Procedure: twenty-first article read and voting on amendment

Then the twenty-first article of union was read and, after reasoning, it was moved to add a clause thereto in these terms: subject nevertheless to such alterations as the parliament of Great Britain shall think fit. And, after further reasoning thereon, two states of a vote were offered, the first in these terms, approve the article or not, the second in these terms, add the clause or not, and after some reasoning which should be the state of the vote, first or second, it was agreed that the members' votes shall be marked and that the list of their names as they vote shall be printed and recorded.

Then the vote was put which shall be the state of the vote, first or second, and it carried first.
