that upon no tearms hee would consent to a Capitulation but such Troupes or Troupers as would march with him he would undergo the same hazard with Sir Marmaduck and they might follow him which the Duke hearing said that he would not stay behind and therewith Sir Marmaduck and Calander went to horse and gave order to the Troupes to draw out to a hill about half a mile on the other side of the Town beyond the River yet it was long before any considerable number came to the place and Sir Marmaduck sending to Calander to know if he was ready my Lord desired him to have a little patience but he sent him back word that the day was well advanced and hee was to have a long march he could not and so marched away which Calander seeing spoke to the Officers and Souldiours willing them to repair to their standards in order but none almost or very few did though he assured them that he would die with his armes in his hand after such misfortune rather then Capitulate yet what ever he said was little regarded and because the Duke was absent no man obeyed at last he told them that such as had a minde to show themselves men for the credit of their Countrey might march along with him and those that were ill mounted and had a minde to treat might stay with the Duke but few offered to stirre so that he rode after Sir Marmaduck alone to show him how things stood and take leave of him comming back he found some Officers sent from the Duke to desire his return for consultation and the Duke gave order that a partie should be sent back to Utoxater whither the Army might return and there deliberate of what should be done to that effect the Lord Levinstoun was sent and Calander visited all the avenues and barricaded them posing guards every where then orders beeing given for all Officers to repair to the Duke Hee then desired Calander to go and advise with them what was most expedient thereupon Calander asked him whither to march or to fight he was ready to obey but if it were to Capitulate he absolutely disclamed it and so went to his quarter where he instantly gave order to the dismounted men and Stragglers of the Foot to go to the Church-yard and that all Officers that were quartered in the Town should bring thither such armes as could be found there for arming of them These Officers who were assembled by the Dukes order having delivered there opinions when Calander came back the Duke told him they had found it fit to send a trumpet to the Enemy but Calander replyed that he disassented from such a base way and therefore would give no advice nor adhere to their Treaty neither be included into it but rather die like a man of honour fighting if he could finde but ten men to share in his fortune with him the Duke notwithstanding sent out a Trumpet and in a short while after some Troupers drew up on the markat-place before his lodging which certainly was not done without the knowledge of some chief Officers for when Calander went out to speak to them they were not so well instructed as afterwards till putting them in minde of the Oath he made unto them the night before never to leave them if they would play the part of gallant men but that he would upon no condition Capitulate choosing rather to run the uttermost hazard of his life with honour then condescend to so base a way of Treaty if otherwayes he could not escape the hands of his Enemies at length they seemed to be a little satisfied so he returned to the Dukes lodging and Colonell Lockhart was sent down to dismisse them but toward the evening their number increased and seasing upon Calanders Horse and armes they would not suffer him to go out of the Dukes lodging but keept him there prisoner nor were any of his servants permitted to come near him but before that uproar began assoon as it was concluded by the Duke and the other Officers to send and Capitulate the trumpet beeing gone Major Gib and another were sent as Ostages In the evening the trumpet came back and one of the Enemies with him who found us in this posture of munity and that encreasing hourly it was then clear moon-shine when they rose to such a height that they releived the guards which the Leivetenaut General had posed sent up 2 or 3 of their number to the Dukes chamber with their armes in their hands as Commissioners from the rest which he seeing declared to them that he had no minde to leave them and spoke unto the whole body upon the market place out at a window the Enemies trumpet who was in the next room heard all Calander incensed with that scurvy dealling told that such base way of detaining him prisoner was not the meanes to get good quarters beside the dishonour of it Whereupon some words past betwixt the Duke and him upon his averring of the same as they sate down to Supper he still telling him he would not adhere to any Treaty but die sooner if he could not otherwise escape and that they would repent and quite their posts if the Enemy did once approach at last after diverse false alarmes that night toward the morning they had one for certain of the Enemies advance which made these mutiniers abandon the market-place returning some of the Earle of Calanders horses and armes unto his quarter at which time the Duke beeing in his naked bed Calander took horse with some few Officers and visited all the posts where there was yet no sight of the Enemy after having told the Duke that he would upon no condition Capitulate and that so often before but particularlie when the Lord Kenmoore parted when it was also time for him to be gone as any judicious man may think seeing the duke had Capitulate and sent out Ostages and so with his Nephew the Lord Levingfton some others he went away leaving the Duke to his Treaty but as he came about a quarter of a mile from the Town he was told by certain Officers and some Country people that order was given from some Officers at Utoxater to barricade the end of the lane whereby neither Officer nor Souldiour might escape that way and drawing up those Troupers that came with him he again told them as before he had done that all such as were ill mounted or had a minde to Capitulate might return to the Duke and though he had no guide yet notwithstanding holding fast to his first resolution he would take his hazard and then riding on with the number of sixscore horse or thereabout Himself took the charge of one third part giving another to the Lord Levingstoun and the third to be commanded by Colonell Keyth brother to the Earle Marshall past through Asburn intending to follow Sir Marmaduck Langdall but there he was informed of his disbanding of his people and marching on further came amongst hills where the Countrey people rose in armes upon him and there by reason many horses lost their shooes with so long marching diverse were taken prisoners Colonell Keyth with the first by some of the troupes of Darby but marching on still toward Chesterfield about the evening beeing within a mile and a half of the Town intending to have past through it and there halting to know whether there were any of the Enemy quartered night fell on and the Countrey all about firing to give notice of us we were informed that some troupes were come there and before we could get on horse-back a partie of foot fell upon us which we repulsed killing some and so marcht away it beeing very dark to the right hand toward Bolsover the Lord Levingstoun having the Rear with Major Drummond and other Officers before we came near Bolsover lost their way we then halting upon a heath and missing them beeing very few in number our horses extreamly wearied the Earle of Calander marched back a mile to see if he could learn any thing of them whom not finding and it beeing very rainie weather hee intended notwithstanding if he could to march to Pomfret But being misled by the guide he then had those few Officers which were remaining assoon as it was day the Countrey beeing full of the enemies Troupes thought it fittest every man to shift for himself and so we parted recommending one another to the protection of God and I took my own way not doubting but that same providence which had brought mee so far in an Unfortunate journey would yet bring me out of danger bnt what befell me in my taking afterwards and my prison from which I am now by the grace of God got free before I found Scots ground to go upon Shall bee the Subject of your next entertaynment And now to conclude all our misfortunes and end this tedious discourse I shall briefly tell you that after all the difficulties oppositions and delayes in the levying of the Army in Scotland our slow march at our entry into England wanting provision and waiting for the cannon and ammunition the not joyning of the Forces from Ireland and the Dukes falling short of Preston giving the enemy a fair opportunity to fall in betwixt the horse and the foot then the leaving of the ammunition was the losse of the foot the tampering to Capitulate discouraged the horsemen and the Dukes design to treat after so many great oversights together with the mutiny at Utoxater lost the horse shamefully when they might have been saved to recover a new Army of foot again And thus craving you pardon for my prolixity and detaining you so long in a discourse which could not be contracted in fewer words when the full and plain Truth was to bee told I here take my leave what rests concerning my self and our other Friends you shall hear at another occasion from Your Servant Edinburgh 2 of October
