           Whereupon
           Sir

           entreated
           him

           thereafter
           it

           his

           asked
           where
           he
           had
           been
           ,
           and
           why
           he
           did

           he
           answered
           that
           he
           did
           not
           conceive
           the
           greatest
           danger

           afterwards
           upon

           ,
           the
           necessity
           of
           thinking
           upon
           a
           Treaty
           ,
           in

           Souldiours
           long
           and
           wearisome
           marches

           their
           horses
           tired

           if
           he

           would
           condescend
           unto
           ,
           they
           put
           no
           question
           but
           the
           Duke
           would
           likewise
           ,
           but
           he
           absolutely
           refused
           to
           hear
           of
           it
           ,

           Horse
           with

           place
           where
           they
           might
           be
           in
           safety
           to
           refresh

           him
           ,
           but
           Calander
           answered
           that
           he
           had
           not
           used
           to
           give
           any
           orders
           where
           his
           Grace
           was
           ,
           but
           such
           as
           he
           receaved
           from
           him
           ,
           there
           it
           was
           debated
           what
           was
           next
           to
           be
           done
           ,
           But
           then
           Sir
           Marmaduck
           shew
           the
           necessity
           of
           his
           
           marching
           when
           it
           was
           propounded
           to
           Capitulate
           ,
           and
           that
           hee
           could
           expect
           no
           quarter
           ,
           Calander
           also
           declared
           plainly
           that
           upon
           no
           tearms
           hee
           would
           consent
           to
           a
           Capitulation
           ,
           but
           such
           Troupes
           or

           would
           march
           with
           him
           he
           would
           undergo
           the
           same
           hazard
           with
           Sir
           Marmaduck
           ,
           and
           they
           might
           follow
           him
           ,

           the
           Duke
           hearing
           ,
           said
           that
           he
           would
           not
           stay
           behind
           ,
           and
           therewith
           Sir
           Marmaduck
           and
           Calander
           went
           to
           horse
           ,
           and
           gave
           order
           to
           the
           Troupes
           to
           draw
           out
           to
           a
           hill
           ,
           about
           half
           a
           mile
           on
           the
           other
           side
           of
           the
           Town
           beyond
           the
           River
           ,
           yet
           it
           was
           long
           before
           any
           considerable
           number
           came
           to
           the
           place
           ,
           and
           Sir
           Marmaduck
           sending
           to
           Calander
           ,
           to
           know
           if
           he
           was
           ready
           ,
           my
           Lord
           desired
           him
           to
           have
           a
           little
           patience
           ,
           but
           he
           sent
           him
           back
           word
           that
           the
           day
           was
           well
           advanced
           ,
           and
           hee
           was
           to
           have
           a
           long
           march
           he
           could
           not
           ,
           and
           so
           marched
           away
           ,
           which
           Calander
           seeing
           spoke
           to
           the
           Officers
           and
           Souldiours
           ,
           willing
           them
           to
           repair
           to
           their
           standards
           in
           order
           ,
           but
           none
           almost
           or
           very
           few
           did
           ,
           though
           he
           assured
           them
           that
           he
           would
           die
           with
           his
           armes
           in
           his
           hand
           ,
           after
           such
           misfortune
           ,
           rather
           then
           Capitulate
           ,
           yet
           what
           ever
           he
           said
           ,
           was
           little
           regarded
           ,
           and
           because
           the
           Duke
           was
           absent
           no
           man
           obeyed
           ,
           at
           last
           he
           told
           them
           ,
           that
           such
           as
           had
           a
           minde
           to
           show
           themselves
           men
           ,
           for
           the
           credit
           of
           their
           Countrey
           ,
           might
           march
           along
           with
           him
           ,
           and
           those
           that
           were
           ill
           mounted
           and
           had
           a
           minde
           to
           treat
           ,
           might
           stay
           with
           the
           Duke
           ,
           but
           few
           offered
           to
           stirre
           ,
           so
           that
           he
           rode
           after
           Sir
           Marmaduck
           alone
           ,
           to
           show
           him
           how
           things
           stood
           ,
           and
           take
           leave
           of
           him
           ,
           comming
           back
           he
           found
           some
           Officers
           sent
           from
           the
           Duke

           return
           for
           consultation
           ,
           and
           the
           Duke
           gave
           order
           that
           a
           partie
           should
           be
           sent
           back
           to
           Utoxater
           ,
           whither
           the
           Army
           might
           return
           ,
           and
           there
           deliberate
           of
           what
           should
           be
           done
           ,
           to
           that
           effect
           the
           Lord
           Levinstoun
           was
           sent
           ,
           and
           Calander
           visited
           all
           the
           avenues
           and
           barricaded
           them
           ,
           posing
           guards
           every where
           ,
           then
           orders
           beeing
           given
           ,
           for

           Officers
           to
           repair
           to
           the
           Duke
           ,
           Hee
           then
           desired
           Calander
           to
           go
           and
           advise
           with
           them
           what
           was
           most
           expedient
           ,
           thereupon
           Calander
           asked
           him
           
           whither
           to
           march
           ,
           or
           to
           fight
           ,
           he
           was
           ready
           to
           obey
           ,
           but
           if
           it
           were
           to
           Capitulate
           he
           absolutely
           disclamed
           it
           ,
           and
           so
           went
           to
           his
           quarter
           ,
           where
           he
           instantly
           gave
           order
           to
           the

           back
           ,
           the
           Duke
           told
           him
           they

           but
           Calander
           replyed

           but
           rather

           some

           which
           certainly
           was
           not
           done
           without
           the
           knowledge
           of

           went
           out
           to
           speak
           to
           them

           they

           not

           well
           instructed

           but
           that
           he

           upon
           no
           condition
           Capitulate
           ,
           choosing
           rather
           to
           run
           the
           uttermost
           hazard

           a
           little
           satisfied

           so
           he
