The Coppy of a Letter sent by the last Post from a knowing Gentleman ( ex ordine Observantium ) now scouting amongst the Scots , to a Friend of his in LONDON . Briefly intimating that Omne malum ab Aquilone still , and that the present rising of the winds in that Country , is like to revive future Stormes in our own . Kind Sir ,

I Thanke you for yours of the 5th. of Aprill , though I am troubled to find by it the distempers of England , which indeed ( with griefe I speak it ) are parallell'd here . The Parliament hath deserted the Clergie , refuses all conference with them , have this day resolved breaches upon ever branch of the Covenant , and immediatelie are to put themselves into a posture of defence ( but it is thought ) on purpose to enter England with 40000 men to redeeme the King ( as they call it ) and re-establish the Covenant . But what most troubles , is , they receive the first and great Adversaries of Peace and Religion , the Cavaliers converse and communicate Counsels with them , desire their assistance , and doubtlesse will raise great bodies of men in the North of England , the whole Northern quarter being nothing els but a masse of Malignancy . Our Commissioners are and have been active to suppresse this rising monster , both by reason and reward , but now almost despaire the effect ; Pray God they may not be prejudiced in their returne , for they meet not with respect due to their qualities . Nothing remaines to confirme this bad worke , but choice of Officers , which to morrow will be done ( they say . ) Good David Lesley is almost mad to see his Army desert him and his Petition , to follow the Idoll of a King . Argile and his Confederates stand stiffe to Gods cause , our Religion and Countries good , but are all overswayed by the Power and Faction of Hamilton . Balmerinoth this day voted a War to redeem the King , to the great wonder of others , he having till now been a faithfull labourer in Gods Vineyard ; The effect of all this will doubtlesse appeare in England , and suddenly . God strengthen you and all good men to oppose such Invasions , which is the Prayer of your most affectionate friend and servant .

Edinburgh , Aprill 11. 1648. Concordat cum Originali .
