_At Fort Augustus, 13th June 1746._
The Presbytry of Abertarph being met and Constitute It was represented
that the Rev^d Mr. John Grant, minister of the Gospel at Urquhart, and
member of this Judicatory, had been sometime ago laid under arrest on
suspicion of being disaffected to the present happy establishment, and
the Presbytery being deeply affected to think that any of their number
should give the least umbrage to any mortal on that important subject
took Mr. Grant’s past conduct with regard to Government under their
most serious deliberation, and upon the whole find Cause to certify
that (abstracting from the present Charge brought against him, to which
they are entire Strangers, having no immediate Access to enquire into
it by reason of the great disturbances here) he still behav’d himself
among them as became a minister of the Gospel, discovering upon every
occasion his Inviolable Attachment and Loyalty to his Majesty’s person
and Government. Given in name presence and at appointment of Presbytry,
date and place forsaid by
THOM. FRAZER, Mod^r.
