forces came to my Lord Generall and joyned with the rest of the Armie and when the King had drawne his forces up the hill my Lord Generall drew us a matter of half a mile or three quarters of a mile further from the hill that he might be out of the power of the Cannon there we stood to our arms all the night and in the morning drew our selves out againe into the fields but we heard no more newes of the other army more then we saw some scattering men of some three or four troopes of horses on the top of the hill which came to burie the dead and take away some of their Cannon and such things as those were but they came no more down the hill neither that day nor on tuesday though there were divers reports came to us in the Armie and I beleeve came hither that there was fighting on Monday and Teusday yet there was no fighting for the King kept on the top of the hill and we came away on Teusday at four a clocke so that we can assure you there was no more action then was on the Lords day Gentlemen I shall after I have declared this narration to you say no more then this that certainly my Lord Generall himself hath deserved as much in this service for his pains for his care and for the particular successe that was upon it as truly I think ever any Gentleman did and in the next place that as God of his owne immediate providence did thus declare himselfe for the owning of his owne cause so you will not forget to apply your selves to God to give him the glory and to entreat his blessing upon the future successe Master STRODE his SPEECH GEntlemen all as this noble Lord hath tolde you my Lord Generall hath sent him up to you to give you a clear information of what was done he hath given you so cleare a one that there is little left for me to say to you only my attestation and that needes not had that beene all I should have said nothing but in the Innumeration of those regiments that did run away and of his owne I must needs say thus much when they all were away he stayd with us in the service all that night this hold it my dutie to this honourable person it was modesty in himselfe to say nothing I shall crave leave a little further to make you some observation that as God did this great worke and we ascribe to him the honour so you will looke upon the persons by whom he did it In the first place you have heard when as it was 1000 to one but that we had lost the day by running away of the troope of horse and the four Regiments and then the Generall did draw up his own Regiment and then did God begin in them to shew his owne worke and it was not onely in them but by a Regiment raised in Essex and another Regiment raised in this Cittie under the command of master Hollis and another Regiment of my Lord Brookes which had the day upon them these were the men that were ignominiously reproached by the name of Round-heads and by these Round-heads did God shew himselfe a most glorious God And truly Gentlemen they that will report to you the Number of our dead farther then we have reported them to you must finde them many miles from the Armie and then they were men that run away so far that it was no matter who killed them for our men that we could finde any where about the place we cannot finde in all nor thinke above 300 and you 'll say they were well lost that ru● away the boldest men of them that stood were few lost and they that were so lost were lost with a great deale of honour and I beleeve you will have them in more reputation then they that live and run away so that truly I can say no more to you in such a cause as this is that you have undertaken with your purses and with your persons God hath shewed himself with us be you but couragious and we never need doubt it and so we say all The Earl of PEMBROOK his SPEECH MY Lord Maior and you Gentlemen of the City I am commanded and the reason that makes me trouble you at this time with saying any thing is by reason of a Letter I have received from the Committee which I think is a Letter of some consequence and fitting for you to see otherwise I am so ill a Speaker after such a Declaration made to you I have not the boldnesse to say any thing to you but truely though I say little and have a bad tongue yet I have ever had so good a heart to this businesse that I shall ever live and die in it Gentlemen you have shew'd your selves like brave and noble Citizens you have done it with that noblenesse with that alacrity with that love to God King and Parliament that none of your Ancestors before you never shewed more love nor care nor zeal nor performed that you have done better I have onely this to say to you If the times are such not that I think there is any great perill in the Kings Army now for they have told you nothing but truth yet when you have seen this Letter you will finde there is very good cause for you to crown this work which must be by following it with the same zeal love care and noblenesse and alacrity which if you do you may well crown your selves with the name of a glorious City and none more The Letter For his Excellency the Earl of CUMBERLAND Lord Ganerall of His Majesties Forces in the North. MY very good Lord your Lordships of the twentieth of this month I have received by Stockdale and have read it to his Majesty who willed me to fignifie to your Lordship that he is well pleased with your Lordships continuing of the Sheriff in his place albeit he sent a Writ for his discharge his Majesty takes a speciall notice of your Lordships vigilancy and care in the trust he hath reposed in your Lordship as he hath by many very gracious expressions declared at severall times openly upon conference of your businesse in that County Your Lordships care of my Lady Dutchesse of Buckingham is I assure you very well taken by his Maiesty Sir Ralph Hopton and other Gentlemen in the West have raised ten thousand Horse and Foot with which they have already disarmed all persons in Cornwall that are disaffected to the King they have taken Lanceston and are marching into Devonshire to disarm the disaffected there and so intend to come to meet the King at London here are also in Wales about six or seven thousand men levyed for the King which are to be under Marquesse Hartford that will be ready upon all occasions to come to his Maiesty but we hope he will not need their help having given the Earl of Essex such a blow as
