of Scotland have made to us for this erro^r, yet have they not so satisfied us therew^{th}, that that wee have lett them knowe how much wee mislike some dullnes of theirs, w^{ch} they ca[=n]ot avoyd; And wee doe assure o^{r}self that hereafter no like thing will happen; and pray the King to be perswaded; that if any of ours shall soe farre forth forgett themselves as to serve any Adversarye of his; wee shall impute it to them for no lesse fault, then if they served an Enemy of our owne; As for that point; concerning Andrew Ramsey, wherew^{th} the King doth charge him; that having heretofore (after service don to the late King of Sweeden) found favo^r at the King o^r brothers hande; and given his faith to him never to serve the King of Sweeden against him more; wee are so much displeased w^{th} his cariage therein; as we meane to take a due tryall thereof; and if he doe not give us satisfaccon although by course of Lawe the fact be of that nature as hath no punishment p^{r}scribed; yet shall o^r usage towarde him be such; as all men shall perceive how farre wee mislike men of so unworthie disposi[=con]. _Draft from the_ KING _to_ SIR ROBERT ANSTRUTHER, _dated 30, Sept 1612_. Trustie, etc. * * * * * Yo^w shall also lett him understand concerning Andrew Ramsey, as wee wrote in o^r last lres to yo^u wee wold; so did wee take to speedie order to have a tryall made what he could answere to the fowle fact of breach of his faith to the Kings Ministers who had him prisoner w^{ch} yo^r lres did charge him w^{th}; for w^{ch} purpose, he being called before o^r Councell hid himself; and being often su[=m]oned and not appearing, is for his contempt at the Horn, whereby yo^u may say unto the King, he hath now given us a good ground to punishe him by coorse of lawe; for that before although his fact proving true; we might have ever thought of him as a naughtie and unworthie person, yet could wee not have inflicted any punishement uppon him, for that the declaring of Shelmo is not in use w^{th} us. But now having out of his owne fact putt himself in the daunger of the lawe wee have ground to proceed against him; whereby the King and all men shall see how much we detest such acts. Wee have also taken a coorse to trye whenne the moneys came w^{ch} wee heard he had distributed to the men he levyed; And we doe find that the money came not out of Sweeden; but from whence he had it wee will spare to deliver at this p[=n]t, but at yo^r retorne wee will make yo^u acquainted w^{th} it, and by yo^u, the King shall afterwardes understand. SIR ROBERT ANSTRUTHER _to the_ KING. _From Coppenhagen 26 October 1612._ Humblie sheweth unto your Majestie, * * * * *
