PRINCE ROBERT HIS SPEECH TO THE EARLE OF ESSEX The morning before hee marched forth with his Forces AND HIS EXCELLENCES Answer thereunto Also the manner of his marching out with his Forces from Northampton on Munday Sept. 19. and the number thereof Likewise the manner of the disarming of the Papists and ill-affected persons in Lincolnshire by the Earl of Lincoln and Gentry of the County and causing them to subscribe for money and horse for the King and Parliament with the like proceedings in Yorkshire LONDON Septemb. 21. Printed for T. Cook 1641. PRINCE ROBERTS MESSAGE to his Excellency the morning before hee marched forth with his Forces and his Excellencies Answer thereunto Also the manner of the disarming of the Papists and ill-affected persons in Lincolnshire and causing them to subscribe to finde money and horse for the Parliament with the like proceedings in Yorkshire ON Munday the 19. of September the Earle of Essex having received Letters from the Parliament to advance his Forces from Northampton caused Drums to be beated up at foure a clock in the morning to call the souldiers together and about six of the clock in the morning all the Colonels and Commanders attended on his Excellency signifying that their soulders were in a readinesse to march with his Excellency which they had no sooner done but there came a Message from Prince Robert to his Excellency the Earle of Essex intimating that he had received certain information that the said Earle of Essex was in a trayterous manner raising forces against his Majestie and had advanced forward and approached neere unto his Majesties person with force and Armes making warre against his Majesty and his good Subjects and that he heard the said Earle intended to march tewards Coventry which if he did he would give him the meeting at Dunsmore Heath and would bee well provided against his comming thither Whereuppon his Excellency retourned answer that the manner of his raising those forces that were then with him ready to march under his command was a thing not now to bee disputed upon betweene them the occosions and legality thereof being already determined by both houses of Parliament neither had he undertaken that Comand with an intent for to leavy forces or make warre against his Majesties royall person but to obtaine a peace betweene his sacred Majestie and his great Counsell of Parliament and all the rest of his Majesties faithfull dutifull and most loyall Subjects against any persons whatsoever that should oppose and resist the same and that hee feared not to meete the said Prince in any place that hee should appoint or make choice of And thereupon about ten of the clock the same day his Excellency advanced his Forces consisting of about two and twenty thousand Horse and Foot intending to march about eight miles that night which the Countrey people inhabiting thereabouts having intelligence of came in great multitudes to expresse their true love and unfained affection to his Excellency and his honourable Person and also to shew a testimony of their love and earnest desire of the good successe of that cause which he had undertaken the greatest part of the Gentry of that County coming thither in great pompe and state to attend his Excellency and marched before him out of the towne and the meaner sort of people expressed themselves with great acclamations of joy to see his Excellency accompanied with such a number of brave resolute able men which number the countrey would have been glad to have doubled their affection was so great to this service It is credibly reported that the Kings Majesty is gone into Staffordshire and from thence is intended to take his journey unto Shrewesbury because some of his carriages are gone thitherward already where also his Majesty expects great supplies of aid and assistance to come out of North-Wales about two thousand of them being come down into Shropshire and Cheshire already but none of them dare come into the town of Shrewsbury because the townsmen do threaten to beat them out againe if they come thither or at least to do by them as the Citizens of Chester did by three hundred Welchmen that the Lord Strange had bileted there who when they went forth of the City to exercise shut the gates against them and kept them out It is reported his Excellency will march with Forces directly towards Coventry and in his passage thither hee is to march over Dunsmore Heath where it is conceived that the great Challenger Prince Robert will play least in sight for he knowes it is not firing of houses that will there serve his turne which is the way wherein he shews his greatest valour but he might have done better to have retorted that peece of Art upon the Spaniard who by that meanes wrought the great ruine in the Palatinate The Earle of Lincolne with many Gentlemen and Free-holders in the County of Lincolne considering the dangerous estate in which this Kingdome now stands have gathered together in that County and have searched all the Papists and ill-affected Protestants houses of any worth in that County and have not onely taken away their armes but have also forced them to subscribe to maintaine horse and moneyes for the King and Parliament so that this County is now secured for the Parliament the greatest part of the Countrey being so much incensed against the Cavaliers that they say if any of them come againe thither they will be their executioners In Yorkshire they are very quiet Sir Iohn Hotham having lately defeated some troops of the Earle of Cumberlands The City is all for the King and Parliament they hope that other Countreyes will take warning by their ignorance for at the first they being ignorant of the cause of the devision betweene the King and Parliament and of the insolent behaviour of the Cavaliers had some relish of an indifferent good opinion of their cause which made many of them decline from the Parliament at that time which being now better informed are for it and although this County sends forty Members to the Parliament and there is not above three or four of them that hath continued firme and constant to the house yet now we hear diverse of them are changed in their opinions and would gladly be received againe into the house wee are here about to take the course amongst those that are Popishly affected and of the malignant faction as they have done in Lincolnshire and although we shall not tender any oath of association yet we intend to make such a tye between them and the Parliament that they shall not get off without forfeiture of that which they will be unwilling to loose FINIS
