xcommunicat Traitor _James Graham_, for indicting of a
pretended Parliament, and finding the same to be full of Blasphemies
against the solemn League and Covenant of the three Kingdoms, and of vile
aspersions of Treason, Rebellion, and Sedition most falsly and impudently
imputed to the Estates, and most faithfull and loyall Subjects of this
Kingdome: Doe therfore declare, That such as have bin prim Instruments of
the publishing of that or the Proclamation and Declaration, deserve the
highest censures of the Kirks, unlesse they make humble confession of
their offence publickely, in such manner as is prescribed by this
Assembly; And humbly Recommends to the Committee of Estates to take some
course for their exemplary civill punishment, and that some publike note
of ignominie be put upon that Proclamation as their Honors shall think
meet.
