patched up a publicke agreement with Scotland as wel as a private one with Ireland though the Dutch Prince so wasted his spirits in it that he soone dyed after and Charles Stuart upon his ill successe against England being forced to keep beyond Fife and the Scots cooped up with him they are like Pilate and the Jewes though averse to each other joyned in combination against England And in this fury he hath snatched up the Crown of Scotland And with great difficulty doth he divide himselfe to play his part that he may sit fast on that frozen Throne To the Kirk he bequeaths his Tongue to the Cavaliers his Armes to the English Courtiers his Back and to the pure Malignants his Brest which makes mee remember him that said All the good Princes may be engraven in a ring The Commonwealth of Scotland find fault with many unnecessary pleasures of his yourh the Nobility censure his too much abasing both himself and them the Kirke peirceth even his very thoughts which they take upon them to divine and judge of and yet none deales so plainly with him as the horse he rides on who gives warning by careering that being neither flatterer nor Courtier hee wil cast him to the ground as wel as the poorest Groome of his Stable and as for the common people especially the women as wel as the Ladyes though not with so near reception they are daily and hourely soliciting visiting or at least gazing upon him so that he may say with King Alphonsus that the Estate of an Asse is better then his condition And for the better advancement of their cause as pure Covenanters they being a dissembling people from whence ariseth the proverb as false as a Scot they suffer him not truly to know the state affaires themselves not acknowledging the truth though never so transparent which made them before their rout at Musleborough to sit in consultation what conditions it was fit they should offer to the English then in Scotland which they said were flying away homeward whether or no quarter was to be allowed to any for their lives and to whom only and upon what termes But this dispute was ended for that time by the defeate given to the Scots by the English who slew about 4000. took above 10000 private Souldiers prisoners 2000 of their Horse killed spoyled and taken 290 Colonells and other Commission Officers And two of their Committee of Estates the Lord Liberton and Sir James Lumsden Lieut. General of the Foote and some of their Ministers taken prisoners and there was taken besides 15000 Armes 200 Coulours 32 peece of Ordnance and al their Ammunition Bagge and Baggage And this was done but a day or two before their intention to have received him into their Army And now since they have Crowned him and made him Generalissimo as wel as Rex they carry him on as hood-winkt as before Massey and the rest of the English in hopes to find their own subsistance in his fortunes pretend a great interest and power in England to concurre with his designes by which they squeeze some favour from him by the leave of the Kirk upon the Presbyterian account for imployment and maintenance in the interim Arguile and the Scots they promise him greater things to be revealed to them to be accomplished in the influence of St. Patricke then any of St. Georges hobby horses But the Gourdons and Papists tel him that it is most conducing to make him great and glorious to satisfie the Irish and all other Romish Catholickes in the three Nations and speedily to dismisse the two Irish Lords Ormond and Inchequeen with ample returnes full of satisfaction to the Assembly that so they being capable to reduce Ireland they may having accomplisht it come over and go on helping to carry on the work effectivè in the three Nations But why doe the Papists rage and the Kirke imagine a vain thing the King of Scotland set himself and the Estates take councel together after so great appeales and such evident manifestations of the Lords so visibly owning of his cause against them He that sitteth in the heavens shal laugh the Lord shal have them in derision If so many Emperours after Pompey the great and Caesar could not but fall when the decree was gone out if the Queen Mary of Scotland if his own Father the late King their heads were both cut off with the Executioners hatchets how can the son thinke to escape What are the great fruitlesse boastings of English Malignants the vaine hopes of Irish Papists and the Royal Musters in the North of Scotland for the South of Fife and Sterling they dare not attempt since even Henry the third one of the Predecessors of his mothers Family of France was murdered wilfully by a little Monke in the middest of 40000 armed men FINIS Published by Authority London Printed by Robert Ibbitson 1651.
