie prove wilfull that another letter to the same effect may be sent to the Commissioners of the generall assemblie who may take order to see that matter ended if such shall be his Majesties pleasure and this would be done with all diligence convenient We cannot but remember also the misorder keeped in the countrie that once was happily repressed wearing of gunnes and pistols and humblie beseech his Maj. that some new course may be established for searching of such persons and delating of them to the counsell that they may be punished and the Thesaurer may have commandement to make choise in everie countrie of certaine that shall be thought fittest to search who shall be knowne onelie to his L. self and satisfie them for their paines to the end this insolence may be restrained Particularlie it would be forbidden in the granting of commissions that this libertie be not permitted for this is one of the causes of their so open dealing as said is These particulars your L. would have care to propone to his Majest at some fit time and see the answers thereof dispatched accordingly Glasgow by the warrant and at the desire of the rest of my Lords the Bishops Master George Glaidstones sent this letter following to the King in August 1612. whereby the reader may perceave what were their plots and preparations before the Parliament following in October where the act of Glasgow was ratified or rather altered Most gratious Soveraigne AS it hath pleased your Maj. to direct mee and my Lord your Majesties Secretarie for advising anent our affairs to be handled in this approaching parliament so happilie did I find him and my Lord of Glasgow both in this towne and conveened them both immediatlie after mine arriving and with good advisement we have made choise of these things which are most necessarie and have omitted these articles which may seeme to carie envie or suspition or which your Majestie by your royall authoritie might not performe by your self But we all hold fast this conclusion that it is most necessarie and convenient both for your Majesties service and weill of the Church that the Day viz. the 12. of October shall hold preciselie to the which the parliament was proclaimed upon the 24. of this instant I will assure your Majest that the verie evill will which is caried to my Lord Chancelor by the nobilitie and people is like to make us great store of friendship for they know him to be our professed enemie and he dissembled it not I thank God that it pleased your M. to make choise of my Lord Secretary to be our Formalist and adviser of our acts For we finde him wise fast secret We shall not be idle in the mean time to prepare such as have vote to incline the right way All men do follow us and hunt for our favour upon report of your Majesties good acceptance of
