man that stood in the gap threatning out of their Pulpits all such as would think or speak evil of him but when the State-juglers with their Clergy-Impostors could neither shake the Loyalty of the one who were really for the Covenant and Monarchical Government nor plaster over the many fraudulent cheats of the Argathelian party now become a most odious and heavy burthen to the Kingdom harased and ruined from the one end to the other by him and his Armies on the one part and Montrosse and his Confederates on the other part Argyle of the two being the Kingdoms most cruel Enemy was simulat humiliation having the Church-men stil his friends did reconcile himself to the other noble and loyal Patriots by suffering them to take some share of the Government that the by him dis-joynted State might by them be set in a right frame again with a resolution when all things were right to usurp his wonted Authority and follow his old trade of Dethroning his Majesty and cantonizing the Kingdome but things falling out so that one day at Nazeby quelling the KINGS party in England and one day at Phillipshaugh almost quieting Scotland finding the Presbyterians in England inclinable to peace and desirous of his Majesties re-establishment according to the Covenant he leaves them and joyns Counsell with Say Perpoint Cromwell and others of the Independent Junto doing them that-Master piece of good service First under colour of Loyalty and friendship to prevail with His Majesty to return to the Scots Army then at Newark Cromwel contributing a Passe to Hudson and Ashburnham with a slack Guard that His Majesty might the more freely escape Secondly after many learned and loyal Speeches for Monarchy the Kingdome of Scotlands interest in the person of the KING and many Vows and Protestations both in private and publick not to abandon His Majesty without his own consent contrary to all which he and his Party did overthrow the Loyalty of that once famous Gentleman Lieuten General David Leslie who had deeply sworn and ingaged himself to His Majesty to convoy him safely into Scotland or then to see His Majesty peaceably setled in his throne in England forcing him and he perswading and prevailing with the Souldiers to march away leaving his Majesty behind little better than but now an assured Prisoner and the whole power of the Sword in the hands of the Independents and Sectaries to the ruine and overthrow of their Presbyterian friends in the City and Parliament as the History of Independency doth Witness encouraging the Independent Party by their Letters to proceed in their dethroning Votes and accusation of his Majesty assuring them that no party from Scotland shall be able to hinder them in their proceedings but finding the body of the Parliament and the Kingdom of Scotland to be sensible of the ruine of Religion and Monarchical Government if the Sectaries prevail and their resolution to adhere to their Covenant and re-establishing his Majesty being in fear their party shall not be able any longer to delude the Kingdom or hinder the Army designed to come in for the vindication of the many breaches of the Solemn League and Covenant and the several Treaties betwixt the Kingdoms they have solicited the Armies of Sectaries to come to their assistance some of their Ministers professing in their Letters They have no hope of safety unless it be by means of this rebellious Army now in England thereby endeavouring to make Scotland the seat of War And if these troubles in Wales and cutting Petitions from Essex Kent Surry and Sussex had not hindered them their resolution was to have sent Cromwel thither it being debated before he went to Wales which of the two he should take in hand but the constant assurance they had from Argile and those accursed Clergy-men that were bribed by Stephen Marshal That there was no fear of danger from Scotland in hast made them hasten to finish the enslaving of England and Wales and then they resolve to conquer Scotland which they conceive may be quickly done having Argile and his Faction so firm to them that although he would neither he nor his Partners dare revolt from them having received so much of their money lest they should reveal more then he desires should be known and as the Independents sent their Emissaries through all Counties and Corporations to get hands to Petitions for thanks to the House for their dethroning Votes so Argile and Marshal's Hirelings have been very active to get hands to Petitions in many Shires Corporations and Provincial Assemblies for hindering the engagement against the rebellious Army of Sectaries and the Independent Junto their Confederates whereas there is no intention against the Parliament or Body of England but to comply with all religious honest-hearted and loyal Subjects who desire that His Majesty may be enlarged and brought to a Personal Treatie whereby Peace and truth may be setled in the three Kingdoms their chief pretences being that Religion is not secured the Religion now established in Scotland was by Act of Parliament His Majesty present so well secured as the most religious Church-men and most skilfull Lawyers could devise if you have got New lights and desire any other Religion to be established vindicate His Majesties Honour and put up your Petitions to Him in an orderly way and He may possibly vindicate you from the Yoke of Slavery which some of your tyrannizing Clergy desire to put upon you The next is a wonderful increase of your fears by the great Trusts put upon such persons of whom you have just cause of jealousie to this Kingdom and the Cause of God though you do not speak plain your Pamphletters do and your Pulpit-Incendiaries to some purpose you mean Duke Hamilton now Generall of the Forces designed by the Kingdom and Parliament of Scotland for vindicating the Honour of the Nation and revenging His Majesties Captivity-upon that perfidious rebellious Army of Sectaries and their adherents what he did before the subscribing of the Covenant ought not to be objected his moderation even then deserving the honour and love of his Country and since his subscribing malice it self cannot tax him that he hath done any thing contrary to his Covenant or his Country what Montrosse doth asperse him with that he hindred his intended invasion of Scotland and so consequently His Majesties Service none of those who stand for the Covenant who did think Montrosse an enemy to the Covenant and to his Country ought to object this to my Lord Duke whose tender care of the safety and welfare of his Country may evidently appear even in the relation of one of his most deadly enemies and whereas his good advice for moderation was misconstrued by Argile and his prevailing Faction on the one side as if he had done things contrary to the Covenant and by Montrosse and his Confederates at Court on the other side as if he had connived or been accessary to those violent courses against
