Anent the supplicatioune presented by the assemblie against the booke callit The Large Declaratioune, whairof Doctor Balcanquall is challenged to be one of the authors, the commissioner represented that it is not expedient that this supplicationne be presented in ane parliamentarie way becaus it tendis to the renewing of the remembrance of these troubles and the causes thairof, which haif heirtofoir vexed this kingdome and ar now to be buried in oblivioune. And seing the said booke beirs inscriptione of his sacred majesties name, quhilk he will not disclame, it aught to be handled with more reverence then to be challenged in ane public way, quhilk evidentlie rubbis with his majesties honnour and can produce no better effect than ane answer to all assertiounes contrair to what is averred in the booke, and will frustrate the petitioners of thair intendit end. And thairfoir the commissioneris general desyred that gif the petitioners will goe on in this supplicatione, they should doe the same in that quiet humble way which may not trinch upon his majestie, bot will most readilie satisfie his majestie, quhilk aught to be thair first and maine desyre.
The Erles of Argyle and Rothes answered that the said booke containes so many wntrewthis, and is so dishonorable to his majestie and this haill natioune, and is so publik and dispersed through all the world, of purpose to incense neighbour nationes, and speallie Ingland, against ws, and to posses thame with prejudices against thair proceidings, and thairfoir the petitions ought to be presented in ane publik parliamentarie way, quhilk being legal and humble cannot in reasone offend his gracious majestie. The commissioneris general answered that the publik way will rather oblige his majestie to vindicate his honnour by ane answer for maintening that booke then procure any satisfactione from his majestie, becaus the king must ather mainteane that booke, gif it be challenged by ane publik way, or else acknowledge that he tooke armis upon unwarrantable grounds and falss informatione, whilk is so dishonourable that no good subject can desyre or expect the same. And now at this tyme it is unfitt to renew the memorie of what is past upon ather side, bot they are to be covered by ane act of oblivione.
