and_o parliament_n for_o their_o ratification_n but_o in_o the_o year_n 1608_o the_o english_a parliament_n will_v approve_v only_o the_o article_n for_o abolish_n all_o hostile_a law_n that_o have_v

of_o his_o kingdom_n by_o that_o union_n of_o which_o he_o be_v the_o first_o proposer_n king_n charles_n the_o first_o who_o be_v brave_a magnificent_a and_o but_o too_o constant_a in_o adhere_v to_o ill_a counsel_n be_v most_o of_o his_o life_n so_o harrassed_a by_o his_o own_o subject_n that_o he_o never_o have_v time_n to_o think_v upon_o that_o union_n which_o his_o father_n can_v not_o

king_n charles_n the_o second_o after_o his_o restoration_n to_o his_o kingdom_n have_v all_o the_o opportunity_n possible_a that_o ease_n and_o plenty_n can_v afford_v he_o to_o promote_v their_o mutual_a happiness_n do_v therefore_o propose_v a_o union_n betwixt_o scotland_n and_o england_n in_o the_o year_n 1670_o and_o do_v nominat_fw-la for_o that_o end_n several_a commissioner_n under_o his_o great_a seal_n but_o all_o to_o no_o purpose_n because_o such_o a_o union_n can_v not_o sympathize_v with_o the_o politic_n of_o these_o day_n which_o be_v to_o divide_v after_o such_o manner_n the_o people_n of_o the_o whole_a island_n in_o religion_n and_o interest_n that_o by_o continual_o play_v one_o party_n against_o another_o his_o majesty_n may_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o sway_v the_o sceptre_n in_o peace_n and_o to_o introduce_v into_o his_o kingdom_n any_o religion_n suit_v best_o with_o his_o humour_n and_o for_o king_n james_n he_o be_v so_o little_o incline_v to_o

his_o present_a majesty_n have_v do_v many_o great_a action_n both_o for_o the_o well_o fare_v of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o for_o his_o own_o reputation_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v contribute_v more_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o family_n than_o unite_n the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n into_o one_o monarchy_n so_o that_o when_o he_o distribute_v justice_n both_o their_o interest_n be_v the_o same_o none_o of_o they_o will_v have_v reason_n to_o complain_v he_o have_v already_o several_a time_n recommend_v a_o union_n to_o the_o english_a parliament_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v please_v to_o ordain_v effectual_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o that_o end_n there_o be_v a_o union_n already_o betwixt_o both_o nation_n in_o language_n custom_n religion_n and_o in_o subjection_n which_o can_v last_v unless_o both_o government_n be_v unite_v into_o one_o body_n politic_a and_o to_o consummate_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a zeal_n and_o frankness_n in_o the_o member_n of_o both_o parliament_n that_o all_o trifle_a and_o amuse_v preliminary_a article_n be_v forget_v commissioner_n may_v be_v depute_v from_o they_o both_o man_n of_o honour_n and_o probity_n no_o courtier_n but_o free_a of_o all_o prejudice_n against_o either_o nation_n for_o the_o better_a adjust_v the_o two_o follow_a article_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o parliament_n in_o name_n of_o both_o kingdom_n may_v consent_v to_o join_v together_o for_o make_v up_o one_o parliament_n of_o great_a britain_n the_o second_o be_v that_o for_o the_o take_v away_o all_o difference_n about_o place_n that_o may_v arise_v among_o the_o nobility_n of_o both_o kingdom_n let_v they_o be_v marshal_v interchangeable_o as_o for_o example_n first_o the_o elder_a duke_n of_o england_n than_o the_o elder_a duke_n of_o scotland_n and_o so_o on_o until_o the_o nobility_n of_o the_o whole_a island_n be_v mark_v in_o one_o catalogue_n as_o peer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o great_a britain_n if_o these_o two_o article_n can_v be_v agree_v to_o all_o danger_n of_o unite_n the_o two_o kingdom_n will_v be_v over_o and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o all_o useful_a law_n can_v be_v make_v afterward_o without_o the_o least_o stop_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o support_v this_o new_a mould_v empire_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o show_v what_o law_n will_v be_v useful_a i_o must_v remove_v some_o objection_n that_o the_o learned_a sir_n george_n mackenzie_n have_v make_v against_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n have_v power_n to_o agree_v to_o the_o foresay_a two_o article_n in_o his_o observation_n upon_o king_n james_n his_o act_n of_o parliament_n concern_v the_o union_n and_o the_o answer_n to_o his_o objection_n may_v prevent_v the_o like_a to_o be_v make_v against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n in_o the_o same_o case_n be_v both_o parliament_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n be_v of_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n the_o first_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o scot_n parliament_n for_o shire_n and_o burgh_n be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o that_o the_o procuratores_fw-la universitatis_fw-la be_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n but_o the_o procuratores_fw-la universitatis_fw-la can_v not_o alienat_fw-la the_o right_n of_o their_o constituent_n without_o a_o special_a mandate_n for_o that_o effect_n l._n 63._o de_fw-la pro_fw-la neither_o can_v the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n alter_v the_o fundamental_o of_o their_o constitution_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o their_o constituent_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o member_n for_o shire_n and_o burrough_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o the_o procuratores_fw-la universitatis_fw-la because_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o commission_n they_o have_v absolute_a power_n to_o vote_n for_o every_o point_n which_o they_o think_v can_v contribute_v to_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v only_o by_o oath_n of_o parliament_n to_o act_n as_o man_n of_o conscience_n and_o not_o as_o man_n who_o have_v particular_a instruction_n from_o their_o constituent_n and_o it_o be_v by_o that_o power_n they_o alter_v their_o primitive_a constitution_n by_o vote_v out_o a_o three_o state_n of_o parliament_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o present_a majesty_n reign_v much_o rather_o can_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o their_o constituent_n agree_v with_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n to_o the_o two_o foresay_a article_n be_v they_o will_v contribute_v so_o much_o for_o their_o advantage_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o commissioner_n for_o shire_n &_o burrough_n be_v only_o impower_v to_o represent_v their_o constituent_n in_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n but_o if_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n be_v make_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o great_a britain_n the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n can_v be_v say_v no_o long_o to_o exist_v and_o consequent_o the_o commission_n of_o all_o its_o member_n fall_v till_o they_o be_v renew_v empower_v they_o to_o sit_v in_o the_o parliament_n of_o great_a britain_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o by_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o argument_n we_o see_v that_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n have_v a_o absolute_a power_n to_o agree_v to_o the_o foresay_a article_n so_o that_o afterward_o they_o may_v ask_v new_a commission_n from_o their_o respective_a constituent_n to_o unite_v as_o member_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o when_o both_o nation_n be_v persuade_v of_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o union_n there_o can_v be_v no_o impediment_n to_o it_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o union_n of_o parliament_n require_v the_o full_a assent_n of_o the_o member_n of_o both_o parliament_n so_o that_o if_o any_o member_n dissent_n the_o union_n of_o both_o parliament_n must_v stop_v because_o the_o power_n of_o make_v law_n and_o the_o right_a to_o retain_v or_o resign_v privilege_n be_v two_o different_a thing_n the_o one_o be_v a_o a_o legislative_a power_n which_o be_v regulate_v by_o a_o plurality_n of_o voice_n the_o other_o be_v found_v upon_o dominion_n and_o property_n and_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o suffrage_n no_o more_o than_o other_o property_n be_v it_o be_v answer_v to_o this_o last_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v grant_v the_o property_n of_o any_o member_n of_o a_o private_a society_n can_v be_v take_v away_o from_o

of_o people_n for_o whatever_o people_n can_v find_v entertainment_n &_o employment_n in_o scotland_n will_v choose_v rather_o to_o go_v further_a south_n and_o serve_v their_o own_o country_n than_o to_o ramble_n abroad_o for_o a_o livelihood_n so_o that_o the_o number_n of_o people_n which_o die_v by_o excess_n and_o debauch_n in_o and_o about_o london_n or_o the_o southern_a province_n will_v be_v supply_v and_o how_o profitable_a the_o multitude_n of_o people_n be_v to_o a_o country_n that_o have_v employment_n and_o entertainment_n for_o they_o be_v inexpressible_a because_o it_o be_v the_o people_n that_o by_o their_o labour_n and_o industry_n make_v the_o wealth_n and_o power_n of_o every_o thrive_a nation_n therefore_o their_o increase_n shall_v be_v promote_v by_o wise_a conduct_n and_o good_a counsel_n 2_o a_o augmentation_n of_o riches_n for_o england_n be_v the_o large_a and_o better_a kingdom_n scots_a people_n will_v rather_o purchase_v estate_n there_o than_o in_o scotland_n in_o england_n will_v be_v the_o metropolis_n of_o the_o whole_a island_n the_o meeting_n place_n of_o parliament_n and_o of_o all_o the_o chief_a judicature_n through_o which_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n politic_a must_v circulat_v as_o blood_n through_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o natural_a body_n 3_o as_o scotland_n will_v increase_v in_o riches_n it_o will_v be_v the_o more_o able_a for_o tax_n and_o contribute_v force_n both_o at_o sea_n and_o land_n for_o the_o sustenance_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n politic_a and_o consequent_o england_n will_v pay_v less_o and_o gain_v more_o than_o at_o present_a when_o it_o be_v oblige_v to_o support_v of_o itself_o the_o whole_a character_n of_o the_o king_n of_o great-britain_n last_o england_n will_v be_v secure_a within_o itself_o which_o can_v never_o happen_v so_o long_o as_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n be_v different_a nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o the_o union_n of_o crown_n can_v always_o last_v in_o the_o state_n they_o be_v in_o at_o present_a because_o it_o make_v too_o much_o for_o the_o oppression_n of_o scotland_n and_o if_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o two_o kingdom_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o same_o condition_n that_o they_o be_v in_o before_o king_n james_n his_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n what_o can_v be_v hope_v but_o that_o all_o old_a animosity_n will_v be_v renew_v to_o the_o mutual_a ruin_n of_o both_o party_n and_o even_o let_v we_o suppose_v that_o as_o england_n be_v every_o way_n superior_n to_o scotland_n so_o it_o be_v able_a to_o reduce_v it_o as_o a_o conquer_a province_n yet_o england_n shall_v never_o gain_v so_o much_o that_o way_n as_o by_o a_o fair_a union_n for_o the_o country_n will_v be_v depopulat_fw-la render_v inhabitable_a and_o make_v a_o prey_n to_o every_o nation_n that_o will_v be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o invade_v it_o beside_o it_o will_v cost_v england_n a_o great_a expense_n of_o blood_n and_o treasure_n to_o defeat_v so_o many_o thousand_o of_o brave_a man_n that_o will_v stand_v up_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o country_n and_o liberties_n and_o the_o same_o army_n that_o have_v conquer_v they_o perhaps_o may_v be_v induce_v at_o last_o by_o a_o ambitious_a king_n to_o turn_v their_o sword_n against_o their_o own_o countryman_n so_o that_o by_o the_o same_o army_n the_o whole_a island_n will_v hazard_v to_o undergo_v the_o same_o fate_n we_o may_v therefore_o with_o a_o demonstration_n believe_v that_o the_o only_a safe_a way_n for_o england_n to_o conquer_v scotland_n be_v by_o a_o fair_a union_n the_o advantage_n which_o scotland_n will_v reap_v by_o a_o union_n with_o england_n be_v first_o it_o be_v trade_n will_v increase_v have_v as_o free_v a_o trade_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o england_n which_o will_v enable_v it_o not_o only_o to_o contribute_v the_o more_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o public_a but_o to_o improve_v all_o its_o barren_a ground_n to_o the_o great_a satisfaction_n and_o profit_n of_o land-proprietars_a two_o it_o be_v poor_a will_v no_o long_o be_v a_o charge_n to_o the_o nation_n because_o they_o

virtue_n and_o industry_n last_o courtier_n will_v no_o long_o be_v a_o grievance_n to_o the_o nation_n the_o multitude_n of_o nobility_n to_o the_o gentry_n nor_o they_o all_o together_o to_o the_o poor_a husband_n man._n because_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o english_a court_n will_v be_v that_o of_o scotland_n the_o english_a and_o scots_a commons_o can_v balance_n the_o nobility_n of_o the_o
