After commendations, We have received your Letter of Edinburgh, the 19 of this instant, which appeareth to us, rather to have come from a Prince to his Subjects, then from Subjects to them that bear authority. For answer whereof, we have presently directed unto you this Bearer, Lion Herald King of Arms, sufficiently instructed with our mind, to whom ye shall give credence. At Leith, Octob. 21. 1559. Sic subscribitur. Mary R.

His Credit is this. 1That the Queen wonders how any durst presume to command her in that Realm, which needeth not to be Conquest by any force, considering that it was already Conquest by Marriage. That French-men could not justly be called strangers, seeing that they were Naturalized; and therefore that she would neither make that Town patent, neither yet send any man away, but as she thought expedient. She accused the Duke of violating his promise. She made long Protestation of her love towards the Common-wealth of Scotland, and in the end commanded, That under the pain of Treason all assistants to the Duke and unto us, should depart from the Town of Edinburgh.
