Procedure: the Lord Napier heard and commanded to return to the castle

[Archibald Napier], lord Napier being heard upon his supplication, declared he had done nothing against the law of God or nations or municipal law, and if the contrary should be tried, he submitted himself in all humility to the censure of the parliament, but desired them to be careful in their proceeding that nothing may be done derogatory to the glory of this nation.
