<HEAD>The Addre&s;s pre&s;ented to His Maje&s;ty at <HI>Ken&s;ington</HI> <DATE>the 11th. day of <HI>June</HI> 1700.</DATE> by the Lord <HI>Ro&s;s,</HI> and the Lairds of <HI>Grubbet, Torwoodlie</HI> and <HI>Dollary,</HI> Commi&s;sioners appointed by the other Members of Parliament, who &s;ub&s;cribed the &s;ame.</HEAD>
<P>VVE Your Maje&s;ty's mo&s;t Loyal and Dutiful Subjects, the Sub&s;cribing Noblemen, Barons, and Burge&s;&s;es of this your An|cient Kingdom of <HI>SCOTLAND,</HI> Members of the &s;ame Parliament which happily Settled Your Maje&s;ty's Govern|ment over Us, and has ever &s;ince given continued Proofs of Zeal and Affection to your Maje&s;ty's Service in the &s;everal Se&s;&s;i|ons thereof: Do humbly Repre&s;ent to Your Maje&s;ty, that having according to Your Maje&s;ty's Royal Appointment, met together in Parliament, with full Re&s;olution to have proceeded in the like good Intentions, for the Honour and Intere&s;t of your Maje&s;ty and People;</P>
<P>It is to Our un&s;peakable Grief and Di&s;appointment, that not only there has been no Return given to the Unanimous Addre&s;s of the la&s;t Se&s;&s;ion of Parliament, Expre&s;&s;ing the whole Nation's Concern in the <HI>INDIAN</HI> and <HI>AFRICAN</HI> Company: But al&s;o after a Motion made in this Se&s;&s;ion of Parliament for a Re&s;olve, <HI>That Our Colony of</HI> CALEDONIA in DARIEN, <HI>is a Legal and Rightful Settlement, in the Terms of the Act of Parliament 1965. And that the Parliament would Mantain and Support the &s;ame.</HI> Members beginning to Rea&s;on thereupon, were Inter|rupted by an Adjournment, which We Humbly Conceive is not agreeable to the 40 Act of the <HI>11th, Parliament</HI> of <HI>King James</HI> the 6. Where it is promitted, <HI>That nothing &s;hall be done or Commanded, which might Directly or Indirectly Prejudge the Liberty of free Voting, and Rea&s;oning of the E|states of Parliament, or any of them in all time coming.</HI></P>
<P>And thereafter, by a Sub&s;equent Adjournment, from the Thirtieth day of <HI>May</HI> in&s;tant, to the Twentieth day of <HI>June</HI> next, the Parliament was not permitted to come to any Re&s;olution, in the pre&s;&s;ing Concerns of the Nation; which we cannot think con&s;i&s;tent with that Article of Our Claim of Right, whereby it is Declared, <HI>That for the Redre&s;s of all Grievances, and for the Amending, Strengthning, and Pre&s;erving of the Laws, Par|liaments ought to be frequently called and allowed to Sit, and the Freedom of Speech and Debate &s;ecured to the Members.</HI></P>
<P>We do therefore in all Humility and Earne&s;tne&s;s, Intreat, That Your Maje&s;ty will be graciou&s;ly plea&s;ed, to allow your Parliament to Meet at the Day to which it is now Adjourned; and to fit as long as may be Nece&s;&s;ary, for Redre&s;&s;ing the Grievances of the Na|tion, A&s;&s;erting its ju&s;t Rights and Priviledges, as well at Home as Abroad, in its Colony of CALEDONIA, And for En|acting &s;uch Laws as may be for the Advancement and Security of Religion, the Honour of your Maje&s;ty, and the true Intere&s;t of this Nation. We are</P>
<CLOSER><SIGNED>May it plea&s;e your Maje&s;ty, <HI>Your Maje&s;ty's mo&s;t Dutiful, most Loyal, and mo&s;t Obedient Subjects and Servants.</HI>
