A FULL RELATION OF THE SCOTS MARCH FROM BARWICK TO Newcastle:  
THere is no cause why we sholud conceive that our brethren of Scotland have delayed in any wise their coming, though they have not been here so soon as some expected, but rather that we should give God praise for their so soon and speedy march.  
First, Considering the great Army which they have raised, and provision for them, which to be done orderly, and by the brotherly assistance of that whole Kingdom, is a great work and asketh long time.  
Secondly, Because they are not only aiding and assisting unto us, but also to our brethren of Ireland, who are brought to a very low and most miserable condition, in somuch that information from thence have certified the Kirke of Scotland that 200 at the least of the Scots are starved to death in Ireland for want.  
Thirdly, Their chief Ingenier hath form a new kind of great guns, never before discovered, which were made purposely for this design, above three quarters of a yard long, or some a yard, that will carry a twelve pound bullet, to do good execution at a good distance, and yet so framed that a horse may carry one of them, all which took up a great deal of time.  
Yet nevertheless, blessed be God, they are now come into England, their number being 18000 foot 3000 horse, and between 4 and 500 Dragoneers, and they bring along with them 120 great guns, and other train of Ammunition, very full and large, which came to Barwick by Sea, and there met the Army in a convenient time, and was prepared ready for them in their march.  
On Tuesday the 18 of January last they marched to Barwick, and that day was a sore day to them, by reason of great storms and suow, that fell all the day long, and yet such was their valiant resolutions and desire of expedition, that they came 18 Scotch miles that day to reach Barwick, which is at the least as much as 23 or 24 of our miles here.  
They billeted about Barwick that night, and there received their train of Artllerie, which they neglected not, though after so long and weariesome a day's journey, and the next day, being January the 19 they marchèd out of Barwick one Regiment after another, as conveniently as they could obtain fit quarter in those parts.  
Our brethren of Scotland brought along with them printed Declarations of the Kingdom of Scotland, for information and satisfaction to their brothers of England, concerning their presenr expedition, viz.  
Whereas the greatest Questions that are like to arise in this business may be reduced to these three particulars, viz. The justness of our cause: The lawfulness of our calling thereto: And The faithfulness of our carriages therein: our brethren of Scotland will hereby endeavour to give satisfaction in them all and doubt not to do it, unless there remain some, whose inveterate malice hath produced in them a resolution to be unsatisfied.  
This their Declaration gave the country so good satisfaction, that they found no opposition, and they do carry themselves so civil and well, and without offering the least wrong to any where they come, that the country are exceeding glad of their being come.  
When the messenger that brought the message to the Parliament yesterday, left the Scots Army, which was on Wednesday last, than they were at Addestone, within some six miles from Answick in their march towards Newcastle, which is about some twenty eight English miles, and then a Letter was prepared to be sent to Colonel Glemham the Governor of Newcastle; to require the delivery of the same up to the use of the Parliament, in England, and he doth verily believe that by this time they can give account of the same: for on Saturday last they intended to be before Newcastle.  
Colonel Glemham, it seems had marched out of Newcastle with a party, such strength as he could make; and the Letters were delivered to him, which came from our brethren of Scotland, sent from both the Chairmen of the Committees of England and Scotland, which was very fair, and declared, that they did not desire blood, but to bring in those delinquents to justice, who seek to divert his Majesty from the Parliament. The Letter was delivered to Colonel Glemham, and by him read to the Army then with him, which himself would not deny but that it was very fair; and so made unto them three Propositions, at the reading of the said Letter.  

1. Whether the country should be burnt up before them and all destroyed and said waist: To this it was answered, no, which they had reason so to do, because there were then present many of the Gentry of those parts, who had interest in the land there.  
2. Whether they should oppose the Scots, and send them a denial. To which it was answered, that they were altogether unable to oppose them, because they being but two thousand foot, and some few horse, it would be in vain to stand against them.  
3. Whether an answer should be returned to the said letters, to which some said that it were best, first to send to the Earl of Newcastle, to know his mind: others, that it were convenient first to send to Oxford, before an answer be returned.   
But it is very probable, that by this time our brethren of Scotland are possessed of Newcastle, for the country Gentlemen came so fast in to our brethren of Scotland, that it caused the rest of the country to follow, so that their Army doth much increase.  
And where as it is supposed that Tinmouth castle will be hard to be gained, our brethren of Scotland make no great matter of it, and besides, the Earl of Newcastle is preparing thitherward.  
The messenger further reporteth, that as he sailed by the mouth of the channel which leadeth to Newcastle, he saw some seven ships or more which seemed to be fraught, and upon inquiry, it was certified that they were laden with malignants goods supposed for Holland, whereof he gave notice to some Commanders under the Lo●d Admiral, who appointed eleven ships to wait their coming out, and if they came not forth before Saturday, the day appointed by our brethren of Scotland to be at Newcastle, then to fall in and steal upon them.  
Now that our brethren of Scotland may not be looked upon with the prejudice of strangers, we hope this firm union of this mutual Covenant will wear out, There is a Committee of our own Nation, the most of which are Parliament men, such to whom they have committed the trust and care of their Religion, Laws and Liberties, joined with them, without whose concurrence nothing that concerns us is to be transacted. And to free us of all unjust suspicion, which if our minds are not ready to conceive, yet the malicious mouths of our adversaries and theirs are ready to suggest, that notwithstanding their Declaration, they have some sinister and secret ends, which may prove prejudicial to our rights and happiness: It is hereby made known to us, that they have freely engaged themselves, by an Article of the late treaty betwixt the Nations, to give the public Faith of the Kingdom of Scotland unto the Kingdom of England, that neither their entrance into, nor continuance in this Kingdom, shallbe made use of to any other ends then expressed in the Covenant, and that treaty subscribed to them by the commissioners of both Kingdoms, which they are resolved, to the honour of God and of this Nation, to keep inviolate.  
And they declare, that they are so far from desiring harm or loss to any of their Brethren of England, that their sincere and real intentions are not to add fuel, nor bring oil, but water to extinguish these lamentable combustions and fires, which they have with so much duty and love laboured to quench: That their taking of arms is not to make Wars (if they be not necessitated) but to obtain a better grounded and more durable Peace, for enjoying our Religion and Liberties in all the three Kingdoms: and that the wicked (who are the unworthy authors of all our troubles) being removed from our King, a right understanding may be established betwixt his Majesty and his people. And as they have solemnly sworn to protect all who shall adhere to this covenant: So do they certainly expect, that all their brethren in England who are zealous for the true Protestant Religion, loyal to the King, and faithful for their country, will join with them in procuring these just desires: Which being obtained, they shall be most willing and ready to return to their native Country, esteeming it their greatest happiness, that Truth with Peace may be established in all his Majesty's Dominions.  
FINIS.
