dious practises
at length discovered in the Proclamation of the Committee of Estates, and
the Declaration of the Commission of the Assembly against the said
perfidious Band and Remonstrance, being gravely pondered and considered;
Together with his base treachery to the Estates, being intrusted by them
with ample Comission, and encouraged and enabled for discharging thereof,
with Mony Ammunition and Arms in a good measure; Notwithstanding whereof
contrary to that great trust reposed in him. It is notour that not only he
did not joyne with the Forces raised for the defence of this Kingdome, But
rather on the contrary, actually joining himself and his Forces with that
excommunicate Rebel _James Grahame_, and these unnatural bloody Rebels his
followers, did beleager Invernesse, a Towne Garrisoned by the Estates for
the Defence of that part of the Country. And the Assembly, having also
found that fair means have been used for reclaiming of the said Earle from
that wicked and perfidious course, by publike Declarations and
Proclamations, and particular Letters sent to himself from those that had
power in that behalf, And that notwithstanding thereof and of Summonds
direct against him to answer to the premisses, often called, he doth not
appear, but still remains obstinate in his wicked courses. And after
mature deliberation having found his frequent fearful and grosse
perjuries, his perfidious and wicked conspiracies by Band and Oath, with
the publike Enemies of this Kirk and Kingdom, and his other treacherous
and wicked practises contemptuously and pertinaciously persisted into, To
be heinous offences against God, and high contempt of all Ecclesiastical
and Civil authority. Therefore the Assembly moved with the Zeal of God, do
without a contrary voice Decerne and Ordain the said _George_ Earle of
Seafort to be summarly excommunicate, and declared to be one whom Christ
commandeth to be holden by all and every one of the Faithful as an Ethnik
and Publicane, and appoints the sentence of excommunication to be
pronounced by Matter _Robert Blair_ Moderator in the east Kirk of this
Citie, upon the next Lords day, being the 14 of this Moneth; And that
thereafter publike intimation be made thereof upon a Sabbath day before
noone in all the Kirks of this Kingdom so soon as advertisement shall come
unto them.
