I Find my Name Abused in a Late Pamphlet ( I suppose written by one Mr. George Ridpath ) as if I had sent , or Commissioned , or Ordered Mr. Andrew Johnston to counterfit the name of one Mitchell , to a Certificate without his consent . What past between Mr. Johnston and Mr. Mitchell I only know by Relation ; Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Johnston may reason this affair betwixt themselves as they see convenient . Let my Country men Read the following Declaration and then determine by the rules of honour and equitie , how far I am concerned in this Calumny .

Declaration by Mr. Andrew Johnston , December , 2d . 1693.

WHEREAS it is said in a Scandalous Pamphlet , Entituled the Scots Episcopal Innocence , That I forged the hand of Thomas Mitchell lately , in Cornhill , and affixed it to a Certificate , bearing that Johnston of Lockerby was Excommunicated for Adultery , which Certificate was inserted in a Book , Entituled , the Spirit of Calumny and Slander . The said Mr. Andrew Johnston declaire that I am ready to take my solemn Oath before any of the Judges in England , that Tho. Mitchell signed freely at my desire the said Certificate as I offered it , and as it was Inserted in the said Book : And that I know no other Certificate different f●om the former signed by him .

AND Whereas it is most Villanously said of me in the Pamphlet , Entituled the Scots Episcopal Innocence , That I was put upon this pretended Forgery by some of the Scots Clergy ; I do declare before God , and by my hopes of Heaven , that never any one of the Scots Clergy directed or advised me to procure any Certificate , but what might be freely had ; particularly that Dr. Monro , neither directly nor indirectly by any Order of his , or the least Insinuation prompted me to do any thing as is Scandalously Reported , and this I do again repeat , as I Hope for any Benefit by the merits of our Blessed Saviour .

Sic Subscribitur Andrew Johnston .
