To remember that the occasion of the commission contained in the act of pacification was in respect that after long debate between [George Gordon], marquis of Huntly and the noblemen of the other side, there was found so much intricacy and difficulty in many particulars as could not orderly be composed, and after a general survey it was esteemed that the odds and difference of the goods taken upon either side was not so great, and that there was more due to be restored by the Marquis of Huntly and that side to the other party than by the others to him or his side. Therefore, the said commission according to the tenor thereof was agreed by both parties.
