a_o letter_n from_o a_o honourable_a gentleman_n in_o the_o court_n certify_v the_o examination_n of_o mr._n john_n cheisly_a esquire_n secretary_n to_o the_o commissioner_n of_o scotland_n who_o be_v take_v and_o stay_v at_o newcastle_n with_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o many_o interrogatory_n put_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o governor_n and_o major_n thereof_o concern_v major_a general_n massy_n go_v

of_o the_o safe_a land_n of_o sir_n william_n waller_n mr._n anthony_n nicols_n and_o other_o impeach_v member_n at_o the_o brill_n in_o holland_n print_a in_o the_o year_n 1647._o sir_n i_o have_v receive_v your_o letter_n advertise_v the_o health_n and_o present_a condition_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o report_n of_o major_a general_n massy_n go_v into_o scotland_n as_o also_o the_o confinement_n of_o mr._n john_n cheisty_a esquire_n at_o new_a castle_n who_o be_v examine_v as_o you_o write_v by_o the_o major_a and_o governor_n of_o that_o town_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v much_o affect_v your_o expression_n that_o he_o behave_v himself_o resolute_o like_o a_o gentleman_n and_o express_v himself_o discreet_o like_o a_o secretary_n and_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o answer_n which_o he_o make_v to_o the_o interrogatory_n to_o be_v very_o real_a and_o according_a to_o his_o conscience_n 1._o that_o he_o know_v not_o where_o major_a general_n massie_n be_v and_o have_v nothing_o to_o satisfy_v they_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o scotland_n or_o no._n 2._o that_o as_o for_o his_o own_o particular_a his_o dispatch_n from_o london_n into_o scotland_n be_v in_o no_o relation_n to_o any_o design_n of_o major_a general_n masey_n or_o to_o raise_v any_o new_a war_n but_o to_o labour_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o ability_n for_o the_o establishment_n of_o a_o true_a peace_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o a_o right_a understanding_n between_o the_o two_o kingdom_n 3._o that_o as_o he_o have_v give_v already_o sufficient_a demonstration_n to_o both_o kingdom_n of_o his_o integrity_n for_o five_o year_n together_o so_o he_o can_v not_o but_o lament_v his_o present_a unhappiness_n to_o have_v his_o fidelity_n now_o suspect_v and_o his_o endeavour_n so_o churlish_o examine_v which_o do_v promise_n to_o themselves_o a_o more_o fair_a construction_n sir_n these_o indeed_o be_v honest_a expression_n in_o the_o which_o i_o do_v still_o observe_v and_o commend_v your_o candour_n that_o you_o be_v careful_a to_o render_v to_o every_o one_o their_o due_a and_o to_o continue_v your_o wont_a course_n which_o be_v wise_o to_o steer_v betwixt_o the_o two_o great_a faction_n in_o this_o kingdom_n the_o whirlpool_n and_o the_o rock_n without_o fear_n or_o danger_n of_o split_v against_o the_o one_o or_o ingulph_v within_o the_o other_o but_o since_o you_o be_v please_v to_o put_v your_o command_n upon_o i_o to_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n and_o what_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v the_o event_n of_o these_o fid_fw-we time_n and_o whether_o the_o scot_n will_v take_v up_o arm_n and_o what_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o major_a general_n massy_n if_o there_o may_v perform_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n or_o if_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v so_o dispose_v it_o that_o there_o shall_v no_o sword_n be_v draw_v betwixt_o the_o two_o kingdom_n what_o may_v be_v the_o best_a mean_n to_o reconcile_v the_o two_o different_a party_n of_o this_o kingdom_n i_o will_v use_v my_o endeavour_n to_o satisfy_v you_o beseech_v you_o hereafter_o that_o you_o will_v put_v i_o upon_o more_o easy_a duty_n and_o impute_v no_o more_o unto_o i_o than_o i_o be_o well_o able_a to_o discharge_v for_o the_o scot_n invade_v this_o kingdom_n with_o a_o new_a army_n let_v their_o pulpit_n press_v it_o never_o so_o much_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n at_o this_o present_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v for_o unto_o the_o make_n of_o a_o war_n it_o be_v a_o maxine_a in_o state_n that_o there_o be_v require_v these_o two_o great_a sinew_n money_n and_o provision_n without_o which_o man_n will_v fail_v and_o war_n will_v fall_v of_o itself_o for_o the_o first_o you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n be_v extreme_o necessitate_v how_o many_o letter_n of_o invitation_n be_v send_v unto_o they_o before_o they_o enter_v our_o kingdom_n last_o when_o the_o north_n be_v unplundr_v and_o the_o kingdom_n in_o a_o more_o plentiful_a condition_n to_o satisfy_v the_o appetite_n of_o the_o greedy_a soldier_n then_o now_o it_o be_v and_o yet_o the_o common_a soldier_n will_v not_o then_o stir_v without_o three_o pound_n english_a pay_v for_o advance_v to_o every_o man_n where_o be_v this_o money_n to_o be_v have_v there_o now_o what_o a_o sum_n will_v this_o rise_v to_o among_o twenty_o thousand_o man_n although_o no_o man_n be_v to_o have_v above_o the_o allowance_n of_o a_o common_a soldier_n but_o suppose_v which_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v grant_v that_o this_o money_n be_v to_o be_v have_v and_o the_o soldier_n on_o his_o march_n what_o encouragement_n will_v he_o send_v for_o the_o future_a where_o will_v he_o look_v for_o recruit_n their_o demeanour_n when_o they_o be_v here_o last_o be_v so_o full_a of_o rapine_n and_o oppression_n that_o the_o weak_a sort_n of_o our_o nation_n in_o the_o north_n believe_v it_o sir_n do_v tremble_v to_o hear_v of_o their_o come_n again_o into_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o more_o manly_a and_o resolute_a party_n will_v stand_v on_o their_o guard_n and_o lose_v their_o life_n every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o defence_n before_o they_o will_v be_v persuade_v to_o re-admit_a they_o beside_o they_o know_v very_o well_o that_o there_o be_v a_o party_n in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o do_v so_o strong_o hate_v they_o that_o if_o their_o covenant_n shall_v hang_v a_o little_a low_o in_o our_o church_n their_o very_a dog_n will_v go_v near_o to_o lift_v up_o their_o leg_n against_o it_o and_o as_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o money_n and_o encouragement_n so_o they_o be_v in_o great_a distress_n for_o provision_n and_o god_n bless_v they_o they_o do_v stand_v in_o as_o great_a a_o need_n of_o health_n as_o that_o for_o beside_o want_n of_o health_n the_o pestilence_n rage_v in_o many_o of_o their_o chief_a city_n and_o town_n it_o may_v appear_v in_o what_o distress_n they_o be_v for_o want_v of_o provision_n both_o for_o man_n and_o horse_n to_o sustain_v a_o army_n by_o the_o advance_v of_o lieutenant_n general_n lesley_n into_o the_o highlander_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o last_o spring_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o

people_n who_o already_o know_v their_o temper_n and_o have_v suffer_v almost_o beyond_o expression_n will_v on_o the_o first_o rumour_n of_o their_o advance_n take_v all_o that_o they_o have_v with_o

that_o there_o be_v some_o of_o quality_n in_o newcastle_n who_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o entertain_v they_o sir_n the_o disposure_n of_o such_o a_o town_n as_o newcastle_n do_v not_o lie_v at_o the_o

add_v to_o this_o that_o colonel_n lambert_n be_v not_o idle_a in_o the_o north_n but_o be_v watchful_a to_o discover_v all_o their_o design_n and_o to_o observe_v all_o their_o motion_n and_o be_v they_o resolve_v to_o re-invade_a this_o kingdom_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o with_o a_o powerful_a army_n he_o will_v meet_v they_o half_a way_n to_o give_v they_o entertainment_n but_o sir_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o than_o all_o this_o which_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o king_n which_o you_o write_v i_o word_n will_v certain_o countermand_v they_o in_o the_o march_n or_o if_o they_o shall_v advance_v into_o this_o kingdom_n they_o be_v like_a to_o pass_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o traitor_n be_v it_o likely_a sir_n that_o a_o nation_n so_o provident_a as_o the_o
