August 5. Printed for Io Hundgate 1642. A TERRIBLE COMBATE Fought in Bedfordshire betweene two Knights IT is much to bee wondered that thô our eares are continually taken up with harsh sounding passages yet wee lye snugging in the feather bed of thought security All is well or if the State be extreame sick it will recover if we be without Gun-shot Penny Pamphlets make us pound foolish and if in the forehead of a booke wee are tickled with joyful News in a trice our herts begin to Caper within vs cause easy beleife soone crepes into our breasts when matters sutable to our minds are acted and to the pleasant Comedy of our desires archeived our affections sing a Plaudite Nay so wedded are wee to our one fancies that wee will daunce after their pipe That discourse that carries alway with it a sting in the tale nothing or somthing nere kin to nothing moues us hopes future beguile vsefull feares and not what is produced or acted terrifies us but what may be yet never had existence takes up lodging in our breasts and as if what is thought only is prophecy the sun of peace wil at a wish vnmask it selfe to the view of this benighted Island Jf Hul or York speake to us in the languadg of blood O then our joy bequeaths it selfe to sorrow which is thrust out of the portall of our lips only or if it finde intertainment in these inward Closets of ours yet our Hand must not wa●ke for redresse In Bedfordshire were exercised

our safty is built on Castles in the ayre when the Castles of our Kingdome are surprised that Portsmouth with the fortresse thereof by the faithlesse Governour thereof is given up to the King stuft with flocking Papists emptied of true hearted protestants They who stood for King Parliament were vnhoused and upon command spewed out who leaned to the King solely were imbraced which black deed the Bishop of Winchester applauding countenanced it with a Troope of Horse with which he furnished His Majesty a Iadish trick against the renowned Parliament and is imitated not lamented Warwicke Castle

for death they were not afraid to fight but they were not ashamed to fly It may be they disdained and scorned to paint their Weapons in those they were of ability to discomfit or else they shewed only what they could doe but would not teach them their art however it was there was a surcease from Arms Now the Parliaments Handful feared not to follow the Chase it forced not for if they had For as if

accident of the divers colour The Lord Brook siding with the blessed Parliament proved Loyal in spight of the enemy For after that rage and malice set their feet on the neck of goodnesse his actions received a blot from the Lord Northampton who rather to be pittied then praised brusht him with an vnexspected affront and would have crusht his proceedings to a non entity which the Lord Brooke not brooking Strok not sayle and now with thousands more Protest to be limed and adhere to the Parliament mauger Norhamptons forces Wherupon there sprang a tumult who for their quick appearance seemed to be create onely of the loud Alarum of his well couched speech The Lord Brooks couragiously saw them stoop to his Iuges and become the Parliaments protectors but cause they started at his Proclamations to know whether he could bee acquanted with such loyalty as his in a sweete phrase he be spake their company that were his concomitants that they would welcome the Morning of the succeding day though
