My Loud, — Your letter dated the 10th, sent hither by Mr. Banner -
nian, I read to the Secret Committee. They resolve to forbear medling any
further with Arkinlas, or to ordor any thing concerning the houses, till your
Lordship and they meet. Yours of the 14 came just now to hand. The
Chancellor is gone, the Councell adjourned, the Commissioners all home to
fitt themselfs for ther expedition, but I shall show your letter to the Lord
Treasurer. In my owne opinion, kaveing taken those appointed to be taken,
with such others as yow know gudty or dangerous, your Lordship may
returne, but lett them know yee will speedily return to keep them in fear of
the fleuett. The plott for riseing in Scotland is now fully discovered ; many
more are guilty nor wee imagind, and it is a great danger which God
deliverd this nation from. The whole confession of severals of the conspira-
tors are sent up to the King. Many are apprehended ; but severals guilty
who were conscious, keept them selfs out of our grips. Philiphach's ingenuity,
I hope, will safe him, but he was deejdy in. Since some of Argyle's papers
are found, I wish all were. I am goeing to speak the Treasurer in Arkinlas
intelligence, and so cease writting till I see what shall be done. Wee have
examind, and find all as your Lordship informs of Arkinlas intelligence, tho'
