Power of Calling Adjourning Prorogation is not in our Law and Dissolving of Parliaments the giving the Votes of Parliament the Authority of Laws the executing of the Law and the pardoning of Offences are clearly and onely in the Crown But to these other great Additions have been made in the two Parliaments held since His MAJESTIE' 's Restauration For whereas the Supremacy in Ecclesiastical affairs was always in the Crown since the Reformation yet in the Reign of King James the Sixth the Power of the General Assembly was raised very high by Law which was the chief foundation of the late Troubles it being pretended that it was contrary to Law for the King to introduce any thing into the Church without the consent of a General Assembly It was therefore enacted in Parliament That the External Government and Polity of the Church was wholly in the King's power and that his Orders sent to the Privy Council and published by them about all Ecclesiastical matters Meetings and Persons were to be obeyed by the Subjects any Law or Practice to the contrary notwithstanding So that in all matters that relate to the Chuch-Government the King's Power is absolute The Second Point is about the Militia By the ancient Laws of Scotland all the King's Subjects were to assist him in his Wars Upon which a great enlargement of the King's Prerogative was grafted of late by two Acts of Parliament the Kingdom of Scotland offering to the King to raise and arm Twenty thoussand Foot and Two thousand Horse and to furnish them with forty days Provision to march into any of His Majestie 's Dominions of Scotland England or Ireland for suppressing any Foreign Invasion Intestine Trouble or Insurrection or for any other Service wherein His Majestie 's Honour Authority or Greatness may be concerned And these Forces by another Act are to give due Obedience to all such Directions as they shall receive from His Majestie 's Privie Council A Third Point is the Ordering and disposing of Trade with Forein Nations and the laying of Restraints and Impositions upon Forein imported Commodities which is declared a Prerogative of the Crown With these Sacred Rights is the Crown of Scotland cloathed The King's Revenue consisted anciently most in the Crown-Lands which could not be alienated but by Act of Parliament and in the Wards and Marriages of the Vassals of the Crown But most of these have been of late years given away and most of the Tenures of Lands are changed although there has been no general Law for taking away the Wards The Revenue is now raised out of the Customes and the Excise The last is given to this King for life but the former is in the Crown for ever The rest is raised out of what remains of the Crown-Lands and the Wards The Persons nearest in bloud to the King are first all the Issue of King James and King Charles which are so well known to every one that they need not be repeated Next to them are all that are descended from the Daughter of King James the Second since whom till the Queen of Bohemia no Collateral Branch sprung from the Royal Family of whom any Issue remains who was married to James Lord Hamilton and had issue first James created Earl of Arran whose Son was the Duke of Chastelberault from whom by two Sons and two Daughters are descended the Families of Hamilton and Abercorn and the Families of Huntly and Launderdail And by an Act of Parliament signed by all the Three Estates the Original whereof is yet extant in the Reign of Queen Mary the Duke of Chastelberault's Family is declared next the Queen and her Issue the rightfull Heir of the Crown The Sister of King James the Third bare likewise to the Lord Hamilton a Daughter married to the Earl of Lennox from whom descended the Family of Lennox There is no other Branch of the Royal Family since it was in the Line of the Stewarts except the Earl of Cassils his Family whose Ancestour the Lord Kennedy married King James the First 's Sister from which Mariage that Family is descended And so much of the Royal Family The Chief and Supreme Court is the High Court of Parliament which is made up of Three Estates The First is the Ecclesiastical that of old consisted of the Bishops and Mitered Abbots but since the Reformation consists onely of Archbishops and Bishops The Second Estate is the Nobility who were anciently divided into the Greater Barons and the Lesser for every man that holds Lands of the Crown with a Privilege of holding a Court much like the Lord of a Manour in England is called a Baron and all were obliged to appear personally in Parliament for Proxies were never allowed by the Law of Scotland and give the King Counsel This proved a very heavy burthen to the small Barons upon which they desired to be excused from their attendance in Parliament and this was granted to them as a favour in King James the First 's reign And though by that Act they might have sent two or three or more to represent them from every Shire yet they made no use of that for above 150 years but King James the Sixth to balance the Nobility got them restored to that Right so that ever since there are two sent from every Shire who are Commissioners for the Shires The Third Estate is the Burroughs every one of which chuseth one Commissioner onely the City of Edinburgh as the Metropolis chuseth two The Parliament is summoned by Proclamation made at the Head-Burrough of every Shire 40 days before they meet upon which the Shires and Burroughs meet about their Elections Every man that holds Lands of the Crown that in the Rolls of the Taxation the ancient Name of Subsidies or Assessments are valued at 40 shillings Scotish mony of Taxation to the King which will be in real value about Ten pounds Sterling a year is an Electour and may be Elected so he be rightly vested in the Land or according to the Scotish terms infeoft and seised and be not at the King's Horn that is under an Outlawry The Electours subscribe the Commissions they give and so their Commissioner is returned and if there be cross Elections the Parliament is the onely Judge In the Burroughs the Common-Council of the Town makes the Election When the day comes in which the Parliament is to be held the Regalia the Crown Sceptre and the Sword of State which are kept in the Castle of Edinburgh are brought down in State to the King's Palace and are to be carried by three of the ancientest Earls that are upon the place bare-headed before the King or His Commissioner In the great Court before the King's Palace all the Members of Parliament do mount on Horseback with Foot-cloaths c. The Burgesses ride first the Commissioners of the Shires next then the Lords Viscounts and Earls in their Robes the last of whom do carry the

or Obedience Thus continued they during the heat of Persecution and when Peace was restored they returned to their former Dwellings resuming their Callings which they had not left off but for a time laid aside Afterwards there sprung up another sort of Monks leading a solitary life when no Persecution forced them thereunto These considering the inconstancy of humane affairs that though they had Prosperity for the present it might be soon changed into a contrary condition if either the restless endeavours of Satan took effect or sinfull Christians were rewarded according to their deserts and prompted also thereunto by their own Melancholick dispositions chose a lone life and lived in Desarts Afterwards they were gathered together to live under one Roof because their Company would be chearfull in Health and needfull in Sickness one to another They sustained themselves by their Labour for every one had a Calling whereby to gain his Livelihood and relieved others by their Charity and very strict were they in their Lives and Conversations But afterwards Monks having sufficiency turned lazie then getting waxed wanton and at last endowed with superfluity became notoriously vicious and so they continued till they were finally extirpated Thus much concerning their Original proceed we next to their several Orders The first are the Benedictines or Black Monks so called from Saint Benedict or Bennet an Italian who flourished about the year 500 first Father and Founder of that Order The Benedictines and Augustinians came into Scotland about one time Their Convents 1.
