Bothwell seeing the Bond made at Stirling, causeth the Queen to write to sundry of the Nobility: Divers repaired unto her, where they found a Bond tendered unto them, by which they were to bind themselves to defend the Queen and Bothwell. Some that were corrupt, did willingly subscribe; others for fear did the same: And there was not one that went to Court that did refuse, but the Earle of Murray; who refusing absolutely to enter into a Bond with Bothwell, said, It was not the part of a good subject; Yet since he had been made friends with him some time before, he would keep his promise unto the Queen: And to enter into a Bond with the Queen, it was needless and unfit, since he was to obey her in all lawful and just things. Upon this, he gat leave, although with great difficulty, to go into France.
