To all and sundry Our good Subjects whom these presents do or may concern Greeting The just Resentments We have of the rebellious courses taken by some in that Our Ancient Kingdom of Scotland by poisoning Our People with Principles inconsistent with true Piety and all humane Society as well as with Our Royal Government and of the humorous Factions of others who under pretext of re-presenting Grievances to Us have most unjustly both in Scotland and England Defamed Our Judicatures of Scotland and thereby weakened Our Authority therein represented All which did not hinder Us from endeavouring to quiet the one by Our late Proclamation and the other by a publick Hearing and Debate And being most desirous to cover all the Imperfections of Our Subjects and to remove the Fears and Jealousies whence they proceed We have therefore by Our Royal Authority and the undoubted Prerogative of Our Crown thought fit with the advice of Our Privy Council to Indemnifie Remit and Pardon with the Exceptions after specified all such as have been at Field or House-conventicles all such as are guilty of irregular administration of the Sacraments and other Schismatick Disorders all such as have been ingaged in the Rebellion 1666.
