Excerpt from Records of the Kirk of Scotland, Vol. 1: Containing the Acts and Proceedings of the General Assemblies, From the Year 1638 Downwards, as Authenticated by the Clerks of Assembly; With Notes and Historical Illustrations
Charles, however, not sufficiently acquainted With the latent spirit of his Scottish subjects, ordered an act to be framed, soon after his coronation, em bodying the enactments of both the statutes above alluded to, asserting the unlimited prerogative of the King in all matters, civil and ecclesiastical, and giving him power to regulate the robes and raiment of ecclesiastics. This was strenuously opposed by Rothes, Balmerino, and a majority of the Estates, notwithstanding the personal presence of the King, and his domineering orders to them to vote and not to speak. By a juggle, however, the clerk-register (primrose) reported the majority the other way a falsity which could not be impugned without in curring the pains of treason; and so intent was Charles on coercing the Estates into this measure, that he marked on a list the names of all who had voted against his crotchet, and threatened them with his resentment.'
