Your affectionat freinds Duvibar 24 of May All thus my Lord wer I your brother I should offer unto you, which is the best and truest expression of my being your L"'' most humble servant From my quarter Holland 22 May.

To all our loving subjects whom it shall or may concerne; Greeting, Wheras we ar thus farr advanced in our Royall person with our armie, and the attendance of our nobility and gentry of this kingdome, and intend to be shortly at our good towne of Barwicke, with purpose to give our good people of Scotland all just satisfaction in Parliament, as soone as the present dis- orders, and tumultuous proceidings of some there, ar quieted: But finding some cause of impediment and that this nation doth apprehend that con- trarie to their professions ther is ane intention to invade this our kingdome of England, We doe therfor to cleare all doubts, that may breed scruples in the mynds of our good subjects of either kingdome, reiterate this our just and reall protestation: That if all civile and temporall obedience be effectually and tymely given and shewen unto us we doe not intend to invade them with any hostilitie.

An original print has been preserved at Queen's College, Oxford, which Mr. Firth has been good enough to collate with this copy. Peterkin's copy is inaccurate and mis- leading. Given at our Court at Newcastle the fourteenth day of May, in the fifteenth yeare of our raigne. God Save the King. Upon the 25 May being Saturday we sent away with the trumpeter Sir Jhon Hume of Blacader Knight with our answer to my Lord Holland and with privat instructions to himself.

Insh-iictions Ye shall shew my Lord Holland 1. The true estate of the question whether we shal be governed by generall assemblies in matters ecclesiasticall and by parliament in matters civile unto whose decision we have ever submitted ourselves, our person our cause and our pro- ceidings ; albeit proclamations be wrapt up in generals of religion and Law, yet the grounds of both ar condemned in particular, as our covenant with God and the generall assemblie wherof we cannot obtaine ane ratification in parliament.

That the English Navie hes now lyen this fourthnight in our Firth stopping all trade and commerce betwixt this and any other natione, taking our ships, boats, barks, their victuals, goods, geire and moneyes detaining the men both mariners and passengers or forcing them to sweare oathes contrare to our religion and lawes, 6. That manifestoes and relations of our foul conspiracies as they call them ar published to the world against us and yet never one of them suffered to be sent home to lett us know our accusations, that our estates be disponed to our tennents and our lyves subjected to all wold be rewarded for the taking them.

That albeit it be strange that ane forraigne armie after threatning our destruction shall march to our borders ready to come in upon us at their pleasure, and we who intended and professe not to send any bot defend ourselves should be discharged from the bounds so lyable to their invasion, yet to give full satisfaction in everie poynt, we ar content to stay our armies upon assurance of the present removing of the navie from our firth and armies from the borders.

That it is not lykely that matters of so great importance as is now to be treated upon can so shortly be broght to a conclusion as necessitie requyreth by interchange of letters and intercourse of mesgres etc. Cunynghame broght back the Comis- sioner his answere and tooke a new letter back with him.

Colonel Munro was in command of a force then quartered at Dumfries. Upon Munday the 27 May the Laird of Blacader, returning from my Lord Holland, desyred ane alteration of ane mitigat- ing interpretation of the letters sent to my Lord which we sett downe in some articles and sent away with Blacader. Upon Tuesday the 28 of May upon advertisement that some Englishmen had proclaimed the proclamation at Hay- mouth and Aytoun, other some had taken in Ethringtoun, and others had slaine some scores of sheepe pertaining to the Laird of Blacadder, and all had pitched their tents up and downe the water of Tweid, there was ane letter writen in to the Com- mittee of Ed' with ane commoun advertisement for the whole shyres, and ane other letter to the ministers of Ed"" to be sent to the whole presbyteries.

Wlieras it was formerly appointed that if the Kings armie should approach to the border with any great force that upon warning all should be ready upon the first call to march with what armes they could horse and foot, this is therfor to warne all that loves the good of this cause and their owne safetie to come in all haste once this week, and bring what they can of a months provision, and let the rest follow them: We shall beare them witnes, hot let none stay at home when strangers ar hyred for three shillings a week to make us all slaves, they are not worthy to be freemen that will stay at home and neglect their country, which is now ready to bleed for their neglect, some of the enemies ar come over the border, Ethringtoun is taken, Haymouth is feared to be taken this night, wher is a great magazin of victuals ; if horse and foot haste not we can hardly here hold them up ; be not wanting to yourselves, and be confident God will send ane outgate to all these difficulties: So in haste looking for all dispatch at your hands whom it alyke concernes I rest.

My Lord — Receave the generall directions to call up all the kingdome in armes, take the gentlemen of several shyres where they ar in towne and send them in post hast through all the shyres to call them all up with what armes they gett. They that comes upon this call most bring provision with them for few dayes and the rest most follow of the months provision. My Lord send a coppy of this warning, direct to you, to all the Shyres ; adde a letter of your owne to enforce the same from the Table. Reverend and Beloved in the Lord — Yee will perceave by the warning given to the Shyres what great need ther is of assembling all forces that may be had toward the borders ; we neid not make any new representation of the present danger unto you.

Ane other letter to the Earle of Argyle to that same purpose, a letter to the Earle of Marshall and to the Earle of Muntrose to stirre up the North to that same purpose, ane letter to the Laird of Blacader to complaine to my Lord Holland of these wrongs done during the treatie. Ane preceise order writen to Crowner Muntroe to march night and day to Jedburgh, ane letter to my Lord Jhonstoun to hasten all their horsmen and what foot may be spared hither, ane letter to the Earle of Louthian my Lord Ker and Sheirife of Tividaile to gather ther horse and foot together to remove their victual and cattels, and keep themselves in the feilds, ane letter to the Earle of Hume to draw his people together both horse and foot at Dunse and to bring away all victual and cattels from the border, ane letter to my Lord Dalhusie to march presently to Dumbar, Many other letters written to sundrie Noblemen both West and North to stirre them up.

This night my Lord Generall went to Coberspeth. Ar we not heere in armes ready to take part with you to the last dropp of our blood ; is not the whole kingdome obleiged to stand for yours and there owne defence, shall ye dreame to yourselves to be free of invasion of both hands. We receaved Blacaders letter anent my Lord Hollands answer, whereof the tenour is in the next page. Concerning the lambs taken at Fishwick they wer nyne and twentie of them only by some unruly souldiers, and their commanders sent to offer satisfaction either in punishment of ther bodyes or pryce of the goods, and concerning Ethring- touns house it was a vaine conceat of a idle man young West- nisbitt.

Blacader 30 May Upon Friday the 31 May in the morning we had ane alarme by sundrie bearers alledging that the whole English armie was marching to Bounce, therafter we learned the truth of it that ther was ane thousand English horse with my Lord Holland who came to Bounce in the morning to preveene the Earle of Humes conveening of the regiment of the Merse at Bounce, did ther read the proclamation and tooke away the Laird of Rentons charter kist out of the Castle of Bovnice and retired therafter home againe, We wer advertised that sundrie in the Merse had yeelded already and farr moe was to yeeld, wherupon we send the third warning or summonds to raise the country betwixt sixty and sixteen and sent it to the Committee of Ed"" to be sent to all the Shyres.

Shall our enemies be more forward for invasion against the truth and for our slaverie, then we for our defence, for the truth, and for our libertie? In end they have neither Christian nor Scottish hearts who will expose their religion, their countrie, ther neighbours and themselves to this present danger without taking part with them, and stand out for any respect under Heaven against this warning of Your assured freinds.

My Noble Lord — These ar to show you the Kings hors- men ar this morning come to Dounse, therfor in all haste haste send away this letter to the shyres with ane assured bearer. We have neither scene your horsemen, nor of any other shyre, so they may ryde wher they please without any possible im- pediment from us, We have receaved no spades, nor howes, no swyne feathers wherby we may intrinch ourselves.

Let their danger and ours both stirre up greater diligence in us all or we will all repent it ; see yesterdayes directions anent supplying us with bread and drink, obey it in haste or else we will 1 ] JOHNSTON OF WARISTON'S DIARY 51 dissolve for want of baking and brueing, and if the few people heere be cutt of for want of materiall to intrinch ourselves or dissolve for want of intertainement, or the horsmen ryde into y' bounds for want of horsemen it is not our fault who gives warning on warning bot the fault of your Lordships in Ed' and gentry in the shyres.

Sent in haste haste. At Dimglas 31 May. One M"" Tuesden putt him on this imployment. Ther came letters also from Kelso from my Lord Askin to informe of their estate. Captain Hume was sent from Munroe to shew the regiments comming to Jeddard according to former orders. Upon this ther was order sent to my Lord Louthian, to Colonell Munroe, and ane order to my Lord Phleeming that was marching thither that they should all draw together at Kelso and ther make the place fast against the English horsmen, that they should keep diligent watch and have good intelligence of the enemie that when they beganne to dislodge they might make ready also and come and march towards the armie that was lying besyd Dunglas.

Ther was another letter written to the Committee of warre in Fyfe by the Generall subscryved by my Lord Rothes Lindsay taxing ther negligence in sending out of horsmen, and suffering so many to stay at home besydes these that guarded the coast, when the necessity was so great at the border they wer ane evill example to others in sending out all betwixt sixty and sixteen that had amies. This day also ther come letters from my Lord Kircubright and others and a petition from the towne of Dumfrise com- plaineing of the taking away from them Colonel Munroe and his regiment and of laying them open and ther country to the malice of their enemies the Maxwells and their adherents at home and to the invasion of any forces from England.

This day ane English catch chased in the ship of Kirkadie unto the Scatterraw, shott sundrie peaces at her, bot was im- peded from taking her. She had twenty carrabeins, twentie paire of Franch pistoles, fourscore muskett, and nyne hundreth weght of ponder. This day ane English gentleman either really or fainedly a foole who was sent back as he came. This day the Erie of Hume came to the camp and cleared himself to the Generall from all misreports.

And therfor to intimate that whosoever disobeyes the ordinance, it shall forfeit his horse at least and hazard his lyfe to bring all our lyves thus in hazard. Coberspeth and Allhamstoks is to attend the ordinance till Sunday, on which day Waughtone and S'' Patrik most come hither to the armie, most make report of the diligence of each paroch, and the stent be made according to the number con- tained in this list, which we conjecture to be just, but ye may make it perfect and exact, and bring then the fourth pairt of the horse of ilk paroch to releave those of Coberspeth and Auldhamstoks on Sunday to remaine 48 houres till you send by turnes everie forty eight houres ane fourth part of each paroch to releive another fourth part, and everie fourth part as they come to bring the provision of victuals with them.

The Presbiterie op Dumbarr. Garvitt [Garvald], 60 60 The same day ther came ane Petition from the towne of Dumfreis to my Lord Generall desyring that Colonel Munroe with his regiment might stay still there, which is heere answered. To send out two or thrie out of everie regiment to the severall quarters of the country to asist the Commissars in taking up of victuall, balking and brueing and sending it in to the generall proviant master that he may charge it in his bookes and distribute the same conforme to the proportions efter specified viz. Item that ane list of the number of everie regiment be given to the generall proviant master that he may distribute the bread and drink accordingly to ane quartermaster in everie regiment, who shall keepe compt and give his note to the said generall proviant master.

Item that the souldiers bring back the towne barrels and puncheons, otherwyse they shall pay the triple of the pryce of them, and deliver them to the sayd proviant master at the place of the magazine. The quarters of the countrie wher the regiments shall take paines are as followes, viz. The whole provision most be direct to the general proviant master and booked in his bookes. That everie Colonell or gentleman who lies charge of the horse troupes give up ane list of the number of everie troupe that they may be quartered and corne and straw provyded for them.

That everie horse troupe be appointed to carry their owne corne and straw from such places as the Commissars shall desyne. It is thoght fitt that everie man give in his silver and gold work to the coine house to be striken in money for supplying of the present urgent necessity in entertaining the armie. Item that any who hes money to lend be dealt withall for it upon any kynd of securitie they please. And if they refuse, to be reputed as men careles of religion and liberties of the country and ther moneyes to be confiscate. It is recommended to the Erie of Rothes that he represent to the Committee at Ed' and Provest and Bailzeis there the extreme necessity to have money answerd for payment of the armie, and therfor to use all possible meanes to lift it and coyne all silver work.

Item to advertise all noblemen, gentlemen and burgesse and others to send in their whole silver work to the coyne house with all expeditione. Itein whatever money is presently ready to cause send it out with all haste. Item to cause send ane CoiTiissare to Kelso with all haste for furnishing the regiments who are there, if spades and howes be not sent shortly we may smart for want of them. This day S'' Jhon Stewart of Caudinghame came to Aytoun and Caudinghame to read the proclamation but could not gett the people gathered againe, therafter he came to Hay mouth, railed upon the minister who had red in the kirk to the people the warning from the armie, and against the Laird of Wetherburne, tooke their dinner in the streete, drank their fill of wyne and aile without paying anything for it, brake ane honest man's head because he refused to bring them intelli- gence, threatned to returne and take all their victuals, to hang ther minister over the jockstooles if he did not preach for the proclamation.

I pray God, and doe certainely expect in despyte of the devill and all our straites yet to have occasion really to give out ane extract of this instrument. This night also we sent a party of two hundreth musketers and two hundreth horsemen to Caudinghame for to preveene Jhon Stewarts taking away of the victuals there bot they saw no body, as upon the Fryday at night befor a partie had gone out and broght in a hundreth holies.

Robert Meldrum and I being with my Lord Generall dis- coursed two houres upon the present difficulties and impossi- bilities wherwith the Generall was extreamly perplexed, was broght low befor God indeid, and acknowledged ther was no appearance of any naturall meane or ordinarie way either of our conveening or subsisting together remaining or retiring 62 JOHNSTON OF WARISTON'S DIARY [june or going on for want of victuals, money and horses especially, and that we had no ground of confidence except in the provi- dence of our God who had led us in thir straites and certainly contrare to all appearance was to lead us out of them, thus the Lord was emptying everie heart and annihilating everie spirit, for to prepare us as we hope to receave some greater subsequent blinks of his favour.

This afternoone we did wryte in to the Committee of Ed"" and other shyres ane new letter. Noble Lords and worthie Gentlemen — We found it necessarie to tell you that we ar to remove this night from this place toward Dunse, upon information of the march of the English forces, foot horses and ten peices of great ordinance, to Kelso this morning, upon the repulse they received yesternight there, And having told you so much we think not onlie your selves bot all others who shall heare and beleive what we ar now doing on both sydes, will easilie determine what is incumbent for you and them to doe in this extremitie: All possible advertisements have beene given already: The sword was drawne befor, now it is at the throat of religion and libertie if it have not given a deepe wound already ; we might say, upon confidence of ane extraordinarie providence in this extraordinarie exigent, that God shall provyde, if the Lord had not putt power in our owne hands which might give a re-en- counter to our enemies.

Bot our unexcusable fault is that the power committed to us we have not used although we have sworne and subscryved to do it. It wold seeme that people ar either rewing what they have beene doing and will subject their necks to spiritual 1 and bodily slaverie that they and their posterity may be desperatly miserable heere and for ever which we ar loath to conceave or that some Spirit of slumber hath overtaken and possessed them, which maketh them to think that the fyre is not kindled when the flame may be scene and all is in a burning: Your loving fueixds Dunglas 4 June Let coppies of this goe to all places with your advertise- ments Upon Wedensday the 5 of June the armie marched from Dunglas, when the canon wer drawne over the passe, the armie was drawne up in the moore befor Allhamstoks, and after prayers said through all the regiments, some Troupes of horse four hundreth commanded musketers, four peice of small Canon wer sent out in a partie befor and the Generall went with them ; as he was upon his march he receaved word from my Lord Louthian that he was to obey the orders, that he hoped to be at Dunse that fornoone or die be the gate.

Adam Hebroun spake with the Erie of Haddingtoun, and about eight a clock Robin Leslie came to the Generall, all running to one purpose that we wold supplicat the King to appoint ane present conference betwixt some of the English and some of ours, and to intreat the English Councell and nobility to asist our Supplication. The last of our advertisements was so peremptor, inviteing to come to the buriall of these who were like to be deserted, that the hyperbolies of Meldrum, the Secretar, did offend manie.

He wrote that the fear of an attack by the Scots made the English army anxious to conclude a treaty. Robin Leslie one of the old pages, being come over to Dunce Castle, made, as it were, out of his own head, ane overture that we should be pleased yet to supplicate. About eleven a clock at night upon some watcher shooting his muskett or pistole the alarm went through the whole armie and the whole souldiers in an instant with a Avonderfull speed and resolution wer in armes and in order, some dancing, some singing psalmes. It was remembered also that both his Ma"'' Councell and Senatours of the Colledg of Justice being divers tymes since conveened had testified tlieir dislyke therof.

And that his Maj will now be pleased to send a gracious answer to ther humble Supplication sent by my Lord Dumferling. Balcanqual, Dean of Durham. He was a Roman Catholic. In speciall to desyre first that the late generall assemblie holden at Glasgow be approven in the next parliament, and all the generall printed acts therof ratified expreslie et specifice.

That as we tooke not up first armes and now hes them but only for our owne defence so not onlie they who threatned invasion most lay them first doune, Bot also both the King and the English must give us assurance that heerafter they will not invade or wrong us any maner of way, 5. That the only way both of preserving the Kings honour and for assuring the people of his reall intentions of peace is to punish ignominiouslie and exemplarlie those firebrands who by their misinformations hes broght him to this extremitie against his people, doe declare his former manifestoes and proclamations to have proceided from their misinformation And therfor to recall and repeale and punish the misinformers.

And seeing in his owne absence by his under officers many disorders ar comitted, for remedie stata parliamenta once in two or three yeares be keiped. That the King giving assurance now to doe thir or such lyke things in parliament and making some declaration in that kynd, both the armies may be dismissed, the castles put in some moderate mans hand in keiping till the parliament have ended all, and then the King with honour and safetie may come in a peacable way. That heerafter the castles may be putt in the custodie of any the Kmg and Estates shall name according to the old custome of this Kingdome.

That no stranger lest of all any forraigne prelate meddle with the affaires of our Kirk, nor forraigne statesman with the affaires of our estate, bot that we may be governed by our owne church men and statesmen in lawfidl judicatories ecclesiasticall and civile respective. To remember first to cleare the mistaking of the English That ye have neither published nor acknowledged the proclama- tion, And if they ground their treatie upon that proclamation and your acknowledgment y'"of, to carrie yourself as becommes your cause and covenant for religion croune and country.

To show that this church is als free and als independent as any other and is no more lyable to give ane account of our actions to them nor they unto us. Yet of super- abundance we offer them all satisfaction in reason. To show that nationall commotions either in Church or State can only be tryed in nationall judicatories of kirk and kingdome, as in generall assemblies and parliaments, so that heere this bussines cannot be decided.

I can assure you, that the forme ' of Parliament there is nothing inclined to popularitie. Onely such Bills as ' I allow of are put into the Chancellor's hands to bee propounded to the Parlia- ' ment, and none others ; and if any man in Parliament speake of any other matter ' ihen is in this forme first allowed by me. The Chancellor tells him there is no such ' Bill allowed by the King. And if there bee anything that I dislike, they rase it out before.

Remember whether warre or peace follow, your cariage in this act will be remarkable in historic, and let it never be said of you as yourselves hes many tymes said of some nobles in the land, and that when the[y] parlied anent the tithes and the revocation that everie one looked so to his owne particular accomodation of the King as everie one betrayed another and all betrayed the publick. Upon Thursday the 13 of June in the morning we went over to the English Camp, to the Lord Arundel's tent pre- sented unto the King the grounds of our desyres.

Thereafter we fell under dispute of the independancie of the assemblie from the pari, in maters ecclesiasticall, as of the pari, from the assemblie in maters civile, with this difference only, that the King or pari, might call the assemblie, bot the assemblie could not call the parliament. The King urged that no ecclesiastick constitution could have force till it was ratified in pari: See Protestation in Large Declaration, ei seq. The Marquess of Hamiltoun his declaration was produced and the Bishops decHnatour, the one shewing that Bishops ar of apo- stohck Institution the other that they are of Christs Institution.

Their hearing of the prelats and their adherents at home to man- taine in schooles and preach in pulpits many Armenian and popish tenets. He discussed it in answering Dr. Balcanqual at the Glasgow Assembly. See Peterkin's Records, See also Large Declaration, Upon Friday the 14 of June we drew up an answer in write to the said querees, to be presented to the King the day following.

To all which we answer first that it is proper for the generall assemblie itself to determine questions of this kynd, and it wer usurpation in us, which might bring upon us the just censure of the general assemblie, to give out a determina- tion. Because God hath given power to the Kirk to conveine, The Sonne of God hath promised his assistance to them being conveined, and the Christian Kirk hath in all ages used this as the ordinarie and necessarie meane for uniforme establishing of religion and pietie, and for removing the evils of heresie scandals and others of that kynd which must be, and wold bring the Kirk to be no more, if by this powerful remedie they wer not cured and prevented.

The Kirk of Scotland hath declared that all ecclesiasticall assemblies have power to conveine lawfully together for treating of things concerning the Kirk and pertaining to their charge and to appoint tymes and places to that effect. And for settling the present dis- tractions of that our ancient Kingdome our will and pleasure is that a free generall assemblie be keept at Ed'' the day of next ensuing wher we intend God willing to be personally present, and for the legall indiction wherof we have given order and command to our Councell, and therafter a pari, to be holden at Ed"" the day of next ensuing for ratifying of what shalbe concluded in the said assemblie, and settling such other things as may conduce to the peace and good of our native Kingdome and therin ane act of pardon and oblivion to be passed.

So we take God and the World to witnesse that whatsoever calamities shall ensue by our necessitated suppressing the insolencies of such as shall still continue in their disobedient courses, it is not occasioned by us bot by their own procurement. After we had privatly advysed, we objected against the narrative and against the conclusion whilk after long dispute the king would not change.

The king answered that the devill himself could not make a more uncharitable construction or give a more bitter expression. When we rose, he gave to everie one of us a kisse of his hand bidding me walk more circumspectly in tyme comming. He lilcewise was the more enamoured with us, especialie with Henderson and Lowdoun.

And the parlia- ment to be called once in three yeares or oftner as the affaires of the kingdome shall require. This fornoone at two severall tymes q" I begouth to speake the king absolutely commanded me silence. We heard the Lord Chamerlaine say that this was the true state of the question, whether the two kingdomes should presently yock and by their yocking the king hasard the losse of both.

So we take God and the World to witnesse that whatsoever calamities shall ensue by our necessitated suppressing the insolencies of such as shall still continue in their disobedient courses, it is not occasioned by us bot by their owne procurement. Ther shall be no meitings, treatings, convocations or consultations of our Leiges, Bot such as ar warrantable by Act of Parliament.

He condescended that the fortifications of Leith should be disponed by the towne of Ed'' at their pleasure, and to write a letter to the said towne for preparing a place to the assemblie. Upon Wednesday the 19 of June we had sundrie disputs anent our making or not making our declaration q" the king published his. Upon Friday the 21 of June we came to Ed' wher we found many greived with our proceidings. The practice of taking instruments is now confined for the most part to Church Courts in Scotland, as in the case where a member, who protests against a resolution of the majority of the Court, wishes to preserve evidence of his pro- test by obtaining from the clerk of the Court an authoritative extract of the Court's minute embodying it.

He ' takes instruments' by handing to the clerk a coin usually a shilling , in token probably of his readiness to pay the cost of the extract of the minute which he asks the Court to grant him. What follows seems to refer to the next year, The armie was lying in Choulslie wood full of all sort of vans of meitt, drink, money, horsemen, baggage horse, canone horse etc. Upon the 3 of August at a frequent meitting of the Comittie Nobilitie Barrones and officers of the armie after prayer and reassoneing our voyage to England was unanimouslie resolved, and the intentiones of the army redd approvine and divulget and some sent away both for intelligence and spreading of same.

The tennor of the Ire followis: Upon the 8 they mett with the baillies of Edg' and sent the elders and the deacons through the bruche, who on that day and Monoday following gottine thrie thousand pair of scheits to the souldears tents. This is Gods work and wonderfull in our eyes qlk requires remembrance, thankfulness, and dependence on God in new difficulties. This day the Erie of Argyle returned to Edg' and the Erie of Rothes to the Camp wheron the haill army was mustered and sworne to the military Articles, to the great contentment of the generall officeris.

They deal with a controversy which created some stir in Scotland in the year In that year, proceed- ings were taken before the Privy Council by John Keith, first Earl of Kintore, against Sir William Ogilvie of Barras and his son, in respect of a pamphlet published by them in , entitled ' A True Account of the Preservation of the Regalia of ' Scotland, viz. The compilers of that volume, however, seem to have had access chiefly to papers upon Ogilvie's side of the controversy.

Some of them were produc- tions in the proceedings before the Privy Council, and were afterwards by authority returned to Lord Kintore. The con- troversy was one of long standing. It began immediately after the Restoration. One of these papers, entitled ' Baress alledg- ances ansred,' is dated 8th November ; another, entitled ' Ane True Accompt of the Preservation of the Honours,' is undated, but is evidently a direct answer to Ogilvie''s pam- phlet, which, as already mentioned, was published in The legal proceedings resulted in a decreet of the Privy Council, which ordered the fining and imprisonment of Ogilvie, and the burning of his pamphlet by the common hangman.

The account of the siege of Dunnottar Castle and the pre- servation of the Honours has been told before. It may be well, however, in order to explain the meaning of these letters, to give again an outline of the story, more especially as one or two details which bear upon the Kintore-Ogilvie controversy have been omitted from the earlier accounts. The coronation was followed by the invasion of Scotland by Cromwell's troops, and Charles, instead of meeting Cromwell here, determined on his expedition into England, which ended so disastrously at Worcester.

It was thought necessary, therefore, to take measures to ensure the safety, during the King's absence, of the emblems of Scottish royalty. Accordingly, on the 6th of June, the day Parliament rose, the Honours were handed over by Parliament to the Earl Marischal, whose hereditary privilege it was to have their custody during the sitting of Parliament. He was instructed to transport them to Dunnottar, ' thair to be keepit by him till farther ordouris. This seems to have been practically the whole garrison at Ogilvie's command, and it was all too small to provide for the proper defence of the castle.

Several times in the course of the siege which followed, Ogilvie appealed for more men, and several times he complained that nothing was done to supply him with money or provisions, and that conse- quently the whole cost of the maintenance of the castle fell upon the Earl MarischaPs estate and upon himself It appears that during some part of the time of Ogilvie's command, John Keith, the youngest brother of the Earl Marischal, who was then quite young, was with him in the castle.

Finding that he was to be carried to London, the Earl contrived to send a messenger to his mother, the Dowager Countess Marischal, bearing to her the key of the secret place in which the Honours lay hid. She took the Honours from their hiding-place and gave them to Ogilvie, strictly charging him to do his utmost to secure their safety. A few days after- wards the siege of the castle began, and soon developed into a blockade. Twice did Ogilvie receive a message from the Committee of Estates, once, before the siege began, from Aberdeen, and once, in September, from ' West end Lochtay,' demanding the Honours, that they might be removed to a place of greater safety in the Highlands.

It was afterwards maintained by Lord Kintore that Ogilvie was afraid to disobey the Committee's orders, and that it was only upon his urgent advice and per- suasion that they were retained in Dunnottar. To each summons he returned a spirited refusal. At this time only four strongholds outside the Highlands — Dunnottar, Dumbarton, Brodick, and the Bass Rock — held out for King Charles against the army of the Commonwealth.

He was probably the bearer of a letter which Ogilvie wrote to the King on the 20th December, suggesting that the castle might be relieved by sea. Charles was very anxious to relieve the castle, in which, besides the Honours, there was much valuable plate and furniture belonging to him, and he commissioned Major-General Vandruske to attempt its relief; but lack of money prevented Vandruske from obtaining a ship and the necessary means of succour, and Dunnottar had fallen before he was ready to start.

Worse than all, there were murmur- ings of mutiny among the defenders, and Ogilvie was compelled to drive one of the ringleaders from the castle. It was not till fifteen months afterwards, when Mrs. Ogilvie was on her deathbed, that she confided to her husband the secret of their hiding-place. The person whom she took into her confidence was Mrs. Grainger, wife of the Reverend James Grainger, minister of the neighbouring parish of Kinneff,and the two ladies between them concocted a scheme for the removal of the Honours.

One day, early in March, Mrs. Grainger and her maid went to Stone- haven on some ordinary housekeeping business. Amongst other things which she brought back with her were some bundles of flax, which were carried by the maid. On her way home she passed Dunnottar, and obtained permission from the English officer to visit her friend Mrs. The visit was paid, and in due course Mrs. Grainger left the castle and returned to the manse at Kinneff.

But she took with her the Honours. It is said that she carried the crown in her lap, and that she was seriously inconvenienced by the courtesy of the English officer, who assisted her to mount her horse, and conducted her through the English lines. For this part of the adventure there is unfortunately no corroboration in the pub- lished documents.

It is more likely that the crown was transported, as the sceptre and sword were, in the bundle of flax which the maid carried. The journey was made out with- out suspicion being aroused, and the Honours reached the Kinneff manse in safety. They were then handed over to the minister, who concealed them at first, it is said, in the bottom of a bed at the manse, and afterwards secretly buried them under the pavement of the church.

At the end of March, he went and informed the Countess Marischal of the removal of the Honours, and she took a receipt from him, acknowledging that they were in his custody, and stating the exact places in which they were buried. On the 24th May the castle was surrendered to the English upon honourable terms — the last post held for King Charles. The Earl did not at the time know that the Honours were safe, but the Governor, though he did not know exactly what had become of them, probably had a shrewd idea that the English would not find them in Dunnottar.

One of the articles of capitulation was that the Honours should be delivered up or a good account given of them, and the English were much disappointed to find that they had been baulked of their prey. When they were interrogated on the subject, the Ogilvies gave out that John Keith had taken the Honours from Dunnottar to Paris, and had there given them to the King.

They had no satisfactory evidence of this, however, to produce, though Mrs. Ogilvie ' contrived a missive letter," which she arranged should fall into the hands of the English, purporting to be from John Keith, acknowledging the carrying away of the Honours.
