Viii. Pp. 461, 471. Wodrow, vol. Iv. P. 259-282. A. D. 1685. ] OF SCOTLAND. 283 Scotland. This nobleman, inflamed by resentment against the king, entered into the cabals of the exiles in Holland, and, in concert with the Duke of Monmouth, planned an invasion of Britain. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the earl, having been made prisoner, was executed in terms of his former sen- tence. He died with Christian fortitude and resignation. Had he been convicted and punished for rebellion, the justi...ce of the government could not have been called in question j but, as it was, the iniquity of his attainder made his real guilt be forgotten. The parliament was again summoned to meet at Edinburgh, on the twenty-ninth of April, 1686, the Earl of Murray being the royal commissioner. That nobleman, and the chancellor, Lord Perth, who had recently been so zealous in his profes- sions of attachment to the Church of England, had now joined the Roman Catholic communion. The king's intentions to obtain a repeal of the penal laws against the members of the Church of Rome, or to dispense with their execution, had for some time been well known.
