THE Publishers Advertisement TO THE READER SIR James Standsfield the Subject of this Tragical Relation was Born in England whence in his younger Years he went into Scotland and was Secretary to the Famous Major General Morgan upon His Late Majesties happy Restauration and the Armies Disbanding he betook himself to Merchandizing and very considerably in returning of Monies betwixt the Two Kingdoms In which he behaved himself with that Honour Justness and Punctuality as soon made him Rich and Eminent and also well known to His Late Majesty and the Greatest Personages of both Courts and Kingdoms He was a Gentleman of a Publick Spirit and having Married a Scotch Lady and gain'd a considerable Estate in that Kingdom sought all Ways Just and Honourable to do it good And amongst others at a vast Expence settled the Linnen and Woollen Manufactures at his own Seat called New-Milns near Hadington a few Miles on this side Edinburgh where not only great Sums of Money but Hundreds of poor People were Employ'd and Conveniences made for their Working from the Wool to the Draper's Shop as was generally known in that Kingdom and also in this He was a Gentleman of that Sobriety Temperance and discreet Behaviour as obliged all Persons he had Converse with and I have heard some Persons of Quality that knew him Intimately for Thirty Years say they neither saw nor ever heard of so much as one Intemperate or Immorral Act that he was guilty of Yet this worthy good Gentleman fell by the Hands of his most Cruel and Vnnatural Eldest Son even in his own Bed-Chamber a Son to whom he had given very Liberal Education and whose repeated Extravagancies had cost many Hundreds Still hoping that his Tenderness and Indulgence towards him together with a Sight of his Errors would as he grew in Years reclaim him but instead thereof as he increased in Years he increased in Vice and such a Riotous Course of Living as rendred a plentiful Annual Allowance not sufficient for a Month. Being thus Arrived to a mighty height in all manner of Wickedness a low Ebb of Fortune and nothing but his Fathers Life standing betwixt him and a plentiful Estate The want of Grace and the Strength of the Tempter put him upon perpetrating the Horrid Fact which notwithstanding all Endeavours was used to bring him to Confess and Repent of yet he remained Obstinate to his last moment which some attribute to the Shame that must naturally be the Consequent of so Vnnatural and Bloody a Fact.
