To

by

of

twentie
sixth
day
of
Januarie
,

And

And

Have
restricted
to

of

,
as
well
annaxed
as
unannexed
,
whereof
accompt
hath
been
made
in
Exchequer
,
and
of
the
principalitie
unlawfully
disponed
by
our
Predecessors
:
against
the
lawes
and
Acts
then
standing
,
and
to
the
annuling
of

and
other
dispositions
of
whatsoever
lands
,
teinds
,
partronages
,
and

formerly

to

And
of
any
other
lands
and
benefices
mortified
and
devoted
to
pious
uses
:
And
of
Regalities
and
heritable
offices
,
and
of
the
change
from
the
ancient
holdings
of
ward
and
reliefe
to
blensh
or
taxt
ward
,
since
the
yeer
of
God
1540
yeeres
.
And
because
We
were
unwilling
to
enter
in
processe
with
our
Subjects
anent
the
premisses
,
but
rather
desired
to
take
a
faire
course
with
all
such
as
would
voluntarily
treat
with
Us
or
our
Commissioners
there-anent
.
THEREFORE
We
were
pleased
by
our
Commission
of
the
date
at
White-hall
the
seventeenth
day
of
January
,
1627
yeeres
,
to
appoint
certaine
of
our
Nobilitie
,
Clergie
,
Gentrie
,
Barons
,
and
Burrowes
,
to
be
commissioners
,
to
treat
and
deal
betwixt
Us
and
our
Subjects
,
anent
the
premisses
.
And
albeit
the
said
Commission
hath
made
a
good
progresse
in
the
said
matter
of
erection
and
teinds
:
and
that
a
great
number
of
our
subjects
,
having
interest
therein
;
have
subscribed
to
us
generall
submissions
,
whereupon
We
have
given
forth
our
severall
determinations
for
the
good
of
our
Subjects
,
and
establishing
of
the
perpetuall
quietnesse
,
and
peace
of
that
our
ancient
Kingdome
;
Yet
it
is
certaine
that
many
of
these
who
have
interest
in
erections
and
teinds
,
lye
forth
,
and
have
not
subscribed
the
said
generall
submissions
.
Like
as
also
the
remanant
points
of
our
said
Commission
anent
the
patronage
of
Kirks
,
rights
,
and
infeftments
of
our
Propertie
,
and
Principalitie
,
Regalities
,
Heritable
offices
,
and
Changed
tenours
of
holding
in
blensh
or
taxt
Wards
,
are
not
as
yet
begun
to
be
handled
and
treated
,
and
cannot
be
possibly
finished
and
closed
,
before
the
expiring
of
the
time
and
yeers
of
interruption
,
allowed
by
the
said
Act.
And
because
We
will
not
suffer
our selfe
or
our
Successors
to
be
prejudged
by
delay
of
the
execution
of
the
said
commission
of
the
lawfull
actions
competent
to
us
and
them
,
for
reducing
of
such
rights
of
the
premisses
,
to
the
which
We
have
undoubted
interest
.
And
seeing
a
multitude
cannot
be
commodiously
summoned
and
warned
personally
,
or
at
their
dwelling
places
in
so
short
time
as
is
to
run
of
the
said
time
of
prescription
;
Therefore
and
for
preservation
of
our
rights
and
actions
competent
to
us
and
our
Successors
anent
the
premisses
,
Necessary
it
is
,
that
some
solemne
Act
be
done
by
us
,
to
testifie
our
will
and
resolution
,
to
prosecute
our
said
actions
in
the
owne
time
,
if
the
same
be
not
taken
away
and
removed
by
the
said
commission
,
which
we
thinke
cannot
be
more
properly
and
conveniently
done
,
nor
by
inserting
of
this
our
declaration
in
your
Bookes
of
Session
,
and
directing
of
Letters
of
publication
thereupon
,
certifying
all
our
Lieges
who
have
interest
in
the
premisses
,
by
open
proclamation
at
the
market
crosse
of
our
Burgh
of
Edinburgh
,
&
other
places
needfull
,
of
this
our
pleasure
,
will
and
declaration
.
And
that
the
same
be
declared
by
you
,
to
have
the
strength
,
force
,
vertue
,
and
power
of
a
legall
and
perfect
interruption
;
And
therefore
,
We
require
you
immediately
after
the
sight
hereof
,
to
cause
insert
these
presents
in
your
Bookes
of
Session
:
and
to
declare
the
same
to
have
the
force
of
a
legall
and
lawfull
interruption
,
and
to
direct
Letters
of
publication
thereupon
,
in
forme
as
effeires
.
Which
,
not
doubting
you
will
doe
,
We
bid
you
,
farewell
.

To

;
Have
restricted
to

of

of
our
Crowne
,
as
well

as
unannexed
,
whereof
accompt

and
of
the

unlawfully

to

reliefe
to
blensh
and
taxt
ward
,
since
the
yeare
of
God
,
1540
yeares
.
And
because
we
were
unwilling
to
enter
in
processe
with
our
Subjects
anent
the
premisses
,
but
rather
desired
to
take
a
faire
course
with
all
such
as
would
voluntarily
treat
with
Us
or
our
commssioners
there-anent
:
THEREFORE
We
were
pleased
by
our
commission
of
the
date
at
White-hall
the
seventeenth
day
of
Januarie
,
1627
yeares
;
To
appoint
certain
of
our
Nobilitie
,
Clergie
,
Gentrie
,
Barons
,
and
Burrowes
,
to
be
commssioners
to
treat
and
deal
betwixt
Us
and
our
Subjects
,
in
the
premisses
:
And
albeit
the
said
commission
hath
made
a
good
progresse
in
the
said
matter
of
erections
and
teinds
,
and
that
a
great
number
of
our
subjects
having
interest
therein
,
have
subscribed
unto
us
generall
submissions
,
whereupon
We
have
given
forth
our
severall
determinations
for
the
good
of
our
subjects
,
and
establishing
the
perpetuall
quietnesse
and
peace
of
that
our
ancient
Kingdome
;
Yet
it
is
certaine
,
that
many
of
these
who
have
interest
in
erections
and
teinds
,
lye
forth
,
and
have
not
subscribed
the
said
generall
submissions
:
Like
as
also
the
remanent
points
of
our
said
commission
anent
the
patronage
of
kirks
,
rights
,
infeftments
of
our
Propertie
and
Principalitie
,
Regalities
,
Heritable
office
,
and
Changed
tenour
of
holdings
in
blensh
,
or
taxt
Wards
,
are
not
as
yet
begun
to
be
handled
and
treated
,
and
cannot
possibly
be
finished
and
closed
,
before
the
expiring
of
the
time
and
yeares
of
the
interruption
allowed
by
the
said
act
.
And
because
we
will
not
suffer
our self
nor
our
successors
to
be
prejudged
,
by
delay
of
the
execution
of
the
said
commission
,
of
the
lawfull
actions
competent
to
Us
&
them
for
reducing
such
rights
of
the
premisses
,
unto
the
which
we
have
undoubted
interest
;
And
seeing
a
multitude
cannot
be
commodiously
summoned
and
warned
personally
,
and
at
their
dwelling
places
,
in
so
short
time
as
is
to
run
of
the
said
time
of
prescription
:
Therefore
,
and
for
preservation
of
our
rights
and
actions
competent
of
Us
and
our
successors
anent
the
premisses
,
necessarie
it
is
,
that
some
solemne
Act
be
done
by
Us
,
to
testifie
our
will
and
resolution
,
to
prosecute
our
said
actions
in
the
owne
time
,
if
the
same
be
not
taken
away
and
removed
by
the
said
commission
,
which
we
thinke
cannot
be
more
properly
and
conveniently
done
,
nor
by
inserting
of
that
our
declaration
in
your
bookes
of
Session
,
and
directing
of
Letters
of
publication
thereupon
:
certifying
all
our
Lieges
who
have
interest
in
the
premisses
,
by
open
proclamation
at
the
market
crosse
of
Edinburgh
,
and
other
places
needfull
,
of
that
our
pleasure
,
and
declaration
:
and
that
the
same
be
declared
by
you
,
to
have
the
strength
,
force
,
power
,
and
vertue
of
a
legall

,
We

you
immediately
after
the

hereof
,
to
cause

these
presents
in

you
will
doe
,
We
