AN ORDER Of His HIGHNESS the Prince of ORANGE. FOR the better preventing Disorders that may happen in any Borough, Corporation, or other Place of Election of Members for the intended Convention, by any Soldiers quartered in those Places; And that such Elections may be carried on with the greater Freedom, and without any Colour of Force or Restraint, We do hereby strictly Charge and Require all Colonels and Officers in Chief with any Regiment, Troop, or Company, to cause such Regiments, Troops, or Companies to March out of the Quarters where any such Election shall be made,( the several garrisons only excepted) the day before the same be made, to the next adjoining Town or Towns, being not appointed for any Election, and not to return to their first Quarters until the said respective Elections be made and fully completed; Wherein they are not to fail, as they will answer the Contrary at their Peril. Given at St. James's the Fifth Day of January 1688 / 9 W.H. Prince of Orange. By His Highness's Command, C. HUYGENS. In the Savoy: Printed by Edward Jones, MDCLXXXVIII. A SPEECH Made by the Righe Honourable the Earl of ARRAN, to the Scotch Nobility and Gentry, Met together at the Council Chamber in White-Hall, on the Eighth of January 1688, about an Address to His Highness the PRINCE of ORANGE, to take upon him the Government of the Kingdom of SCOTLAND. MY LORDS, I Have all the Honour and Deferrence for the Prince of ORANGE imaginable. I think him a Brave Prince, and that we owe him great Obligations, in Contributing so much for our Delivery from Popery. But while I pay him those Praises, I cannot Violate my Duty to my Master. I must distinguish between his Popery and his Person. I dislike the one, but have sworn and do owe allegiance to the other; which makes it impossible for me to sign away that which I cannot forbear believing is the KING my Master's Right. For his present absence from us, by being in France, can no more affect our Duty, than his longer absence from us in Scotland has done all this while. My Lords, The Prince in his Paper desires our Advice, mine is, That we should move his Highness to desire His Majesty 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 last be found the Best Way to Heal all our Breaches.
