The interview and meeting of the two Queens delayed till the next year. Our Sovereign took purpose to visit the North, and departed from Stirling in the month of August; whether there was any paction and confederacy betwixt the Papists of the South, and the Earle of Huntly and his Papists in the North (or to speak more plainly) betwixt the Queen her Self, and Huntly: We cannot certainly affirm, But the suspicions were wondrous vehement, that there was no good will borne to the Earle of Murray, nor yet to such as depended upon him, at that time. The History we shall faithfully declare, and so leave the judgement free to the Readers.

That John Gordon broke the Prison, we have already heard, who immediately repaired to his Father George, Earle of Huntly; and understanding the Queens coming, made great provision in Strabogie, and in other parts, as it were to receive the Queen. At Aberdeen, the Queen and Court, remained certain days to deliberate upon the Affairs of the Country, where some began to smell, that the Earle of Huntly was privately gathering men, as hereafter shall be declared.
