An address to the Protestant interest in Scotland . Being an humble and seasonable warning, wherein is clearly demonstrated, the inexpediency and danger of repealing our penal laws against popery, or allowing that dangerous and idolatrous Religion to be openly profest within this Realm. More Particularly Shewing, I. That Popery is a False and Unscriptural Religion. II. That it is opposite to the Civil Constitution and Liberty of this Kingdom. III. That it is a Religion, which has hitherto been propagated and nourished only by Blood. IV. That the Penal Laws against it, in Scotland, were not founded in Persecution, but in Self-Defence. V. That a Repeal of the above Laws would appear to infer, in so far, a Breach of the Articles of the Union. VI. A comparative view of the Act of Parl. of the 11th and 12th of King William against Popery; and the Act of last Session in favour of the Professors of that superstition in England. With a postscript, Giving a short Account of the Popish Bill, Lately passed in Ireland: and an appendix Containing a Copy of the above Two Acts.
