he confirmed them to their great ioy contentment Thus spent the Lord of Halirud-house the first part of Monday in Barwick and dyned with the Magistrates In the afternoone the Lord Gouernour and his chiefe Officers of place called together all the Souldiers that were vnder pay so did the Mayor and Aldermen conuene all the Communaltie of the Towne to whom when the oath was read and the Magistrates had certified them that they had beene their example the L. of Halyrud-house wondered at and much commended their ioy and readinesse to be sworne seruants to so regall a Maister which he amply discoursed to his Maiestie at his returne to Edenburgh the next day not hyding any of their forward applauses but deliuered their willingnesse to his Highnesse with expresse and liuely words assuring him by his entrance into England at that litle doore how welcome into the wide house his Excellence should be While this was a doing in Barwick there drew to the King hourely most of the Nobilitie in Scotland with sundry Knights and Gentle-men gratulating the great blessings befallen his Highnesse and attending his Royall pleasure Besides many numbers of Gentlemen came out of England to salute his Maiestie all whom he graciously welcommed and honoured one of them with the Order of Knight-hood being M. Iohn Paiton sonne to Sir Iohn Paiton Lieutenant of the Tower of London this being to that noble Gentleman no little glory that he was the first Knight yea named by the Kings Maiestie himselfe his first Knight that was made by our Soueraigne after he was nominated and truly knowne to bee the mightiest king in Europe During the continuance of his Maiestie in Scotland before his Progresse towardes England his whole care was for the peaceable gouernment of of that realme from which he was a while to part And to that end he had sundry conferences with his Nobilitie laying the safest proiects that in his wisedome and their experiences seemed likely for effecting his royall desire which God willing will come to passe to his great liking and benefite of both the Realmes But that it might more to his people appeare he in person came graciously to the Citie of Edenburgh vnto the publike Sermon and after the Sermon was finished in a most learned but more louing Oration he exprest his occasion of leauing thē to the Burgesses a number of the people exhorting thē to contiune in obedience being the bond that binde Princes to affect their subiects which broken on their part he trusted should neuer be and of his they were assured perswading them also to agreement amongst themselues being the bond of charitie that tyed all men especially Christians to loue and beare one with another In which obedience to him and agreement amongst themselues if they continued howsoeuer he was in a manner at that time constrained to leaue them yet hee would in his owne person visite them that shortly in times conuenient and most necessarie for his owne aduancement and their benefite Yet for all his kingly Oratorie milde behauiour and true intention the peoples hearts against his departure were euen dead and griefe seized euery priuate mans raynes sauing onely those that were made happy by attending his Royall person into England For now they began duly to thinke vpon his vnmatched vertues which neuer the most malicious enemie could impeach being in the worlds eie innocent of any capitall and notorious crime but such as may be incident to any iust man who dayly fall but neuer fall away they now considered his affabilitie mercie iustice and magnanimitie they remembred how in late yeares Scotland by his gouernment had increased in more riches then in the time of many his Predecessors Besides his care for establishing true Religiō his Traffique almost with al Nations the royaltie of his marriage the blessings hoped for by his issue And such an vniuersall sorrow was amongst them that some of the meaner sort spake euen distractedly and none but at his departing which yet we are not come vnto expressed such sorrow as in that Nation hath seldome bin seen the like albeit the Kings Maiestie was possessed of that which the cōmon sort of the Nation long wished for I meane the Kingdome The 31. of March being Thursday his Maiestie with great solemnitie and pompe was proclaimed King of England Scotland Fraunce and Ireland at the Market Crosse of Edenbrugh in presence of the whole Officers of Estate of the Realm and many of the Nobilitie of Scotland and sundry Knights and Gentlemen of England And in the euening of that day there were many hundreds of Bonefires made all about the Citie with great feasting and merriment held till the appearing of the next day But as ioyfull as they were of his Maiesties great aduauncement and enlarging of his Empire so were they as I before noted for their priuate want of him no lesse filled with griefe as aboue all other times was most apparantly expressed at his departure from Edenburgh towards England the cries of poore people being so lamentable and confused that it moued his Maiestie to much compassion yet seeing their clamors was only of affection and not grounded on reason with many gracious and louing words he left them and proceeded on his Progresse It was the fift of April being Tuesday that his Maiestie departed from Edenburgh gallantly accompanied with multitudes of his Nobility Lords Barons and Gentlemen of Scotland and some French as the French Ambassadour being Leger in Scotland whose wife was carried betwixt Edenburgh and London by eight pioners or porters one foure to relieue the other foure by turnes carrying her in a chare with slings as also his Maiestie being accompanied with his own attendants as the Duke of Lennox the Earle of Argyle the Earle of Murrey the Earle of Cassils the Earle of Mar the Lorde Home the Lord Oliphant and sundry other too tedious in this place to bee repeated for that their seuerall names shall hereafter bee more particularly expressed Besides there were in his Highnes traine many numbers of gallant and well appointed English Knights and Genlemen who attended his Maiestie that day from Edenburgh vnto Dunglasse a house of the Lord Homes where his Excellence reposed himselfe that night Wednesday the sixt of April his Maiestie progressed from Dunglasse towards Barwicke hauing then attending on him many more Noblemen Knights and Gentlemen besides the Lords Wardens of the borders of England Scotland attended by the Borderers with seuerall companies to receiue him The Lord Gouernour of Barwick also being accompained with al the Counsell of warre the Constables with their Cornets of horse and diuers of the Captaines the band of Gentlemen Pensioners with diuers Gentlemen aduanced forward to entertaine conduct his Maiestie into the Towne of Barwick Happy day when peaceably so many warlike English gentlemē wēt to bring in an English Scottish king both included in one person into that towne that many a 100. years hath bin
