Antilope, and torn her open, by which she is made unserviceable, and
that on his Return from thence he had taken the Hart Frigot, a ship that
did much mischiefe between Ostend and Dover, in this ship were eleven
pieces of Ordnance,and about seventy persons whom he took prisoners.

From Scotland it was this day certified that the Accord so much spoken
of betwixt their declared King and Parliament is rather suspected
then believed, His Answer to the Parliament of Scotland doth follow in
these words.
I am much unsatisfied with the Papers of the first and second of this
moneth, in answer to mine of the 29 of May, finding by them that my
reall endeavours to give all just satisfaction to my good subjects of Scotland
are undervalued; and mis-interpreted, and observing in them severall
inferences opposing the naturall fence and true intent of what I have
proposed with most sincere intentions for the good of that Church and
Kingdom, and unseasonable uselesse questions, neither properly arising
out of any my former papers nor conducing to the common peace. But
neither these nor any other discouragements shall prevail with me, to omit
any thing that may tend to the peace and happinesse of my good subjects
of Scotland; to which I shall most effectually, to my utmost power upon
all occasions apply my selfe according to the duty which I owe to Almighty
God, in the exercise of my royall power, for the good of my people;
In order where unto I shall with convenient speed send you, by the
express mentioned in my last Paper, the more particular answer I then
promised and shall likewise more expresse my selfe concerning the matter
contained in those papers, and shall shew more particularly what I
now complain of. In the mean time, I expect and require from all my
good subjects of Scotland such obedience as is due to me their King by
the Laws of God, Nature and of that Kingdome.
