and by direction were laid on a table in the summer house of the
proprietor; and a fair linen cloth cut out and laid upon them, where all
had access to come and see them; where they beheld a hole in each head
which the hangman broke with his hammer when he drove them on the pikes.
On the 19th, they were put in a full coffin covered with black, and by
some friends, carried unto Gray-Friars church-yard, and interred near
the martyr's tomb (being near forty-five years since their separation

the command of the forementioned colonels Strahan, Hacket and Ker, and
he himself taken afterwards in the land of Assen's, bound and brought to
Edinburgh, where he was by the parliament condemned to be hanged May
