thing_n or_o another_o that_o i_o have_v pursue_v this_o matter_n so_o far_o but_o if_o they_o shall_v i_o pray_v god_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o be_v injurious_a to_o i_o the_o principle_n

they_o but_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o more_o manageable_a and_o consider_v temper_n for_o i_o can_v and_o do_v sincere_o protest_v that_o it_o be_v daily_o the_o earnest_a desire_n of_o my_o

this_o five_o enquiry_n and_o now_o i_o think_v i_o have_v competent_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o my_o undertake_n which_o be_v to_o examine_v this_o article_n of_o our_o new_a claim_n of_o right_n and_o try_v its_o firmness_n and_o solidity_n i_o think_v i_o have_v comprise_v in_o these_o five_o inquiry_n every_o thing_n that_o be_v material_a in_o it_o consider_v either_o in_o itself_o or_o as_o it_o support_v the_o great_a alteration_n have_v be_v late_o make_v in_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n it_o may_v have_v be_v more_o narrow_o sift_v and_o sift_v more_o narrow_o it_o may_v have_v be_v find_v liable_a to_o many_o more_o exception_n for_o instance_n 1._o it_o may_v seem_v somewhat_o surprise_v that_o such_o one_fw-mi article_n shall_v have_v be_v put_v into_o a_o scottish_a claim_n of_o right_n that_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v make_v so_o seem_o fundamental_a at_o least_o in_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o scottish_a monarchy_n which_o be_v so_o famous_a and_o have_v be_v so_o much_o renown_v for_o its_o antiquity_n be_v ever_o such_o one_fw-mi article_n in_o a_o scottish_a claim_n of_o right_o before_o no_o man_n i_o think_v will_v say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o original_a contract_n make_v with_o fergus_n the_o first_o if_o any_o original_a contract_n be_v make_v with_o he_o for_o if_o he_o be_v he_o be_v advance_v to_o the_o throne_n 330_o year_n before_o our_o saviour_n birth_n if_o we_o may_v believe_v our_o historian_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o one_fw-mi article_n in_o the_o original_a contract_n then_o that_o the_o christian_a church_n shall_v be_v so_o or_o so_o govern_v few_o man_n i_o think_v will_v say_v it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o original_a contract_n make_v with_o any_o scottish_a king_n before_o the_o reformation_n no_o man_n can_v produce_v any_o such_o article_n in_o any_o original_a contract_n make_v with_o king_n james_n the_o six_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o or_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o unless_o it_o be_v the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n or_o the_o act_n of_o the_o west_n kirk_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o any_o original_a contract_n make_v with_o king_n james_n the_o seven_o for_o all_o the_o nation_n know_v it_o be_v declare_v by_o the_o meeting_n of_o estate_n that_o he_o forfeit_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n for_o have_v make_v no_o original_a contract_n these_o be_v all_o the_o real_a or_o pretend_a king_n we_o have_v have_v since_o the_o reformation_n till_o the_o late_a revolution_n be_v not_o this_o article_n therefore_o a_o new_a fundamental_a add_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o ancient_a scottish_a monarchy_n this_o be_v all_o upon_o the_o supposition_n that_o it_o be_v true_o a_o part_n of_o our_o new_a claim_n of_o right_n though_o indeed_o 2._o it_o may_v be_v make_v a_o question_n whither_o it_o can_v be_v just_o call_v a_o part_n of_o the_o claim_n of_o right_a it_o be_v very_o possible_a for_o one_o thing_n to_o be_v in_o another_o without_o be_v part_n of_o that_o other_o and_o one_o will_v think_v this_o article_n look_v very_o unlike_o a_o part_n of_o a_o claim_n of_o right_n it_o seem_v not_o to_o run_v in_o the_o stile_n that_o be_v proper_a for_o claim_n of_o right_n it_o be_v certain_a it_o run_v not_o in_o the_o stile_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o article_n all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o article_n tell_v we_o either_o what_o be_v contrary_a to_o law_n or_o what_o be_v the_o undoubted_a right_n of_o the_o people_n this_o article_n import_v nothing_o like_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o it_o only_o declare_v prelacy_n to_o be_v a_o grievance_n etc._n etc._n this_o do_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o law_n for_o law_n themselves_o may_v be_v and_o actual_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v grievance_n by_o the_o meeting_n of_o estate_n in_o another_o paper_n and_o the_o article_n declare_v that_o prelacy_n ought_v to_o be_v abolish_v be_v one_fw-mi argument_n that_o it_o subsist_v by_o law_n and_o it_o be_v abolish_v as_o subsist_v by_o law_n for_o the_o act_n which_o abolish_v it_o repeal_v the_o law_n by_o which_o it_o subsist_v neither_o be_v prelacy_n declare_v by_o the_o article_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o right_n but_o only_o to_o the_o inclination_n of_o the_o people_n and_o i_o think_v it_o require_v no_o depth_n of_o metaphysical_a precision_n to_o distinguish_v between_o right_n and_o inclination_n indeed_o it_o seem_v obvious_a to_o any_o body_n that_o this_o article_n have_v have_v its_o situation_n more_o proper_o and_o natural_o among_o the_o grievance_n which_o be_v digest_v in_o another_o paper_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v be_v only_o praeternatural_o and_o by_o apparent_a force_n thrust_v into_o the_o claim_n of_o right_n it_o may_v be_v make_v a_o question_n whither_o its_o be_v so_o there_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v it_o part_n of_o the_o claim_n of_o right_a or_o whither_o its_o nature_n shall_v not_o be_v regard_v rather_o than_o its_o post_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v construct_v to_o have_v no_o more_o weight_n than_o if_o it_o have_v be_v regular_o rank_v in_o its_o own_o category_n but_o such_o question_n be_v too_o hard_o for_o i_o and_o more_o proper_a for_o lawyer_n to_o determine_v neither_o shall_v i_o meddle_v 3._o with_o many_o other_o obvious_a difficulty_n which_o must_v necessary_o result_v from_o this_o article_n be_v make_v true_o a_o part_n of_o the_o original_a contract_n between_o king_n and_o people_n such_o as_o its_o make_v the_o settlement_n of_o the_o crown_n to_o depend_v not_o on_o right_a of_o inheritance_n or_o proximity_n of_o blood_n or_o any_o such_o ancient_n legal_a solid_a hereditary_a title_n but_o on_o the_o every_o day_n changeable_a inclination_n of_o the_o people_n for_o these_o be_v the_o main_a fund_z of_o the_o article_n and_o by_o the_o supposition_n the_o article_n be_v intrinsical_v and_o fundamental_a to_o the_o present_a settlement_n this_o i_o say_v and_o many_o more_o such_o which_o may_v be_v easy_o name_v seem_v a_o very_a considerable_a difficulty_n that_o may_v be_v urge_v on_o such_o a_o supposition_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v on_o they_o far_o 4._o beside_o all_o these_o awkward_a exception_n whither_o it_o be_v or_o be_v not_o a_o part_n of_o the_o claim_n of_o right_n the_o stile_n of_o it_o may_v deserve_v to_o be_v consider_v particular_o that_o phrase_n of_o prelacy_n be_v a_o great_a and_o insupportable_a grievance_n and_o trouble_v to_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v in_o my_o three_o enquiry_n guess_v at_o its_o meaning_n but_o i_o do_v sincere_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v but_o guess_v and_o even_o yet_o i_o can_v do_v no_o more_o but_o guess_n about_o it_o do_v it_o not_o at_o first_o sight_n appear_v a_o little_a too_o big_a and_o swell_a be_v it_o not_o hard_a to_o find_v for_o it_o
