Whilest these hurls and tumults were in hand, to the danger of the whole state, the wars against the Scots were nothing followed, according to the former purposed meaning of the councell: so that it seemed necessa|rie to giue ouer the kéeping of Hadington, the same being in deed more chargeable (as was thought) than profitable, sith the garrison there could not be vitteled but with a great power to conduct the cariages in safetie, the enimies being still readie to take their aduantage to distresse them vpon anie opportunitie offered. It was therefore resolued, that the earle of Rutland should go thither to sée the fortifications ra|sed, and to conduct from thence the men & ordinance in safetie home into England. Héerevpon the said earle with the Almans, and other souldiours then remaining on the borders, [...] marched thither, and cau|sed the bulworks, rampiers, and trenches to be rased and filled flat with the ground, and bringing from thence all the men, artillerie and munition, bag and baggage returned vnto Barwike without incoun|ter, in peaceable and quiet maner.
