Then she desired him to kepe to him sellfe the promise betwixt him and her, and to open it to nobodye. For ᵱadventure the Lordes woulde not thinke welle of their suddine agrement, consideringe he and theye were at some wordes before. He aunswered that he knew no cause whye theye shulde mislike of it, and desired her y{t} she would not move anye of thẽ against him even as he woulde stirre none againste her, and y{t} theye would worke bothe in one mind, otherwise it might tourne to great{r} inconvenience to them bothe. She aunswered y{t} she never sowght anye waie bye him, but he was in fault him sellfe. He aunswered againe y{t} hys faultes were published and y{t} there were y{t} made great{r} faultes than ever he made y{t} beleved were vnknownē, and yet theye woulde speke of greate and smale. Farder the Kinge asked me at y{t} present time what I thowght of hys voyage. I aunswered y{t} I liked it not, bicause she tooke him to Cragmill{r}. For if she had desired him w{th} her sellf or to have had hys companye, she would haue taken him to hys owne howse in Edinbr̃. Where she might more easely visit him, than to travelle two myles owt of the towne to a gentlemãis house. Therefore mye opiniō was y{t} she tooke him awaye more like a prison{r} than her husbande. He aunswered y{t} he thowght litle lesse him sellf and feared him sellfe indeid save the confidence, he had in her promise onelye, notwithstandinge he woulde goe w{th} her, and put him sellfe in her handes, thowghe she showlde cutte hys throate and besowghte God to be iudge vnto them bothe. _Endorsed_: ‘Thomas Crawfordᕦ deposit.’ INDEX Abercairnie, Laird of, Mary’s appeal to him on behalf of evicted cottars, 8 ‘Actio,’ the, quoted, on Darnley’s murder, 141, 142 ‘Admonition to the Trew Lordis,’ cited, 151 Ainslie’s band, purport of, 177, 178; defaulters from, 181; Morton’s stipulation, 254; signers of, 329, 330; Morton’s adhesion to, 383 Alava, Beaton’s statement to him about Moray, 210 Alloa, Mary at, 80 ‘Appeal to Christian Princes,’ cited, 240 Argyll, Earl of, disliked by Darnley, 73; lodged by Mary in Edinburgh Castle during her labour, 73, 75; at Craigmillar, 98; Paris’s statement as to him and Mary on the night of Darnley’s murder, 161; in confederation against Bothwell, 181; cited, 38 Arran, Earl of, blamed by Bothwell as the cause of the Protestant rebellion, 47; feud with Bothwell, 47, 49; reconciled to him through Knox, 50; discloses to Knox Bothwell’s plot to seize Mary, 50; apprises Mary of the plot, 51 Atholl, Earl of (member of council), 172; confederated against Bothwell, 181; cited, 203 Baillie Hamilton, Lady, on the Hamilton casket, 368, 369, 370 Balcanquell, Rev.
