A GREAT VICTORIE OBTAINED IN THE Kingdom of Scotland BY The Marquis of Argyle with 5000. Horse and Foot against the Rebellious A●my under the Command of the Lord Lanerick with the number killed and taken AND The Declaration of the Scots famous Engenier Saundy Hambleton against Monro touching his Design to have fired all the Cole-pits in Northumberland and other parts and his Protestation to joyn with the English to cut the throats of all such barbarous Scots ALSO Monroes retreating into Scotland and Lieut. Gen. Crumwell and Col. Gen. Lambert pursuing them LIKEWISE The Remonstrance of the Kingdom of Scotland and their Propositions to the Kingdom of England concerning the Kings Majesty their Army and Covenant COmmanded to be Printed and published and read in all the Parish Churches throughout the said Kingdom Signed A. Ker Cler. Imprinted at London for G H. 1648. The Resolution of the Generall Assembly of the Kingdom of Scotland concerning the Kings Majesty and their Army in England WHereas the Generall Assembly of the Kingdome of Scotland have seriously weighed and considered of the present Engagement against England and the involving of both Nations in a most bloody and intestine War the said Generall Assembly in the name of themselves and the whole Kingdome doe declare 1. That they search narrowly into the sins which have procured so great judgments and so sad an interruption of the worke of God that they examine themselves consider their wayes be much in humiliation and prayer study a reall and practicall Reformation That they also mourne and sigh for the abominations of the Land and stand in the gap to turne away the wrath Amongst all these fearfull sins the violation of the Solemne League and Covenant would not be forgotten but seriously laid to heart as that which eminently provoketh the Lord and procureth his judgements to be powred forth not only upon persons and families but also upon States and Kingdomes Covenant-breakers though in common things are reckoned by the Apostle in that Catologue of the abominations of the Gentiles But among the people of God where his great name is interposed the breach of Covenant even in meaner matters such as the setting of servants at liberty provoketh the Lord to say Behold I proclaime a liberty for you saith the Lord to the sword to the pestilence and to the famine and I will give the men that hath transgres●dwy Covenant and expressely mentioning Princes he addes I will give them into the hands of their enimies The History of the Gibeonites who surreptitiously procured the Covenant made to spare them and whom Saul some ages thereafter in his zeale to the children of Israel and Judah sought to flay as being cursed Cananites evidenced with what vengeance the Lord followeth Covenant-breakers whereof there wants not in prophane History also both forrigne and domesticke examples Therefore let all the inhabitants of the Land of whatsoever ranke seriously ponder how terrible judgements the violation of a Covenant of recently made so advisedly and in so weighty matters may draw on if not timously prevented by speedy repentance 2. That they so respect and honour Authority as that they bee not the servants of men nor give obedince to the will and authority of Rulers in any thing which may not cosinst with the word of God but stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made them fre and obey God rather then man 3. That they carefully avoid the dangerous rocks and snares of this time whereby many are taken broken 4. That they do not concur in nor any way assist this present Ingagement as they would not partake in other mens sines and so receive of their plagues but that by the grace assistance of Christ they stedfastly resolve to suffer the rod of the wicked and the utmost which wicked mens malice can afflict them with rather then to put forth their hand to iniquity 5. That they suffer not themselves to be abused with fair pretences and professions usuall in the mouthes of these that carry on this designe often published in their papers But remember that the foulest actions have not wanted specious pretences And if they who killed the Apostles did both pretend intend to do God good service what marvaile that they who ingaged against the Covenant pretend to ingage for it At the Assemblies 1598 1599 1600 It was declared with many vowes and attestations by the King Statesemen and Ministers who are aspiring to prelacy that they intended no such thing as a change of the Government of the Kirke or an introducing of Episcopacy yet they were really doing what they disclamed and professed not to doe And suppose that some who have an active hand in carrying on the present publike affaires have no designe either to destroy Religion or utterly to slieght it for it cannot be denyed but the very undertaking of this War sets the once suppressed Malignants on work againe and successe therein puts them in a capacity to set up according to their principles abolished and abjured corruptions which will be the more hardly hindered considering his Majesties propension and professed resolution that way Especially seeing his Majesties concessions though it hath been oft desired have never been plainly declared unsatisfactory by the Parliament The Kings negative voice asserted in the papers of the Commissioners of this Kingdom unto England which are owned in the late Declaration to the Kingdom of England as the sense of this Kingdom considered in relation to Religion makes the danger yet the greater and more palpable yea may reach further to shake and unsettle Religion established in this Land If to the premises this be added which is not only often declared but also demanded That his Maj. be brought to one of his houses in honour freedom and safety which may infer the admitting of his Maj. to the free exercise of his Royall power before security had from him for Religion or application made to him for the same who sees not now what hazard Religion runs certainly greater then a good intention can salve 6. That they do not mistake or misunderstand the nature of the true Reformed Religion and of the Government of Jesus Christ as if thereby either the prerogative of Kings Priviledges of Parl. or Liberties of Burges and other Corporations were any waies hurt or weakened whereas indeed Religion is the main pillar and upholder of civill authority or Magistracie and it is the resisting not the receiving of the Government of Christ which hath overturned civill powers If the Throne be established by righteousness as we are plainly taught by the word of God then it is overthrown by unrighteousnesse and iniquity 7. That they beware of all things which may insnare their Consciences as evill councell evill company false informations rash promises and especially that they beware of taking any Oaths subscribing any Bonds which may relate to the Covenant and Cause of God unless such Oaths or bonds be approved by the generall Assembly or their Commissioners for the publike affaires of the Kirk 8. That they do not cast away their confidence nor sink into dispair because of the present dangers and difficulties but live by faith wait for better times and continue stedfast as seeing him who is invisible firmly believing that such a course as is not of God but against him will come to naught 9. To remember that as the violation of the Covenant by some in England doth not set us free from the observation thereof and as no Laws nor Authority on earth can absolve us from so solemn an obligation to the most high God which not only hath been professed by this Kirk but in a Petition of the City of London and in publike Testimonies of many of the Ministery of England So we are not acquited and assoiled from the obligation of our solemn Covenant because of the troubles and confusions of the times But that in the worst of times all those duties whereunto by Covenant we obliege our selves do still lie upon us for we have sworn and must perform it concerning that cause and Covenant wherein we solemnly ingaged That we shall all the dayes of our lives Zealously and constantly continue therein against all opposition and promove the same according to our power against all Impediments whatsoever And if against all lets and Impediments whatsoever then the altering of the way of opposition or of the kind of Impediments doth not alter the nature or tye of the Covenant but we are obliged to all the duties therein contained Signed A. Ker. Cler. Regist By letters from the North it is advertized That the Marquis of Argyle hath raised a gallant Army consisting of 5000. Horse and Foot and hath fallen upon the new levied forces Commanded by the E. of Lanerick totally routing and dispersing the same and hath killed and taken about 1000. of them as our intelligence saith Whereupon the Committee of Estates sent post to Monro to remand him back who hearing of the said tydings vowed reveng upon the English calling a Councel of War at Morpeth in Northumberland who resolved to fire all the Coal-pits in those parts that so they might augment the price of Scottish Coal and take an advantage upon this Kingdom for their late losse But Lieut. Gen. Crumwells horse pursuing them so fast they chose rather to bear plunder and pillage and to shift for their lives rather then to act any further design to retard their liberty now hastening over the River Tweed Some report that the Lieut. Gen. wil pursue them into Scotland by the way of Berwick and Col. Gen. Lambert by the way of Carlisle divers of the County people go along with them to retake and bring back their Cattell again sure it will be justice to make restitution Dear Saundy Hambleton so called by the Lords the Scots famous Engineer hath declared against Monro saying That such was his barbarous usage of the English that he hoped they would all rise and cut their throats protesting that he would joyn and engage with them and leave not a Scot alive that should execute such injustice and inhumain Barbarisme Whereupon he disserted them leaving the Artillery and all the Gim tricks behind FINIS
