Prayers said.
Rolls called.
Minuts of the last sederunt read.
Warrand granted to the barons and freeholders of the shire of Fyfe to meet on Tuesday the twenty ninth instant to elect a commissioner in place of Sir Archbald Hope of Rankeillor, deceased.
Moved that according to the last minuts the parliament should now proceed to the consideration of the articles of union.
Moved that the members of parliament may yet be allowed eight days further to consider more deliberately the articles and minuts, and, after some reasoning, it was put to the vote proceed presently to the consideration of the articles of union or continue the consideration thereof till the first sederunt next week, and it carried proceed.
Whereupon the first article of union was read, as also the minuts of the proceedings of the commissioners for the treaty relative thereto, and her majesties commission to the commissioners for the treaty on behalf of this kingdom were likeways read. And, after some reasoning and discoursing thereupon, the further consideration thereof was delayed till the next sederunt of parliament.
Then the lord chancellour, by order of her majesties high commissioner, adjourned the parliament till Thursday next at ten of the clock.
