LETTERS FROM Edinborough.  
Upon the 25. day of Novemb. ●●41. there was a great and solemn Fast: insomuch that those who did abhor to keep it. were to suffer the penalty of Excommunication.  
The Churches were well filled, and the best Teachers which were to be had preached upon that day: to the comfort and stirring up of those which were the Audience to Piety, and true Religion.  
But as it hath been commonly known, that when the best things are in agitation, then are the wicked most inflamed to work mischief. So it proved then, as shall now appear: for at that present time▪ when most devotion was used, than did a company of Frenchmen raise a most horrid commotion.  
In the Market place of Edinborough, where Commonly Farmers leave their corn which they do not sell upon one Market day for the next market, there did these traitors gather themselves together, and about ten of the clock before noon they resolved all together to fire those chambers, where in all manner of corn and provision was left, that thereby the place might come to the more need and want: and consequently, that a dearth might presently ensue.  
Fire they did set unto those places of the market, which would soonest take, which did flame out after an extraordinary manner. Then did these Frenchmen go crying up and down, Fire, fire, to the great amazement of all those which were gathered together at Kirk: but God which will not suffer treachery to lie hid, revealed their damnable intents, thus.  
There were certain strangers travelling that way, which did see them when they were about their hellish enterprises: and as they were crying, fire, fire, they did lay hold on them, and as the multitude came to quench the flaming market, they wondered why those Frenchmen were laid hold on.  
Then did the strangers relate unto them the whole matter, how that whatsoever was there done, was acted by the treacherous Frenchmen, who were presently committed to the custody of Officers: and being examined they answered, that had their purpose taken full effect, it had been the best deed which in many years had been done in Edinborough, they said the people being heretics, would have had a good fire to warm them by, after that their rites had been celebrated.  
The Frenchmen which were about the number of twelve, are at this time in the Castle of Edinborough, and wait for their judgement, which will be, according as all traitor's merit, a rope to hang them, and good sharp knives to quarter them.  
That part of the Market pla●e, which did so violently flame, was by hooks pulled down: much corn there was burnt, but the greater part was saved.   

From Newcastle the 28. day of November, 1641.  
THE Major of Newcastle with the Aldermen his Brethren rid to visit on horseback the coalpits, as their Office is to do every quartrer of year, where by the way he was shot with a Dag into the arm, which caused him to fall off his horse, and with the fall bruised his body more, and doth at this time lie very weak, scarce any hope being of life.  
He being sent home in a Coach, the Aldermen continued riding: but at length there did fall four of them in a pit, which was not to be perceived before they did fall: but being in, one of them was drowned, and the other three in great danger of losing their lives, to the great grief of the whole town: but those which were the plotters of so great villainy, are not to be found; yet some are taken upon suspicion, but there is no certainty whither they be the men▪   

Cruelty used in the County of Monnoham upon a Lady  
THe Rebels coming into the aforenamed County, came unto the hose of a religious and upright Protestant, which was a Lady, and brought with them an impudent quean, who came into the Lady's house, which did descend of a noble house, and told her that she must presently change apparel with her, or else she should surely be put to death: the good Lady to save her life, parted with her garments, and put on those of the Rebels, and so went away to the city of Dublin, where she was entertained kindly.   

Of a worthy Divine which was hanged by the Rebels.  
IN the same county came the Rebels to the house of a religious Minister: and because he would not yield to their Religion, they haled him out of his house, and in a most cruel manner hanged him; although for his dear wife, and tender babes sake, he did entreat them to spare his life: yet had they no remorse, but carried him to the house of Sir Philip Moneale, and there hanged him upon a pinetree.   

From Dublin the 29. of October, 1641.  
THe Rebels had news in some parts of Ireland, that the Earl of Tyrone was come from Spain, and arrived at Montoham. Wherefore they gathered themselves together at Annera, & took counsel how they might congratulate the love of the renowned Earl of Tyrone (as they termed him.) It was agreed upon by that arch-rebel Sir Hugh Oneale, that he should be entertained by them all, according as their riches would permit them.  
Which they did, and being in Annera the Earl of Tyrone counselled them speedily to be siege Dublin, which two days after they did, and stopped the passage of the water there. But notwithstanding the Protestants did beat them back; and took the Earl of Tyrone prisoner: but it was the Rebels chance also to take the good Lord Moor, wherefore one was released for the other.  
After that the rebels departed into the woods and were (as the Protestaats thought) surrounded and compassed about, but they knowing of the woods got the better; then the rebels issued out of unknown places, and unawares gave the Protestants a great overthrow: until the Companies of the Lord Moor marched up, than they were put to flight.
