\ ?*Tis not my Deſign to meddle with the Hiſtories of any 
other Country or People, but of Scotland, and its Poſſeſſors 
and Inhabitants, from the Time that Fergus Son to Ferquhard 
King of Ireland, began our Monarchy, which indeed is as 
much as we can produce any Monument of Antiquity for; 
2 except the fatal Marble Chair, which Fergus brought from

 - King Edward the firft of England, who molt malitiouſly de- 
ſtroy'd and carried away many of the Regal Monuments of 
| Antiquity out of Scotland into England, where the Marble 


Chair is ſtill, bur according to the old Inſcription, which is, a

- That Weird (i. e. Propheſy) has ſadly fail'd us. Some of our Au- 1

As for the many differing Accounts about the Etymologie of 
the Word, or Name Albion, or Albium, Buchannan and others 
have ſaid enough of it, which makes me forbear ſaying any 
thing about it, ſince Ican ſay nothing that's New and all 
that I ſhall offer to trouble the Reader with, is what Ithinxk 
abſolutely Neceſſary to prove that Scotland from the begin-

but it is certain, thoſe Scotiſh Colonies in Albion finding 


. themſelves oppreſs'd by the Britaius and Picts, they ſent over 


to Ferqubard King of Ireland, and he ſent them a conſiderable 
Supply, under the Command of Fergus his Eldeſt Son, who 
having undertaken to ſecure them againſt their Enemies the 
Britains and P:i&-, all the Heads of the Tribes or Clans gave 
up their Government (in which they had equal Power over 


their ſeveral Tribes) to Fergus, acknowledging him for their 


King; and Unanimouſly agreed to ſwear an-Oath of Allegi- 
ance to him, it -being propoſed to the-Heads of the-Clans, by 
the Friends of Fergus (before ſwearing the Oath) whether they 
would be governed by a King -who ſhould have Abſolute 


Power, or by the Nobility ; or by the Multitude 2 It was an- 
ſwered, that leaſt they ſhould have many Kings inſtead of one, 
they abhorr'd to beſtow the Abſolute Power, either upon the 


Nobility, or upon the Multitude; and {wore they ſnould never 
admit of any other Form of Government, than Monarchy, and 
that they ſhould never obey any except him and his Poſterity, 
which if they broke, they wiſhed that all the Plagues and 


Miſeries that had formerly fallen on their Predeceſſors, might 
Again fall on them, and their Poſterity, as the Puniſhment of their 


Perjury. All which Solemn Vows and Promiſes, ſealed by 
Dreadful Oaths Voluntarily given, were graven on Marble 


Tables, and conſigned for Preſervation to the Cuſtody of the 
Prieſts. Theſe are Boetius's own Words, Fol. 10. by which it 


may appear they looked upon Fergus as the Perſon, who- - 
had a Right by his Birth to be their King; but if it be pre- 


_ tended, that this Fergus was not the Eldeſt Son of Ferquhard, 
and was only elected or choſen King by the Conſent of thoſe: 
Heads or Chieftains of the Clans, having no Title nor Right by

We read nothing at all of the Conſent of the People, but 
of the Heads of the Tribes or Clans, who had no Commiſſion 


from the People; each of them having by his Birth-Right a 
Power to Command his own Tribe cr Clan, and Conſequenr- 
ly. the Royal Power was not derived to Fergus from the Peo- 


ple, but had its Original from this Birth-Right that was 


both in them and Fergus, and he ſucceeded in the Right of 
thoſe Chieftains to command the Reſpective Tribes; and that as 
all our Laws aſſert, that our Kings derives their Power from 
God, and not from the People, ſo we ought not to believe 
the Contrary upon the Faith of Hiſtorians; - unleſs they 
were very Clear; and Unanimous in Contradicting our Laws, 


whereas it appears, that our Laws agree with our Hi- 


ſtory; for Gathelus was not at all Elected by the People, but 
was himſelf the Son of a King, and did conquer by his own 


Subjects and Servants, and all 'thoſe who are deſcended from 


his Collonies, were by Law obliged to obey the Eldeſt Son, 
and Repreſentative of that Royal Family, and Ferqubard is 
aeknowledged:to have been his only Succeſſor, nor did ever 
any of our Scotiſn Tribes pretend to the Supremacy, and our 


liſtories bear, that none of our Tribes would yield to ano-

ther, and the fatal Marble Chair, that came from Spain, re- 
maining with thoſe who were in Ireland, doesevince that the 
Birth-Right remained with them; and therefore, when Fergus 
the Son of Ferquhard came over to Scotland, he brought with- 
him the Marble Chair, which was the Mark of Empire, and 
Boetius immediately upon his arrival, calls him King, and 
Fordon the moſt Ancient of our Hiſtorians, Lib. 1. Cap. 36. 
calls him Ferguſius, Filius Ferardi, aut Ferquhardi ex anti- 
auorum Regum proſapia genitus, qui ambitione Regnandi flimulatus 
magnam ſibi Fuvenum copiam aſſimulavit, & Albionem conti- 
nuo progreſſus eſt, & ibidem ſuper eos Regem primum ſe conſti- 
tuit, that is to ſay, he made himſelf (or took Place by his 
Birth-Right) the firſt King of the Scots in Albion, and the Con- 
ſent given by the Chieftains of the Clans, and the People, did 
no more then declare and confirm what was due to him by 
his Birth-Right, as the Subjects conſent in latter Ages, did in 
the Acts concerning the Prerogative, and as the Vote of the 
Inqueſt does in the Service of Heirs. The People of Scotlaud 
had very great Reaſon to commend their Predeceſſors, for 
conſenting to make their King an abſolute Monarch, for a 
Monarch that is ſubject to the Impetuous Caprices of the Mul- 
titude when giddy or to the Incorrigible Factiouſneſs of the 
Nobility when Intereſted, is in Effect no Government at all, 
and though a mixt Monarchy may ſeem a Plauſible Thing 
to Metaphyſiical Spirits and School-men, yet to ſuch Who 
underſtand Government, and the World; it cannot but ap- 
pear Impracticable ; for if the People underſtand that it is in 
their Power to check their Monarch, the Deſire of Command 
is ſo bewitching a Thing, that probably they. would be at it 
upon all Occafions, and ſo when the King commanded one 
Thing, the. Nobility would command another, .and- perhaps: 
the Multitude a third; and as it Implies a Contrad iction, 
that the ſame Perſans ſhould both Command and Obey, where 
find we thoſe Sober and Mortified Men who will Obey, 
when they may Command? or S106 ,

lt may be proved from the Principles of Reaſon, that Kings 
derive their Power from Ged alone, and not from the Poeple; 


ſor the Almighty's Deſign being to manifeſt his Glory in 
creating a Word ſo Vaſt and Regular as this is, and his God- 
neſs in Governing it, and that Men might live Peaceably in 


it, having both Reaſon and Time to ſerve him, it was conſe- 
quential, that he ſhould have reſerved to himfelf the imme- 
diate dependance of the Supream Power, to ſhut out- the 
extravagant and reſtleſs Multitude from thoſe frequent 
Revolutions which they would make, and Deſolations which 


they would Occaſion, if they thought the Supream Power de- 
pended upon them, and that they were not bound to Obey, 


for Conſcience ſake; and what is expreſt in Scripture, con- 
cerning Kings is uſeful to crub the Inſolenee and Reſtleſſneſs 
of the People; and it ſeems, that Kings are in Scripture, ſaid 
to be Gods, to the End it might be clear, that they were 
not made by Men, and that as God Almighty being King 
of Kings, it was Juſt, that as inferior Magiſtrates derived 
their Power from the King, ſo Kings ſhould derive their 
Power from God, who is their King; and this feems to be 


clear from that Analogy, which runs in a Dependance and 


Chain thro' the whole Creat ion. Our Kings thus deriving 
their Power from God alone, in Conſequence are abſolute 
Monarchs, which has ever proved the beſt Government by 
the many Advantages accruing thereby to the Safety and 


Security of the Subjects. If Monarchy be a good Government, 


then it is certain abſolute Monarchy muſt be by far better 
than limitted Monarchy ; if Monarchy be Commended becauſe 
it prevents Diviſions, then a limited Monarchy, which allows 


the People a Share, is not to be commended, becauſe it occa- 


ſions Diviſions; if Monarchy be cemmended, becauſe there is 
more Ex pedit ion, Secrecy, and other excellent Qualities to be 


found in it; then abſolute Monarchy is to be commended 


above a Limited one, becauſe a limited Monarch muſt impart 


his Secrets to the People, and muſt delay the nobleff Deſigns 
until malicious and factious Spirits, be either gained or over- 


come,

As to the Fundamental Conſtitution of aur Government, 
did 


as before mentioned, our Hiſtorians tell that the People 
ſwear Allegiance to Fergat and his Heirs, and that the 
would never obey any other but his Royal Race, which Oath 
does in Law and Reaſon bind them to Obey the lineal Suc- 
ceſſor, according to the Proximity of Blood; for an indefinite 
Obligation to obey the Blood Royal, muſt he interpreted 
according to the Proximity in Blood, except the Sweaters had 
reſerved to themſelves a — to chuſe any of the Royal 

| Family whom they. pleaſed; which is fo. True, that in Law 
an Obligation granted to any Man, does in the Conſtruction 
of Law accrue to his Heirs, tho“ they be not expreſt Qi 
fbi providet & Heredibus prouidet. And Boes ius tells us, that 
after King Fergas's Death the Scott finding their new King- 


dom infeſted with Wars under the powerful Influence of 


_ Pi&., and Britains, they refuſed to prefer the Brother of 
Fergus, (who was of perfect Age, and a Man of great Merit) 
to the Son of King Fergus though an Infant, which certainly 
in Reaſon they would have done, if they had not been ty'd 
by their aforeſaid Oath to the lineal Succeſſor: But leaſt the 
Kingdom ſhould be prejudged during the Minority, they 
enacted, that for the future, the next of the Blood Royal 
ſheuld always in the Minority of our Kings, adminiſter as

Power to advance to the Throne any whom they judged 
moſt fit; for common Senſe may tell us, that was not to chuſe

- licks of their Anger for their former Injuries; and therefore 
Levying as great an Army as they could, both Kings two ſe- 
veral Ways entered the Kingdom of the Britains, and having 
deſtroyed the Country with Fire and Sword, returned home 

with a great Booty. To revenge this Loſs the Britains en- 

tered Scotland, and came as far as the River Down (dividing 
le from Garrick) and having ravaged the Country there- 
about, they pitched their Tents upon the Banks of the ſaid 
River. Fergus having ſent the Wives and Children of the. 
Scots, and other portable Goods, to the meſt unacceilabie - 
Mountains, and ſecured all the Avenues or Roads till the 
coming of the Pid,, with whom he at length joined Forces; 
and conſulting with one another, they feſolved to make a 
Diverſion and lengthen the War, by making an Incurſion 
with a Part of their Forces into the Enemies Country, and 
ſo weary them out. But Coilus (that was the Name of the 
King of the Britains) underſtanding by his Spies the Cauſe 
of their Delay, ſent 5000 Men before to lye in Ambuſh in 
the upper Grounds, and he determined to lead forth the reſt 
of his Army directly againſt the Enemy. When the Scots? 
and Pid knew this, they again Conſulted, and by Way orf 
Prevention they agreed. to aſſault the Camp of the Britain 
by Night, and accordingly drew out their Forces, the Scots in 
the Front, and the P:&s in the Rear, attacked their Enemies 
before Day, and by this Means they made a great Slaughter 
of the Britains. In this Battle fell Coilus with the greateſt 
Part of his Army. The Place where it was fought was called 
by his Name Coil, now Kyle, in the Shire of Aire. After this Vi- 

Qory King Fergus called a Convention of the Chieftains, and 
their Tribes, making a large and plauſable Oration to the Peo- 
ple, they all condeſcended, and agreed to ſwear again, that they 
and their Poſterity ſhould never acknowledge any one (upon- 
any Pretence whatſoever) for their lawful and rightful So- 

vereign, but Fergus and his Lineal Succeſſors, according. to

his being the Lawful Heir of the Crown of the Royal Race, he 
was alſo endued with many extraordinary Gifts ot Nature, be- 
ing beautiful and tall of Stature, and in the flower of his Age 
when he ſucceeded to the Crown, and was the more accepta- 
ble to the People, becauſethat by the Uſurper Nithalocus they 
had ſuffered all the Oppreſſions and Afflict ions that People may 
well expect from an unjuſt Uſurper; and by the Reſtoration 
ol their Natural and Lawful King Findochus, they enjoy'd that 
Happineſs People may expect from a Lawful King who derives 
his Right ſrom Divine as well as Human Laus; neither did he 
decei ve his People, for in his ordinary Deportment he was ve 
ry Courteous in adminiſtring Juſtice equal and impartial, and 
a. Conſcientious Performer of all his Promiſes. In his line 
DONALD AS the Iflander, a Friend ot the late Ulur- 
per Nithalocus, ſail'd over with a numerous Army to Albiow. 
fromthe Iſles, pretending to Revenge the Death of Nit halocus; 
But the King Raiſing an Army, overthrew him in Battle; Do- 
FF maldus flying for Refuge to his Ships, was Drowyn'd in a ſmall 
7 Boat; notwithſtanding this Overthrow, they ſent for Forces 
out of Ireland, and made Donald, Son to the beforenamed Do- 
naldus, their General; Findochus again ſent an Army againſt 
them and Routed them, and Demoliſhed their Forts, unto which 
they were wont to fly, and Donaldus was Forced to Ireland; "2 
But being afterwards pardoned by the King; and having given- - 
all Poſſible Security for his Fidelity, yet did not ceaſe to Contrive - 
by Stratagem, what he could not Effect by Foree; the Means 
he uſed to Deſtroy him was. He Hired two Villians, who pre- 
tended to Complain to the King of the Wrongs they had ſuf- 
fered by him the ſaid Donaldus, and Relating their Lineage 
and Relation to the Royal Blood, they were admitted into the 
King's familiar Acquaintance, and finding Caranticus the 
King's Brother a Shallow vain-glorious Man, ana « Perſon fit” 
for their Bloody Deſigns, they Communicated their Deſigu to 
- him, as a proper Means to put him in Poſeſſion of the Crown,”

Reign 1235. He was a very prudent Prince : By his good Conduct he 
ypernted many Di ſorders which were like to diſturb the Peace and 


Quiet of his Subjects. He aſſiſted Afred King of the HAngliſb againſt the 
Danes, and obtained the Victory; but Alfred admitted the Danes to 
oſſeſs a Part of his Dominions, on Condition they would embrace the 


Chriſtian Religion. In his Reign the Roſs Men, and thoſe of Merns, 
continued for ſome Time Mortal Enemies to one another, commit- 
ting ſeveral Robberies in both the Countries. Donald Marched thi. 


ther, and puniſhed the Heads of the Faction; which gave Peace to the 
ret. He Died the Eleventh Year of his Reign, and was Buried in 


Tcolmkill. His Memory was precious to both Rich and Poor. 
 CONSTANTINUS III. the 75th King of SCOTL AND. 
-ONSTANTINUS UI. the Son of Zthusy ſucceeded in the 


Year of the World 4876, in the Year of CHriſt 906, after the 
Reign 1246; a good pious Prince, but unfortunate in War. He aſſi- 


ſted the Evglifſh againſt the Danes. He pay'd all due Reſpect to Malcolm 


the Son of Donaldus, the Lawful Heir of the Crown, and gave him 
the Command of the Army. He Reſigned the Crown to Malcolm the 
38th Year of his Reign, and hetook himſelf to a Retired Religious 


Life with the Culdes (i. e. certain Monks or Hermits living in Cells) 


in the Monaſtry of St. Andrews, He Died the Second Year after he 
Refigned the Crown, and was Buried in Icolmkill. 


Here the Engliſh Writers (who are profuſe enough in their own 
Praiſes) do affirm, that At helſt aine was Monarch of all the Iſſe of Bri- 
' tain; they falſly alledged, that the King of Scotland took an Oath of 
Fidelity to him, yet cannot produce the Atteſtation of any famous or 


creditable Author, but ſome ignoble Zrygl/;þ Authors who were as rea. 


dy to ſtand by a Lie as they were willing to inventit. Some of them 


quote Marianus Scotus, who was indeed an illuſtrious Writer; but 


there is nothing of what they alledge mentioned in that Edition of 
Marianus, which was Printed in Germany. Thoſe who have introduced 
that Story, do not underſtand their own Authors; they do not take 
Notice that Bede, William of Malmsbury, and Geofery of Monmouth, do 
commonly call that only within Adrian's Wall Britain, the Britains 


Dominions having never extended further than the Wall of Severus, 
being the fartheſt Conqueſt ever the Romans, Britains, or Engliſh, could 


make in Albion.

of the Diſcovery was, a fooliſh, Girl, whoſe Mother and Aunt were 
ſuſpetted Witches, told ſomething concerning the King's Sickneſs, 
and that he would ſoon Die, (among the Servants of Donald Gover- 
nor of the Caſtle of Forreſs) which being told, Soldiers were ſent: to 


the Houſe, where they found the Witches Roaſting the King's Pi- 


ure made of Wax at a ſoft Fire: Their Deſign was, that as the Wax 


did leaſurely melt, ſo. the King migt diflolve into a Sweat, and pine 
away by Degrees; and when the Wax was conſumed, he might Die. 
The Soldiers having broken the Picture, the King immediately reco- 
vered his Health and Strength. This I deliver as I find it:Recorded 
by other Writers, but will not offer to affirm it for Truth. The King 
afterwards purſuing and executing violent.Robbers, as far as the Shires 


of Caithneſs, returned to Murray, and having ordered ſome Robbers 


to be Executed at Forreſs, among whom were ſome Friends of the 


above-named Donald the Governor: The King having refuſed to par- 
don them at the Requeſt of Donald; the ſaid Donald to Revenge him- 
ſelf, Murdered the King in the Caſtle, whereof he was Governor, and 


had the Body conveyed to a River and Buried in the midſt thereof; 
and it is alledged the River ſtept it's ordinary Courſe where the King 
was Buried, which diſcovered the Grave; and when the Body was 
taken up, and, as is uſual, every one ſuſpected was obliged to lay 


their Hands upon the Corps, and when it was touched by Donald, the 
Wounds bled afreſh, whereupon Donald with his Wife (who had ad- 
viſed him to Commit the Murder) and the Ruffians employ'd by him, 
were ſeverely Tormented to Death, by the Command of Culenus Ge- 


neral of the King's Army. Thus this good King was moſt inhuman- 


ly Murdered in the Flower of his Age, after he had Reigned near 
| yy Years. His Corps was carried to Jcolmkil, and Buried with his 
Anceſtors. N

K H III. the Brother of Duffus, ſucceeded in the Lear of 
IN. the World 4940, in the Year of Chriſt g7o, after the Reign 1300 
Years. He was very careful to reform the Manners of the 1 
Sort of People who were Corrupted by the evil Courſes of Culenus. He 
puniſhed all Offenders with the utmoſt Juſtice and Severity, aceord- 
ing to their Demerits. He hanged in Chains near 500 notable Rob- 
bers and Thieves to terrify others from ſuch evil Practices. The Danes 
with a great Fleet of Ships arrived at the Mouth of the River Esle, 
and deſtroyed the Town of Mountroſs, and ſlaughtered all the Inha- ; 
bitants without Diſtinction of Age or Sex. They made Deſolation o- 
ver all Angus, even to the River Tay. The King being advertis'd there- 
of at Seirling, Marched ſpeedily againſt them, but had not Time to get 
a ſufficient Number together. He gave Battle to the Danes, and fought 
valiantly,. many being ſlain on both Sides. The Danes gave out through 
their whole Camp, that no Man muſt ever hope to Return again to 
their Camp, unleſs as Conqueror; which made them fall on the Scots 
fo furiouſly, that both their Wings gave Way. That Day had cer- 
tainly proved Ruinous to Scotland, unleſs Aid had been offered by one 
Man, ſent as it were from Heaven in ſo dangerous a Poſture of Affairs. 
There was a Country- Man named Hay, with his Two Sons, plowing 
in the Fields, over which the Scots that fled were making their Way, 
the Father told his Two Sons, That it would be better for them to 
Die bravely, than furvive the Ruin of their Country by the cruel Dares. 
They Three took the Yokes'of the Plow, and being able Body'd Men 
and front, they Rood in a narrow Paſswhere the Scots fled, and threat- 
ned Death to any that would fly when all lay at Stake. The more Da- 
ſtardly made a Halt, and the Stouter, who fled more for Company than 
Fear, ſtopped ; and when they were a Number of them returned, Hay 
leading them. on, made a furious Onſet, crying aloud, Help was at 
Hand, Which made the Danes believe a freſh Army of Scots was falling 
on them. The Danes were totally Routed at a Village in Angus, cal- 
_ ted Longearty. When the Conquerors were dividing the Spoil of the 
Field, the Nawe of Hay was in every ones Month; to him they aſcri- 
bed che Vigory, the Honour of that Day, and their own e

and when rich Garments were offered him and his Sons, that they 
might be the more taken Notice of, he refuſed them, and only wiped 
away the Duſt off his Coat, which he uſually wore every Day, and car- 
ried the Yoke which he had uſed in the Fight. As he entered Perth, 
he had all the Shouts and Acclamations of Praiſes; and the next Aſ- 
ſembly held at Scoon, the King rewarded him and his Sons with as much 


Land in the fruitfulleſt Part of the Country, as a Falcon off a Man's 


Hand flew over, until ſhe lighted at a Placecall'd the Falcon. Stone, which 
was Six Miles in Length, and Four in Breadth, lying on the River Tay 
now called Errol. He was the firſt of the Name of Hay, of whom is 


Deſcended the Earls of Errol. who poſſeſs the ſaid Lands to this Day, 


and of their Family are Deſcended many opulent Branches. And the 
King to promote him and his Sons from the Rank of the Plebeians to 


the Order of the Nobility, aſſigned them a Coat of Arms, viz. Argent 


Three Scutcheons Gules; which is the Earl of Errol's Coat to this Day. 


After this Battle Peace ſeemed to be ſettled for many Years; but one 


Carthelinthiis, the Son of Finella the Lady of Fittercarn, made ſome 


Diſturbance, but was by the King Apprehended and Executed. Malcolm Ba : 
the Son of King Duffus being then Governor of Cumberland, and tze 
lawful Heir of the Crown; a Prince of moſt Excellent Endowments, 


and generally beloved of the People, which made Keneth jealous of his 
ſucceeding before his own Son; therefore to make his Son ſure hegave 
Poiſon ſecretly to Malco/m; whichended the Days of that bright Prince, 


_ whoſe Death was very much lamented by every one. The real Cauſe 


thereof not being ſuſpected, the King appeared as much troubled as a- 
ny one at his Death, and cauſed him to be honourably interr'd with the 
greateſt Pomp and Grandeur according to his Birth. But many of the 
Nobles ſoon found out Reaſons to ſuſpect Keneth ; but his outward Shew 
of Sanctity made them forbear to ſpeak of it. The Nobility conſidering 
the inhumane Practices of the UVncles againſt the Nephews, or nextlaw- 
ful Heirs, during the Government, applyed to Kexeth to Abrogate the 
old Law made in the Reign of Fritharis the Second King of Scotland, 

and to Enact: That for the future the next immediate Heir (according 
to the Proximity of Blood) ſhould ſucceed of whatevet Age, and have Guar- 
dians or Regents aſfigned them, until they were of perfect Age. To which 
Keneth willingly conſented, with Hopes that his Poſterity ſhould ſue- 
ceed, therefore Reueth with Conſent of the Repreſentatives of the Peo- 


ple, Convened and Enacted it. 1ſt. That upon the King's Death the

that he heard a Voice from Heaven in his Sleep, expreſſing thoſe 
Words: Doſt thou think that the Murder of Malcolm an innocent Prince, 
is unknown to me, or that thou ſhalt go unpuniſt'd for the ſame? Nay, 
There are Plots laid for thy Life, which thou cannot ſhun. The King be-

Ranſomed from the Yandals, fought Aid from Glaus King of the Scan-

riches of the Kingdom of Scotland was Suſſicient to Satiate his defire of 
Wealth; but, replied. Malcolm; I am ſo Uuconſtant my Self, that Tcannor 
keep my Word, nor do T Confide in the Word of any Man. Then Macduff 


replyed; Avaunt thou Prodigy of Nature, and diſgrace of thy R yal Stock, 


wort hier to be baniſhed to a deſart Iſland, than be Called to a Throne, 
and turned away in a. great Anger. Upon Which Malcolm took him by 


the Hand, and declared to him the Cauſe of his Diſſimulation, telling 
him that he had often been Tryed bythe Wiles of Macbeth, and durſt 


not readily truſt any one, but fince he had proved him, and knew his 
Lineage and Fortune, he would put Fruſt in him, and- embrace his 


Offer, and venture his Life to free his Native Kingdom from the mer- 
cileſs Oppreſſion of the Uſurper Macbeth. King Edward gave Ten thou- 


ſand Men commanded by Seymore and his Son, to aſſiſt Malcolm, with 


which he entered Scotland, and was every Day joined by his Subjects, 
until he had a great Army, with which he Marched to Birnham- Mood 
near the Caſtle of Dunſiunan; and to conceal their Number from Mac- 
beth, they Cut every Man a Birch Treo, which covered all their Bo- 
dies, and when Macbeth (who had but a ſmall, Number of Forces) was 
ſurpriſed, he fled tq the River Tay; and was ſo purſued by Malcolm, 


that he was overtaken and Slain'in Elcho Park by Macduff. Thus end.

King Alexander Married Foleta. Daughter to the Earl of Dreux in

_ March, in- the Lear of Chriſt 1286, in the 45th Year of his Age, and 


the 37th Near of his Reign, fell from his Horſe and broke his Neck, 
near the Weſt Rock of Kinghorn, His Death was univerſally lamen-

Child Margaret call'd the Maiden of Norway. King Edward. of Eng- 


land by Reaſon of his Nearneſs of Relation, ſentan Ambaſſador to the 
Scots to ſend for that Princeſs, as the only Heireſs of their Crown, 
and at the ſame Time propoſed a Marriage betwixt his Son and her,

dom was Govern'd by ſeveral Governors or Regents; -Duncan Macduff, 
Earl of Fife, Fohn Cummin Earl of Buchan, William-Frazer Archbiſhop 
of St. Andrew's and John Stewart, Lord high Steward of Scotland; at 
which Time the Contention aroſe betwixt the Competitors John Baliol 
and Robert Bruce: The Cauſe of their Competition was, that David

Allan Earl of Go/laway whoſe Daughter was Mother to Fohn Baliol, 
the ſecond Daughter of David was married to Robert Bruce Earl of 


Caric, who was Father to Robert Bruce Competitor; the Reaſon of 


Bruce's Competition was, That he was the ſame Degree of Blood with the

the mercileſs Edward. He took many Garriſons and Forts out of the 
Hands of the Exgliſo, and when, Notice thereof was given to Edward, - 
he ſent his Lieutenant General Hugh Craſſing ham, with a great Army 
into Scstland, and was Encountered, by Wallace at Stirling Bridge, 
where Wallace flew him and moſt Part of his Army. Many of tho e who 
fled were Drowned in the River, ſo thatfeweſcaped. After that Wal. 
lace paſt into Northamberland, and laid all Waſte to Newcaſtle. Edward 
who was then in France, hearing of the Feats of Wallace, ſent one to 
threaten him, faying, he durſt not have ventured to have done fo, if 
he were at Home. Wallace anſwered: That he had taken ſuch Advan- 
tage in what he had done, as Edward had taken in opprefling Scotland, 
and that he was reſolved to keep his Eaſter in Eugland. Edward retur- 
ning to Exgland, ratfed an Army of threeſcore thouſand Men, and came 
againſt Wallace, but when Wallace advanced towards them, they retur- 
ned, which made Wallace ſuſpect Deceit, and returned to Scotland, and 
d having fortified the Caſtle of Dunotter, Montroſs, Brichan, Dundee,

and they could ſpeak together; and firſt Bruce began and told Wallace, 
That he wondered what he deſigned by Fighting againſt King Edward

As for me, I will ſpend the laſt Drop of my Blood in Defence of my 


Native Country, and my Love to it ſhall remain as long as my Life 
continues. Brace taking this Speech to Heart, retired to his Forces, 
as Wallace did to his. This Battle was fought the Second of Fuly, in 


which Battle fell many Noble Perſons of the Scots, among whom were 


John Stewart, Macduff Earl of Fife, and Sir Fohn Graham a moſt vali- 
ant Man, who was ſtill reckoned next to Wallace. Many of the Nobles 
of England alſo fell in this Battle. After this Battle Wallace went to 
Perth, where he diſmiſſed his Army, and from that Day forward ated 
no more as General, yet never did ceaſe (with his Friends and Followers 


who till tuck to him) to take all Opportunities to Deſtroy the Eng- I

vided into Three Parts, againſt which Army John Cummin with John 
Frazar, gathered an Army, and met the Engliſh near Roſſine Four 
Miles from Edimmbargh, and in one Day fought with one ſmall Army 
of 12000, the Three Engliſh Armies, and Routed them entirely. Theſe 
three Battles were fought the fourth of February 1302. Edwarqbeing In-

Skirmiſhes, Killed ſeveral Partys of the Engliſh. Edward ſent ſeveral 

great Offers to induce Wallace to ſubmit to his Power, but his Anſwer 
" All was, That he never would be Subject to any but the lawjul King of 
Scotland, and that he had devoted his Lifeto hisCountry to which it was

the Engliſh. William the Father of this Fames; was (for not ſubmitting - 


to Edward's Authority) carried Prifoner to England, and Died there, 
and this James was taken Care of by William Lambart, Biſhop. of St. 
Andrew's, the Biſhop having taken Dowglaſs to Edward hen he was 
to wait upon him at Stirling, ſpoke to Edward to give him his Patri- 
mony or take him into his Tt re

would make no uſe of the Son of fo ſtubborn a Father, and as for his 
„ Eſtate, he had given it to ſome of his Friends wlio deſerved -it bet- - -

Edward, ſtayed with-the Biſhop till Bruce came into the Aerus, and then 
he took-Lambart's Horſes: and Money, and joined Bruce, to whom he 
did great Service. Not long after Edward Died in Lancaſter, and. was 
ſucceeded by his Son Edward of Carnar van, (which was the Place where 


he was born,) which Edward Renewed the War againſt Bruce, but had 


not the ſame Succeſsas his Father. Robert Bruce being at the ſametime 
deſperately ſick, it was by ſome Reported, that he was Dead, which 
encouraged John Cummin to gather all the Forces he could, wich De- 


fign to have himſelf proclaimed King: But Robert hearing. of his De- 


ſigns, got his Friends with their Followers together, and came a- 
gainſt Cummin. He was ſo weak that he was ſupported on his Horſe 
by one on each Side, which as ſoon as Cimmir's Party law, they im- 
mediately fled and diſperſed. After that Edward entered Scotland with

an Army, but was wearied out by King Robert, and returned witk- 
out any Action. The next Lear Domglaſs with a Party entered Eng- 


land twice, and returned with great Booty each Time. By that Time 


the King had diſpoſſeſſed the Exgliſh of the moſt Part of the Nation, 


except the ſtrong Caſtle of Stirling, which was Beſieged by Edward 


Bruce the King's Brother, but with little Succeſs, at laſt came to 
Terms of Surrender, which was: That if Mowbray the Governor- off. 
it, was not relieved in a Year to commence from that very Day, by 
the Exgliſp, he ſhould ſurrender the Caſtle.” Thoſe Conditions much 
diſpleaſed the King, but would not Detract from his Brother's Cre-

continued Governor or Regent, kept the Kingdom in entire Peace and 


Quietneſs; but Edward K ing of England molt treacherouſly hired a 
Monk to kill the Regent by Poyſon. The Monk gave out that he had 
great Skill in curing the Stone (wherewith the Regent was afflicted) 


and was introduced to the Regent, which gave him Opportunity to 


take Effect accotding to the Monk's Expectation; and he fetufned to 


tell Edward that he had done his Buſineſs; whereupon Edward raiſed 


a great Army, and came to the Border, of which the Regent had No- 
tice, and preſently Marched againſt him, he not being able to Ride, 
was carried in a Litter. When Edward heard that Randulf was in 
Perſon, he ſent a Herauld under Pretence of ſeeking Peace, whom the 
Regent received with a very auſtere Countenance, reproving Edward 
for Breach of his Promiſes without any Provocation. When the He. 
rauld returned and certified Edward, that Randulff was alive, he re- 
turned home with his Army, and ſeized the Monk and burnt him a- 


live. The Regent returned home and died of the Poyſon at Muſel- 


brough. After his Death the Earls of Mar and March were appointed 


Governours. Soon after they took the Regency upon them, Edward

This Good King was greatly lamented by all his Subjects. He was 


Main in the Flower of his Age when he Intended to ſettle the Kingdom 
and Inſtitute Good Laws. He was Inferior to none of his royal An- 


ceſtors for rich Endowments of Body and Mind; though ofa low Size 
yet he was very Strong, and -Exceeded moſt Perfons in his Age, in 


Strength and Agility: And as to his Mind, he was Endued with that 
Vigour and Quickneſs of Wit, that he was not Ignorant of any Science 


-worthy the knowledge of a Perſon of a fine Genius. He was Ex- 


cellently well Skilled in Muſick, tor there was no Inſtrument but he 


Could readily play upon it, and his Voice ſa adapted to it, that he might 
de Compared with the Beſt Maſterin thoſe Days. That he underſtoed 


Civil Government: well, Sufficiently Appears by the Laws which he 


made, by which he. not.only much benefited his own Age, but alfo 
Poſterity; and his greateſt Enemies, who detracted from him whilft 
alive, when he was dead, moſt paſſionately revered his Memory. He 

Was Murdered the 12th of Febraary, in the Year of Chriſt 1437

Command of them to the Earl of Murr, whereupon the Engliſh re- 
44 tired, and the Scors divided into three Parties, entered England, and 
returned with great Booty without any Oppoſition. The King Tent _ 

Letters full of Complaints againſt his Uncle King Henry to the Court 

of France. After that Henry ſent an Ambaſſador to Scotland, deſiring 

King James might appoint a Day and Place of Interview, that they 
might Confer together; and at the ſame Time made an Offer to him 

of his Daughter Mary, and that he would leave him King of all Bri 

tains after his Death; and that he might the better Credit his Pro- 
7 miſe, he would make him Duke of Tork, and Vice-Roy of the King- -

to Scotland with ſome Books containing the Theſes of Religion. The 
King ſhewed all due Reſpect to the Biſhop, but as for the Books he 
told, That they only belonged to Chirchmen,. and took no Notice of them. 
To fay the Truth of his Majeſty, he was no Biggot, nor did he ſuffer

they without Delay aſſaulted them, (the Engliſh Army being Thrice the 
Number of the Scofs,) and routed them, and took many Priſeners; 
when the Loſs of this Battle was made known, to the King, he 
was very much affiited, and what added very much to his Affliction 
was the Loſs of both his Sons, the one died at St. Andrews, and 
the other at Sterling in one Week. The King retir'd to his Palace of 
Falkland, and after a few Days Sickneſs departed this Life the 13th 
of December in the 33d Year of his Age, and 31ſt Year of his Reign, 


and was upon the 19th of January after Entombed in the Royal 


Vault in the Abbey of Holyrood Houſe by his firſt Queen Magdalen, 
where their Bodies with many others of the Royal Family lie in 
Lead Coffins entire to this Day. About Eight Days before the King's 
Death, the Queen was brought to Bed of a Daughter, aſter named 
Mary. This King was the Greateſt Loſs that ever Scotland ſuſtain'd: 


He was certainly as Great and Good a King as ever fat upon the 
Throne of that Antient Nation; for its Intereſt and Advantage was 


the only Scope of his Deſigns, which he ſufficiently reſtified by refu- 
ſing the many profitable Offers of the King of England; only, be- 
cauſe he knew how pernicious the Conſequences. of ſuch Coveteouſ- 
"neſs would inevitably prove to his Native Country Scotland: In his 
Life-time his Countenance, and the Make of his Bogy was very Come

Mciently cultiva- 


his Country; and though very Auftere and Severe to Offenders; yet, 
was very Humble, Mild and Eaſy of Acceſs, even to the pooreſt Per- 


ſons. He very often took Notice of Indigent Perſons, and would pa- 
tiently hear their Cauſes, and grant their juſt Defires, ſo penetrating 
was his Judgment, that he otten beheld Perſons at a Diſtance, aud,

Right and Prerogative of her Birth; and ſhe did afterwards Reign

Man, and tel Defemed: of Body, tho' a Man of great Judgment: 

Notwithſtanding of which, much has been ſince reflected upon the Ho-

was done that was deſigned; but Morton carried the King away, aud 


made him lock up the Queen in the Palace, and put a Guard of Sol-

afſured him, That her Heart was without Gall. But when Murray wis 
with the Queen, the King had Notice thereof, and was afraid of his

out; and the Queen feeing him diſpleafed, Addreſs'd him, {aying::

fix Noblemen and Gentlemen ſlain... The Queen being ſadly afflicted with 
ſo much. Blood-ſhed, thought an innocent Retreat the only Way to 
hinder more. She reſolved to leave her own Kingdom, and not to fall 
into the Hands of her cruel Brother Murray, who after that Vidory 
Exerciſed his Tyranny over thoſe of the Nobility and their Friends 
who had aſſiſted the Queen, and further encouraged Buchannan

in the Neighbourhood of her own Kingdom, the better to facilitate 
her Return to it, as ſoon as ſhe could bring her Subjects to a reaſona-

gage them to it than her Couſin: Queen Elizabeth. But when ſhe

not to make Choice of that Place for her Safety, which wonld certain-

Lenox, the King's Grandfather: But the Reformers having the ſtrongeſt 
Party, they oblig'd the Regent to ſubmit to their Pleaſure : Lenox 
. propoſed to the Reformers to take the ſame Method in Reforming 
as the Proteſtants in England had done, but that Propoſition was 
tifly withſtood and objected againſt by John Knox and George Buchan- 
non, as being very Little altered from down-right Popery, as they ſaid. 
Lenox being ſlain in a Tumult at Stirling, was ſucceeded by the Earl of 
Mar : But Morton thinking Mar too muchin the Intereſt of the Captive 
Queen, made a Party, and took the Regency from him, and got him- 
ſelf choſen Regent; but Morton wanted the Aﬀiſtance of his truſty 
Friend the Earl of Murray, and was fo very Proud of his high Place, 
that there was no Bounds to his Extravagancy and Inſolence, where- 
by he wrought his own Ruin EffeCtually : The King coming to the 
Age of Twelve Years took the Government upon him; he ſeem'd 
very much concern'd for the Afflicting Impriſonment of the Queen 
his Mother; but had too ſtrong a Party of her Enemies about him, 
to attempt any Means for her Releaſe. When the King was above 
Fifreen Years of Age, ſeveral Papers were found, whereby it ap- 
pear'd that the Earls of Murray and Morton were the Contrivers of 
the late King's Murder; and that they had imployed Bothwe# and 
many others to execute the N Fat. The Earl of Murray being

tence of Death was paſt upon him for being Art and Part in the 
Murder of the late King Henry; upon which many of thoſe who had 


ſo Violently Perſecuted and Detamed the Queen, fled ſecretly, fear- 
ing the King would then proceed to puniſh his Mother's Perſecutors, 


as well as his Father's Murtherers: But that Puniſhment-extended no 
further then Morton, who was beheaded at Edinburgh by an Inftru- 
ment of Execution- he had himſelf contrived, and ordered to be made. 


for other Necks; but he himſelf got the firſt Stroke or (as they term 
it) Maidenhead of it, by which it was called the Maiden; which In- 
ſtrument has ever ſince been uſed to behead Peers, and Perſons of Qua- 


lity : 'Tis certainly far before any other Inſtrument of Execution in 
the known World for Dexterity of Execution. Here let my Im- 


partial Reader conſider, that this Earl's juſt Suffering was an evident 


Teſtimony of the Innocence of Queen Mary; but yet her Friends be- 
ing the weaker Party they could not attempt any Thing. 


Among thoſe who fled upon the Impeachment of the Earl of Mor- 
ton, the Learned George Buchannan was one, - fearing his Life might 
be in Danger, but after ſome Years Stay over Seas he returned with- _ 
out being ſuſpected, and ſoon got into Favour. with his Pupil the: 
King; but yet his De Jure Regn! apud Scotos, was condemned by the. 
King and Parliament, in the Year of Chriſt 1584; and I wonder 
What People of this Age mean, to have that Scandalous Seditious Li- 
bel Tranſlated and Re- printed. Upon my Word 1 think it is very 


great Impudence in any Scotsman to offer to hand down to Poſterity 


ſuch a Seditious Treaſonable Libel, expreflly againſt the Acts pafſ'd. 


by the King and People, to ſuppreſs and deſtroy It, 
T be King ſpenta great Part of his Time in ſettling Religion, but 
found Difficulty to bring it to any Conformity. In the Year 1589, a 
Marriage was treated with Ann, Daughter to Frederick the Second, King; 
of Denmark: And the King hearing that bis Marriage was Conſumated 
by Proxy, he took Shipping at Lieth, and in Five Days after landed in 


Denmark, and was ſolemnly Married and after ſpending ſome Days with 


the Queen Mother of Denmark, he ſet Sail and arrived ſafe in Leith Har- 
bour the 20th of May. 15 90, and. ſoon after the Queen was ſolemnly 


Crown'd at Holy-rood- houſe, and on the 3othof Auguſt 1593, ſhe. was

Ia the Year 1599 John Earl of Gowry and his Brother Alexander 
Ruthven attempted to kill the King at Perth: But both of them wer e 
ſlain in the Attempt, and all their Lands were ſeized for the King's 
Uſe, and the 5th of Auguſt is ever ſince Celebrated in Commemora- 
tion thereof. The 26th of Februar) 1600 Prince Charles was Born at 
Dunfermling. About this Time the King laboured with great Care 


to bring the Church or Kirk of Scotland to a Conformity in Go- 
vernment, and Ceremonies, but had very indifferent Succeſs in 
that Undertaking. On the 24th of March 1662, Queen Elizabeth 


of England Died, and left her Crown to King James in Return for 
his Mother's Head; (an Honourable Exchange indeed!) when the 
King received the News he called a Counſel, and the 5th of April 
he ſet out for England, and was attended by a Number of the No- 
bility and Gentry : But among his Numerous:Train-he took Notice 
of a certain Centleman, who came in deep Mourning ; the King know- 
ing him asked him the Reaſon of his being in Mournnig; he anſwered 


be could do mo Leſs than attend the Funeral of the Nation in that Dreſs, 


The King took very great Notice of that Saying, and ſeem'd to be 
in very great Concern, but dropp'd the Thought, and went ſtraight 
to London, and was with great Solemnity received at the Charter- 
Houſe where he ſtay'd Four Days, and-then conferr'd the Honour of 
Knighthood upon Eighty Gentlemen: And on St. James's Day, the

King James was not long in England before the Lords. Cobham and 
Grey, Sir Walter Rawleigh, Sir Griffin Markham, George Brook Brother 


to the Lord Cobham, and ſeveral others were all convicted of High 


Treaſon, and were condemned, and brought even to the Place of Ex- 
ecution, and moſt of them freely pardoned, and ſome of them remit- 


ted Priſoners to the Tower : Among thoſe who were continued Pri- 


ſoners in the Tower, was the Famous Sir Walter Rawleigh, who ſome 
Years after propoſed to the King to find Gold Mines in the Eaſt-In- 
dies in a Place called Guyana, and that without any Wrong to the 
King of Spain, but at his Return ſuch Complaints were made, that 
he was beheaded. Several remarkable Paſſages and Tranſactions hap- - 
pen'd during the King's abode in England, and among the Reſt the 


Gun- Pomder-Treaſon ſo much talked of. I find many People write 


differently of this Plot: The Roman Cat holicks ſay, it was a contrived © 
Plot of Secretary Cicil to deſtroy the Papiſts, and he. alledged it was 
a..Popifſh Plot to deſtroy the King and Parliament. But fince it was

The King feem'd Extremely pleaſed with his Reception, and with 
all the Tranſactions there, during bis Stay. As the King was al 
ways very Zealous for the Church of England, his Majeſty had no- 
thing more at Heart, than to Unite the two Kingdoms under one Form 
of Worſhip ;, and *tis believed, his Majeſty carried Dr. Laud with 


him in that Journey, with Deſign to carry on that Work. Dr. 
Taud Preached in the Royal Chappel at, Edinburgò before the King 


(which no Engliſhman had everdone before) and in his Sermon Exhor- 
ted the People of Scotland, to a Conformity with the Church of 
England; and had all the Marks of Applauſe, and Approbation Ima- 


ginable: The great Love, Obedience and Civility of-the People be- 
ing ſo Univerſal; *tis believed; if the King had propoſed the Litur- 


gy of the Church of Exgland at that Time, it had been received and 
praiſed by the Nation, without any Oppoſition. 'But the King was 
adviſed by ſome of the Engliſh Nobility, that it was not a proper 


time to promote that Buſineſs; (becauſe forſooth they dreaded ſuch 
an Agreement might obſtruct their inhumane Deſigns.) The King made 


no further Motion in Church Affairs but that he left Charge with 
foine Biſhop's in Scotland, to provide ſuch a Liturgy, and Book of 
Cannons, as might be moſt Suitable to the Humour of the People; 


and as ſoon as they made them ready, they ſhould Tranſmit them to 


the Arch-Biſhop of Canterbury: And the King left Scotland the laſt 
of Auguſt. On the 14th of Ofober 1633 James Duke of Tork was 
Born. According to the King's orders, the Biſhops of Scotland, ſent 
a Liturgy and Book of Cannons to England, but while the Arch- 
Biſhop of Canterbury had it to Conſider of, Many Perſons in England 
had employ'd their Tongues and Pens againſt Epiſcopacy and Biſhops; 
among which was Dr. Williams Biſhop of Eincoln who was fined and 
ſuſpended from his Office and Benefits, and Impriſoned for Foment- 
ing the People againſt Epiſcopacy and Biſhops, and venting ſome 
diſhonourable Speeches againſt the King: As alſo Mr. Pryz, Dr. Baſt- 
wick, Mr. Burton, a Lawyer, Phyſician and Divine, for writing a- 
gainſt Epiſcopacy and Biſhops, were ſentenced to pay 50001. to 
loſe their Ears in the P:#ory, and be branded with Hot Irons in the 
Forehead, and ſent into Baniſhment. When many of the Seditious- -

Nobilty of Scotland, who indeed had been bred in Antimonarchical 
Principles, and were eaſily prevailed upon, to believe what was moſt

they in their moſt Impious Deſigns, that they had poſſeſſed the Com- (u

the King at that time was too eaſily. perſwaded to believe His Ene- 


mies, and was ſo much Directed by them, that every thing in Church 


and State was carried on, as ſeem'd moſt agreeable to them. The 


Covenanters Expell'd all Biſhops, and Canonical Clergy, from being 


Members of the Aſſembly. The King foreſceing the troubles in Eng- 


land, Endeavoured to make the People of Scotland His Friends, by all 
poſſible means: The: Lord Lomden he made Chancellor, and Created him 


an Earl, altho' he had been the greateſt Manager of the late Inſurrecti- 


on of the Covenanters : And their General Leſly, He made Earl of Le- 


von, and their Lieutenant-General Livingſton, was made Earl of Callan- 


dier; all the above Named Perſons, gave the King all the Aſſurances 


and Promiſes of Fidelity and Loyalty : Yet they inſtead of being 
Grateful to His Majeſty for ſuch great Favours, made uſe of. their 
Preferment, to make themſelves more powerful Enemies. 


Ihe King Returned to England in November, and was Received with 


as great a Shadow of Loyalty and Joy, as ever had been ſeen upon any 
Occaſion : The Affairs of Ireland at that time, occaſioned very great Noiſe, 


and the King Propoſed to go there in Perſon, not doubting but His 


Preſence might have Pacified the-Commotions of that Country : But 


as that ſeem'd Diſadvantageous to His Enemies, they diſwaded His 
Majeſty from that purpoſe, and labour'd Daily to Alienate the Affecti- 
ons of His People from Him, and to make His Majeſty Odious to them. 


The Animoſities growing till greater; the King begun to ſuſpect what 
ſoon came to paſs, and removed from London to Hampton Court, and 
from thence to Windſor; and from that the Queen went with the 
Princeſs Mary (Accompanied by the King) to Dover, and took Ship- 


ping, and went to Holland; the Princeſs being Married by Proxy to 
the Prince of Orange, and was then Solemnly deſired by the States Am- 


| baſſador, who Waited on the Queen and Princeſs to Holland, and the 


King returned to Theobalds, and ſent for the Prince; and after ſome 


Days ſtay there, finding the Parliament ſtill proceed in their Factiouf-

He continued for ſome time, having Daily Meſſages from the Parlia- 


ment of England, who had then Declar'd Publickly what they had fo

Daily Printed and Publiſhed and ſo War was Denounced by their

The King having thus formed an Army, the People of the Counties 
of Darby, Stafford and Shropſhire, Joyned His Majeſty; and He made 
the Earl of Lindſey His Lieutenant General, and Prince Rupert, (His 
Siſter's Son) General of the Horſe. „ 2180” 4 
Upon the h of September, the Earl of Eſſex ſet forth out of London, 
with the Parliament-Army call'd the Round Heads, (from a Cuſtom the 
Puritans had of cutting their Hair ſhort to their Ears.) And the King's 
party were call'd the Caviliers. The firſt Action of any Note, was at 
Worceſter by Prince Rupert, and His Brother Prince Maurice, where 
they Routed a Body of the Rebels, and Kill'd moſt of their beſt Of. 
ficers, and took many Priſoners: This Victory was of conſiderable Ad- 
vantage to the King, as alſo it rendred the Name of Prince Rupert ter- 
rible to the Rebels: The next Battle was the * of October; the Bat- 
tle of Baghill was Fought where the King had the Victory, but loſt 
the Earl of -Lindſey, the Lord Stewart, Son to the Earl of Lenox, and 
Sir Edward Yarney the Standard Bearer. The King afterwards went 
to Brentford, from thence to Ox ford, where His Majeſty was received with 
all the Demonſtrations of Loyalty and Affection; eſpecially hy the Uni- 
verſity, to whom the Fidelity and Integrity of that Place was Owing. 
All this time the Covenanters in Svotland were quiet, having given 
the King (when in Scotland) all poſſible Aſſurances of their Loyalty and 
and Good Behaviour for the Future. And their Old General Leſh, be- 
ing then in Treland, where he had Rooted out many of the Inhabitants of 
the: Province of Ulſter, and Planted it by the Covenant ers, aud Exgliſh 
Proteſtants: This General, when the King had made him Earl of Te. 
den, Swore Solemnly to His Majeſty, not only never to bear Arms a- 
gainſt Him, but alſo, that he ſhontd Serve His Majeſty upon any Call, 
without asking the Cauſe; The Earls of Argy/e and Lomden, having 
made the like Promiſes: Yet notwithſtanding of all this, they were pre- 
yailed on, by their Correſpondents in England, by the Bait of Religion, 


to Violate all their Oaths and Promiſes to the King, and renew; theit 


former Under-Hand Treachery, but did not think. proper to Declare 
their Defigns : The Duke of Hamilton who was Witneſs to; moſt: of 
their Proceedings, (but with no other Defign, than to acquaint! the 
King therewith, altho' a certain Great Eag/iſh-Aathor, has very Groſs. 
iy Mifreproſented his Actions in General, and that of His ſtay with the 
Feen in particular,) and when he found that their Deſigns were 
againſt the King's Intereſt, he went to His Majeſty at Tork, oY Ts.

he Marched out of the,Town at Midnight, and fearing their Number 
might difcoyer them, ordered every one to ſhift for himſelf, and His 
Majeſty, with one Colonel Carleſs, came to a Place called Boſcoble, where 
he Diſ-robed himſelf, and for want of Scizars, had his Hair cut off 
with. a Knife, and went to a Wood, where he Lodged in the Famous 
Royal Oab; where; Colonel Carleſs brought him ſuch Proviſion as the 
place could Afford, which was no better then ſome Milk. and Coarſe 
Bread: All this time the Soldiers were Hypting about for His Majeſty, 
is Majeſty was. There 
was alſo a Reward of a Thouſand Pounds promiſed to any who 
would take him Dead or a Live. This Colonel Carleſs being a Roman- 
Catholicka knew all the People of ever] Rank, in that part of the Coun-

of his own Profeſſion, he brought the King to the Houſe of one Pen- 
drel, a Faithful Perſon, known to Carlefs, where the King reſted in 
the Night, and went to the Oak-Tree in the Day. When His Majeſty 
was in the Tree with Carleſs, they ſaw ſeveral of the Searching-Sol- 


diers paſs about them, and heard them talk, how they would uſe the 


King, if they could Apprehend him, After ſome Days being ſpent in 


this Condition, Car/eſs went to another little Houſe, .. Which he 
thought more convenient for the King, and ſent a Guide for the King, 


who Adviſed his Majeſty to change his Cloaths with Pendrell, which 
he did, but would willingly have kept his own Shirt; but conſi- 


dering that nothing could ſooner, diſcover one then Fine Linnen with 


bad Cloaths, He was content to put on à Canvaſe-Shirt, which his 
oor Land-Lord had worn ſome Days, inſtead. of Fine Linnen: His

he having got Old Shooes, he was forced to take them off, and walk 


in his bad Stockings, which were ſoon Torn, and his Feet Wounded, 
going over Thorny- Hedges, to ſhun the High- Roads. At laſt His Ma- 
jeſty came to His Lodging, where there was a Barn and Straw- Bed, 
provided, with ſome Butter and Cheeſe, where with he thought himſelf 
well Feaſted; the next Day, Colonel Carleſs ſent one Mr. Hudleſton, a 
Roman-Catholick-Clergyman, a very. Diſcreet Man, who very much 
comforted. His Majeſty, and let him know- where the Lord Wilmot - was 
Conceal'd,. whom he brought to the King; the Lord Wilmot and 
Hudleſton, brought His Majeſty. to the Houſe of one Mr. Laue, a very 
Faithful and Loyal Gentleman. Here the King, inſtead of his former 


hard Fare, had every thing that was uſeful: His Majeſty there Saw, and

lately Retcover'd of '#i Agne, and deſired a convenient Room and Fire 


might be got for her Servant, 'who was taken all care of by the Ser- 


vans, but at Supper, ſhe ordered the Buttler to carry ſome Broth from 
the Table to her Servant Milian; the Buttler no ſooner looked upon 
His Brother-Servant, then he knew him to be the King, and fell upon 
his Knees, and Prayed to God to bleſs His Majeſty, ſhedding Tears, to 
ee him in that Condition; but the King, tho? Surprized, was

mocked Him, but the Buttler, Who very well knew His Majeſty, told 
Him, he wits ready to Saetriſſce his Eife, to Serye and Obey, what ever 
His Mapeſty order d him; he having been a Falconer to Sir Thomas Fermyn 
formerly, put the King in mind of ſeveral Particulars, which His Majeſty 
Well remembred: Whereupon the King, made him Swear, that he 
would never take any Notice of Him, even to his Maſter, altho' he was 
ure of his Fidelity, the Buttler obeyed the King's Orders, and till gave 
:the King all poſſible Attendance while there 
One Dr. Gorges, who had been one of the King's Chaplains, chanced

After Zupper, out of good Nature to fee William, without telling any

Hack ſide of the Bed, to be far from the Candle; the Doctor came and 
Zate down by the Bed, and felt his Pulſe, and asked Him many Que- 
Mobs, which he Anſwered in as few words as poſſible, the Doctor left 
Him, and went to Mrs. Zune, telling her he had been with Miiam, and

firſt Sur prized with the Diſmal Account of the Ship being loſt, but to 
their great Comfort, His Royal Highneſs Arrived ſafe at Edinburgh 
the next Day; and after ſome ſtay returned to Exgland. i 
In the Year, 1683. Iwo Horrid Plots was Diſcovered at London, againſt 
the King, the firſt was carried on by the Citizens of London. The 
Chief Managers were Toſtah Reeling, a Silter by Trade, John Rumſey, 
- Thomas Shepherd, Robert Weſt; a Lawyer, Zach. Bourn, a Brewer, and 
others, who contrived a general Inſurrection, and to Murder the King 
and Duke of Tork, with a Deſign, to give the Crown ta the Nuke of 
Monmouth, the King's. Baſtard-Son : The Duke was Aſſiſted in his Am- 
bitious Hopes, by the Lord Shaftsbury, as alſo the Earl of Argyle, and 
Sir John Cochran, who deſired to Raiſe a, Rebellion in Scotland at the 
„% TT 3 
The Earl of Argyle, had ſome time before made his Eſcape out 
of the Caſtle of Elinburgh, where he lay under Sentence of Condemna- 
tion, for High- Treaſon, for Refuſing the Teſt enjoyned by Act of Par- 
liament: Their firſt Contriyance being almoſt Diſcovered, they Set all 
Hands and Heads to work again, to Deſtroy the King, and Duke of Jork; 
and they Concerted that one Richard Rumbald, who, Lived at a Houſe, 
called the Rye, about two, Miles from - Hoddeſden in Hertford- Shire, 
which ſtood in the King's Road to New-Market, ſhould have a Party ia 
his Houſe ready to beſet the King and Duke, and Murder them; and 
then the ſeveral Ring- Leaders were to Raiſe their, Parties, and Pro- 
claim the Duke of Monmouth. As the Duke had Declared himſelf a 
great Friend to the Rebellious-Fanaticks ; all that Party was very Buſie 
in this Conſpiracy, but Divine Providence Diſcovered their Inhumane 
Practices, and many of them were Deſervedly Executed, and many others 
fled with the Duke beyond Seas; but he returned ſome Months after, 
and was Pardoned by th: King his Father. This was the ſo much 
Talked of Rye-Houſe Plot. During this King's Reign; Scotland, En- 
joyed great Plenty, Proſperity and Peace, except the little Diſturb- 
ances of theſe unruly Parties, whe where ſoon quaſhed by the King's 
Forces and Friends. 3 2

of his Royal Father, and had Ruled the Iſle of Britain and Ireland, 
24 Years with great Eaſe, notwithſtanding, the many wicked Conſpi- 
racies Plotted againſt his Majeſty's Life, by the Reſtleſs Engliſh. His

Earl of Mar was Slain, and the Standard taken, and begged that the 


General might draw off the Army to ſome more advantagious Ground, 
and tis ſaid the General was ſo Diſcouraged, that Inſtead of giving 
any Orders, he Rode ſtraight off; and Drummond went ſtraight into

_ Earl of Mar. had not above 2300 did engage Cloſe, and the Regi-

Wedneſday the 16th they canton'd about Dupline Forglen, and the Ad- 
jacent Villages; and the 17th tHey Marched into Perth. 

Saturday the 19th the Earl of Mar Received a Letter from Brige- 
dier Mackintoſh, dated from Preſton Sunday the 13th, Giving an Ac- 


count of their Action, and hopes of Victory over General Wills, and 


Orders was given for publick Rejoycing thenext day being Sunday, but 
in the Midſt of the Rejoycing, the Diſmal Account of tne Surrender 
of- Preſton came into Perth: The particular Account of: that Action, 


and the Conſequences thereof, I reckon you have before now from 


ſome of thoſe Unfortunate Perſons, who were Witneſſes of it; therefore 
thall not take any Notice of it, but continue the Thread of my Story iu 
ſo far as concerns the Party in Scotland. After the Accounts were 
brought to Perch of the Surrender of Preſton, and many of thoſe who 
had fled from the Battle of Sherriffmure went ſtraight Home; the 
Number then at Perth being very few, many of the Principal Perſons 
begun to Grumble, which occaſion'd great Diſturbance at Perth, inſo- 
much that the Earl of Mar had much to do to pacify them. The Diſ- 


contented Perſons held ſeveral Meetings, and were called, The Grambling 
Club, of which the Marquiſs of Huntly was the Chief Tool, for the Ma. 


ſter of Sinclair aii Sir Robert Gordon of Gordonſton, Led his Lordſhipby 
the Noſe. Their Letters to the Duke of Argyle were intercepted, and 
brought to the Earl of Mar; upon which they with all the Members of the 
Club, pretended to come into my Lord Mar's Meaſures, and make all 
up. But then the Earl of Sutherland had Repoſſeſs'd himſelf of Inver- 
neſs, the Grambling Clumb, (at leaſt thoſe who Ruled the Marquiſe 
of Huntly,) Contrived to get a Commiſſion to March North 
their Forces to retake Inverneſs, to which the Earl of Mar Conſented, 
and the Marquiſs with the Maſter of Sinclair, Brigadier Ogilvie 
and Sr. Robert Gordon his Governours, with all his Horſe and .Foor. 
left Perth, and Marched Home, the Marquiſs of Seaforth had alſo at 
that Time gone North to Recruit his Forces after the Battle, which 
he was ſome time about, it being then in the midſt of Winter and a 
prodigious deal of Snow on the Ground, he could not be very Expe- 
ditious in gathering them. In the mean Time when the Earl of 
Mar Expected the Marquifs of Huntly to have gone againſt Inverneſs, 
he * an Interview with the Lord Rhae at Elgin, and agreed upon n 
Ceſſation of Arms: And Treated by the Lord Rhae with the Earl of 
Sutherland for a Protection or Pardon from the Government; which 


_ *tis believed he procured at — Time, tho' he could not get all his

beheaded on Tower- Hil, and his Corps was carried by Sea to Leith, 
where it was received by a Number of his Lordfhip's Relations in 
Mourning, and was Conyoyed to his Burying Place at Nenmure in 
Galloway. The Reſt of the Geatlemen.. were decently Buried in the 
ſeveral Towns where they were Executed. 

Beſides thoſe Executed, there died in the ſeveral Prifons Thirtyfix, | 
and about Ninety-Eight were Tranſported; the moſt part of them 
being Highlanders with ſeveral Gentlemen 3 Whereas in Scotland 
none were Executed at all, Except one John Knox, who was fhot at 
Perth tor Deſerting, and a Serjeant of the Caſtle of Edinburgh, who 
was to have aſſiſted in getting the Caſtle to the Party, that attemp- 
ted taking of it. 5

le Stein Bidog; this Weapon they uſe in Battles when they cannot well 
weild che Broad Sword. The Highlanders are ſeldom without Four. 
it- _ Weapons,” 12. Broad Sword, Durk, Carbine and Side Piſtol; and 
„ || often a Pair. Their Cloaths are very thin and light; for moſt Part 
le made of Plaids of diverſe Colours, ſtanding very much to Black, Red, 
is _ Blew, and Green, which makes their Cloaths-near a Heath Colour, 


77 which they at Firſt deſigned in War Time, to keep them undi ſcover- 


_ ed from their Enemies when they lay among the Heath, chere being 
8. very long Heath in many Parts of the Highlands; by wearing ſuch 
a || Colours they often had Advantage of the Enemy; eſpeciallß when 
. dark, or after or before the Sun; at which time an Army of High- 
1 landers cannot be diſcern'd on a" Heath, tho' very near. The Manner 
f. of their Dreſs are either in ſhort Coat, Trews and Plaid; the 
t, Trews is Breeches and Hoſe in one Piece: For Marching or Tra- 
3 velling they dreſs in ſhort Coat and ſhort Hoſe with a belted Plaid 
without Breeches, with their Thighs Naked; but the Plaid being 
| gathered under the Belt like: a Woman's Petticoat, it covers their 
e Nakedneſs. In this Dreſs they without any Concern can travel thro' 
. deep Snow and Froſt, and 1ye in the Fields without any Covering but 
* their Plaid over them, with the Targe raiſed by the Hilt of the Broad 
Sword for their Pillow; nor do they love any ſoft Bed although in 
. their Offer. Their Way of Living, tho“ very ſtrange," yet is very 
e WMholſome. In the Highlands for moſt Part, their Houſes are made all of 
Timber; they take the large Trees, and ſetting the Roots in the 
Ground at ſuch Diſtance as they deſign the Breadth of their Houſes, 
and ſertingthe Tops of them cloſe, being tyed or joined with Wooden 
Nails, or Withies made of Birtch Twigs twiſted; this being the 
Principal Pillars or Couples, they thwart them with ſmaller. Timber, 
and cover the whole with-:Scraws*or Divots, which/is' Broad Ovel 
Thin Sodd, which they dig dry and prepare for that Uſe, they ha- 
ving a Dexterous Method of Lay ing them on, that ſor ſeveral Tears 
Rain cannot penetrate them. They have for Beds, either Heath or 
Fern, which is very Sweet and Wholſome, the Heath they tye very 
cloſe with he Topo and the Roots downwards, ſo:that this makes 
a yery ſweet and pleaſant Bed, to ſuch as love it, and are Accuſtomed 
with it. Their Bed Cloaths being the ſame they wear in Plaids, - 
Having thus far Deſcribed the Highlands, and the Inhabitants there- 
of, I ſhall give all the Deſcription that is Neceſſaryo f the Lowlands,
