shall at this time forbear The fourth Calumny is The Death of the Marquess of Montrose There are many in this House my Lord who know very well I refused to meddle either in the matter or manner of it and so far were we from having any particular quarrells at one another that in Anno 1645. he and I was fully agreed upon Articles and Conditions contained in a Treaty past betwixt us and it was neither his fault nor mine that business did not end at that time which its known to all proved very Obnoxious to the Kingdom thereafter The fifth Calumny is concerning my dealing with the English after Worceter fight it s well known my Lord to many that my self and the Gentlemen of Argyle-shire my Kinsmen Vassalls and Tennants Endeavoured Cordially to engage all their Neighbours about them on all hands against the English which they did not prevail in but was most unhappily made known to the English Commanders for the time which they caused immediately to publish as a very notable discory in their Newes Books which occasioned two sad Disadvantages to us for they not only crushed our attempts in the infantry but also determined the severer Resolutions against us whereby two strong Regiments of Foot Overtons and Reads and very neer the number of one of Horse under the Command of one Blackmore were sent to Argyle-shire and when Dean came there it pleased God to visit me with a great distemper of sicknesse as Dr. Cunningham and many others who were with me can witness What my Lord I was pressed unto when I was violently in their hands may be instructed by the paper it self written by Deanes mans own hand yet extant to show which I did absolutely refuse upon all the hazard of the uttermost of their malice as also what I was necessitated to do is likewise ready to be shown whereby I was still detained their Prisoner upon demand I shall my Lord add one Reason more to clear this besides many other weighty publick Reasons and Considerations which I shall forbear to mention at this time it being more naturall to bring them by way of defences afterwards my own interest and of all Noblemen and Superiours in Scotland it may be rationally presumed that I had been a very senseless fool if ever I had been for promoting such and such Authoritie or interest over me as levelled all and was so totally destructive to all that differenced my self and other Noble-men from their own Vassals which many sayes they were too earnest in yea it being likewise so absurdly derogatory to all true Nobilitie and my Ancestors and I as is said in that Lybell have had so many titles of Honour Dignitie and Eminent Places of Trust conferred upon us by his Majesties Royal Predecessors and Himself all for our constant Loyalty and adherence to the Crown at all Occasions as the Records and Histories of this ancient Kingdom holds forth besides the narrative of all our grants and asserting the just Priviledges thereof against Opposers I did my Lord ever even when the Englishs were at the intollerable height of Usurpation declare my abhorrence to a Common-wealth Government which was well known to them all I was not indeed my Lord very dissatified when there were Rumors current of Cromwells being made a King as some here can witness for I told them it was the most probable way for his Majesties advantage therefore the less it were opposed and the more it were encouraged it would tend to Cromwells and their deformed Common-wealths Governments ruine and promote his Majesties just interest the more My Lord I shall not much blame my Lord Advocate for doing his Endeavour it being in Essentiall part of his function to accuse but I must say that its very hard measure that so able a man hath neer as many moneths in taking paines to promp as many Enemies as his perswasions could possibly invite to bend upon the highest notes of their malice and laying out search by them for and collecting all the Bad Reports or rather to give them their genuine term I may call them a confused mass of the Common Classis of the Countrie thereby to devise misconstructions of all the publick actings of both Parliaments or Committees during the late Troubles and with strange and remote Inferences and to adduce all those to the channell of my particular Actings as many I say my Lord moneths as I have dayes to Answer them being an exceeding disadvantage But my Lord that 's not all I am likewise extreamly gauled that he labours in that Libell all along to draw an obscure vail of perpetuall Oblivion over all my Good Services and specially my Faithfull and Royall Endeavours in Restoring his Sacred Majesty to the Crown of his this most Ancient Kingdom of Scotland and the excercise of his Majesties Royall Authority therein with my cordiall Endeavours for his Majesties Restitution to the rest of his Dominions also which his Majesty both knows and has been pleased often to acknowledge it to have been Good Service and yea many present in this Honourable House knows that I extended both my Zeal and Affection to the uttermost of my power for his Majesties Service in that particular which I willingly acknowledge nothing my Lord but my Duty whereunto I was Tied both by Natural Civil and Christian Bonds to my Soveraign and especially such a Deserving KING of whom I may now as I have often Affirme That he is a King in whom the Lord has taken such pleasure as to possesse his Majesty with so many Superlative Degrees of Excellency that any of his Princely perfections may be a Characteristick Distinction sufficient to Exalt his Majesties Fame both in our Age and to the subsequent Posterity above all the Monarchs in the World So My Lord we may consequently discover a high Demonstration of the Lords singular Kindness and speciall providentiall Care for us his Majesties Subjects in preserving such a Rich Blessing as his SACRED MAJESTY in whom the happiness of these Nations is wrapped up under the safe wings of his Divine Protection I may say even when the extravagant malice of men would have swallowed him up After his Lordship had ended this discourse being heard very attentively by all without any interruption my Lords Advocate sayes to my Lord Chancellor thus My Lord Chancellour but what can the Marquess of Argyle say to the opposition at Striveling in Anno 1648 The Marquess replyed that he found my Lord Advocate endeavoured to bring him to debate the particulars which he hoped should be cleared at a more convenient time and waved it answering nothing to the thing it self but insisted thus My Lord Chancellour I have Informativè only hinted at the main things which I am often charged with my memory cannot fully reach all neither will time permit to Circumstantiate these particulars which I have onely touched in the generall nor is my purpose at present to fall on the debate of that Libell not
