Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Letters of Comforts for the Deaths of the Earle of Hadingtoun and of the Lord Boyd: 1640
Although Mr Zachary was originally an enthusiastic royalist, and in 1633 published a Latin panegyric on the Coronation of Charles I. At Holyrood, which he read to the king in the porch of that palace, he afterwards found it necessary to take the side of the Covenanters. His feelings seem to have changed so completely, that after the victory at Newburn, by which the Covenant ing army under General Lesly, afterwards Earl of Leven, gained possession of Newcastle, he published a poem, in which he exults in their successes. It is entitled, The Battel of Newbvrne: Where the Scots Armie obtained a notable victorie against tbe English Papists, Prelatr, and Arminians, the a8th day of August 1640.
