The vulgar, wherever he passed, were instigated to reproach and vilify him.

When he came to Edinburgh, every circumstance of elaborate rage and insult was put in practice by order of the parliament.

At the gate of the city he was met by the magistrates, and put into a new cart, purposely made with a high chair or bench, where he wus placed, that the people might have a full view of him.

He was bound with a cord, drawn over his breast and shoulders, and fastened through holes made in the cart.

The hangman then took off the hat of the noble prisoner, and rode himself before the cart in his livery, and with his bonnet on; the other officers, who were taken prisoners with the marquis, walking two and two before them.
The populace, more generous and humane, when they saw so mighty a change of fortune in this great man, so lately their dread and terror, into whose hands the magistrates, a few years before, had delivered on their knees the keys of the city, were struck with compassion, and viewed him with silent tears and admiration.
