Mr. Caryll and Mr. Martiall preached before the English Commissioners very zealously and divinely Mr. Marshalls text was Matthew 11. and the 12. verse The words are thus And from the dayes of Iohn the Baptist till now the Kingdome of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force out of which he made a very seasonable Sermon and Mr. Caryll was most excellent The King also heard 2. Sermons that day one by one of the Scots Ministers and the other by an Englishman but His Majesty had as much dislike of the one as approbation of the other yet both of them were excellent preparatives against His Majesties receiving the Message from the English Commissioners Some of the Commissioners of each Kingdome visited each other that evening but in regard of the day nothing was done in a publick way save onely the workes of the day Yesterday Jan. 25. The Commissioners of both Kingdomes met and had much debate consulting of the great affaires of the Kingdome and particularly concerning the businesse about which the English Commissioners came viz. to receive the King and to bring His Majesty to Holmsby House in Northamptonshire as also declaring what Instructions they had received from the Parliament so farr as was needfull to declare to the Scots Commissioners and concerning them therein and advised with them in relation to the doing therein accordingly Some part of their debates were about those appointed to go with the King to Holmsby House and the English Commis acquainted the Scots who they were that the Houses had chosen and that they were then with them onely Mr. Maul was then in those parts and as they had heard with His Maj. already And the Scots Commis acquainted them that the Parliament of Scotland had chosen the Lord Loudon and the Lord Garthland to go with His Maj. as Commis from the Parliament of Scotland to Holmsby Some parts of which debates the Scots concurred immediately with the English and some things were to be considered of yet so that there is not the least obstruction or disagreement in any thing between them All things being carried on with a mutuall joynt advice union and affection That day the King was acquainted from the English Commissioners that they were come desiring His Maj. Audience to what they had to declare to him from the Parliament and His Majesty appointed them to come on the morrow and that they should have Audience and the Commissioners prepared all things in readinesse accordingly This day the Commissioners went to the King and have delivered their Message according to their Instructions for receiving his Maj. and coming with him to Holdenby house as also concerning other things related to what is contained in the said instructions To morrow or Thursday next at the furthest it is believed his Maj. will giue his answer In the mean time the Commissioners of both Kingdoms meet dayly to carry on the Work unanimously and proceed in all things in love and brotherly affection It is conceived that his Maj. will be delivered to the English Commissioners on Thursday Fryday or Satturday at furthest The Scots Souldiery march forwards a pase all the wayes are levelled for them to Barwicke There are Guns which they call the Hammiltons are shipped and much of their ammunition goods wives children c. are gone The souldiers passe away dayly they are all to march out on Saturday most of them goe very willingly especially those who are considerable though indeed some of them are discontented Gen. Leven carryes himself most excellently in the mannaging thereof The 100000. l. paid at Northallerton is come safe to the Scottish Army though with a small Convoy part of the way yet afterwards there was strength sufficient you would not thinke how the bonny Scots laugh fling up their caps at the sight of the monies to receive which they haue each of them a singular good will The Country indeed is deeply taxed by some very great Sesments are laid which is no more then was expected But Gen. Leven hath published a Proclamation upon the Commissioners complaint thereof upon the receipt of some Papers from the Gentlemen of the Country to command that no advance-monies be taken and hath written to our Commissioners there at Newcastle to assure them that if any Officers or Souldiers offend them that they shal be punished the grievances redressed the Country haue satisfaction And moreover that none shall take any Cattell or any thing from the Inhabitants save what they pay for Concerning which his Excellency is most full in his Proclamation and promise to the Commissioners professing by all meanes to use all possible care for a faire friendly parting concerning which the Commissioners have received great satisfaction The Scots Commissioners writ to the Parliament of Scotland at Edenburg about the dispute they had with the King concerning two Quaeres concerning his Maj. freedome and going into Scotland in safety with their Answer In consideration whereof that Parl. have sent a Declaration and some desires to the Parl. of England which you haue fuller knowledge of at London then we here And in answer thereto the Parl. of Scotland have also sent a message to Newcastle to let his Maj. know that he cannot go to Scotland and that they haue condescended to the Votes of the Parl of England for his Maj. going to Holmby house and therefore haue appointed the E. of Lowdon the L. Garthland to go with his Maj. as Commissioners from them And for his Maj. freedome that it is not so to be restrained by his Majesties going thither though with a guard for the present as that it shall be any diminution to his Maj. in his Kingly Government if he will take the Covenant and passe the Propositions of both Kingdoms for Peace nor any prejudice to his Posterity Major Generall Skippons Head-quarters is at Northallerton expecting the Scots surrendring of their Garrisons with him are the Commissioners of the Army the Treasurers Tellers Hostages c. The English Horse Foot are all quartered from thence about those parts all on the South side of Tees who carry themselves so fair y towards the Country that the Inhabitants doe highly applaud them And for the Scots they make no great stop in their preparations to be gone give very good satisfaction in all things so far as yet we haue had to do with them And it is the opinion both of the Commissioners of the Treasurers of the Army that all things will be faire to the last and that it will be as honest a parting now as it was the last time they came into England The Scots are already surrendring the English Garrisons as you may see by this following List resting Newcastle Ian. 26. 1646.
