Translation: At Aberdeen (Scotland), 4 July 1552 the legitimation of James,
Robert, Stephen and Janet Richardson, of Minister Robert Richardson, signed Mary
Queen of Scots. Privy Council entry 1643. The word "Magistri" is plural and has
many meaning such as the man in charge, ..., ship's captain. Here I think it is
used like the current day "Minister" as in the current UK government system,
given his work for Her Majesty Royal.
