it was suspected that distinctions so unwillingly conferred would be
resumed as soon as opportunity offered. The low state of the English
Parliament was seen in Scotland with deep apprehension; and it was

certain future contingencies, it might be infringed by the other, we
shall proceed to mention two other ci
