by their ample and cleare confession, Which the assembly
considereing, for the great solemnity of the action, and
being excommunicat by the synod, as also their wanting
ane minister in their own bounds, have appoynted them
upon Saturnday next, after prayer in tyme of divyne
service, to stand in publict in this kirk and give testimony
of there repentance, and to remove when the sermon is
ended, and appoynts Mr Ferquhar Frazer to preach on
Saturnday next for that effect, Furder it is enjoyned them
to stand in lyke manner on the Lords day next ensueing
both befoir and after noon, and Mr Ewin Cameron to
relax them, all which accordingly was done,
Dugald me Dugald of Dunawch, who was excommunicat
for his complyance and actuall rebellion with the enemies,
gave in his supplication, confesseing his great sin and
wickednes in so doeing against God and his covenant, and
his heavy sense of that sentence justly pronunced against
him, desyreing earnestly relaxation, the assembly did
appoynt some of their number to conferre with him and
then heard his own ample confession, Therfore they
appoynt him to begin his repentance here on Saturnday
next and on the next Lords day ensueing as is prescrybed
in the former act, And, because the most of his hostile
acts was done within the presbyterie of Lorn where he
had his residence, he is ordained to continue his repent¬
ance the next Lords day in Ardchattan, and Mr Hector
me Laine to preach there the said day, and the 3d Lords
day following he is to stand in the kirk of Kilmore, and there
to be relaxed by Mr Nicoll me Caiman upon his repentance.
Whereas the presbyterie of Sky could not safely hitherto
keep meetings with us in respect of the rebellion of the
yles, Therfore now, since God hes granted more safe pas¬
sage, the assembly ordaines all the members of that pres¬
byterie to be present at the next synod under the paine
of censure, and the moderator of the presbyterie to bring
the presbyterie book alongs with him.
