into_o all_o its_o court_n which_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o prevent_v ecclesiastical_a ambition_n it_o be_v a_o effectual_a restraint_n upon_o they_o from_o decree_a such_o doctrine_n as_o passive_a obedience_n and_o hinder_v they_o from_o preach_a mankind_n out_o of_o their_o life_n and_o estate_n into_o a_o slavish_a subjection_n to_o prince_n have_v it_o be_v otherwise_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o think_v that_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o country_n will_v not_o have_v carry_v so_o much_o as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o last_o general_n assembly_n from_o all_o this_o it_o will_v natural_o result_v that_o its_o incumbent_n upon_o our_o parliament_n to_o take_v measure_n for_o secure_v the_o church_n against_o such_o threat_n as_o the_o faction_n make_v use_v of_o to_o induce_v the_o minister_n to_o a_o compliance_n this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o reasonable_a because_o though_o presbyterian_a minister_n may_v comply_v with_o the_o design_n of_o court_n against_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n bishop_n must_v and_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o dangerous_a because_o they_o have_v a_o power_n in_o the_o legislation_n and_o be_v common_o so_o many_o vote_n on_o the_o court_n side_n whereas_o by_o the_o present_a constitution_n the_o clergy_n have_v no_o such_o power_n i●_n the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n shall_v demand_v from_o his_o majesty_n a_o further_a assurance_n for_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o our_o neighbour_n in_o england_n have_v from_o time_n to_o time_n do_v as_o to_o they_o and_o wherein_o his_o majesty_n do_v as_o ready_o comply_v with_o they_o to_o this_o end_n it_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v no_o unreasonable_a demand_n if_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o bishopric_n that_o be_v not_o already_o appropriate_v to_o pious_a uses_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o use_n of_o our_o american_n colony_n this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o less_o to_o be_v object_v against_o because_o the_o establishment_n of_o our_o plantation_n tend_v to_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n it_o will_v be_v a_o effectual_a way_n to_o prevent_v the_o restitution_n of_o episcopacy_n in_o this_o nation_n which_o can_v never_o be_v do_v without_o throw_v all_o into_o confusion_n again_o which_o will_v utter_o obstruct_v our_o trade_n beside_o it_o be_v but_o a_o just_a

that_o those_o revenue_n have_v fall_v to_o the_o king_n as_o ultimus_n hoeres_n we_o answer_v that_o as_o we_o never_o see_v a_o king_n among_o we_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n we_o shall_v augment_v his_o revenue_n that_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n have_v appropriate_v to_o public_a use_n the_o irish_a forfeiture_n which_o by_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o law_n sell_v to_o the_o king_n and_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v oblige_v by_o the_o act_n establish_v our_o company_n to_o obtain_v a_o reparation_n of_o their_o loss_n at_o the_o public_a charge_n all_o this_o be_v consider_v such_o a_o dem●nd_n can_v any_o way_n seem_v unreasonable_a and_o so_o much_o the_o less_o that_o this_o fund_z be_v already_o settle_a and_o will_v be_v no_o new_a burden_n to_o the_o subject_a these_o thing_n we_o have_v insist_v the_o more_o upon_o because_o some_o people_n take_v the_o opportunity_n to_o improve_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o assembly_n to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o the_o presbyterian_o and_o open_o boast_v of_o it_o as_o a_o handle_n to_o restore_v episcopacy_n but_o we_o hope_v that_o neither_o this_o nor_o any_o fu●ure_a parliament_n of_o scotland_n will_v be_v so_o impolitic_a as_o to_o attempt_v that_o it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v the_o presbyterian_o look_v upon_o their_o form_n of_o church-government_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n that_o most_o of_o they_o have_v suffer_v for_o it_o and_o some_o hundred_o of_o they_o have_v seal_v it_o with_o their_o blood_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n they_o shall_v prefer_v it_o to_o all_o temporal_a advantage_n whatever_o and_o show_v more_o than_o a_o ordinary_a compliance_n with_o what_o they_o be_v tell_v be_v the_o mind_n of_o a_o prince_n who_o family_n and_o person_n they_o have_v reason_n to_o esteem_v and_o to_o who_o they_o have_v be_v more_o oblige_v than_o ever_o they_o be_v to_o any_o there_o be_v so_o much_o the_o less_o reason_n to_o wonder_v at_o their_o compliance_n when_o we_o consider_v what_o endeavour_n there_o have_v be_v to_o persuade_v they_o that_o the_o great_a zealot_n for_o our_o american_n settlement_n be_v their_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o seek_v their_o overthrow_n nor_o indeed_o have_v we_o any_o reason_n to_o wonder_v at_o the_o opposition_n of_o the_o court_n when_o his_o majesty_n be_v inform_v that_o the_o aff●ir_n of_o darien_n be_v a_o jacobite_n design_n at_o the_o bottom_n and_o that_o a_o presbyterian_a lord_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o possess_v with_o this_o calumny_n as_o to_o assert_v it_o in_o opposition_n to_o our_o colony_n in_o the_o english_a house_n of_o peer_n therefore_o it_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v incumbent_a upon_o our_o parliament_n to_o inquire_v into_o the_o author_n of_o such_o malicious_a suggestion_n this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o necessary_a because_o our_o enemy_n endeavour_n to_o maintain_v their_o own_o cause_n by_o create_v in_o we_o a_o mutual_a distrust_n of_o one_o

the_o parliament_n to_o maintain_v their_o authority_n which_o be_v so_o manifest_o violate_v for_o this_o will_v be_v a_o direct_a breach_n of_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n which_o
