The case of the present afflicted clergy in Scotland truly represented to which is added for probation the attestation of many unexceptionable witnesses to every particular, and all the publick acts and proclamations of the convention and Parliament relating to the clergy / by a lover of the church and his country.

This is the Act, that in the Narrative is called, An Act for Thanks to the Rabble; The Persons to whom it relates, being these Zealots (who contrary to all the Laws of Religion and Humanity, contrary to the Laws of all Nations, and particularly to the standing Laws of this Kingdom, and contrary to the Prince's own Declaration, Feb. 6. 1688/9.) convened and continued in Arms, till they drove out all the regular Clergy in the West, and many in the South, and being in number about 8000 or above, overawed and threatned those concerned, to elect Members for the Convention; and at the Meeting of Estates, rushed in a Tumultuary and H••stile man∣ner into Edinburgh, planted themselves, without any publick Order or Commission, about and in the Parliament house, where, at every turn, they rail'd at, threatned, baffled and affronted the Bishops; nor were the ancient Nobility and G••ntry; who generally adhered to the ••pisc••pal Cause, better treated by them; the Terror whereof made many of the most eminent Mem∣bers never come near the House, and made many who came at first, soon after desert it; all this was considerably, before the Earl of Levin was, by the Convention, appointed to Command them: This being Matter of Fact well known to the Estates. I leave the World to judge how well these Men deserved this Act of Approbation.
