d usurper of our dominions. Leaving entirely to your prudence and
conduct to begin the necessary acts of hostility when and where you
think most advantageous conducing to our restoration; and we doe
hereby command all, and require all officers and souldiers, both by
sea and land, and all our subjects, to acknowledge and obey you as
our General and Commander as Cheif of our army; and you to obey such
furder orders and directions as you shall from time to time receive
from us. In pursuance of the great power and trust we have reposed
in you.

suppressing the rebellion, and proceeded to Scotland on the 25th. They
were afterwards followed by 3000 more, who, being obliged to put in at
Harwich, marched on by land. Reay,
