Right Honourable,  
THe Lord hath this day, here at Philiphauch, near Selkirk, appeared gloriously for his people. The Rebel's Foot are all cut off, and the Horse totally Routed; many Prisoners are taken, amongst whom are Sir Alexander Leslie their General Major, their Agitant General Stuart, Sir John Hay, Sir William Rollock, Colonel Hay, and Sir Robert Spotswood, whom the Earl of Lanerick took, and from him the Signet, with his own hand: The Particulars are not as yet so well known, that we can write all; only, God be praised, we have lost no Noblemen, or chief Officer. This we thought fit to acquaint you with from the Field, that as you joined with our dear Brethren in Fasting for us, so you may join with them and us in giving God the praise, who hath wrought this and all our works for us. We hear General Major Monro is landed; and the General Lieutenant David Leslie will be as active in prosecuting, as God hath made him in being the Instrument of this begun-Deliverance. Let God have all the Glory from you, and from  
Your affectionate friends,
