unto_o his_o grace_n his_o majesty_n high_a commissioner_n and_o the_o honourable_a estate_n of_o parliament_n the_o petition_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o southerland_n humble_o show_v that_o where_o i_o have_v in_o a_o former_a petition_n represent_v to_o your_o grace_n and_o the_o honourable_a estate_n of_o parliament_n the_o circumstance_n of_o my_o grand_a child_n the_o present_a viscount_n of_o arbuthnet_n and_o his_o brother_n and_o sister_n upon_o the_o read_n thereof_o knox_n be_v out_o of_o town_n there_o be_v a_o long_a day_n allow_v to_o he_o to_o see_v and_o answer_v but_o he_o be_v now_o return_v it_o be_v hope_v that_o your_o grace_n and_o lordship_n will_v ordain_v he_o to_o answer_v the_o say_a petition_n and_o what_o far_o be_v represent_v in_o this_o against_o friday_n nixt_v peremptory_a but_o because_o in_o the_o former_a petition_n i_o do_v condescend_v upon_o a_o competent_a number_n of_o friend_n on_o the_o father_n side_n and_o the_o like_a number_n upon_o the_o mother_n side_n who_o i_o crave_v to_o be_v appoint_v administrator_n to_o my_o grand_a child_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o clear_v what_o i_o do_v design_n by_o the_o foresay_a proposal_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a upon_o due_a consideration_n it_o will_v be_v find_v both_o just_a and_o necessary_a and_o 1mo_fw-la the_o said_n child_n be_v both_o fatherless_a and_o motherless_a and_o destitute_a of_o all_o tutor_n for_o as_o i_o former_o represent_v the_o lord_n of_o session_n have_v most_o just_o reduce_v the_o testament_n and_o nomination_n of_o tutor_n therein_o contain_v as_o be_v impose_v upon_o the_o late_a viscount_n the_o same_o never_o have_v be_v read_v to_o he_o and_o it_o be_v also_o evident_o instruct_v that_o the_o person_n who_o be_v nominat_fw-la to_o be_v tutor_n do_v malverse_a by_o intromet_v summary_o with_o the_o writ_n and_o as_o there_o be_v now_o no_o tutor_n testamentars_n so_o knox_n can_v never_o be_v serve_v tutor_n of_o law_n because_o beside_o that_o without_o reflection_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o manage_v affair_n of_o such_o weight_n and_o importance_n as_o the_o present_a viscount_n be_v so_o there_o be_v likewise_o competent_a objection_n against_o he_o viz._n that_o he_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unsufficiency_n do_v interdict_v himself_o in_o so_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o tutory_a to_o sir_n thomas_n burnet_n of_o lie_n and_o some_o other_o of_o the_o present_a viscount_n relation_n on_o the_o father_n side_n and_o this_o objection_n be_v propon_v when_o he_o endeavour_v to_o expede_n his_o service_n before_o the_o macer_n and_o lord_n of_o session_n the_o same_o be_v sustain_v and_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o depone_v if_o there_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v any_o such_o agreement_n betwixt_o he_o and_o the_o say_a relation_n and_o albeit_o he_o do_v depon_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o agreement_n yet_o neither_o he_o nor_o sir_n thomas_n burnet_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o agreement_n draw_v up_o albeit_o the_o same_o be_v not_o now_o extant_a and_o that_o if_o the_o service_n go_v on_o he_o will_v be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o nominal_a tutor_n and_o the_o administration_n will_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o other_o relation_n and_o this_o objection_n can_v very_o soon_o be_v determine_v by_o your_o grace_n and_o lordship_n and_o if_o i_o prevail_v it_o will_v then_o follow_v of_o course_n that_o in_o justice_n a_o competent_a number_n of_o friend_n be_v appoint_v as_o tutor_n dative_n and_o that_o either_o by_o your_o grace_n and_o lordship_n appointment_n or_o upon_o your_o recommendation_n by_o the_o appointment_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o exchequer_n but_o 2do_n if_o knox_n and_o the_o viscount_n relation_n on_o the_o father_n side_n do_v prevail_v it_o will_v endanger_v both_o the_o viscount_n estate_n and_o his_o brother_n and_o sister_n education_n for_o they_o will_v necessary_o fall_v under_o the_o management_n of_o these_o friend_n who_o have_v already_o malverse_v and_o who_o nomination_n and_o right_n of_o tutory_a be_v reduce_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n and_o it_o can_v never_o be_v expect_v that_o they_o will_v give_v better_a advice_n in_o the_o management_n of_o the_o present_a viscount_n affair_n than_o they_o give_v in_o the_o late_a viscount_n time_n and_o what_o they_o do_v then_o advise_v do_v almost_o tend_v to_o his_o ruin_n for_o 1mo_fw-la they_o get_v the_o late_a viscount_n persuade_v to_o enter_v into_o a_o agreement_n with_o glenbervy_a sir_n thomas_n burnet_n uncle_n most_o disadvantageous_a upon_o the_o viscount_n part_n and_o so_o unequal_a that_o the_o same_o be_v quarrel_v by_o i_o and_o some_o of_o my_o friend_n it_o be_v pass_v from_o and_o no_o person_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o mantain_n the_o justice_n of_o it_o 2do_fw-la i_o find_v that_o the_o say_a viscount_n have_v be_v thus_o impose_v upon_o i_o persuade_v he_o to_o farm_v his_o estate_n to_o knox_n and_o findowrie_n whereby_o he_o will_v have_v pay_v yearly_o to_o the_o late_a viscountess_n dowager_n then_o alive_a her_o annuity_n his_o whole_a anualrent_n and_o near_o ten_o thousand_o mark_n of_o principal_a sum_n and_o beside_o he_o reserve_v a_o competent_a subsistence_n to_o himself_o and_o family_n but_o his_o relation_n in_o my_o absence_n quick_o overturn_v this_o settlement_n and_o then_o they_o engage_v he_o in_o a_o contract_n with_o alexander_n inn_n whereby_o he_o be_v constitute_v factor_n and_o sir_n thomas_n burnet_n become_v bind_v as_o cautioner_n for_o he_o since_o which_o time_n there_o have_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o principal_a sum_n pay_v albeit_o the_o say_v viscountess_n her_o annuity_n do_v fall_v by_o reason_n of_o her_o death_n to_o the_o late_a viscount_n and_o for_o prevent_v all_o objection_n that_o may_v be_v make_v or_o insinuate_v against_o my_o daughter_n that_o she_o have_v some_o hand_n in_o the_o unfortunate_a management_n of_o the_o late_a viscount_n affair_n it_o shall_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o she_o restrict_v herself_o for_o these_o many_o year_n pass_v to_o 800_o work_n yearly_a with_o which_o small_a sum_n and_o what_o money_n and_o other_o she_o get_v from_o her_o mother_n and_o i_o she_o mantain_v herself_o and_o her_o whole_a child_n in_o clothes_n &_o pay_v she_o own_o &_o their_o servant_n fies_z so_o that_o the_o mismanagement_n can_v only_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o say_a viscount_n relation_n who_o both_o impose_v upon_o he_o in_o make_v the_o agreement_n with_o alexander_n inn_n and_o in_o state_v of_o the_o account_n with_o he_o 3tio_fw-la since_o the_o viscount_n death_n and_o the_o time_n that_o he_o be_v on_o death_n bed_n it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o anxious_a they_o have_v be_v to_o enhance_v the_o management_n of_o the_o present_a viscount_n affair_n by_o impose_v on_o he_o when_o in_o a_o rage_a fever_n a_o testament_n

some_o person_n by_o their_o order_n do_v enter_v into_o the_o say_a house_n and_o take_v out_o the_o victual_n and_o dispose_v of_o it_o and_o as_o be_v inform_v at_o a_o price_n far_o below_o what_o the_o factor_n have_v sell_v it_o for_o and_o all_o this_o be_v premise_v it_o be_v leave_v to_o your_o grace_n and_o lordship_n to_o determine_v if_o it_o be_v not_o more_o consonant_n to_o justice_n that_o the_o estate_n shall_v be_v manage_v by_o a_o equal_a number_n of_o friend_n of_o both_o father_n side_n and_o mother-side_n and_o that_o their_o interest_n shall_v be_v confirm_v by_o

to_o exclude_v all_o my_o daughter_n relation_n from_o the_o same_o and_o now_o in_o the_o interval_n and_o vacation_n of_o the_o session_n there_o can_v be_v no_o remeid_v but_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o this_o honourable_a court_n and_o the_o viscount_n and_o his_o brother_n and_o sister_n their_o case_n can_v admit_v of_o no_o delay_n for_o year_n and_o day_n be_v now_o near_o run_v since_o the_o time_n of_o their_o father_n decease_n and_o thereafter_o the_o viscount_n will_v be_v harrass_v with_o multitude_n of_o process_n at_o the_o instance_n of_o his_o father_n creditor_n when_o he_o will_v have_v none_o to_o look_v after_o he_o or_o defend_v he_o and_o last_o as_o to_o to_o the_o young_a child_n and_o who_o be_v destitute_a of_o provision_n be_v six_o in_o number_n one_o
