Publickly Burn them at the Cross of Glasgou most justly as they perfideously and Blasphemously had Burnt Our Holy Covenants through several Cities of the Covenanted Kingdomes We are ready always to do it if judgged Necessary with all the faithf●l Suffering Brethren in the Land This done they gathered into a considerable body on Lansdown Hill on Sunday following of which Cap. Graham of Cleaver house having notice drew out what force he had viz. His own Troop of Horse and a Company of Dragoones and with an English resolution went to Charge them Upon his approach be found the Rebels to be 1500 strong who upon the discovery of his March towards them sent out two parties to Skirmish with him the which he charged with such bravery that they presently retreated to their Main body the which with like resolution he attaked Charging through the Enemies main body and killing a very considerable number but after the loss of about 20 Dragooners two Brigadiers and eight of his own Troop his own Horse being shot under him and his Cornet slain he finding himself overpowerd by odds of number thought fit to retreat the which he did with the like gallantry but in his way to Glasgou the Rusticks of Strewin were assembled to oppose him whereupon he charged through them and left 11 or 12 of them dead upon the place The next day the Rebels-taking heart at this first success drew up their Forces against the City of Glasgou and assaulted it in two several places but were beaten off with considerable loss whereupon the Dragooners and Horse sallyed out and fell upon their Rear taking some Prisoners and killing ma●y but they encreasing in number

entrance Iohn Balfour of Kinlock who is insti●u●ed by the Rebels as Major holding up his hand and with an impudent face proclaimed This is the hand that murdered Sharp meaning his Grace the Lord Bishop of St. Andrews whom he had barbarously Massacred and likewise Haxslone and some ot●er of the Rebel made Proclamation that they fought against Supremacy and Prelacy after which they proceeded to farther Vill●nies First they robbed the Archbishop of Glasgoues house tore down his Tapistry Hangings brake open his Chests and Trunks and set his Sellor afloat with Beer and Wine after some of the principal had drank their fills and in fine made a miserable spoyl of all his Goods nothing being saved but a small parcel of books the which his Servants had conveyed to some Neighbours houses his Lordship a Heaven doubtless had ordained was absent or else unquestioned he had been murdered by their cruel hands after this they proceeded to the great Cathedral and pulled down all the Ornaments defacing several Monuments of note and exported the Communion Vestments the p●ate ●aving been timely conveyed away The next barbarous exploit in that City by these inhumane Rebels was they plundered the Bishop of Argiles house and after a miserable Havock t●●r● they went to his Chappel and their diggi●g from their silent Graves two of his Lordships children that had lately been interr'd took up the Coffins broke them open and run their Swords through them several times and left the bodies of the poor infants above ground as Monuments of their inhumane Villany and Cruelty Thus far went these

Elfingstoun near the narrow entrance or pass of the town aforesaid they were defeated and scattered abundance of them being killed in pusuit and about 100 of them taken Prisoner and brought into

hereafter be better able to inform you After His Grace the Duke of Monmouth came over and Headed his Majesties Army all peoples fears began to vanish and of Graces so undoubted courage and Conduct inflamed them with happy expectations the which accordingly succeeded for his Grace on Sunday morning the 22th of this instant Iune drew up his Majesties Force in Barralia in view of the Enemy the River of Clide only intercepting whereupon the Rebels send over a Petition that they would lay down their Arm and disperse themselves if they might have the Articles specified in their Declaration fulfil'd to which his grace returnd answer that it was contrary to the Laws of the Nation and prejudicial to the Government and that he neither could nor would grant their illegal demands but if they would deposite their Arms and submit to the Kings mercy he would desist to attacke them The which they refusing His Grace Commanded the Cannon to ply against their Ranks and Commanded a party party
