THE Estates of the Kingdom of Scotland conveened at Edinburgh, on the 14th of March 1689 years, Tak­ing to Consideration the good Services done by the No­blemen, and Gentlemen of this Nation, who lately at London, did make and sign a Timous and Dutiful Address, to his Highness the Prince of Orange, Containing just and thankful Acknowledgments of the great Benefits done to the Nation, in delivering them from the eminent Encroachments on our Laws, and Fundamental Constitutions, and from the near Dangers, which threatned an Overturning of the Protestant Religion, and the humble Profer of their Lives and Fortunes to his Highness, for sustaining him in Prosecution of so good a Cause: As also desiring his Highness to accept on him the Administration of the Government of this Kingdom, until a Meeting of the Estates thereof were called, to Consult on a further Settlement. They do Ratifie, Approve, and Homologate the said Address, in all its Tenor and Contents: And Declares the same to have been an Act of Duty, tending to the good of the Protestant Religion in General, and of this Nation in Particular, in all its Concerns: And Ordains this Ratification, and Approbation to be forthwith Printed and Published, and to be a full Security in most ample form to every Person who did so Address, as if their Names were herein exprest.
