especially if Mr. R's Years and other Circumstances be duly considered For however your Scurrilous Evidence Sir William represents him he had never then been under the Razor though the valourous Knight may be very well satisfied that it was not from any defect of his Constitution if he remembers the full handful which Hangman like he took of his Hair to pull him in again before the Council And to let your Doctorship see further what honest Evidence you have to support your Cause here 's an attested Copy of the Bond which Sir William gives a false Account of WE whose Names are here underwritten in order to the prosecuting of our Design to burn the Pope in Effigie 1. Do faithfully promise mutual Assistance and Concurrence but to prevent Scruples which may arise hereanent We declare that it is not out of contempt of Lawful Authority or to bring any Person or Persons into a Praemunire but out of a pure hatred against that Man of Sin and eldest Child of the Devil 2. For the Incouragement of each concern'd in this Affair we faithfully promise Secrecy lest any should incur Hazard either by contriving or carrying it on 3. We promise to defend one another against the Opposers but yet we look for none 4. That we shall not suffer one another to be extruded the Colledg or imprisoned upon that Account 5. That in a special manner we shall keep secret the Names of the principal Actors To the observing of which Articles we every one of us for our selves oblige upon the Word of a Gentleman and Promise of a Christian and in case of Failzie the Divulgers or Breakers besides the incurring the Hatred of the Observers shall forfeit 30 s. Scots The Attestation THAT this above-written is the true Copy of the Bond contracted amongst the Students of Philosophy in the College of Edinburgh called by the Council the Bond of Combination Whereupon they found their Warrant for what they have done against the whole Students in general and for sentencing to Banishment our Fellow-Student after nine Weeks Imprisonment in particular We do by our subscriptions Testify William Gordon eldest Son to my Lord Viscount of Kenmure Iohn Drummond Son to Alderman or Balzie Drummond of Edinburgh William Gordon 2 d Son to the Laird of Earlston and now a Captain in the Earl of Leven's Regiment Iohn Drummond a Perthshire Gentleman Da. Arnot Son to a Worthy Minister Thomas Wake a Northumberland-Man Io. Guthrie lately Major in my Lord Cardrosses Regiment Now Doctor here 's your Evidence Sir William Paterson proven to be a false one by the Attestation of several Gentlemen of better Quality and the meanest of them of much better Extract than himself Whence his Worship may also have a clear Vidimus that better than he chose Mr. R. whom he does so much vilify for their Companion And at the same time you may also perceive the Wisdom of your Prelatical Council in making so much to do and bringing in their whole Army to oppose about 200 young Lads who had a mind to divert themselves by burning the Pope and to secure themselves from the Insults of any rascally Fellows Papists and others with which the Town did then abound or from any Collegial Punishment which the Principal and Regents durst never have refus'd if the Council had desired it entred into the above-mention'd Bond which was so far from being maturely considered that the Tautologies are sufficient to discover its having been drawn in a Hurry and the foolishness of the Penalty shows that it was altogether Juvenile But however the Council of Scotland and especially Arch-bishop Paterson and his Brother Sir William were then so eager to promote a Popish Interest that they affronted Mr. George Shields who is well enough known here in London for his owning the late King because he did about that time as I think preach against Transubstantiation and threatned to kick him down Stairs Well Doctor we must now come to the Politicks which you advance p. 51. by way of Apology for your Bishops seven of whom concurred with the Convention of States in their Vote when King Iames's Letter was delivered to them viz. That they were a free and lawful Meeting notwithstanding of any Order that might be contain'd in that Letter to dissolve them Whence I concluded that the said Bishops were inconsistent with their former Principles and after Practices The first thing which you advance is a Concession that it was so if they intended by that Vote nothing less than what the Presbyterians advanced Now Doctor that the Presbyterians advanced any thing higher against King Iames than his Forfeiture of the Crown for his Male-administration you cannot pretend but I humbly conceive there is something more advanced in the concurrence of your Bishops viz. that King Iames had forfeited without Male-administration for we never heard that they complain'd of his Government nor was it possible according to their Principles that he could forfeit on any Account whatsoever Now Doctor all that remains in Controversy betwixt us in this Point is Whether by this Vote they intended that King Iames had forfeited or not And I dare be bold to aver that whether it were Intentio operantis or no it was certainly Intentio operis and if your Bishops could not see so far before their Nose as this comes to who can help it for that it was the undoubted Right of King Iames while he was King to call and dissolve Parliaments or Conventions I know no Body that denies And therefore by clear Consequence the depriving him of this Power does certainly divest him of the Soveraignty and if your Bishops did this though they did not intend it it may perhaps excuse them from being Knaves but it declares them Fools with a Vengeance But Doctor I am afraid that if the Business be duly canvass'd it will prove them both That this Power of Calling and Dissolving Parliaments c. was one of the fairest Jewels of the Crown and the most discernable Badg of Soveraignty in a limited Monarchy they could not be ignorant of And therefore to deprive their King of that Prerogative when by their former Principles they professed him to be accountable to God only argues that they play'd the Knave with God and him too and if they thought that their future Practices would either have aton'd for them at the Hands of K. Iames for unkinging him ipso facto or recommended them to his present Majesty after such a proof of their Treachery to his Predecessor it demonstrates them to have been Fools Well but the Doctor who it would seem was of the Cabal tells us That they took the Word A free and lawful Meeting not to signify any Meeting of the People contrary to the King's Prerogative Authority and standing Laws but rather a Meeting to support all the Three Good Doctor this may perhaps please Fools but do you think that K. Iames will take this as a sufficient Excuse for
