But behold here we present it unto your view as a thing worthy of your diligent perusall and serious consideration And though it bee a small foreshortned piece yet herein is discovered the evill dealing of those who pretend themselves to be the friends of truth but are not so in deed and in truth for if they had intended as they pretended sure they would not have shewed themselves as they now appeare to be even deceitfull falsehearred covetous plunderers and oppressors tormentors and destroyers of the Countries If they were as they would by us for the present be accounted to be then they would not so entertain the Papisticall and Prelaticall Snakes in their bosomes hold secret consultation with such enemies of God breathe out threatnings against the good protect encourage and uphold the bad nor preserve and reserve them to act their mischievous purposes If these men were indeed as they ought to be then would they not make their solemn League Covenant to be as the Serpents taile is to turne which way their minde is bent to wrap in rapes murthers robberies persecutions and what they please as if the Scots will must bee a Law to force the free-born subjects of England contrary to their Fundamentall Lawes O thou virgin-daughter of Israel in England stirre up thy strength mount on high with thy Eagles wings of divine protection and though these thine enemies have gathered the corrupt and putrified waters from divers places to make up one Sea to spue out at once upon thee to swallow thee up alive on a sudden they shall not be able to prevaile against thee though hell gates be on their side and hand joyn in hand they shall not goe unpunished Consider one thing more which is that the Papists Prelats and Antichristian Presbyters are now linked all in one chain and doing one work even opposing the heavenly powers and these three are like if not the very same with those three unclean Spirits like Frogges which came out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet Revel 16.13 Such Spirits of Divels which delude sinfull men with their false miracles are the prime fomenters and raisers of bloody warres and sedition under the pretence of Religion and Reformation The information of Thomas Hanmer June the 12. 1646. At the Committee for the Army and after reported to the house of Commons Having some cause to believe the latter end of March last that there was a private treaty betweene the King and the Scots and that the King was upon a resolution to go into Scotland or to the Scotch Army and that this treaty was m●●iged by the intervention of Montrevill the French Agent and designed in France I conceived this Councel and intention of the Kings not onely infinitely prejudiciall to himselfe and this Kingdome but dishonourable to the English Nation in discerting them and thereby rendring their sinclity more suspected then the Scots and thought it my duty both as an English man and as his Majesties servant to discover my knowledge thereof in season to such as I thought might possibly prevent the mischiefes which I feare would attend the designe I therefore acquainted some of the Committee of both Kingdomes with what followes according to the times hereafter mentioned The 4. of Aprill That one of the Scots Commissioners told me that he believed and would lay a waiger that the King would be in London or in the Scoch Army very speedily perhaps before Wednesday night next if he could passe and that if he came to the Scots they would receive him and entertaine him civilly and stand to him in his rights Another Scottish Gentleman being a brother in law of the said Commissioner told me the same evening that the said Commissioner had in great secresy assuer'd him that the King would be very sodainly with the Scots and that a messenger was sent to the King the night before from a party here to advise him what to do and that Newarke would be very speedily surrendred 10. of Aprill the said Commissioner told me that the King would endeavour to get to their Army before Newarke and if he came safe thither would send to the Parliament to offer to passe the Propositions of Vxbridge and there upon if the Parliament refused a peace he doubted not but 2. parts of 3. in England would be for the King and he was sure that the whole Kingdome of Scotland would be as one man for him for then there would be no Montrosses 29. of Aprill Being the fast day the said Commissioner and his brother in law called at my lodging and the Commissioner with great joy told me the newes of the Kings getting safe out of Oxford and that some of the Scottish horse before Newarke would advance to meete him to bring him to the Parliament here which he said smiling I then asked whither Lesly would receive him and his brother answered that my Lord Lauderdall had gone downe to take order for that The 4. of May the said Commissioners brother told me that they did not yet heare where the King was but perhaps he would go to Scotand first and not to the Army that he might first disband Montrosse and settle that Kingdome that the Scots would keepe all faire correspondency with the Parliament untill they had satisfied the people with their papers and declarations that they expected 5000. more out of Scotland and that if they came to a breach with the parliament they could with the forces they would draw out of Ireland and Scotland make an Army of 6000. and 26000. Foote and should be assisted out of France with 3000. Horse and 10000. Foote And Horse were excepted out of Denmarke And the Sweed would certainly aide them And they doubted not of a great party in England The 7. of May he confirmed this assurance of forraign Succors and said that Newarke would be offered to the Scots but it should be delivered to the Parliament to carry all appearance of fairnesse and

then the Scots Army would immediately retreate to Newcastle that the King would suddenly send letters to the Parliament here to the City of London to offer peace upon the propositions of Vxbridge the same night the said Commissiondrs told me the City of London would be for them and that the King would send letters to the Parliament and City to the aforesaid purpose The Saturday morning before the Kings last letters were delivered to the Parliament the Commissioners said brother in law informed me of the tennour thereof and that my Lord Balcarrisd had brought copies of them to shew before hand to their friends heere and that the Messenger stayed by the way with the letters and should not come with them to the house till they had consulted heere and agreed upon the fittest time for the delivery of them I understood also out of France before the Kings going from Oxford that they expected daly to heare of the Kings safe arrivall in the North and was informed that Montrevill the French Agent had treated the businesse betwixt the King and the Scots and when he had concluded on all things with the King he went before to Leslys Army to take order for his reception there and that the King had the honour and faith of the Scots engaged to him to stick to him in the businesse of the Militia and to be used well in all things if he would comply with them in the Church Government which they must in honour stand for and that the Queene Regent of France and the Queene of England had agreed to the designe of the Kings going to the Scots who labour now to have the Prince there also I meane the Scots labour his highnesse coming to Scotland THO HANMER This being thus subscribed was after by the said Gentleman Thomas Hanmer being called into the barr own'd and avou'd is that he would stand too A letter from sundry of the Committee of Yorke to the Committee of the Lords and Commons Although we are a most ashamed still to trouble you with the sad story of the condition of that part and this poore County which lies groaning and now ready to expire under the burthen of Scottish horse being very confident that if somthing of a more generall concernment had not intervened you would ere this have provided and applyed such a plaister as might have either cured or cased our fore yet we must crave leave to put you in minde that if reliefe come not presently it will be too late to thinke upon us when we are perished and the whole Kingdome indangered in our ruine for we are brought to so low an ebb that a very few dayes wil now serve to stop our breath and quit you of our further Clamour and it cannot be expected but that nature will make some reluctancy in its dissolution our feare is that extreamity of misery will produce dispaire and that men will not be able with patience to see their wives and children dye for want of bread before their faces which unevitably they must do if not speedily prevented Sir some of us have seene the sufferings and all of us the teares of the Cuntry which are such as we cannot expresse nor expect you can conceive them to be so great and many as they are besides their extraordinary losses and charges their ordinary essesments where the Scottish forces are quartered are levied and payed after the rate of about 140000. l. a month upon the whole County which is 2● times so much as they ought to levy by the Ordnance of Parliament of the association a burden by continuance growne so insupportable as that the Country redacted to this weaknesse is not able to undergo it and when they can pay no longer we do not know but may well feare what will ensue Whereas we understand that you were informed that Vanderhursts Regiment was reduced it is true they were lately reduced forth of Cleaveland into Richmondshire where the most of them are dispersed among other Regiments and so we feare it may prove a greater plague to the Country then before they being for the most part English Caviliers and disorderly beyond beliefe Yesterday a Major of Sir Iohn Brownes Regiment came to us with a message from his Coll. out of Cleaveland that they desire inlargment of Quarters which we not being able to grant he returned displeased Thus having given you this account and implored your speedy care of our fainting condition and of the danger to the publike which is imminent we conceive we discharge our duties and hope we shall be free from the blame of what we feare may unhappily fall out if not timely prevented by takeing such speedy course for the removall of the Scottish horse out of this poore wasted County as to your wisedomes may seem fit which is the cry of the dying people and request of Yorke Iune the 26. 1646.

Bourchier Here followeth the Copy of a Letter sent from a Gentleman of good Worth in Yorke touching the Scots proceedings in England being worth our observation SIR HAving seene and perused some Papers presented to the Parliament by the Committee of Scotland concerning their intentions I was desirous to satisfie my selfe by the best grounds and knowledge I could of the reallity thereof and their performances accordingly having heard much talke that no Papists nor Cavaleers were admitted to the King since his comming into the Army I found that observed as it was when the King set forth his Oathes to Men and Vowes to God That no Papist should come to his Court nor into his Army for at his being at Doncaster the Gentlemen principally that kept him company there were Sir James Lashly a Papist and a Cavaleere Colonell Ashburnham and Mr. Hudson and to colour the surrender of these Gentlemen to the Parliament they had a Message brought from London post by Colonell Stockdall to Sherburne of the approach of 5000. Horse of Sir Thomas Fairefax his Army which occasioned a suddaine march away with the King and a Guard to be kept against Yorke who at his comming to Durham had no small number of Cavaliers to welcome him thither whose words and gestures did so terrifie the well affected considering the accesse they had to kisse the Kings hand and make knowne their conditions and complaints vnto him that it made many well affected to the Parliament to retire to places of security fearing then that which subtilty and time will without question produce At his comming to Newcastle further to colour their designe they set a Citizen to guard every post that no English-man should come into that Towne without knowledge what he was where by experience I know the free egresse and regresse the Cavaliers have had into the Towne and to his Majestie namely Sir Hugh Carth-Wright Sir
