[The carriage of the Prince.] The Prince being young and tender, and having never been out of the Palace, nor ever seen any but those that attended on his person, as it seemed afterwards, was scared to see so many coming and bowing down to him, and telling him that he was King, and his Father was fled into the mountains.  Neither did he say or act any thing as not owning the business, or else not knowing what to say or do.  This much discouraged the Rebells, to see they had no more thanks for their pains.  And so all things stood until the five and twentieth of December, at which time they intended to march and fall upon the old King.

[Upon the Prices Flight, the Rebells scatter and run.] But in the Interim, the Kings Sister Flyes away with the Prince from the Court into the Countrey near unto the King; which so amazed the Rebells, that the mony and cloth and plunder which they had taken, and were going to distribute to the Strangers to gain their good will and assistance, they scattered about and fled.  Others of their Company seeing the Business was overthrown, to make amends for their former fact, turned and fell upon their Consorts, killing and taking Prisoners all they could.  The people were now all up in arms one against another, killing whom they pleas’d, only saying they were Rebells and taking their goods.

[A great man declares for the King.] By this time a great man had drawn out his men, and stood in the Field, and there turned and publickly declared for the old King:  and so went to catch the Rebells that were scattered abroad.  Who when he understood that they were all fled, and no whole party or body left to resist him, marched into the City killing all that he could catch.

[For eight or ten days nothing but killing one another to approve themselves good Subjects.] And so all revolted, and came back to the King again:  whilst he only lay still upon his mountain.  The King needed not to take care to catch or execute the Rebells, for they themselves out of their zeal to him, and to make amends for what was past, imprisoned and killed all they met; the Plunder being their own.  This continued for some eight or ten days.  Which the King hearing of, commanded to kill no more, but that whom they took they should imprison, until examination passed; which was not so much to save innocent persons from violence, as that he might have the Rebells to torment them, and make them confess of their Confederates.  For he spared none that seemed guilty:  some to this day lye chained in Prison, being sequestred of all their Estates, and beg for their living.  One of the most noted Rebells, called Ambom Wellaraul, he sent to Columba to the Dutch to execute, supposing they would invent new Tortures for him, beyond what he knew of.  But they instead of executing him, cut off his chains, and kindly entertained him, and there he still is in the City of Columba, reserving him for some designs they may hereafter have against the Countrey.
