THE CROMARTIE CORRESPONDENCE.
which his Majesty bestowes on people of these principles ; and how pre-
judiciall it is, by discouraging the honest and loyall subjects : especially
how much all honest men are unsatisfied, and rogues insolently lifted up,
be the remission past to the Brodies. Yee shall represent the ill deeds
of these persones, ther undeservings of favour, and inconsiderablnes as to
good or ill service ; and what a prejudice the noise of so ample a remis-
sion to such persones, and dureing the sitting of the parliament, hath
occasioned to the King's effaires. Yee shall therfore earnestly desyre, that
by a letter, or instruction to his Commissioner, it may be recalled, and so to
satisfy the Parliament by leaveing them to their censure, as others are.
4. Yee shall represent to his Majesty, that ther be some persones who
were most active in the rebelliones against his father and himself, doe still
continue in ther bad principles ; and are hopefull, the Act of Indemnity
being once past, to screw themselfs into publick trust, and to overturne
what was done these two last yeares in this kingdome, and to ruine those
who caried on the samne. It is therfore much desyred by the parliament (and
it is the sense of honest men that nothing can be of more use nor security
to his Majesties interest then), that such should be excepted from publick
trust. Yee shall therefore urge that this exception in the Act of Indemnity
be allowed by his Majesty ; and that he warrand his commissioner and par-
liament, either by a letter, or by ane instruction under his royall hand, to
except from publick trust such as they know to have been most active and
malitious in the late rebelliones, and are yett discerned by them to continue
on these bad principles, not exceeding the number of fourteen persones.
5. Yee shall shew how much his Majestie's service suffers by the absence
of some of our prime country men at Court, it being generally beleeved that
they absent themselfs on purpose, so [as] not to have accession to what is passing
in this parliament, and therby raise new hopes in fanatickes ; and were it
