Excerpt from Naval and Military History of the Wars of England, Vol. 3: Including the Wars of Scotland and Ireland The king was required to attaint, and except from a general pardon, forty of the most considerable of his English subjects, and nineteen or his Scots, together with all the Popish recusants who had borne arms for him. It was insisted that forty-eight more, with all the members of either house who had fat in the parliament called by the king at Oxford, all lawyers and divines who had embraced the king´s party, should be rendered incapable of any office, be forbid the exercise of their profession, be prohibited from coming within the verge of the court, and forfeit the third of their estates to the parliament. It was required, that whoever had borne arms for the king should forfeit the tenth of their estates, or, if that did not sussice, the sixth, for the payment of public debts. As if royal authority was not sufficiently annihilated by these terms, it was demanded that the court of wards should be abolished; that all the considerable officers of the crown, and all the judges, should be appointed by parliament; and that the right of peace and war should not he exercised without consent of parliament. A little before the commencement of this fruitless treaty, the parliament, to shew their determined resolution to proceed in the fame haughty imperious method in which they had begun, brought to the block Archbishop Laud, who had long been a prisoner in the tower, and was incapable of giving offence to any. While the king´s affairs thus went to decay in England, they seemed to revive a little in Scotland, through the conduct and valour of the Earl of Montrose, a young nobleman newly returned from his travels. He had been introduced to the king; but, not meeting with an agreeable reception, had gone over to the covenanters, and been active in forwarding all their violence.
