knowledge of Prophecy by their Necromantical Science because every thing came to pass as they had spoken For soon after their Arrival at Court the Thane of Cawder being condemned of Treason against the King his Title Lands Livings and Offices were given of the King's Liberality unto Mackbeth The same Night at Supper Banquho jested with him and said Now Mackbeth thou hast obtained those things which the two former Sisters promised there remaineth only for thee to purchase that which the third said should come to pass Encouraged thus by Banquho's Words but more by assurance of his helping hand he resolved not to be wanting to himself to fulfill the Prophecy of the third Weird his Wife also encouraging him much to the Attempt being very ambitious and burning with unquenchable desire to bear the name of a Queen Hereupon to put his disloyal Thoughts into Execution he murthers the King and by reason of his Command among the Souldiers and common People he succeeded in his Throne and was crowned at Scone the usual place for the Coronation of their Kings and being thus invested in the Regal Chair he for a while used great Justice and Liberality amongst his Subjects whereby he gained the Affections both of the Nobles and Common People But as commonly those who make a Ladder of Mischief to climb up to Promotion are ever jealous of those who may prejudice their unjust Titles so he calling to Mind the Prediction given to his Companion Banquho whom hereupon suspecting as his Supplanter he caused to be killed together with his whole Kindred Fleance his Son only with much difficulty escaping into Wales Glad he was now that he was freed from this Fear but yet for his further Security he built a strong Castle on the top of an high Hill called Dunsinane ten miles from Perth on such a proud height that standing there aloft a man might behold well near all the Countries of Angus Fife Stermond and Ernedale as it were lying underneath him making this his ordinary Seat yet could not his guilty Conscience be still secure but upon new Fears consulting with certain Wizards about his future Estate was told by one that he should never be overcome till Bername Wood which was some few miles distant did come to Dunsinane Castle and by another that he should never be slain by any Man born of a Woman Secure then as he thought he omitted no kind of Libidiousness or Cruelty putting to Death many of his Nobles upon slight pretences thereby to get their Estates into his hands Mackduffe Thane of Fise seeing no end of his Cruelty posted into England to Malcomne Cammore a Prince of the Royal Blood persuading him to take upon him the Crown of Scotland and to free his Country from so detestable a Tyrant and so far he prevailed that Malcomne with Syword Earl of Northumberland and ten thousand well appointed Souldiers marched into Scotland to whom joyned some few Patriots which had not yet felt the Tyrants Sword These marching with as much Privacy as so great an Army could be capable of came one Night to Bermane Wood and early in the Morning marched every Man bearing a Bough in his hand the better to keep them from Discovery toward Dunsinane Castle which they presently took by Scalado Mackbeth escaping was pursued over-taken and urged to fight by Mackduffe to whom the Tyrant half in Scorn replyed that in vain he attempted his death for it was his Destiny never to be slain by any man born of a Woman now then is thy fatal Hour come said Mackduffe for I was never born of a Woman but violently cut out of my Mothers Belly she dying before her Delivery which Words so daunted the Tyrant though otherwise a man of good Performance that he was easily slain and Malcolmne Cammore the true Heir of the Crown seated in the Throne In the mean time whilst these things were acting Fleance the Son of Banquho so thrived in Wales that he grew into great favour and estimation with the Prince of that Countrey and into such familiarity with his Daughter that she of courtesie in the end suffered him to get her with Child which being once understood her Father the Prince conceived such hateful displeasure towards Fleance that he finally slew him and held his Daughter in most vile state of servitude for that she had consented to be on this wise deflowred by a Stranger At the last yet she was delivered of a Son named Walter who within few years proved a Man of greater Courage and Valiancy than any other had commonly been found although he had no better bringing up than by his Grand-fathers Appointment amongst the baser sort of People Howbeit he shewed ever even from his Infancy that there reigned in him a certain stoutness of Stomach ready to attempt high Enterprizes It chanced that falling out with one of his Companions after many taunting Words which passed betwixt them the other to his Reproach objected that he was Illegitimate wherewith being sore kindled in his raging Fury he ran upon him and slew him out of hand then was he glad to flee out of Wales and coming into Scotland to seek some Friendship there he happened into the Company of such English men as were come thither with Queen Margaret the Sister of Edgar Atheling who was married to Malcolme and now he behaved himself so soberly in all his Demeanour that within a while he was highly esteemed amongst them Not long after by such means attaining to the degree of high Reputation he was sent with a great Power of Men into the Western Isles into Galloway and other parts of the Realm to deliver the same of the Tyranny and injurious Oppression there exercised by divers misgoverned Persons which Enterprize according to his Commission he atcheived with such prudent Policy and Man-hood that immediately upon his Return to the Court he was made Lord Steward of Scotland from which Office the name of Steward became as the Sir-name of all his Posterity From this Walter descended that Robert Steward who was after in Right of his Wife King of Scotland since which time there was successively nine Sovereigns of that Name in Scotland and three in England King James King Charles the First and King Charles the Second And may the Providence above so nourish That Name in England may for ever flourish Of a Costermonger 's Daughter of London how after many strange Adventures she came at last to be chief Sultaness to the Grand Seignior of
