Ratification in favour of William Learmonth of Hill

Our sovereign lord and estates of this present parliament ratify, approve and confirm the letter of rehabilitation and restitution granted by his majesty under his highness's great seal of his kingdom of Scotland to William Learmonth of the Hill, being forfeited for the treasonable assisting of Francis [Stewart], sometime earl of Bothwell, and declare that the said William is fully restored by his majesty's most gracious mercy and pardon to his blood again, which, by his former crimes of treason, was blemished; and ordain this present act to be extended in ample form with all clauses needful according to the tenor of those letters of rehabilitation under his majesty's great seal as said is.
