Part 2, Folios 136-140. Folios 136-137. Letter dated at The Hague from William Carstares to [William Bentinck] 'I only presume by this to give a conveyance to the enclosed in which there are some particulars which are not worthy of your being at the trouble to read them, but I did judge, Sir, that it might be more fit to send them to you entire, than that you should have, Sir, any reason to think that what was blotted out was of greater concern than indeed it is. I shall not be so bold, Sir, as to make any reflections upon Mr. Stuart's arguments, but shall only, Sir, take the liberty to show you that they are not so strong as to proselytize me to his opinion, either as to the Test or some other things for which he pleads'. [the following enclosures belong with the letter below folios 141-142]. Folios 138-139. Paper entitled 'Reasons why Protestant Dissenters ought to concur for the loyal establishment of the late liberty'. Folio 140. Paper entitled 'Reasons why, as it is humbly contended, their Majesties the Prince and Princess of Orange ought to consent to and concur for the present liberty'.
