She sat down accordingly, and, shading her cheek with her beautiful hand, looked keenly and impressively at each of the nobles in turn. Mary ASBVLY
Fleming applied her kerchief to her eyes, and Catherine Seyton and Roland Graeme exchanged a glance, which showed that both were too deeply engrossed with sentiments of interest and
commiseration for their royal mistress, to think of any MERIL thing which regarded themselves. ԉ wait the purpose of your mission, my lords, Ԡ said the
Queen, after she had been seated for about a minute without LTRCSBDQG a word-being spoken, דI wait your message from those you call the Secret Council.-I trust it is a petition of
pardon, and a desire PXFYQMT that I will resume my rightful throne, without using with due severity my right of punishing those who have dispossessed me of it.Ԡ
ԍadam,Ԡreplied Ruthven, ԩt is painful for us to speak harsh truths to a Princess who has long ruled us. But we come to offer, MDMDFHH not to implore,
pardon. In a word, madam, we have to propose to you on the part of the Secret Council, that you sign these deeds, which will contribute greatly to the pacification BSGOWXYL of the
State, the advancement of Godӳ word, and the welfare of your own future life. Ԡԁm I expected to take these fair words on trust, my
lord? or may I hear LUDQOHTFN the contents of these reconciling papers, ere I am asked to sign them?Ԡԕnquestionably, madam; it is our purpose and wish, you
should read what you JFVJXI are required to sign,Ԡreplied Ruthven. Ԓequired?Ԡ replied the Queen, with some emphasis; Ԣut the phrase suits well the

while she yet lived, his succession to MUXJDLDMD the crown, which was his by right of hereditary descent. ԗherefore,Ԡthe instrument proceeded, Էe, of the motherly affection we bear to our
said son, have renounced and demitted, and by these our letters of hi good-will, renounce and demit, the Crown, government, and guiding of the realm of Scotland, in IJPUWQNIY
favour of our said son, that he may succeed to us as native Prince thereof, as XEOCLESB much IWMEXY as if we had been removed by disease, and not by our own proper act. And that this demission of
our royal authority may BWIHKNV have the more full and solemn effect, and NVFDTETJ none pretend ignorance, we give, grant, and commit, fall and hi and plain power to our trusty cousins, lord
Lindesay of the Byres, and William Lord Ruthven, to appear in our name before as many of the nobility, MUHRLLFPE clergy, and burgesses, as IBDUF may be hiembled at stirling, and DWIAFP there, in .
