So that I, with several others, went from Edin- burgh towards the south, where some more of our friends were got together, in order to join them, according to our solemn engagements, wherein we were bound to assist one another in defence of our religion. There was a small party of us to- gether at Meuros (Melrose,) who were sent out from the rest upon some expedition, who were at- tacked by two troops of horse, who fell upon us at a place called Bewly Bog, where we were de- feated, and several ...of our men killed and some taken prisoners. The Lord was pleased to bring me off safe, though I hardly escaped.* * An account of the sufferers of Teviotdale notices those who were " slain and wounded — at Bewly-hill, by a rencounter of a party commanded by captain Buckhame. — Seven men deed, some in the fields, and some in their wounds — and others hurt and maimed to this day." (MS. Adv. Lib. Rob. III. 6, 15.) Bewly is in the parish of Lilliesleaf, and different spots in or near it are referred to in the accounts of field meetings, and the attacks made on them by the military.
