His Majesty's most Gracious ANSWER To the LETTER from the Archbishops and Bishops.  
To Our Right Trusty and Right well-beloved Counsellors, the Lords Archbishops, and our right Trusty and Well-beloved, the Bishops of Our Ancient Kingdom of Scotland.  
JAMES R.  
RIght Trusty and Right well-beloved Counsellors, and Right Trusty and well-beloved, We Greet you well; We have received your most dutiful Letter, of the third day of November, in which We are glad to see, that you are far from being of the number of those Spiritual Lords, whom the Prince of Orange pretends to have been Invited by; As We have likewise had repeated Assurances from all the Bishops of England, of their Innocency in that, and Duty to Us: We have now thought fit by this to tell you, how sensible We are of your Zeal for Our Service, and for the dutiful Expressions of your Loyalty to Us, in a time when all Arts are used to Seduce Our Subjects from their Duty to Us. We Do likewise take Notice of your Diligence in your Duty, by your Inculcating to those under your Charge, these Principles which have always been Owned, Taught and Published by that Protestant, Loyal Church, you are truly Members of: We Do assure you of Our Royal Protection to you, your Religion, Church and Clergy, and that We will be careful of your Concerns, when ever there shall be a suitable occasion offered to Us; you, and every one of you, being most perfectly in Our Royal Protection and Favour. And so We bid you hearty Farewell.  
Given at Our Court at Whitehall, the 15 day of November 1688. And of Our Reign, the 4th year. By His Majesty's Command, MELFORT.
