"2. I am sorry for it.
"3. If it were to do again, I would not do it.
"4. But I protest it was done of Ignorance, and not of Malice towards either of the Houses of Parliament, or any particular Member of the same; but only to declare my Affection to the intended Union, which I doubt not but all your Lordships do allow of."
