Hackers Regiment and some other of the Parl. of Englands forces marching into Northumberland LONDON Printed by R. W. 1650. A MESSAGE from the KING of SCOTLAND to the PARLIAMENT convened at EDENBOROUGH Honoured Sir YOU were once the Object whom I much honour'd and esteem'd for the Truths sake that formerly remain'd in You and was so faithfully promoted by you which makes me admire that so great an Alchymist as to extract honey out of the Rock should now suck poyson out of a flower by changing your former principles of truth and adhering to erroneous opinions and new inventions of men I cannot compare you to a Bee unlesse for your sting but to a Spider for sucking poyson from that savoury doctrine of Reformation in Religion against which you spit so much of your venom However I shall not return you railing for railing but in a spirit of meekness endeavour to convince you that so you may no longer be ensnared by being wrapt up in those clouds of darkness but that you may after so great a change once more shine forth in your native Country as a bright Star from the highest Canopy with splendour and beauty for the giving light to those who are so wilfully blinded in the ways of Truth and purity for assuredly all those who profess that discipline are such whom God doth both honour and love therefore be no more a Changeling from Truth but a stable pattern in the ways of holiness that so you may remain in safety under the present power and constitution and likewise to rest your self satisfied and obedient to those who sit at the Helm of Magistracy Thus having given you a hint of your backsliding or falling off I shall at present insist no further on those circumstances but acquaint you with such Occurrences and Overtures which daily run in the current of the great stream now ebbing and flowing between the titular King of Scots and the Parliament convened at Edenborough viz. The Parliament sit close debate high and great things are in consultation among them which for the most part seem as yet abortive onely their King is daily expected if intervenings at Sea retard not their expectation from whom they have received a Message directed to the Lord Chancellour intimating That he is resolved wholly to cast himself upon them and to signe and subscribe to such things as in honour and safety may be granted and assented to that he is very well satisfied in Conscience of the lawfulness of the Presbyterian Government and taking of the solemn League and Covenant being resolved to give a toleration thereof to all those who have or shall adhere thereto and that those obstacles which did most retard his good opinion thereof are now removed from him and that he hath given his Chaplains a free discharge being resolved to embrace such a retinue as shall be acceptable and approved of by them c. and therefore desireth a blessing upon their undertakings in Vnity and Peace This Letter is very well resented by divers great in power both in Kirk and State and great provisions are making for his arrivall but others again are not very well satisfied therewith and desire rather a fair correspondency with the Parliament of England than an inthroning of the said King but many conjecture that those thoughts arise more from fear than love by reason of the alarm of the English Armies advance some give out there is preparation made to meet them which many the rather believe by reason the Scots continue on their great great Levy and as we hear have raised every fourth man from 16 to 60 and that divers regiments have already exercised and mustered Lieutenant General Lesley with 3000 horse foot have taken up their quarters at the Sea-port towns beyond Fryth to attend the landing of their young King that they may conduct him safely to Edenborough The rest of the Army being about 5000 are advanced from Sterling more nearer towards the borders of England to encourage their new levied forces who seem very unwilling to engage against England to march Southward where they List Exercise and Train up their young soldiers daily Yet notwithstanding these warlike preparations great are the discontents which daily arise amongst them and many of the commoners cry out That a Scotch purse will not do the deed and therefore they pray hard that their Covenanting-brethren in London may appear visible for their assistance The Ministers are very zealous for propagating the present work in hand stirring up the people and bidding them not to doubt but that their endeavours and undertakings will be victoriously crowned from heaven and as they have seen the extirpation of malignancy so they shall likewise behold the finall destruction of Heresie but the truth is Jockey is in a Scotch Myst and begins to lament the losse of their former interest in Berwick and Carlisle There was on the sixt instant great stir about passing a Vote in Parliament the question was whether they should make any further addresses to the King Thirty of the Members present cryed No King No King but all the rest being about sixty were for it uttering great acclamations for King and Covenant for King and Covenant and thereupon adjourned till the next day where the first thing they insisted on was another Letter to be sent to their King Wherein they desire his speedy coming to Edenbourgh to sit in Councel with them assuring him that they will endeavour to the utmost of their power to settle him in his Throne and restore him to his rights c. Yet notwithstanding the passing of this Vote they resolved that these ensuing persons hereafter named should be expelled that Kingdom and be made uncapable of bearing any Office for the future and not to come within the Verge of the Court without speciall warrant from the Parliamen by reason of their great actings in the last war A List of the Earls Lords and Knights that are expelled the Kingdom of Scotland or not to come within the Verge of the Court at Edenbourgh without Warrant from the Parliament there convened William Duke of Hamilton George Earl of Seaforth George Earl of Landerdale William Earl of Dumfress John Earl of Traquire James Earl of Kalendar Patrick Earl of Forth John Lord Sinclare John Lord Carnegy Lord Napier James Lord Fitham Sir George Monro Sir John Charles Sir John Lodhart Col. Thomas Daliel Col. John Cockram These persons are forthwith to desert their King and not to be admitted personally with him into Scotland till further Orders from the Parliament and satisfaction given to the Kirk and Councel This Vote of banishment is branded with the title of Tyranny by divers sorts of persons which causeth great murmurings from many and especially upon the executing of Colonel Dalgely and Sibbet who being brought to the place of execution where their heads were to be severed from their bodies when they came upon the Scaffold by their deportment they seemed undanted and Colonel Dalgely made a short speech to the people touching the lawfulnesse of his engagement for the King that he died faithfull lover of his Country and that he endeavoured to gain righteousnesse and preserve loyalty and having ended his Oration he went to the Block saluted the Axe and laying down his head was presently beheaded Colonel Sibbet made also a Speech setting forth the justness of his cause and that he died for loyalty and being a friend to righteousness c. Which being ended he took his leave of some friends and bade the Executioner do his Office which was accordingly performed Colonel Hackers Regiment is march'd into Northumberland and some others into Westmerland and Cumb●rland a vigilant eye is kept fixed towards Scotland by the English Officers who daily implore a blessing from heaven upon their undertakings which will assuredly attend them in all their enterprizes according to that sweet promise of Jeremiah That God will answer those who sincerely call upon him and shew great things to come and own them and the justness of their cause and strengthen both their hands and hearts Which is the unfeigned desire of Carlisle June 10. 1650.
