me home to my owne Country On the M●nday morning I found out one of the Kings store-houses and therein about threescore thousand pound of Cheese and about two tunne of Bisket which served the whole Army untill Corne was grinded and other provisions made But here was not an end of my troubles for the time I stayed in Newcastle which was about three moneths and more though under the shelter of the Scots Army my wife and selfe continually reviled and abused by the malignant people of the Town of whom I could not get provisions and necessaries for my family for my money without the Authority and command of the Scots or seldome goe abroad without the company of some of the Scots Gentlemen divers of whom gave me notice that they over-heard divers Malignant people of the Towne threaten to wash their hands in my heart blood and others saying whether peace or warre I should be sure to be knockt on the head such was the madnesse of the Malignants against me in that place neither would any there or in the Country pay me any thing they were owing me So about beginning of December when I could be no longer usefull to the publike good or yet to my selfe in my owne affaires I declared to his Excellence Generall Lesley and such of the Lords as were then in Newcastle my urgent necessity to repaire to London to the Parliament for remedy of my many grievances and there being no passage by land for me but through the Kings souldiers I came to London by Sea about the latter end of December and repaired to Westminster where I had walked but a little in the Hall untill I was carried away by some friends assuring me that there was no safety for mee to appeare so publike as yet and that my adversaries who walked in Westminster Hall as Sir Iohn Marloe and others of Newcastle fugitives from the Scots would be sure to lay hold of me and that as yet I was not cleere of the Scots businesse for all the treaty then in agitation some of my friends advising me to remove into Holland untill the Scots Treaty were fully finished and an act of oblivion passed till when I could not be secure from the danger of our Lawes so that I continued privately in London about eight moneths in some hazard before the act of oblivion was passed being resolved not to goe out of the Kingdome untill I had remedy of my heavy losses and grievances which as yet I have found no time for though I have sought to purchase it with my blood in the service of the state and still am ready to wade through difficulties and hazards to procure peace and truth Judgement and Justice to my native Country Divers other passages in my troubles I doe willingly reserve to a calmer Season because as yet the times will not beare them By these already mentioned it may appeare that I have suffred somthing for God and my Country and have borne a large share in the heat of the day even to many extremities to my selfe and family without any publike support in a sincking condition to the hazard of life losse of my estate of which I have not had the benefit of one hundred pound these five yeeres compleat in December next friends in this cause all forsaking me my name and credit racked with reproaches whereof my God whom I serve and suffer for I am confident will in his good itme cleare me and make mine innocency breake out as the light and my Judgement as the noone day I appeale to this ungratefull and appostate age whether it be reason that one who has borne the heate of the day for the common good of both Kingdomes should be left to sincke under the burthens of their good it being not for the honour of my Countrey to leave mee and mine under insupportable burthens of worldy necessities and distresses wherein I have spent my selfe and without timely assistance I and mine must necessarily perish Divers other passages have slipped my memory about the rage and madnesse of mine enemies extending from the countrey to Court distaste of me and the Kings notice and rebukes of friends about me so ●s none of them durst owne me or afford me common courtesie or 〈…〉 me but in the language of mine adversaries also the first messenger the Scots Lords sent to the King at Yorke after Newburne fight at his returne told me there was great enquirie at Court after me and further in midst of all my greatest troubles and pursuite of the Lord Traquire as I should be willing to forget the unkinde and unchristian dealings of my friends in spreading the reproaches of my adversaries striking at my very life deepewounds from friends so may I not here forget to record the Noble respects of the Scottish Lords in their ample testimonie of my fidelitie to my countrey and carriage amongst them which I sent into England for the satisfaction of my friends mis-informed a Copie whereof attested under the hands of divers Gentlemen and Merchants in Edenborough I have annexed for conclusion VVEe undersubscribers understanding that John Fenwick of Newcastle upon Tyne in the Kingdome of England Merchant since his comming into this Kingdome of Scotland hath undergone many vise and slander us calumnies and reproaches as that hee hath beene a chiefe Incendiarte in these late broyles inci●ing the Nobilitie of this Kingdome to invade England and to use all as enemies that were not of our minde in Religion and that hee sought a Captaines place and did beare armes against the King at Dunse and servea in a troope of Horse when hee could not get à Captaines place and doing many ill offices against his Countrey According to our Christian dutie have beene moved to testifie to all whom it may concerne that the said John Fenwicke during his abide in this Kingdome of Scotland now about eight moneths bath behaved himselfe as becomes a good Christian a loyall Subject to his Soveraigne and a loving Countreyman of his native Nation for ought that ever wee have heard from him seene or observed in him in all his carriage amongst us And wee doe verily believe all the foresaid calumnies to be very false malicious and scandalous and injuriously insinuated against him by ill affected persons and doe conceive of him as one that hath deserved better of his Countrey-men In witnesse whereof wee have subscribed these presents with our Hands At EDENB. the 30. Octob. 1639. Subscribed by Earles Argyle Rothes Lothian Lyndsey And The Lord Balmirinoe Witnesses that this is a true Copie John Meyne Robert Keith Thomas Levingston Alexand. Dickson John Lowrie The Originall of this Copy I sent into England for satisfaction of friends mis-informed Novemb. 1639. FINIS Nota This fire brake out in the evening of that day after their consultations were ended wherin many antient Records were burnt up and consumed Nota Herein I have been many yeers the Subject of the admiration of friends and the object of the enemie● madnes and rage in that they could never make mee stoope Note I had to doe with others aswell as Covenanters * Note They were not Knighted till afterward for their good service against the Scots Nota My returne was about the 8. of Ianuary by comparing the Date of Secretary Windebancks letters you may see how ripe the plot was for execution Note Here that Newcastle was begun to be fortified for the King against the Scots Nota Some men carried away pieces of her cloaths and made as much of them as if they were holy reliques This was a bold affront the Parliament then ●itting Nota. This hundred-fold is not meant of temporall things as many understand it but is meant of a hundredfold more of Gods presence and communication of his fulnesse even in this life and in time of our sufferings especially yea as much as our leaking vessels can hold untill wee come to eternity when our cup shall overflow continually Note At this time of the restraint of libertie I composed these meditations Psal. 102. which I published lately under this Title of Zions Ioy in her King comming in his Glorye
