be_v wrong_v as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o privy_a council_n order_n than_o the_o election_n must_v fall_v to_o which_o it_o be_v short_o answer_v that_o the_o procedure_n of_o the_o town_n

which_o twelve_o be_v the_o old_a magistrate_n three_o merchant_n counsellor_n and_o two_o trade_n counsellor_n so_o that_o patrick_n johnstoun_n and_o james_n baillie_n be_v old_a merchant_n
