Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 4 of 8: From the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688 Before the authority of the magiftrate could be ef'rablifh ed, it was neceffary, they faid, to make an example of this great offender; and by the terror of his punifhrnent, teach all leflhr criminals to pay refpeé't to the power of their fovereign. Albany, moved by thefe reafons, was induced to forget Hume's pait fervices, to which he had, in a great meafure, been indebted for the regency 5 and he no longer bore towards him that favourable counte nance, with which he was wont to receive him. Hume perceived the alteration, and. Was incited, both by regard to his own fafety and from motives of revenge, to take mea fures in oppofition to the regent. He applied himfelf to Angus and the queen dowager, and reprefented to them the danger, to which the infant pri ce was expofed, from the ambition of Albany, the next heir to the crown, to whom the {tates had imprudently entrul'ted the whole authority of government. By his perfuafion, -margaret formed the defign of carrying off the young king, and putting him under the proteétion of her brother; and when that confpiracy was detected, the herfelf, attended by Hume and Angus, withdrew into England, where {he was foon after delivered of a daughter.
