HIS majesty's Passing through the Scots Army.  
General Lasley being advertised of the time of his majesty's coming to Newcastle, that he might as well appear in his own art and luster as in his duty and loyalty to his sovereign (Having first made his choice of fit ground) he drew out his whole forces both horse and foot with the artillery and the better to express the soldiers salute and welcome of their King, he rallied his men into two divisions of equal number ranging them in a great length with an equal distance between them of about eight score which rendered them the more conspicuous and with the braver aspect to the beholders, through these the King was to pass, whither being come the general aligh●ing from his horse (which was presently taken by two of his footmen) he prostrated himself and service before the King upon his knees, his majesty a while privately talking to him and at his rising gave him his hand to kiss, and commanded his horse to be given him, whereon remounted, he rid with the King through the army.  
In the first place stood highlanders commonly called Redshankes, with their plains cast over their shoulders having every one his bow and arrows with a broad slycing sword by his side, these are so good markesmen that they will kill a dear in his speed, it being the chiefest part of their living, selling the skins by great quantities and feeding on the flesh, next were Musketeers interlaced with Pikes and here and there intermixed with those dangerous short guns invented by that their famous engineer Sandy Hamilton and were for the sudden execution of horse in case they should assail them, then again bows muskets and pikes for a good distance on both sides, in the midway the Artillery was placed by Tiers consisting of about 60. pieces of Ordnance, the cannoneers standing in readiness with fired linstockes in their hands, the horsemen were here placed on both sides which served as wings or flanks for the whole Army and so forward in the same order, but disposed into so goodly a presence and posture, with such suitable equipage and military accommodations that they appeared ready to give or take battle, or Forth with to have gone upon some notable design. And as the King passed a long they gave such true fire as it is believed since the invention of guns never better was seen or heard, they discharged wondrous swift but with as good a method and order as your skilfullest Ringers observe with bells, not suffering the noise of the one to drown the other, the King received such contentment that whereas his dinner was appointed and provided at the majors of Newcastle, he yet went and honoured general Lasley with his presence at dinner, who hath not only gained a good report with his Maje●●ie to be a brave soldier but also a singular esteem to be a most expert and able commander and general by such ofour English Officers as were then with his majesty   

THE Manner of the Scots departure, and marching out of Newcastle.  
THe Scots when they marched out of Newcastle their artillery being mounted upon their carriages, advanced first forth with the cannoneers and other Officers thereto belonging and some troops of horse, than most of the Regiments of foot, after them their provision baggage and carriage, then followed the rest of the foot, and all the rest taking their leaves in a most brotherly and friendly manner, being gone some four miles from the town their general having directed them to march forwards he returned to Newcastle accompanied with some few of his officers, causing the Toll Bell to be rung up and down the town proclaiming that if any of the town were not yet satisfied for any thing due to them from any of his Officers or soldiers, let them bring in their Tickets and he would pay them, which he did accordingly to the great content of the townsmen, and much applause of the general and his whole army, and after a solemn taking of his leave he followed the army going all the way along with them in the rear as they marched and not any thing taken from any man in all their journey to their singular Commendation and gaining the good esteem of all that passed by.
