This Act and Proclamation Penned, and put in Form by such as before professed Christ Jesus (for in the Council then had Papists neither power nor voice) It was publicly Proclaimed at the Market-Cross of Edinburgh upon Monday the day aforesaid. No man reclaimed, nor made repugnance to it, except the Earle of Arran only; who in open audience of the Herald, protested, That he disassented that any Protection or Defence should be made to the Queens Domestics, 1or to any that came from France, to offend Gods Majesty, and to violate the Laws of the Realm, more then any other Subjects: For Gods Law had pronounced death to the Idolater; and the Laws of the Realm had appointed punishment for sayers and hearers of the Mass; which, said he, I here protest, be Universally observed; and that none be exempted, until such time as a Law also publicly made, and also consonant to the Law of God, have disannulled the former. Hereupon he took Documents and Acts, as the Tenor of this his Protestation witnesseth.
