At the Committee for the Army and after reported to the house of Commons Having some cause to believe the latter end of March last that there was a private treaty betweene the King and the Scots and that the King was upon a resolution to go into Scotland or to the Scotch Army and that this treaty was m●●iged by the intervention of Montrevill the French Agent and designed in France I conceived this Councel and intention of the Kings not onely infinitely prejudiciall to himselfe and this Kingdome but dishonourable to the English Nation in discerting them and thereby rendring their sinclity more suspected then the Scots and thought it my duty both as an English man and as his Majesties servant to discover my knowledge thereof in season to such as I thought might possibly prevent the mischiefes which I feare would attend the designe I therefore acquainted some of the Committee of both Kingdomes with what followes according to the times hereafter mentioned The 4. of Aprill That one of the Scots Commissioners told me that he believed and would lay a waiger that the King would be in London or in the Scoch Army very speedily perhaps before Wednesday night next if he could passe and that if he came to the Scots they would receive him and entertaine him civilly and stand to him in his rights Another Scottish Gentleman being a brother in law of the said Commissioner told me the same evening that the said Commissioner had in great secresy assuer'd him that the King would be very sodainly with the Scots and that a messenger was sent to the King the night before from a party here to advise him what to do and that Newarke would be very speedily surrendred 10. of Aprill the said Commissioner told me that the King would endeavour to get to their Army before Newarke and if he came safe thither would send to the Parliament to offer to passe the Propositions of Vxbridge and there upon if the Parliament refused a peace he doubted not but 2. parts of 3. in England would be for the King and he was sure that the whole Kingdome of Scotland would be as one man for him for then there would be no Montrosses 29. of Aprill Being the fast day the said Commissioner and his brother in law called at my lodging and the Commissioner with great joy told me the newes of the Kings getting safe out of Oxford and that some of the Scottish horse before Newarke would advance to meete him to bring him to the Parliament here which he said smiling I then asked whither Lesly would receive him and his brother answered that my Lord Lauderdall had gone downe to take order for that The 4. of May the said Commissioners brother told me that they did not yet heare where the King was but perhaps he would go to Scotand first and not to the Army that he might first disband Montrosse and settle that Kingdome that the Scots would keepe all faire correspondency with the Parliament untill they had satisfied the people with their papers and declarations that they expected 5000. more out of Scotland and that if they came to a breach with the parliament they could with the forces they would draw out of Ireland and Scotland make an Army of 6000. and 26000.
