takeing away patronadges, the heritors and church session are authorized
to give a call to such persons as they shall thinke fitt to be there ministers ;
and seeing wee live at such a distance from our estait in that kingdome, it

earnestly recommend to you to informe yourselves of persons that are qualifyd
by law and fitt for the particular churches that they shall be called to, where
our interest is concerned ; and for that end write to our chamberlens and
others of your acquentance who live in these paroshes that are vacant, that
they may doe there utmost dilligence for provideing ministers well qualifyd
to such vacant parodies wherin any of our interest leys, and particularly to
the paroshes of Hawick, Castletoun, and Canobie, the first being the most
considerable mercet toun upon our grounds, the other two leying neer the
bordors ; therefor require men of proudence, as well as of piety and learning.
Your caire herein will add to the favours done to,
My Lords,
Your Lordships most humble servants,
Ann Buccleuch and Cornwalliss.
Cornwallis.
To the Earle of Leven and the Lord Viscount of Tarbat — These.
