The tenor of which commission follows:
Anne by the grace of God queen of Great Britain, France, and Ireland and defender of the faith, to all good men to whom our present letters will have come, greetings. Since thus far we, for reasons of great importance, have decided that the councils of our current parliament of this our ancient kingdom of Scotland in its third session are to be held on the third day of the month of May next to come, but we are unable to be present at the said session of our parliament, because of matters calling us unavoidably, and so we have decreed to grant our commission of representing our royal person and authority in it, to someone of the most eminent rank and of the greatest trustworthiness and imbued with excellent qualities of character. And since we have very many opinions about the unending loyalty, admirable character traits and integrity of our most faithful and dearest kinsman and councillor John [Campbell] duke of Argyll, whose distinguished qualities of character render him entirely suitable and trained for performing rightly that greatest duty of trust, and for promoting our royal proposals, as much in advancing the profit and interest of our said ancient kingdom, both in the Church and in public, as in our service. Know therefore that we have given and granted, and by the tenor of the presents we give and grant to our foresaid most loyal and dearest kinsman and councillor John, duke of Argyll our fullest power and commission of representing our sacred royal person and of bearing our royal authority in the said next session of our foresaid current parliament of our said kingdom, and in any other matter wherever it will require to be transacted for firming Church peace and conserving and cultivating the governance of our said kingdom and promoting our business in all administrations of it, as our high commissioner. Moreover, by the tenor of the presents, we distinguish the same John, duke of Argyll with the title of our commissioner with our royal authority, and we bestow on him full power of doing all and single relating to the duty and power of commissioner, so fully and freely in whatever respect and condition as any other of that highest office and character had ever done (while whoever of our ancestors was reigning), or could do according to law. All and single to be followed in this said commission which are done by him, we hold firm and fixed, and will hold to all and single. Moreover, to the officials of our state and those who are from our inner councils, judges, and officers of our forces in this kingdom, and our other subjects whatsoever, we command strictly that they should recognise the foresaid John, duke of Argyll as our high commissioner representing our sacred person and bearing our royal authority, revere and provide themselves listening to his word, to the effect and following the form prescribed in this our commission. Which commission shall begin at the date of the presents and will last in strength during the said next session of parliament, and until it will be revoked by us. We order and declare this our commission to become without prejudice to the foresaid John, duke of Argyll to any other diplomas or commissions concerning any other duty granted to him by us, but the same to continue in full strength during this our commission and also after its expiration, during our pleasure only, contained in single diplomas and commissions granted to him. In testimony whereof, we have ordered our great seal to be appended to the presents. At our court of St James’s on 6 March 1705, and in the third year of our reign.
