Our Will is, and We Charge you strictly, and Command, that incontinent, these Our Letters seen, Ye pass to the Market Cross of Edinburgh, and the Remanent Market Crosses of the head Burghs of this Kingdom, and there in Our Name and Authority, by open Proclamation, make publick Intimation of the said Adjournment of Our Parliament, from the said tenth day of July, to the said sixth day of December next ensueing; Requiring all the Members of that Our Parliament, to attend that day in the usual way, and upon the accustomed Certifications.
