Unto
His
Grace
the
Duke
of
Argile
Her
Majesty's
High
Commissioner
,
and
the
Right
Honourable
the
Estates
of
Parliament
.
THE
PETITION
OF
John
Corss
Writer
in
Edinburgh
.
Humbly
Sheweth
,
THat
the
deceast
Andrew
Martine
Writer
in
Edinburg'h
,
from
the
great
respect
he
bore
to
his
Native
Country
,
and
particularly
for
Preservation
of
the
Ancient
Records
thereof
,
having
in
the
year
of
GOD
1650
(
at
which
time
he
had
the
care
of
the
Records
of
the
privy
Seal
)
absconded
himself
with
them
in
the
Highlands
of
this
Kingdom
,
where
he
preserved
them
from
the
Enemy
,
with
a
great
deal
of
Expenses
and
Fatigue
,
there
being
upwards
of
100
large
Folios
,
and
that
for
the
space
of
Ten
years
at
least
,
to
the
hazard
of
his
Life
,
and
irrecoverable
ruin
of
his
Family
:
And
the
saids
Books
being
some
time
ago
fallen
in
your
Petitioners
hand
thorow
the
Death
of
the
said
Andrew
Martin
,
and
of
his
Son
,
whom
your
Petitioner
was
necessitat
to
supply
,
in
advancing
considerable
Sums
to
him
on
the
Faith
of
these
Books
;
and
conceiving
they
may
be
of
publick
Use
;
especially
seing
they
contain
the
Records
of
Charters
,
Precepts
,
Gifts
of
Teinds
,
Presentations
to
Kirks
and
Benefices
in
the
several
Provostries
,
Priories
and
Prebendries
,
from
the
Year
of
GOD
1499
,
to
the
Year
of
GOD
1650
,
together
with
their
Minut
Books
,
during
all
that
time
,
exactly
corresponding
;
as
also
a
Record
containing
the
Taxation
upon
the
Clergy
of
Scotland
for
sending
their
Delegats
to
the
Council
of
Trent
,
and
other
old
Taxations
.
Your
Petitioner
also
humbly
conceives
,
that
these
Records
are
of
the
more
Use
and
Value
;
because
the
Records
of

Chancery
,
and
other
Records
suffered
much
when
they
were
transported
to
England
,
and
much
more
by
the
Misfortune
that

them
at
Sea
in
their
return
.
May
it
therefore
please
your
Grace
and
Lordships
,
to
order
the
foresaids
Records
to
be
put
into
publick
Custody
,
and
to
appoint
your
Petitioner
such
a
Reward
for
the
Expenses
and
great
Pains
that
has
been
bestowed
in
preserving
these
Records
,
as
your
Grace
and
Lordships
in
your
great
Goodness
and
Bounty
shall
think
fit
.
And
your
Petitioner
shall
ever
Pray
,
&c.
