of that War by introducing the Liturgy amongst them Sc. spe quidem laudabili eventu verò pessimo with a good intent but exceeding ill successe why so Hinc siquidem c. For from hence proceeded Tragedies Tumults War and Invasion Now that War which an Arch-Bishop occasion'd and which was entred into for maintaining that Hierarchy may I hope without offence be called the Bishops War But here I am cut off the Observator telling us that Religion was but the vizard to disguise that businesse which covetousnesse and sacriledge had the greatest had in which he confirmes by this ensuing Narrative The King being engaged into a War with Spain and deserted by those who engaged him in it amongst other wayes of assistance was minded of a purpose his Father had of Revoking all Grants of Abby Lands c. which being vested in the Crown were by his Protectors in his Minority conferred on many of the Nobility and Gentry c. Being resolved upon the same course he intends a Parliament in that Kingdome appoints the Earle of Nidderdale to preside therein and armes him with instructions for passing of an Act of Revocation accordingly who being on his way as far as Barwick was there informed that all was in Tumult at Edinburgh that a rich coach which he had sent before to Dalkeith was cut in pieces the poore horses killed the people seeming onely sorry that they could not doe the like to the Earle himselfe Things being brought to this stand and the Parliament put off with a sine Die the King was put to a necessity of second Councels c. Answer That many had other then Religious designes there is little doubt they hoping to obtain that honour or wealth in a troubled State which they were consident they should never arrive at in a calm Now as concerning this Relation the Observator being a person to whom I am so much obliged I cannot but as part of requital of his own labours adde something for illustration of his Story and rectifying some mistakes thereof Know then Reader that this Earl of Nidderdale of whom the Observator speakes was then no Earle but the Lord Maxwell no more but so and the very Man or I am deceived mention'd in Habernfield Discovery For a rank Papist he was and Anno 1624. went to Rome to receive the Popes extraordinary Benediction which the Councel of Scotland hearing of they set out a Bar or Prescription against him for departing the Kingdome without leave Soon after King James dying he came over into England and by the Dukes favour whose Kinswoman he had married was Anno 1625. joyned in Commission with the Earle of Anandale Murrey for summoning a Parliament not for Revoking of Church and other lands formerly invested in the Crown but for contribution of monies and ships against the Dunkirkers and was designed to preside there with power to place and displace what Officers he pleased In Order and Pomp sutable to so great a Trust the Lord buyes him a Coach most radiant and richly gilded this he sends before him to Dalkeith The Councel of Scotland having early notice of this conspire to adhere and stick close together and to oppose his commission And the surer to frustrate the Lords designe they send to all the chief Towns informing them what was comming desiring they would send in the money with all expedition The Townes conformed instantly and all was done yea the very undoing and destruction of his glorious Coach before the Lord Maxwell came to Barwich and further he durst not go being informed his person so generally hated might be in great danger there but posted a main to the Court of England where finding the King cool in the businesse having had an account from the Councel of Scotland of al their proceedings advertised by them how displeasing a President that Lord was like to prove in respect of his Religion h the Duke gone to the Hague after him he goes and returnes with him into England The Duke and this Lord being come to Court possesse the King with strange insolences and affronts committed by the Councel of Scotland against his Regal power His Majesty in some indignation thereupon sends for them to come forthwith and answer what he had to object against them up they come to court and being by his Majesty chidden for their miscarriages they defying this Lord openly in his Majesties presence spake withal bug words not very loyal 't is confest whereat his Majesty told them then and not before he would make them restore all to the Crown which they had taken from it in his Fathers Minority This and somewhat more my information from a credible hand and of a date agreeable to the story what succeeded hereupon the Observator tells you Page 163. Fol. 161. The King first named eight Bishops then those eight Bishops those eight Noble men those Noble men chose so many Barons and those the like number of Burgesses c. Observator Not altogether so as our Author hath it for the Bishops and Noble men together chose eight Commissioners for the Sheriffdomes and as many for the Corporations Answer My informer being a Person of such eminency of that Nation and so versed in the affairs of that Kingdome is I think more credible in this particular then a forreigner Page 171. Fol. 182. True it is he had too much and too long favoured the Romish Faction but as upon what account he favoured it is uncertain c. Our Author here acquits the Archbishop from the Popish faith but leaves him under a suspition of favouring the Popish faction which in a man who cannot tell upon what account he favoured it may be thought uncharitable But both King James and King Charles in several Declarations give this Reason for it c.
