§ 25. Some suspected that many of the Nobility of England did secretly Confederate with the Scots, so far as to encourage them to come into England; thinking that there was no other way to cause the Calling of a Parliament, which was the thing that now they bent their minds to as the Remedy of these things. The Earl of Essex, the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Bedford, the Earl of Clare, the Earl of Bullingbrook, the Earl of Mulgrave, the Earl of Holland, the Lord Say, the Lord Brook, and I know not how many more, were said to be of this Confederacy. But Heylin himself hath more truly given you the History of this, That the Scots, after they came in, did persuade these Men of their own danger in England, if Arbitrary Government went on, and so they petitioned the King for a Parliament, which was all their Confederacy; and this was after their second Coming into England.

The Scots came with an Army, and the King's Army met them near Newcastle; 1but the Scots came on till an Agreement was made, and a Parliament called; and the Scots went home again.
