[1641/7/11]*[print] [email] [cite] [preceding] [following]
In respect the parliament has now resolved to sit still, it is the humble motion of [Archibald Campbell], earl of Argyll that seeing there are many matters already proposed which require a competent time for preparation, that therefore it may be declared that no other thing be taken to consideration before 10 August, or any such competent time, that may concern any particular estate without consent of the estate so interested.
It being voted, the estates agree and declare that they will sit still only for preparation and accommodation of business and not for concluding or determining matters in acts of parliament or sentences definitive before 17 August next, unless the parliament shall find an urgent necessity for the peace and good of the country to require the same.
