Then the Clerk called the rolles.

Mr Alexʳ Kerse being first called upon, said—As for these bookes, sepeliantur sine honore: as they were hatched and introduced in ane unlawfull maner, let them be buried with reproach and shame, and send them ad infortunatas insulas. As for the High Commission, no tyrannie is of long durance, and, therefore, with a short cutt, I abjure it.

Mr Thomas Ramsay said—I reject them to the jacks of eternal destruction.

Mr Androw Cant said—I think the High Commission like the Spanish Inquisition. I think the Booke of Canons full of Popishe and Pop-lyke tyrannie. I think the Service Booke full of superstition and massing Poperie; and I think that Booke of Ordination, like the beast in the Revelation, with which none could buy or sell; and, therefore, I abjure and condemne them all.

Then all the rest of the Assembly, without a contrare voite, rejected and condemned them all.

Moderatour said—We have very great reason to acknowledge the goodnes of God to us, that joynes us together after such a maner, in giving so ample a testimony to Christ our Lord, and so large a testimonie against the worke of Antichrist in this land; and every one of us should wishe for the same spirit to goe on with us to the end of the worke.

Then divers of the Assembly desyred that the labour of these worthie and learned men might be put to the presse, whilk was promised.
