town the Lord Weston affirmed with ane oath to
the rest ther present, That he wanted nothing

Scotland and that the King was obliged to him for
his Crown ; and having found that such speeches

the Countess of Mar, whom his Majesty sent for for
that effect, His Majestie, after taking journey to
England, sent down a missive letter declairinghis
