shut them up in Ships whom they exposed to storms and tempests and all the miseries which a wild Sea could give to a languishing stomack And some again they sequestred under colour of scandal imputing to them such notorious and enormous Crimes as would have rendered them uncapable of Life as well as Livings if they had been proved But that which added the most weight to these Oppressions was the publishing of a malicious and unchristian Pamphlet entituled The first Century of Scandalous and Malignant Priests which whether it were more odious in the sight of God or more disgraceful to the Church or offensive to all sober and religious men it is hard to say And as it seems the scandal of it was so great that the Publisher thereof though otherwise of a fiery and implacable nature desisted from the putting forth of a Second Century though he had promised it in the First and was inclinable enough to have kept his word Instructions had been sent before to all Counties in England for bringing in such Informations against their Ministers as might subject them to the danger of a Deprivation But the times were not then so apt for mischief as to serve their turns which made them fall upon these wretched and unchristian courses to effect their purpose By means whereof they purged the Church of almost all Canonical and Orthodox men The greatness of which desolation in all the parts of the Kingdom may be computed by the havock which they made in London and the Parishes thereunto adjoining according as it is presented in the Bill of Mortality hereunto subjoined 29.

And at the same time about forty Churches void having no constant Minister in them Usque quo Domine Rev. 6.10 30. By this sad Bill confined within the Lines of Commuuication and some Villages adjoining we may conjecture at the greatness of that Mortality which fell amongst the Regular Clergy in all parts of the Kingdom by Plundring Sequestring and Ejecting or finally by vexing them into their Graves by so many Miseries as were inflicted on them in the Ships or their several Prisons In all which ways more men were outed of their Livings by the Presbyterians in the space of Three years than were deprived by the Papists in the Reign of Queen Mary or had been silenced suspended or deprived by all the Bishops from the first year of Queen ELIZABETH to these very times And that it might be done with some colour of Justice they instituted a Committee for Plundred Ministers under pretence of making some provision for such godly Preachers as had either suffered loss of Goods by His Majesty's Soldiers or loss of Livings for adhering to the Houses of Parliament Under which stiles they brought in a confused Rabble of their own perswasions or such at least as were most likely to be serviceable to their ends and purposes some of which had no Goods and most of them no Livings at all to lose But the truth was they durst not trust the Pulpits to the Regular Clergy who if they had offended against the Laws by the same Laws they ought to have been tryed condemned and deprived accordingly that so the Patrons might present more deserving persons to the vacant Churches But then this could not stand with the main Design For possibly the Patrons might present such Clarks as would go on in the old way and could not be admitted but by taking the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance to our Lord the King and by subscribing to the Discipline and Doctrine of the Church of England which they were then resolved to alter Or could they have prevailed so far with the several Patrons as to present those very men whom they had designed unto the Profits of the Sequestred Benefices yet then they were to have enjoyed them for term of life and might pretend a Legal Right and Title to them which would have cut off that dependance on the Houses of Parliament which this Design did chiefly aim at So that the best of this new Clergy were but Tenants at will and therefore must be servile and obsequious to their mighty Landlords upon whose pleasure they depended for their present Livelihood 31. Such were the Mischiefs of this year For remedy whereof His Majesty most graciously published two Proclamations one of them bearing date the 15 th of May and the other on the 9 th of October In the first of which His Majesty takes especial notice That many of the Clergy no less eminent for their Learning than their Zeal and Piety were either driven or forced from their habitations or silenced or discharged from attending on their Cures That they suffered these oppressions for no other reasons but because they published his legal and just Commands or had refused to pray against Him or to submit against their Consciences to illegal Taxes for the continuance of the Warr or were comformable to the Book of Common-Prayer or preacht God's Word according to the purity of it without any mixture of Sedition That being for these Crimes discharged of their several Cures others were put into their Places to sow Sedition and seduce His Majejesty's good Subjects from their due obedience contrary to the Word of God and the Laws of the Land His Majesty thereupon commandeth That all such courses be forborn for the time to come That all His good Subjects for the present set forth their Tythes and pay them to the lawful Incumbents or their Farmers only That the Church-Wardens Side-men and other Parishioners shall resist all such persons as have been or shall be intruded into any of the Cures aforesaid but that they should contribute their

about her middle which the King forcibly unfastneth and puts him to the power of his mortal enemies by whom he was dragged down the Stairs and stabbed in so many places fifty three saith Knox that his whole body seemed to be like a piece of Cut-work Which barbarous Murther Knox proclaims for an act of justice calls it a just punishment on that Pultron and vile Knave David for abusing the Common wealth and his other villanies and heavily complains that the Chief Actors in the same which he extols for a just act and most worthy of all praise p. 96. were so unworthily left by the rest of their Brethren and forced to suffer the bitterness of exile and banishment 5. The Queen was then grown great with Childe and being affrighted at the suddenness of this execution and the fear of some treasonable attempt against her person was in no small danger of miscarrying The Court was full of Tumult and the noise thereof so alarmed the Town that the people flocked thither in great multitudes to know the matter to whom the King signified out of a Window that the Queen was safe which somewhat appeased them for the present But notwithstanding both the Court and City were in such distraction that when the Earl of Murray and the rest of the Confederates tendred their appearance and offered themselves unto the tryal of the Law there was no information made against them nor any one sufficiently instructed for the prosecution Which being observed they address themselves to the Parliament House and there take instruments to testifie upon Record that they were ready to answer whatsoever could be charged upon them but none there to prosecute And here the Scene begins to change Morton and Ruthen and the rest of their accomplices betake themselves to New-castle as the safest Sanctuary and Murray staid behinde to negotiate for them And he applyed himself so dextrously in his negotiation that fi●st he endears himself to the Q●een his Sister by causing her Guards to be again restored unto her which had been taken from her at the time of the murther She on the other side to shew how much she valued the affection of so dear a Brother was easily intreated that Morton Lindesay and the rest who remained at New-castle should be permitted to return but so that it should rather seem to be done upon the earnest sollicitations of the Earls of Huntley and Arguile then at his request The King in the mean time findes his errour and earnestly supplicates unto her for a reconcilement assuring her that he had never fallen on that desperate action but as he was forcibly thrust upon it by Morton and Murray And that he might regain his reputation in the sight of the people he openly protested his innocency at the Cross in Edenborough by sound of Trumpet and publickly averred that his consent had gone no further with the Murtherers then for the recalling of the banished Lords which were sled into England The young Prince was not so well studied in the School of mischief as to have learned that there is no safety in committing one act of wickedness but by proceeding to another or at the least by standing stoutly unto that which was first committed that so his confidence might in time be took for innocencie A lesson which the rest of the Confederates had took out long since and were now upon the point to practice it upon himself 6. For by this piece of ostentation and impertinencie the King gained nothing on the people and lost himself exceedingly amongst the Peers for as none of the common sort did believe him to be the more innocent of the wicked murther because he washed his hands of it in the sight of the multitude so the great men which had the guiding of the Faction disdained him as a weak and impotent person not to be trusted in affairs of his own concernment nor did he edifie better with the Queen then he did with the Subjects who was so far from suffering any hearty reconciliation to be made between them that she exprest more favour unto Murray then in former times Which so exasperated the neglected and forsaken Prince that he resolved on sending Murray after Risio with which he makes the Queen acquainted in hopes she would approve of it as an excellent service but she disswades him from the fact and tells Murray of it knowing full well that which soever of the two miscarried in it she should either loose an hated Friend or a dangerous Enemy Murray communicates the Affair with Morton and the rest of his Friends By whom it is agreed that they should take into their Friendship the Earle of Bothwel a man of an audacious spirit apt for any mischief but otherwise of approved valour and of a known fidelity to the Queen in her greatest dangers He had before some quarrels with the Earl of Murray of whose designs he was not distrustful without cause and therefore laboured both by force and practice either to make him less or nothing But Murray was too hard for him at the weapon of Wit and was so much too powerful for him both in Court and Consistory that he was forced to quit the Kingdom and retire to France Returning at such time as Murray and the rest of the Confederates were compelled to take sanctuary at New-castle he grew into great favour with the Queen whose discontents against the King he knew how to nourish which made his friendship the more acceptable and his assistance the more useful in the following Tragedy Thus Herod and Pilate are made friends and the poor King must fall a peace offering for their Redintegration 7. But first they would expect the issue of the Queens delivery by the success whereof the principal conspirators were resolved to steer their course On the 19 day of Iuly she is delivered of a Son in the Castle of Edenborough to the general joy of all the Kingdom and the particular comfort of the chief Governours of Affairs for the Congregation There was no more use now of a King or Queen when God had given them a young Prince to sit upon the Throne of his Fathers in whose minority they might put themselves into such a posture that he should never be able to act much against them when he came to age And now they deal with Bothwel more effectually then before they did incourage him to remove the King by some means or other to separate himself from his own Wife a Daughter of the House of Huntley and Espouse the Queen Let him but act the first part as most proper for him and they would easily finde a way to bring on the rest For the performance whereof and to stand to him in it against all the world they bound themselves severally and joyntly under Hand and Seal In which most wicked practice they had all these ends first the dispatching of the King next the confounding of Bothwel whom they feared and
