I, Harry, lord Ker, have already acknowledged my offence to his majesty and asked his pardon, which I do now likewise to this honourable house of parliament, and for the scandalous words concerning [James Hamilton], marquis of Hamilton which were said by me, I confess them to be rash and groundless, and that I am sorry for the same. It is thus subscribed: Harry Kerr.
