J heare that Charles Stuart hath laid a very great designe both in England and Ireland, but as yett I heare of nothing that hee hath written over to this Country, concerning that businesse. I am confident if hee had, I should have heard of itt, but I could wish that for the setling of the mindes of this Nation, there were at present soe much power given to some Judges upon the plase here for the carrying on of the businesse of. the Civil Courts of Justice as they used to have . . . and likewise the Act of Union, & pardon, and Grace, and that the Articles that were given be my self upon the setling of this Country upon the late Rebellion may be confirmed, wch would bee a meanes to settle the mindes of this people very much, and truly soe they had but Justice open, & these things assured to them, I doe believe they would be generalie well satisfied with the Gov- ernment, but till this be done their mindes are in a distracted condition.’’ Ete. Lord Warriston, to whom this letter is addressed, fled to Rouen at the ‘‘ Restoration,’’ was arrested there, tried before the Scottish parliament, and hanged at Edinburgh.
