THE SPEECH Of his Grace JAMES Duke of Queensberry , his Majesties high Commissioner to the PARLIAMENT . The 30 of May When Adjourned to the 20 of June . My Lords and Gentlemen ,

I Am Troubled with such a Cold and Hoarsness , that not being able to Speak much , nor in a Condition to stay any time here ; I shall therefore only tell you , that as I was ever Firm and Faithful to my King , so I was ever Zealous for the Honour and Interest of my Countrey : And at this time I hop'd to have done Acceptable Service to both . For I can boldly say , that I have Power and Instructions , for every thing that appear'd Necessary or Convenient for the Good and Advantage of the Nation , as to their Religion , Property , Liberty , Trade , and particularly what could be of most solid Use to our African and Indian Company . But several things have occurr'd , wherein I find my self obligd to Consult His Majesty , and so of necessity must Adjourn for some Days .

Edinburgh , Printed by the Heirs and Successors of Andrem Anderson , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty , Anne Dom. 1700.
