D. P. R.
_Scottish Prisoners sold to Plantations_ (Vol. Ii. , pp. 297. 350. 379. ). -- "The judgements of heaven were never so visible upon any people as those which have fallen upon the Scots since [the sale of Charles I. ]; for, besides the sweeping furious plague that reigned in Edinburgh, and the incredible number of witches which have increased, and have been executed there since; besides the sundry shameful defeats they have received by the English, who carried away more of them prisoners... than they were themselves in number; _besides that many of them died of mere hunger; besides that they were sold away slaves, at half a crown a dozen, for foreign plantations among savages_; I say besides all this chain of judgements, with diverse others, they have quite lost their reputation among all mankind; some jeer them, some hate them, and none pity them. "--Howell's _German Dict. _, p. 65. , 1653.
Echard, in _Hist. Eng. _, vol. Ii. P. 727. , speaking of the prisoners takenat Worcester, says that Cromwell "marched up triumphantly to London, driving four or five thousand prisoners like sheep before him; making presents of them, as occasion offered, as of so many slaves, and selling the rest for that purpose into the English plantations abroad.
