a_o account_n of_o the_o election_n of_o the_o convention_n of_o scotland_n with_o the_o scotch_a reason_n why_o the_o say_a convention_n shall_v proclaim_v their_o majesty_n of_o england_n william_n

concern_v this_o kingdom_n for_o whereas_o in_o one_o clause_n of_o your_o letter_n you_o insinuate_v your_o fear_n of_o a_o rupture_n or_o a_o disagreement_n at_o the_o meeting_n of_o our_o grand_a convention_n which_o will_v certain_o be_v the_o 14_o of_o this_o instant_a i_o assure_v you_o there_o be_v so_o little_a reason_n for_o your_o doubt_n that_o the_o general_a belief_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v that_o they_o will_v in_o nothing_o differ_v from_o the_o proceed_n of_o your_o convention_n as_o to_o the_o settlement_n of_o the_o crown_n but_o in_o the_o time_n for_o have_v so_o

here_o public_o already_o applaud_v and_o approve_v the_o wisdom_n and_o choice_n of_o england_n a_o instance_n of_o which_o be_v this_o paper_n therewith_o send_v you_o write_v as_o be_v suppose_v

in_o some_o part_n who_o will_v willing_o embroil_v we_o if_o possible_a but_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o a_o happy_a agreement_n of_o this_o heal_n convention_n in_o a_o general_n declare_v for_o their_o present_a majesty_n of_o england_n will_v confound_v all_o their_o device_n tho'_o it_o may_v be_v reasonable_o expect_v that_o allitrue_a scotsmen_n may_v by_o this_o time_n be_v full_o

conceive_v that_o we_o can_v pitch_v upon_o more_o feasible_a mean_n for_o the_o attain_v a_o settle_a and_o last_a peace_n than_o that_o which_o our_o elder_a sister_n england_n have_v already_o fix_v upon_o viz._n that_o the_o late_a king_n james_n the_o second_o have_v endeavour_v to_o subvert_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o break_v the_o original_a contract_n between_o

executive_a power_n both_o in_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o heir_n lineal_a and_o colateral_a so_o that_o the_o same_o be_v devolve_v back_o to_o the_o people_n who_o have_v also_o the_o legislative_a authority_n &_o consequent_o may_v of_o right_o give_v &_o dispose_v thereof_o by_o their_o representative_n for_o their_o future_a peace_n benefit_n security_n and_o government_n according_a to_o their_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o the_o government_n be_v speedy_o settle_v on_o sure_a and_o last_a foundation_n and_o consequent_o that_o such_o person_n or_o person_n be_v immediate_o place_v in_o the_o throne_n in_o who_o the_o nation_n have_v most_o reason_n to_o repose_v a_o entire_a confidence_n and_o therefore_o have_v proclaim_v the_o prince_n and_o princess_n of_o orange_n king_n and_o queen_n of_o england_n france_n and_o ireland_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o will_v easy_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v 1._o what_o great_a danger_n the_o say_v neble_a prince_n have_v expose_v himself_o to_o in_o rescue_v we_o from_o popery_n and_o slavery_n which_o otherwise_o will_v undoubted_o have_v overflow_v our_o land_n and_o therefore_o who_o can_v we_o imagine_v will_v be_v so_o careful_a to_o preserve_v all_o thing_n in_o their_o right_a channel_n as_o he_o that_o be_v at_o such_o pain_n to_o reduce_v they_o
