THE TRVTH OF THE PROCEEDINGS IN SCOTLAND Containing the DISCOVERY Of the late CONSPIRACIE With divers other Remarkeable Passages Related in a Letter written from Edinburgh the 19. of October 1641. WHEREUNTO Js Added An Abstract of a Letter Written by his Majesty from Edinburgh to one of the Clarkes of the Counsell the 18. of October 1641. Printed Anno Domini 1641. COZEN YOur Letter of the 12. of this instant came to my hands upon the 18. inclosed in my wives of the same date you taxe my long silence which indeed J can scarce pardon my selfe ia but to thnt breach of faith you charge me with I must plead not guilty I do not forget what promise you drew from me at our parting I thinke I have stretched it but it is yet unbroken you object my carefulnesse in the discharg of my debts of this kind to my other friends your selfe being unremembred give me leave to say this J paid you but by d. the satisfaction I shall give you for so long forbearance is to pay you by ls and to bring in the grosse summe at once The businesse of greatest weight which hath bin agitate in this Parliament since my comming into these parts is that of the election of Counsellors Officers of Estate and Lords of Session which by the Treaty are to be nominated and chosen by the King with the advice and approbation of the Parlament The onely man who hath as yet bin chosen according to that agreement is the Lord Lowdon who was nominated to the Office of Lord Chancellor by the King and allowed by the Parliament without the least contradiction And J beleeve there are others whom before this time the Kings favour and the sense the Parliament hath of their good deservings would have preferred to some of the places now void if the Divell had not stirred vp some turbulent and seditiovs spirits to interrupt their proceedings that he might disturbe the setled peace and turne all things here into confusion and bloud-shed At the first men onely feared private quarrels and feudes which though they have formerly had lamentable sad effects in this Nation yet had they not that generall malignity in them which these late troubles doe discover It appeares now that the aime was not at particular persons but at the cause which must needs have bin sorely shaken if so great pillars had bin pulled away At the first there appeared onely the Lord Carre Son to the Earle of Ropborough and the Earle of Cranford was but his second but now the Earle of Cranford is a principall how many Seconds he hath is yet undiscovered It is now the judgment of most men that the first businesse of the L. Carre was but an untimely birth of this Plot which is now come to light The first was thus The Earle of Cranford the Lord Carre and some others being at Supper in Master William Murrayes Chamber there came in Sir Iames Hamilton whose company the Lord Carre disliking because of his Relation to the Marquesse of Hamilton after some exception taken to him told him his chiefe meaning the L. Marquesse was a Traytor and had juggled with the King these 2 or 3 yeares These words he afterwards backt with a Challenge which he sent to the Marquesse by the hand of the Earle of Cranford These passages comming to the notice of the King and Parliament they were so sensible of the unworthinesse of those carriages that they ordered the Lord Carre to make this Submission I Henry Lord Carre have already acknowledged my offence to his Majesty asked his pardon which I do now likewise to this Honourable House of Parliament and for the scandalous words con●e●ning the Marquesse of Hamilton which were spoken by me I confesse them to be rash groundlesse and that I am sorry for the same This Submission it was thought reasonable hee should make at the Parliament Barre as a Delinquent in a very high nature But the noble Marquis was so affected with the sense which both his Majesty and the Parliament had of the injury done him and the reparation they had made him that with a great deale of earnestnesse he pressed and did prevaile that the Lord Carre might not give that satisfaction in a place of so much ignominy but might have the favour to stand in the middle of the house there to obey what they had imposed upon him After this acknowledgment made by the Lord Carre it pleased his Majesty and the Parliament to make this Declaration following WHereas there hath bin certain scandalous words spoken of the Marquesse of Hamilton tending to the prejudice of his honour and fidelity to his Majestie and his Countrey which are now acknowledged by Henry Lord Carre speaker thereof in presence of his Majesty and the Estates of Parliament to have beene rash and groundlesse For the speaking whereof hee is heartily sorry and since his Majesty and the Estates of Parliament knowes them to be so Therefore his Majesty and the said Estates declare the said Marquesse of Hamilton to be free thereof and esteemes him to be a Loyall Subject to his Majesty and a faithfull Patriot to his Countrey and the said Estates remit the further Censure of the said Lord Carre to the Kings Majesty This businesse thus passed over the Parliament returned to that which they were formerly upon which was the election of Officers of Estate And for a faire accomodation of all things they appointed Committee consisting of 6 of every Estate for the Lords were the Lord Chancellor Lowdon the Earle of Argile the Earle of Cassels the Earle of Glencarne the Lord Balmerinoth President of the Parliament and the Lord Lindsey And for the Barons and Burgesses sixe of either Estate men of knowne wisedome and integrity whom they intrusted to make some over-turnes to his Majesty privately and afterward to impart them to the severall Estates In few dayes their consultations had this issue that they delivered in a paper to the King which his Majesty approving they after that presented to the severall Estates The tenour whereof was THE Estates of Parliament considering that albeit Iohn Earle of Traquaire c. are cited before them and accused as guilty of divers bainous and Treasonable Crimes perpetrated and commttted by them against the Common-wealth contained in their severall Ditties which they have just reason to prosecute Neverthelesse the said estates of Parliament taking into their consideration his Majesties most gracious goodnesse towards this his native Kingdome and his fatherly care and wisdome in composing of all past differences and providing for the future to the great joy and happinesse of all his Subjects doe in retribution thereof with an unanimous consent to testifie their high respect and thankfelnesse to his Majesty And that his Majesty may joyfully returne a contented Prince from a contented people to the setling of his royall affaires in his other Dominions beleeving that the same will be acceptable to his Majesty and
