TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE, MOST WORTHY and Noble Lords, the No∣ble-men, and others of the Co∣venant of Scotland.
May it please your Lordships,
ACcording to your honours directions, the Scouts (which were sent into Eng∣land, to discover the estate of things there) came unto me their Intelligen∣cer at London, who have collected together all such observations, as they in their severall travels have found, or my selfe obser∣ved, either in my owne aboad now two yeares at Lon∣don, or in my returning home: But by reason of all

passages now shut up at sea, and all Land wayes belayd, I was forced to put my selfe in Arminian Attire, and so came home through England, and so remayned some certaine time in the Campe Royall, where my Collections may manifest my love to my Countrey, and care of the trust by your Lordships imposed upon me. But if my ob∣servations be not answerable to your Lordships expectati∣ons, I am heartily sorry: Yet, yee may see, I have not bin altogether idle, nor will be more carelesse hereafter (as occasion is offered) then formerly I have beene, and shall in my Northern newes (which is also now in collecting) make good what is omitted, and in confidence of your favoura∣ble acceptance hereof, I rest,
Your Honours most humble servant, D. L.
