<HEAD>A <HI>SPEECH</HI> Made by the Right Honourable the Earl of <HI>ARRAN,</HI> to the <HI>Scotch No|bility</HI> and <HI>Gentry,</HI> Met together at the <HI>Council Chamber</HI> in <HI>White-Hall,</HI> on the Eighth of <HI>January 1688,</HI> about an Addre&s;s to His Highne&s;s the <HI>PRINCE</HI> of <HI>ORANGE,</HI> to take upon him the Government of the Kingdom of <HI>SCOTLAND.</HI></HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>MY LORDS.</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I Have all the Honour and Deferrence for the Prince of <HI>ORANGE</HI> imaginable. I think him a Brave Prince, and that we own him great Obligations, in Contributing &s;o much for our Delivery from <HI>Popery.</HI> But while I pay him tho&s;e Prai&s;es, I cannot Violate my Duty to my Ma&s;ter. I mu&s;t di&s;tingui&s;h be|tween his <HI>Popery</HI> and his <HI>Per&s;on.</HI> I di&s;like the one, but have &s;worn and do owe Allegeance to the other; which makes it impo&s;&s;ible for me to &s;ign away that which I cannot forbear believing is the KING my Ma&s;ter's Right. For his pre&s;ent ab&s;ence from us, by being in <HI>France,</HI> can no more affect our Duty, than his longer ab&s;ence from us in <HI>Scotland</HI> has done all this while.</P>
<P><HI>My Lords,</HI><LB> The Prince in his Paper de&s;ires our Advice, mine is, That we &s;hould move his Highne&s;s to de&s;ire His Maje&s;ty to Return and Call a Free Parliament, for the Securing our Religion and Property, according to the known Laws of that Kingdom; which, in my humble Opinion, will at la&s;t be found the Be&s;t Way to Heal all our Breaches.</P>
