Then the House (pursuant to Order) took into Consideration the Report from the Lords Committees appointed to examine into the Scotch Conspiracy.

Resolutions concerning it.

And, after Debate thereupon, the House came to the Resolution following; (videlicet,)

"1. Resolved, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That it doth appear to this House, that there has been a dangerous Conspiracy carried on, for the raising a Rebellion in Scotland, and invading that Kingdom with a French Power, in order to the subverting of Her Majesty's Government, both in England and Scotland, and the bringing in the pretended Prince of Wales."

"2. That it is the Opinion of this House, That nothing hath given so much Encouragement to this Conspiracy; as that the immediate Succession to the Crown of Scotland, after Her present Majesty and the Heirs of Her Body, is not declared to be in the Princess Sophia, and the Heirs of her Body, being Protestants."

"3. That the Queen will be pleased to use Her Endeavours, by such Methods as She shall think most proper, to have the Succession of the Crown of Scotland declared to be settled on the Princess Sophia; and to take such Measures as may best conduce to the disappointing and frustrating the Designs of Her Enemies, who are engaged in this Conspiracy against Her Majesty and Her Government."

"4. That Her Majesty be assured, That, when Her Endeavours shall take Effect for settling of the Succession, this House will do all in their Power to promote an entire Union between the Two Kingdoms, for their mutual Security and Advantage."
