a_o short_a historical_a account_n concern_v the_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o scotland_n and_o the_o estate_n dispose_v of_o it_o upon_o occasion_n as_o they_o think_v fit_a when_o fergus_n the_o first_o be_v choose_v king_n the_o estate_n give_v the_o crown_n to_o he_o his_o heir_n and_o successor_n and_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o oath_n fergus_n be_v decease_v leave_v two_o son_n ferleg_n and_o main_a who_o be_v but_o young_a be_v not_o for_o govern_v and_o the_o estate_n be_v convene_v choose_v a_o king_n and_o there_o be_v great_a contest_v among_o they_o it_o be_v object_v by_o one_o party_n that_o the_o crown_n have_v be_v give_v to_o fergus_n and_o his_o heir_n and_o the_o estate_n have_v confirm_v it_o by_o a_o oath_n they_o can_v not_o pass_v by_o his_o son_n and_o choose_v another_o king_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v plead_v that_o the_o estate_n shall_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v great_a danger_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o if_o they_o shall_v admit_v a_o chinned_a to_o be_v king_n and_o after_o be_v debate_v they_o come_v to_o this_o resolution_n that_o notwithstanding_o their_o oath_n give_v to_o fergus_n yet_o when_o their_o king_n die_v leave_v child_n who_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o age_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o govern_v that_o the_o next_o of_o the_o line_n who_o be_v fit_a to_o govern_v shall_v be_v king_n and_o that_o after_o his_o decease_n the_o crown_n shall_v return_v to_o the_o former_a king_n child_n upon_o which_o feritharis_n pergus_n his_o brother_n be_v choose_v king_n and_o this_o law_n continue_v for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o thousand_o year_n from_o feritharis_n his_o time_n to_o kenneth_n the_o three_o who_o as_o the_o historian_n say_v by_o force_n and_o fraud_n obtain_v this_o law_n to_o be_v change_v ferleg_n fergus_n his_o elder_a son_n when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n be_v ambitious_a to_o reign_v enter_v into_o a_o conspiracy_n against_o feritharis_n which_o be_v discover_v he_o be_v take_v and_o imprison_v but_o escape_v with_o some_o of_o his_o accomplice_n and_o few_o month_n after_o feritharis_n have_v die_v it_o be_v think_v he_o get_v wrong_a by_o ferleg_n and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o presumption_n of_o ferleg_n his_o former_a ambition_n and_o conspiracy_n and_o sudden_a slight_a ferleg_n by_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o the_o estate_n be_v condemn_v and_o deprive_v of_o the_o right_n and_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o main_a his_o brother_n be_v make_v king_n albeit_o by_o the_o law_n make_v in_o fergus_n the_o first_o be_v time_n the_o estate_n grant_v the_o crown_n to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o heir_n which_o be_v confirm_v by_o oath_n yet_o when_o the_o estate_n find_v it_o not_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o the_o crown_n shall_v descend_v upon_o the_o king_n child_n and_o immediate_a heir_n they_o confer_v it_o upon_o another_o of_o the_o same_o line_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o two_o son_n of_o durstus_n who_o albeit_o they_o be_v of_o age_n fit_a for_o govern_v when_o their_o father_n die_v yet_o the_o estate_n consider_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v admit_v any_o of_o durstus_n his_o child_n to_o the_o crown_n who_o have_v be_v a_o wicked_a king_n and_o have_v force_v his_o subject_n to_o a_o conspiracy_n against_o he_o the_o likeness_n of_o manner_n may_v make_v they_o continue_v in_o their_o father_n wickedness_n and_o the_o neereness_n of_o blood_n incite_v they_o to_o revenge_v therefore_o they_o pass_v by_o durstus_n his_o two_o son_n and_o choose_v ewen_v durstus_n his_o cusine_n german_n to_o be_v king_n in_o ferchard_n his_o reign_n the_o estate_n convene_v by_o their_o own_o authority_n and_o have_v cite_v the_o king_n to_o appear_v before_o they_o he_o refuse_v to_o appear_v and_o have_v retire_v to_o a_o strong_a castle_n the_o estate_n do_v take_v he_o out_o and_o bring_v he_o before_o they_o and_o have_v accuse_v he_o of_o many_o heinous_a crime_n and_o particular_o that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o pelagian_n heresy_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o other_o holy_a rite_n and_o he_o not_o be_v able_a to_o clear_v himself_o of_o the_o crime_n with_o which_o he_o be_v charge_v be_v put_v in_o prison_n and_o short_o after_o die_v king_n robert_n bruce_n when_o he_o be_v first_o settle_v upon_o the_o throne_n have_v only_o a_o daughter_n who_o by_o the_o law_n shall_v have_v succeed_v there_o be_v a_o new_a law_n make_v that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v die_v without_o male_a child_n his_o brother_n edward_n and_o his_o son_n shall_v succeed_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v die_v without_o child_n that_o then_o king_n robert_n daughter_n and_o her_o heir_n shall_v succeed_v to_o the_o crown_n but_o it_o be_v provide_v that_o the_o estate_n shall_v choose_v a_o husband_n for_o she_o that_o be_v most_o fit_a to_o govern_v for_o they_o think_v it_o be_v much_o more_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v choose_v their_o king_n than_o that_o the_o queen_n shall_v choose_v her_o husband_n and_o there_o after_o the_o king_n have_v a_o son_n and_o another_o daughter_n the_o entail_n be_v again_o alter_v and_o the_o crown_n be_v provide_v to_o king_n robert_n and_o his_o child_n and_o they_o fail_v to_o robert_n stewart_n the_o king_n grandchild_n by_o his_o elder_a daughter_n pass_v by_o his_o two_o

and_o make_v a_o new_a law_n exclude_v robert_n stewart_n and_o substitute_v alexander_n son_n to_o the_o earl_n of_o sutherland_n by_o king_n robert_n second_o daughter_n which_o the_o estate_n do_v likeways_o confirm_v by_o oath_n but_o alexander_n have_v die_v short_o after_o and_o king_n david_n be_v reconcile_v to_o robert_n stewart_n he_o be_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n restore_v to_o his_o own_o place_n in_o the_o succession_n the_o say_v robert_n who_o be_v the_o first_o king_n of_o the_o race_n of_o stewart_n be_v first_o marry_v to_o the_o earl_n of_o ross_n his_o daughter_n

be_v evident_o infer_v 1._o that_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n of_o this_o kingdom_n there_o be_v a_o original_a contract_n betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n by_o which_o their_o king_n be_v oblige_v to_o rule_v by_o law_n 2._o that_o when_o the_o king_n make_v invasion_n upon_o religion_n and_o the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o government_n the_o estate_n do_v conveen_v by_o their_o own_o authority_n and_o call_v their_o king_n in_o question_n for_o it_o 3._o that_o the_o estate_n have_v be_v in_o

or_o family_n albeit_o they_o confirm_v it_o by_o oath_n and_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n his_o heir_n and_o successor_n yet_o when_o their_o king_n break_v the_o original_a contract_n with_o the_o people_n and_o upon_o that_o ground_n the_o estate_n do_v think_v fit_a to_o lay_v aside_o any_o of_o their_o king_n or_o do_v alter_v the_o course_n of_o succession_n they_o think_v
