The Earle of Athole, immediately after the murder of the King, had tetired home, waiting for the occasion to revenge the Kings death: But seeing this abominable Marriage, he went to Stirling, where other honest Lords with him had a Meeting, and made a Bond, To defend the young Prince from the murderers of his father: As already they had had one Plot to cut him off, which God in his mercy did prevent. The Nobles that entered in this Bond, were the Earls of Argyle, Athole, Morton, Mar, and Glencarne; the Lords Lindsey and Boyd. Argyle thereafter, seduced by some fair words, fell off; and Boyd became a great Factionary for Bothwell in all things.

The Queen, soon after the Marriage, was advised to send abroad an Ambassador to acquaint her foreign friends and kindred; And this must be a Bishop: It is pity that any good work should be done without a Bishop: Was not this a worthy employment for a Pastor in Gods Church?
