and the Scots were imployed in Crowning the King who had been some time before at St. Johnstons where he received the news of the loss of the Scots at Dunbar and of the death of his Sister the Princess Elizabeth who died about the same time at Carisbrook Castle in the Isse of Wight The Town of Scoon was appointed for his Coronation where one hundred and fi●ty Kings of that Nation had been Crowned before thither therefore Jan. 1. 1651. the King with the Nobility Barons and Burgesses in their Robes removed the whole Scotch Army standing all the way as a Guard from St. Johnstons thither having heard the Sermon preached by Mr. Robert Dowglas fitting upon a Scaffold erected in the Church he took the ordinary Coronation Oath and subscribed the National Covenant and likewise the solemn League and Covenant After which he ascended upon a Stage a little higher and sate down on the Throne when the people being demanded four times by the King at Arms Whether they were willing to accept of King Charles for their King and become subject to his Commandments They express'd their consent with loud acclamations God five King Charles the second Then the Crown was set upon his head by the Marquess of Argyle and the Nobility touching it with their right hands swore Allegiance to him in these words By the eternal and almighty God who liveth and reigneth for ever I shall support thee to the uttermost The people also holding up their hands swore obedience according to the usual Oath Then the King and Nobility departed in the same pomp as they entred and after a stately Dinner return'd to St. Johnstons This being over the Scots consulted how to raise such an Army as might drive the English out of Scotland to which parpose after they had Excommunicated Collonel Stranghan Smeton and others who came into the English they gave out Commissions for raising more Forces and many new commanders were made Midleton being Lieutenant General of the Horse Soon after which David Lestey their Lieutenant General with a party of eight hundred Horse made an attempt upon Lithgow where was Collonel Sanderson with a Regiment of Horse who received them so warmly that the Scors retreated without entring the Town Cromwel about this time being willing to gain all those Garrisons on the South side of the Frith he ordered Collonel Fenwick with two Regiments of Horse and Foot to endeavour to reduce Hume Castle who coming before it sent in this summons to Cockburne the Governor Sir His excellency the Lord General Cromwel hath commanded me to reduce this castle you now possess under his Obedience which if you now deliver into his hands you shall have fit terms for your self and those with you and ease the adjacent parts of a great charge if you refuse I doubt not in a short time by the Lords assistance to obtain what now I demand I expect your answer by seven of the Clock to morrow morning Your Servant George Fenwick To the Governor of Hume Castle To whom the Governor returns the following concesited Answer Right Honourable I have received a Trumpeter of yours as he tells me without the pass to render Hume-castle to the Lord General Cromwel please you I never saw your General nor know your General as for Hume-castle it stands upon a Rock Given at Hume-castle this day before seven a Clock So resteth without prejudice to my Native Country Your most humble Servant Thomas Cockburne For the Governor of Berwick After which to shew his confidence in the strength of the place he sent Collonel Fenwick the following Verses ' I William of the Wastle ' Am now in my Castle ' And awe the Dogs in the Town ' Shan't gar me gang down But notwithstanding this resolute and quibbling answer when the English with their Culverin and Mortar-piece had made a small breach the besieged bear a parley and having formerly refused the conditions offered were compelled now to surrender upon mercy and the Governour and Garrison consisting in seventy eight Officers and Souldiers gang'd out of the Castle After which collonel Monk with three Regiments of Horse and Foot laid Siege to Timptallon castle which had much molested the country with their excursions against which they plaid their Mortar-pieces forty eight hours together without success They then batter'd the castle with six large cannon which did such notable execution that the Scors desired a Truce and terms to march away but none would be granted save to have their lives saved which was at last accepted and the castle yielded with all the Guns Arms Ammunition and Provision therein the taking this castle was of great concern to the English the passage from Edenburgh to Berwick being now almost clear But notwithstanding all the care that was used the English were daily surprized and killed in small stragling parties which occasioned General Cromwel to publish the following Proclamation Finding that divers under my command are not only daily spoil'd and robb'd but also sometimes barbarously and inhumanely stain by a sort of Outlaws and Robbers not under the discipline of any Army and finding that all our tenderness to the country produceth no better effect than their compliance with and protection of such persons and considering that it is in the power of the country to detect and discover them many of them being Inhabitants of those places where commonly the Outrage is committed and perceiving that their motion is ordinarily by the invitation and according to the intelligence given them by Country-men I do therefore declare That wheresoever any under my command shall be hereafter robbed or spoiled by such parties I will require life for life and a plenary satisfaction for their goods of those Parishes and places where the Fact shall be committed unless they discover and produce the Offendor And this I wish all persons to take notice of that none may plead Ignorance Given under my hand at Edenburgh Nov. 5. 1650. O. Cromwel In pursuance hereof several sums of money were levied upon such Parishes where any Robberies and Murthers were committed and all abettors and assisters were condemned and executed General Cromwel with his Army after this marched from Edenbargh and often attempted to pass over into Fife but the season and difficult passage not permitting it they retire to their Winter Quarters and received all manner of provisions from the English fleet newly arrived at Leith which was a great incouragement to the souldiers in the midst of the hardships and diseases to which they were exposed and of which the General had a great share by many violent fits of the contagious distemper of that country which brought him to the very brink of the Grave so that it was reported he was dead to the great joy of the Scots who were so pleased with the news that they would hardly suffer themselves to be better informed for a Scotch Trumpeter coming out of Fife to Edenburgh to treat about restoring a ship
