 horse to proclaime the king's proclamacon, which the Scotts 

 would not hei'etofore give way should bee proclaimed, and this 

 was proclaimed at Dunce on Monday the 3 of June but 

 most of the inhabitants of best quality, seeing such a power 

 comming, were retyred further into the country, and those 

 that were left, for feare, received it with acclamacons of 

 joy and their prayers for the king. This gave a great alarm 

 into the countrey.

 others of our troupe) the king's pavilion, and wee kept our 

 court of guard about a stone's cast of one the edge of the banck 

 over the river, from whence by turnes wee were taken, two 

 at a time, to waite in the privy chamber, with each of us a 

 pistoll ready spanned and cocked, for an houre. In the morn- 

 ing wee waited on the king whithersoever hee rode. That
