the ill victualling thereof lost with little noise and lesse resistance puffed up with these successes the Covenanters march on to Dalkeyth a House of his Majesties which they took into their possession without any opposition wherein as they expected they found a plentifull store of Ammunition and beyond their expectation the Crown Scepter and other Regalia of that ancient Kingdome which they quickly removed to Edenborough Castle and there with great reverence and much care disposed them to safe custody pretending they were displaced before at Dalkeyth The newes of these occurrences arriving fresh to the Kings eare where affection before would not make him harbour an ill thought of his Countrey men now made him change his opinion and in the midst of all the pleasure and joy conceived for his young Son Duke Henry to leave both him and his Mother the Queen to provide a remedy to prevent these threatning evills By this means was the infant Prince deprived of the right and knowledge of his Father both at once KING towards Scotland his rebellious Covenanting Subjects of Scotland calling him to their more northern parts where he resolved if possible by fair means to perswade them or else by repelling force with force to reduce them to their obedience While the King is raising force to march towards them the Scots go to and against Aberdeen restlesse natures are never out of action and discontented persons ever desirous of innovation if the designe be good they undertake they still pursue it with all diligence if ill they prosecute it with no lesse industry witnesse these men who in their said march took 4000 armes that were going thither to have put the City into a posture of defence so that now the Kings armes were carried against the Kings cause there being no party through the prevalency of the averse faction that durst appear for the King nay to such a height were these men grown that they had an intention to have surprized Barwick but their intended attempt was not so closely carried and resolved on amongst themselves but that timely notice therof was attained by the English and for prevention of the same command was forthwith given for some raisements of Foot and Troop● of Horse of the Bishop-prick of Durham and the northern parts to move with speedy marches thither and there so to dispose of their power as to be able to resist any offer from the Enemy which was effectually performed SCOTS manner of proceedings The Scots perceiving they were prevented in that designe fall to Councell and knowing that there are two wayes which infallibly make rich men potent and poor men rich the first being great getting and the latter the keeping things gotten and that if there be a failing in either of these two there will be a sudden sense of the stand put to greatnesse and of the estates declining fortune do cowardly make it their study to retain the Towns and Forts they had gotten into their possession and therefore with art and expedition Leith must be fortified so that it may oppose any power that should present it selfe against in and the like they also did in other place Notwithstanding all which prodigious acts of Treason like the Adulterous Woman spoken of by the Wise Man they will not believe they have done amisse for as if they have been the truest Subjects in the world on the fifth of June the Earl of Dumfermeling presented to his Majesty a Petition at his Pavilion in the Camp which he graciously accepted and read wherein the Scots humbly sued for an accomodation and his Majesty was thereupon pleased to enter into a Treaty with them the issue whereof was that the Scots should disband their Forces and surrender to the King all his castles but the main matters to be concluded by Parliament which was to meet not long after at London whither the Scots sent their Commissioners and made a full and finall agreement By this meanes the King attended with all his Nobility made up to London where in November 1640. a black long Parliament whose actions never had a parallel met during the time of whose first sitting all things began to grow out of order yet they hearkned in some measure to the Kings desires for the marriage of the Lady Mary to the Prince of Orange Lady Mary married was with great state and pomp celebrated at Whitehall in May 1641. to the great satisfaction both of Prince and people as it then seemed Laetior hac nulla est unguam lux orta Britannis Vnus Hymen populo est unumque agit Anglia festum Tot que dies nitet una dies se latior ipsa Dum redit et primi non cessant gaudia festi No day more joyfull ere did Brittain see Both King and people in their mirth agree Nor for a spurt does their grand feasting last But each new coming day outvies the Fast During all these solemnities at the Court the English Parliament are driving a contrary designe inciting tumults to cry down the Bishops which was prosecuted with such violence that the King was necessitated for security of his Person to withdraw from London Janua 10. 1641. and with the Queen Prince and Duke of York to retire to Hampton Court from whence in February following accompanyed with the Queen and the Princesse of Orange he went to Canterbury and so to Dover where the Lady Mary Princesse of Orange took leave of her Father and Mother and imbarqued for Holland Lady Mary to Holland the Prince
