eakly or
falsely for little private interest and views abandon your duty to
your name, and suffer a pretended heiresse, and her Mackenzie
children to possess your country and the true right of the heirs
male, they will certainly in les than an age chasse you all by
slight and might, as well Gentlemen, as Commons, out of your native
country, which will be possessed by the Mackenzies and the
Mackdonalls, and you will be, like the miserable unnatural Jews,
scattered, and vagabonds throughout the unhappy kingdom of Scotland,
and the poor wifes and children that remains of the name, without a
head or protection when they are told the traditions of their
familie will be cursing from their hearts the persons and memory of
those unnaturall cowardly knavish men, who sold and abandoned their
chief, their name, their birthright, and their country, for a false
and foolish present gain, even as the most of Scots' people curs
this day those who sold them and their country to the English by the
fatal union, which I hope will not last long.

I make my earnest and dying prayers to God Almighty, that he may, in
his mercy, thro the merits of Christ Jesus, save you and all my poor
people, whom I always found honest and zealous to me and their duty,
from that blindness of heart that will inevitably bring those ruins
and disgraces upon you and your posterity; and I pray that Almighty
and Mercifull God, who has often miraculously saved my family and
name from utter ruin, may give you the spirit of courage, of zeal,
and of fidelity, that you owe to your chief, to your name, to your
selves, to your children, and to your country; and may the most
mercifull, and adorable Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three
persons, one God, save all your souls eternally, throu the blood of
Christ Jesus, our Blessed Lord and Saviour, to whom I heartily
recommende you.

I desire that this letter may be kept in a box, at Beaufort, or
Maniack, and read once a-year by the heir male, or a principale
gentleman of the name, to all honest Frasers that will continue
faithfull to the duty I have enjoined in this above-written letter,
to whom, with you and all honest Frasers, and my other friends, I
leave my tender and affectionat blessing, and bid you my kind, and
last farewell.
