Which we, Monluck, Bishop of Valence Labrosse, Amien's joint commissioners For the most christian King, and Queen, Francis, and Mary of France, and Scotland, Have Confirmed. Doy. Which, we as duty binds, must obey. The Articles thus follow, The most mighty Princess Elizabeth by the grace of God, of England, France, and Ireland Queen, defender of the faith, etc. and the most Christian King, Francis, and Mary, by the same grace King, and Queen of France, and Scotland have bore Record upon a reconciliation of peace, and amity to be inviolably kept between them, their subjects, Kingdoms, and confines; and therefore in their names it is straitly commanded to all manner of persons, borne under their obeisances, or being in their services, to lay by all hostility either by Sea or Land, and to keep good peace either with other from this time forwards, as they will answer thereto, at their utmost perils; long live Elizabeth, Francis, and Mary; Long live Elizabeth, &c. We much desire to hear the Articles, On which this peace stands fully ratified. They are thirteen in number; The principal, and of most effect, are these, That the French Soldiers, and all men of war Leave the Realm of Scotland in twenty days, six score Soldiers, only are excepted, Three score of them to remain at Inskeith, And three score, at the Castle of Dunbar, Their wages to be paid from the estates of Scotland; and to live lawful subjects To the Laws, and ordinances of that Realm, All fortifications in, or, about Leith, Which by the French was built, shallbe defaced, That France convey not any man of war Nor ammunition into this Land, Without a free consent in Parliament, Of the three estates of these great Kingdoms. That Francis, and Mary King, and Queen of France, From henceforth bear not the Arms of England Which solely appertain to our dread Mistress The Queen of England, and to no other. These as you hope for peace, you must observe. We subjects are the hands, Kings are the heads, And what the head commands, the hands must act, Our barricadoed portals shall fly ope, And yield entrance; if warlike Clifton please, As we have fought together, so we'll feast, Such viands, as a razed Town can yield You shall receive; noble sir Francis Leake Hath in this manner proclaimed this peace On the North-side whom we will gratulate Which terms of honour, will it please you enter? By my halidom we accept your offer; Lay by your arms; still after frays come feasts, To which we Soldiers, are the welcom'st guests; Unbrace our drums, instead of war's Alarms, we'll meet, like constant lovers, arm in arms See, Joshua, is entered, one cup of brisk Orleans Makes him i'th' temper he was when he leapt into Leene.
