Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Mr George Lauder, minister of the gospel, showing that whereas the petitioner after he had read the proclamation in good time and prayed for their majesties’ King William and Queen Mary, [he] was turned out of his church of Whitekirk be a committee of the general meeting of Presbyterian ministers for no guilt they found in him censurable by law, as their own records will testify, albeit full inquiry and trial was taken by them concerning it, but merely upon the head of a civil affair wherein, as they were not competent judges, neither were they warranted with probation of what was alleged to give out sentence against him. And it being now more then a year and a half since he has lain under that hard measure without any kind of relief from any quarter, behaving himself soberly all the time and continuing steadfastly well affected to their majesties King William and Queen Mary and to their royal government, and resolving whatever may befall him to make conscience of that duty still. It hath pleased [Sir John Lauder] my Lord Hatton and Sir Robert Milne of Blackburn, allowed to the power allowed patrons by act of parliament to dispose upon vacant stipends unto pious uses, to confer upon the petitioner a year’s vacant stipend of the church of Inverkeithing viz from Whitsunday 1691 to Whitsunday 1692 as their said gift ready to be therewith produced instructs, and therefore craving that the said lords would be pleased in consideration of the premises and of his majesty’s gracious acceptance of the several addresses made to his majesty by the petitioner’s brethren and himself to ordain all liable in payment of the said vacant stipend to make payment of the same to the petitioner, as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council having considered this petition given in to them by the above Mr George Lauder, with the gift mentioned therein and produced therewith, they hereby allow to the petitioner the stipend of the above kirk of Inverkeithing from the feast and term of Whitsunday 1691 to the feast and term of Whitsunday 162. And ordain him to be readily answered, obeyed, and paid thereof by the heritors, feuers, wadsetters, and others liable in payment of the same. And ordain letters of horning under the signet of council at the petitioner’s instance against them for that effect, he producing a decreet of locality. And in case there be none, ordain those liable to make payment to him of their respective proportions of the said year’s stipend according as they shall be discerned be the judge ordinary, in respect the petitioner has given in to the clerks of council an obligation subscribed by him binding and obliging himself that for the future he shall pray for their majesties King William and Queen Mary as king and queen of this realm.

But there being no settled presbytery in that shire to admit the petitioner minister of the said place according to law, which the petitioner is most willing and ever was to comply with, and seeing that the magistrates and heritors foresaid by their declaration subscribed with their hands [om] 15 February last bypast are willing to allow to the petitioner the local stipend, which is about five hundred and forty merks and five chalders of victual or thereby yearly, allowing to the preceding minister’s widow and children half a year for the year 1691 and the whole stipend or so much as their lordships shall modify for his serving [of] the cure for the year 1692 and in time coming during the petitioner’s serving [of] the cure of the said parish. And considering that the petitioner has a numerous family and is not able to maintain them and to serve the said church for nothing, and therefore craving that the said lords would be pleased to authorise the said magistrates, town council, and heritors of the said parish to pay to the petitioner the surplus stipend foresaid of the year 1691 and the whole stipend foresaid of the year 1692 and in all time coming during the petitioner’s serving [of] the said cure according to the said parishioners’ their call and declaration foresaid produced with the said petition, as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council having considered this petition given in to them by the above Mr David Ogilvie, with the call and declaration mentioned therein and produced therewith, they hereby allow to the petitioner the kirk of Arbroath for the last half of the crop and year of God 1691 and whole crop and year of God 1692.
