Was ever Iustice (to speak modestly) stretched so as in this Act; because the Government in the Proclamation of the Date April 13. had left the Mini∣sters of the West, who were forced by the Rabble from their Possessions, out of their Protection, which was all the difference mode by that Act, was it therefore not just to allow them any Tithes or other Debts due to them for several years before, and for which they had obtained fairly Decrees and Sentences in Courts of Iudicature, surely these Preachers, who by the Vio∣lence of the Rabble had possessed their places, had no legal or just pretence to any part of the Tithes or Stipends for which the others had served. With what face then, or pretence to common Iustice could this be called a Case depending before the Parliament.
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.
