To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The barons perceaving that the ratification of the Booke of Dis- cipline was refused, presented certan articles to the counsell, crav- ing idolatrie to be suppressed, kirks to be planted with qualifeid ministers, sufficient stipends to be provided for them according to equitie and conscience ; for till that time the ministers lived upon men's benevolence. Manie deteaned in their owne hands the fruicts which the bishops and others of thai sect had before abused, and so some part was bestowed upo...n the ministers ; but then the bi- shops beganne to grippe againe to that which most unjustlie they called their owne. The Erie of Arran was discharged to intromett with the rents of Sanct Andrewes and Dumfermline, wherwith he had intrometted before in name of factorie ; and so were manie others. The barons required, therefore, that their ministers might be provided, or ellis they would not suffer anie longer anie thing to be lifted to the bishop's use, more than they did before the queene's arrivall ; for their religioun, which the queene promised not to alter, could not continue without ministers, and ministers could not live without provisioun.
