HORTON 1652. A bloudy Fight in Scotland between the Redshanks and the Parliaments forces the particulars thereof and the number killed and taken prisoners SIR THe reducing of the Wild Scots we fear will prove a work of great difficulty for many of them are brake forth into new distempers and Rebellion being headed by the Clans and Mac-Donals and on the 12 of this instant Feb. advanced as far as Innerness where they fell upon the Parliaments forces and put almost all to the sword that they met withall However we have since pretty well paid them home for on the 14 instant a party of Col. Okey's Dragoons met with them neer Chivy-chase where they hunted them handsomely killed about one hundred and took about two hundred prisoners Yet notwithstanding they declare high for their King but we doubt not but in process of time to bring them low for the Parliament of the Common-wealth of England And upon these principles we may presume to build our foundation viz. For whereas the Commoners of England in this Age of the world are risen up in an Army and have cast out that Invasion of the duke of Normandy and have won their Land and Liberties again by the Sword if they do not suffer their Councels to befool them into slavery again upon a new accompt For if so be that Kingly Authority be set up in your Laws again King CHARLES hath conquered you and your Posterity by policy and won the field of you though you have seemingly cout off his head for the strength of a King lies not in the visible appearance of his body but in his Will Laws and Authority But if you remove Kingly Government and set up true and free Common-wealths Government then you gain your Crown and keep it and leave peace to your Posterity Dundee 16 Feb. 1652 POSTSGRIPT SIR SInce the close of this Letter we have received an Abstract or Narrative of the Transaction of Affairs in France a breviate whereof take as followeth Since my last of the 14 inst●nt The Prince of Conde hath obtained a gr●at Victory against the Kings Forces having routed a great part of the Cardinals Army and killed and taken above 3000 men But by r●a●on of a great Con●piracy in the City of Angiers for delivering up of the Town to the King his Highness was in forced to desist from from his further pursuit to endeavor the composing of all differences and extinguishing the flames which were so unhappily broken forth amongst them For effecting whereof the Duke of Rhone seized on the persons of the Earl of Monta●g the Lord Marshal and divers others and immediatly brought them to a Tryall before a Councel of War where a Charge of High-Treason was r●●d against them For their perfidiousness in betraying their Trust and r●●olting from the Parliament to the King c. After the erading of the said Charge by the Judge Advocate the prisoners at the Bar were required to answer unto the Articles exhibited against them But they denied to acknowledge the Authority of the Court saying That here was no lawful Judicature in any Kingdom that took Rebellion to be their Ba●mer Whereupton the Court resolved to proceed to Sentence and accordingly the Judge Advocate denounced the same which was That the Earl of Mont●●g should have his head severed from his shoulders and the Lord Marsh●l to be sh●t to death The King of Scots hath sent a Letter to Sr Jacob Middleton and divers other Gentlemen in Waler imploring them to use the utmost of their endeavors for his restauration and to fight for a just King an oppressed Countrey and for a Religion truly Christian against all those who endeavour to alienate the Crown from him and the royall Posterity These fair adjutations and perswasions wrought upon the hearts of man discontented spirits who began to talk high saying That before Easter her doubted not but to see her good King in her own Countrey again with 40000 fighting men Whereupon the Well-affected rose apprehended divers and hath quelled the humours of the rest A Declaration for Freedom Whereas if an Army be raised to cast out Kingly oppression and if the Heads of that Army promise a Common-wealths Freedons to the oppressed people if in case they will assist with person and purse and if the people do assist and prevail over the Tyrant those Officers are bound by the Law of Justice who is God to make good their Engagements And if they do not set the Land free from the branches of the Kingly oppression but reserve some part of the Kingly power to advance their own particular Interest whereby some of their friends are left under as great slavery to them as they were under the Kings Those Officers are not faithful Commonwealths souldiers they are worse Tyrant and Thieves then the King they cast out and that honor they seemed to get by their victories over the Common wealths Oppressor they lost again by breaking promsie and engagement to their opressed friends who did assist them For what difference is there between a professed Tyrant that declares himself a Tyrant in words laws and deeds as all Conquerors do and him who promises tofree me from the power of the Tyrant if I 'le assist him and when I have spent my estate and bloud and expect my bargain by his Engagements to me he sits himself down in the Tyrants chair and takes the possession of the Land to himself and ealls it his and none of mine and tells me he cannot in conscience let me enjoy the freedom of the Farth with him because it is another mans right Such a souldier as this Engagement-breaker is neither a friend to the Creation nor to a particular Commonwealth but a self-lover and a hypocrite for he did not fight to set the Earth free from the bondage of the Oppressor as he pretended by his Engagements but to remove that power out of the others hand into his own And this is just like the Beasts who fight for mastery and keeps it not relieveing but still Lording and Kinging over the weak These are Monarchical souldiers not Commen-wealths souldiers and such a souldier is a murderer and his warfare is unlawfull But souldiers of true noble spirits will help the weak and set the Oppressed free and delight to see the Common-wealth flourish in freedom as well as their own gardens There is none of this true Nobility in a Monarchical Army for they are all self-lovers the best is as a bryar and the most upright amongst them is as a Thorn speak you Prophets of old if this be not true A Monarchial Army lifts up Mountains and makes vallies viz. Advances Tyrants and treads the Oppressed in the barren lanes of poverty But a Common-wealths Army is like John Baptist who levels tha Mountains to the Valleys pulls down the Tyrant and lifts ●p the Oppressed and so makes way for the spirit of Peace and Freedom to come in to rule and inherit the Earth And by this which hath been spoken an Army may see wherein they may do well and wherein they may do hurt Therefore you Army of Englands Common wealth look to it the Enemy could not beat you in the field but they may be too hard for you by policy in councel if you do not stick close to see Common Freedom established From Holland they write That Mr Lilburns declares high concerning the parl but we may give losers leave to talk The Hollander seems to fly high against England and the English are warned not to come upon the Exchange left they should be taken for Spies O horrible ingratitude What have you forgotten the dayes of old They give out that they will set forth 150 Men of War in six weeks and 100 more with Letters of Mart telling the people that the parl demands 800000 li. for Amboyna business besides the tenth Herring Flushing Rammekins free Trade to Antwerp and through the Zound It seems they love their money better then ancient courtesies By an Express from the Parliaments Fleet lying before the Barbadoes it is certified that Sir George Ayscue finding the Lord Willoughby to be very resolute and obstinate called a Councel of Officers whose result was forthwith to storm Carlisle Block-house for effecting whereof about 60 Long-boats were compleatly man'd with Sea-men who endeavor'd to storm the fort and to enter the Bay but so great was the Repulse which they received that they was inforced to make good their Retreat with the loss of 15 men and to betake themselves for sanctuary to their ships again However the loss is supposed to be equal on both sides And the Lord VVilloughby is exceeding vigilant to make the best of a bad cause for he rides the Rounds in person every Night from Fort to Fort promising his souldiers the free prize of the Parliaments Navie but with this provisoe I befeech you when they con catch it FINIS
