Colonel Godfrey and others and by degrees several other Lords and Gentlemen who carried along with them very good and effectual men to augment the Army and as the Prince advanced his Army increased This news came presently to King James from the first landing who was daily and hourly precisely informed of their several Movements and Advances toward what places But the main design of the Prince was b●lieved by all for London which sell out accordingly The King in the junctu●e of these affairs was in gr●at amasement for some of his Army nay some of his Life-Guard had deserted and went over to the Prince yet the King trusted to his Army especially to the Irish the rest being English some Scotch and some few French being all mustred together with several Trains of Artillery drawn out of the Tower and in a Martial manner marched away on the Roads towards their Enemies the Prince likewise doing the same in hopes to encounter with them after a little marching but in his marching the Prince was pleased to put forth several Declarations whereby the end and intentions of the Prince's coming into England with his Army was fairly and clearly discovered to the people and with such satisfactory reasons therein inserted that all on a sudden the people desired his Royal presence especially in London and Westminster both being places convenient to turn the Tyde of Affairs if there had been any occasion Within six days the Kings Army was marched to Salisbury the chief Rendezvouz the Princes Army being about 20 or 30 miles distant from them and there happened betwixt several of their Parties and Forlorn-hopes some small encounters and skirmishes but very few taken or slain of either side the Kings Army or at least the main Body lay still at and about Sarum the Princes Army drawing nearer to that place insomuch that the King daily expected a Battle but on a sudden the Scene was changed for a Rumour only coming to the King that the Prince's Army was ready at hand to fall upon his the King forthwith without calling a Council of War or any other consideration left them in great hast and disorder and returned to London the Army being thus deserted by the King whether for want of a good Cause for the love they bore to the Protestant Religion or their good will and opinion for the Prince of Orange Besides an Order given to the Earl of Feversham for their Disbanding the great expected Battel was ended before it begun the Kings Army flying away or at the best easily retreating when no enemy pursued after them it seemeth they had read or at least heard of Mr. Hobbs's self-preservation This supposed terrible Army being removed leaving
