More strange Newes from Hull Being a true Relation of a marching towards Hull with a thousand Men. SUch hath been the Malignancy of evill affected persons about his Majestie that they have under many faire pretences in defence of his person and against all as they say that have stood in defiance of the Lawes of the Land against the Kings Majesty which they have very contemptuously and against both the Houses of Parliament the City of London and in fine all parts of the Kingdome who are opposers to their so cruell and witched Tyranny which if not prevented by the great mercy of God wee are like to undergoe the hazard of all that is dearest unto us some ill affected persons have been so obvious to the good of their Countrey which hath a long time flourished in gr●● peace and Tranquility which now is exposed to the hazard of ruine they have sent to the Lord Digby the Lord Finch Windebancke Piercy and Iermine who are neer to Yorke to fight as they say for their King although t is probable they have since their beginning of their promotion to preferment been the chiefe disturbers and raisers of this combustion which hath already begun and doth daily encrease to the terror and affrightment of all his Majesties good subjects They are now grown to so insolent a head and so bold aspiring thoughts of honour and greatnesse that they have wholly exposed themselves to all danger whatsoever so for their owne private ends though with the ruining of this Kingdome they gaine their desires they have already as making no doubt but to bring all men under their girdles and to bee at the commands under a Tyrannicall Government disposed of all mens goods which they bare most grudge to and especially the Parliament men their goods and Lands have they shared and most part of the City of London by nomination of their names swearing with bitter and damnable oathes damne and sink them they will have their swords sheathed in the dearest heart bloods of all those men whom they tearme Round-heads and in this manner beganne they their divellish designe seeing so many stratagems of their wicked inventions to be frustrate of that which they expected the event would have beene with a great deale of bloodshed of their enemies but it hath fallen contray by the great mercy of God as hath plainly appe●red by their dealing in Lancaster Leicester ●orke a●d new Castle and also many other adjoyning Counties Yet for all these their failing in their expectation the Divill the arch enemy to mankinde hath not left their thoughts free from conspiracy against their Countrey as this week appeared by their designe against Sir Iohn Hotham and to have taken the whole Towne of Hull and to that end came 1000. strong marching neare to the Towne to the terror and affrightment of all the neighbouring places but was by none opposed for they marched not altogether but in severall Troopes for feare of any opposition and was to have met neere the Towne of Hull where it was by them intended to have trenched the Towne round and to have taken whom they thought good and to have disposed of them at their pleasure but so it pleased the omnipotent providence of God that they were discovered by Sir Iohn Hotham and soone discomfited by his drowning foure miles round about Hull which the Cavilleers soone perceiving with a great deale of amazement ran immediately some one way some another some thinking it were the immediate hand of God to punish this their hainous offence others swearing damne and sinke them yet to be revenged without the wonderfull mercy of God they had been both damn'd and sinked into the water which almost flowed upon them It is not yet certainly known whether any were drowned or no by reason of their fleeing one from another in such a manner of distraction but it is thought that many of them never went to Yorke yet nor never intend more to goe seeing nothing but destruction on all those that seeke the desolation of a whole Kingdome which God in his good time open all their eyes that they may see their own destruction either in this world or the world to come desiring also a happy union betwixt his Majesty and his high Court of Parliament and give him a sight of these and all his wicked counsellors and the utter desolation which come by a cruell warre of which we have had a reasonable foresight of our neighbouring Countries of late Germany and others which losse there will not be recovered in a long time if it please God to send peace Such hath been the love of the County of Lincolne to assist the good cause of Sir Iohn Hotham that since this assault upon Hull they have sent in fifteene Cart load of victuall with promises of their best aid and assistance with their lives and estates to support him against any opposition Whereas severall Proclamations Declarations and Papers in formes of Proclamations have
