Scotland when after long triall they had found all their intercessions with the King for a modern and reasonable accomodation slighted and rejected they suffered themselves to be perswaded to enter covenant with their oppressed and fainting brethren for the mantainance of the common cause of Religion and liberty but with expresse Articles for the preservation of royalty in all its just rights in his Majestie and his posterity what unkindnes was here in the Scots to their King When by Gods blessing on the Scots helpe the opposite faction was fully subdued his Majestie left Oxford with a purpose for London The Scots selling of the King is a most false calumnie but by the severity of the ordinances against his receivers he diverted towards Linn to ship for Holland or France where by the way fearing a discovery and surprise he was necessitate to cast himselfe upon the Scots army at New-wark upon his promise to give satisfaction to the propositions of both Kingdomes he was received there and came with them to New-castle here his old oaths to adhaere unto Episcopacy hindred him to give the expected satisfaction At that time the prime leaders of the English army were seeking with all earnestnes occasion to fall upon the Scots much out of heart and reputation by Iames Grahame and his Irishes incursions most unhappy for the Kings affaires Scotland at that time was so full of divisions that if the King had gone thither they were in an evident hazard of a present war both within among themselfs and without from England our friends in the English Parliament whom we did and had reason to trust assured us that our taking the King with us to Scotland was the keeping of the Sectarian Army on foot for the wrack of the King of Scotland of the Presbyterian party in England as the sending of his Majestie to one of his houses neer London upon the faith of the Parliament of England was the onely way to get the Sectaryes disarmed the King and the people settled in a peace upon such tearmes as should be satisfactory both to the King and the Scots and all the wel-affected in England This being the true case was it any either unjustice unkindnes or imprudence in the Scots to leave the King with his Parliment of England was this a selling of him to his enemyes the monys the Scots received at their departure out of England had no relation at all to the King they were scarce the sixth parte of the arreares due to them for bygon service they were but the one halfe of the sum capitulat for not only without any reference to the King but by an act of the English Parliament excluding expresly from that Treaty of the armies departure all consideration of the disposall of the Kings person The unexpected evills that followed in the Armyes rebellion in their seasing on London destroying the Parliament murthering the King no mortall eye could have forseen The Scots were ever ready to the utmost of their power to have prevented all these mischiefes with the hazard of what was dearest to them notwithstanding of all the hard measure they had often received both from the King and the most of their friends in England That they did not in time and unanimously stur to purpose for these ends they are to answer it to God who were the true Authors the innocency of the Church is cleered in the following treatise Among the many causes of these miseries the prime fountaine was the venome of Episcopall principles which some serpents constantly did infuse by their speaches and letters in the cares and heart of the King ●o keep him off from giving that satisfaction to his good subjects which they found most necessary and due the very same cause which ties up this day the hands of covenanters from redressing all present misorders could they have the King to joyne with them in their covenant to quit his unhappy Bishops to lay aside his formall and dead Liturgie to cast himselfe upon the counsels of his Parliaments it were easy to prophecie what quickly would become of all his enemies but so long as Episcopall and malignant agents compasseth him about though al that comes neer may see him as lovely hopefull and promising a prince for all naturall endowements as this day breaths in Europe or for a long time has swayed a Scepter in Britaine yet while such unlucky birds nest in his Cabin and men so ungraciously principled doe daily besiege him what can his good people doe but sit downe with mournfull eyes and bleeding hearts till the Lord amend these otherwise remediles and insuperable evils but I hold here lest I transgresse to farr the bounds of an Epistle Th●●eason off ●he dedication I count it an advantage to have you Lordship my judge in what here and in my following treatise I speak of Religion the liberties of our country and the Royall Family I know none fitter then your Lordship both to discerne and decerne in all these matters Me thinks I may say it without flattery which I never much loved either in my self or others that among all our Nobles for constancy in a zealous profession for exemplary practise in publick and privat duties the mercie of God has given to your Lordship a reputation second to none And for a rigid adhaerence to the Rights and Priviledges of your Country according to that auncient disposition of your Noble Family noted in our Historians especially that Prince of them George Buchanan the Tutor of your Grand-Father I know none in our Land who will pretend to go before you and for the affaires of the King your interest of blood in the Royall Family is so well known that it

under your Lordships patrociny unto the eye of the World for the vindication of my mother Church and Country from the Sicophantick accusations of a Stigmatised incendiary may produce the intended effects I rest your Lordships in all Christian duty R. B. G. Hague this 28 May 7 June 1649. CHAP. I. The Prelaticall faction continue resolute that the King and all His People shall perish rather then the Prelats not restored to former places of Power for to set up Popery Profanity and Tyranny in all the three Kingdoms WHile the Commissioners of the Church and Kingdom of Scotland The unseasonablenesse of D. Brambles writing were on their way make their first addresses to his Majesty for to condole his most lamentable afflictions and to make offer of their best affections and services for his comfort in this time of his great distresse it was the wisdom and charity of the Prelaticall party to send out Doctor Bramble to meet them with his Faire Warning For what else but to discourage them in in the very
