THE BRITTISH MERCURY COMMUNICATING Remarkable Intelligences and true Newes to awle the whole Kingdome from Munday November 27. to Tuesday Decemb. 5. 1643. TO confirm the ancient report that the WELCH-MEN both for Antiquity and fidelity are the truest Brittaine her vil declare unto you the noble resolution of Sir Richard Lloyd one of the chief Commanders of Flintshire who having sent his Commission of Array unto Sir Thomas Middleton offereth to come to him with fifteen hundred men to doe service for the Parliament and besides the Welchmen being now growne sensible that it is the part of no true Subject to bring fuell to maintain the flames of this unnaturall warre they doe continually flock in to submit themselves in obedience to the Parliament for the Welchmen are not so madde but that her doe very well understand that to side with the King is to fight against her self the Protestant Religion and that ancient liberty of the Subject which though often attempted by many Conquering Monarches her hath so long time freely enjoyed in Wales But we cannot alwayes set fayre and loyall actions in the view of your eye therefore behold the Citie of Bristoll in a lamentable condition swarming with the Irish Rebells who having mustered many hundred Protestants in Ireland doe come over with a full intent to bathe their swords in the English blood and to make this land a desolate Wildernesse full of such wilde and bloody beasts as they are For one of them being lately by a woman who fled thither out of Ireland two yeers since challenged for murthering five of her Children he answered That he had Commission for it and if he had the like Commission he would doe as much here Her doe wonder that the Vessels which bring over so many Hoggs-heads or Doggs-heads of cruelty are not cast away by the justice of the Windes but it is likely that being not borne under a drowning destiny their fate will lead them on to hanging according to their papisticall merits Sir William Wallers Army is now very well recruted and strengthened by Colonell Muleyr and Colonell Nortons Regiment of horse and a thousand horse and Dragoones of Kent and as many more out of Sussex Surrey and Hampshire so that the Lord Hopton if her were creat English Saint pigger then Saint George or Saint TAPFY himself could not encounter so many cruell nay her may say flying and stinging Fyery Dragons As the Welchmen observing that matters were carried on to advance Popery and other ill purposes are now awaked from her Dream and Visions to see what fooles nay Slaves they were like to be made by joyning themselves to the Kings Army and doe in considerations thereof purpose with their best service to ayd the Parliament so the Inhabitants of Cumberland and Westmerland have been of late solicited with much importunity by the Lord Widdrington and Sir Thomas Glenham to assist them with supplies of horse or foot and stand in their defences against the invasions of the advanced Scots but those Countreys being as wise as WALES have refused to send them any ayd alleaging that the Scots at their last being there carried themselves with more civility and in better fashions then the plundering and armed Inhabitants of their own countrey Hence you may discerne that not the advance money doth make the Scots a man but her cood manners and true religions doth make her company so much desired in England From the West her can inform you that the Garrison Souldiers at Poole in Dorsetshire made an Issue out as far as Preston and took there a French Captaine that commanded Sir Iohn Heales troop and in the night they fell upon Colonell Tregewells quarter at Shapwick killed some men took some Gentlemen prisoners and some 40. horse afterward they killed the Ambuscade that was set behind hedges and beat them from Foole to Winborne took one Captain one Ensigne and some fourteen Prisoners Would all the Garrison Souldiers that have more time to be drunk then to doe any thing would shew her the like magnanimities and courage New-castle doth now repent her favouring and receiving of malignants You may see what 't is to have friendship with the Divell had you kept them out you had not now lamented the putting of them in Though you are called Newcastle yet you are an Old-castle and should have had more wit then to admit your enemy Art thou not able to fall in pieces with age and griefe to think of thy disobedience to the Parliament and keeping the Coales from London which doth shew that thy love to the City is very cold and cold comfort thou shalt finde I warrant thee in thy distresse take heed thy new Governor doe not make thee the first slaved Town subjected to the Kings authority when thy liberty shall be slavery plundering thy policy and thou shalt iudure whole chauldrons of misery before thou hadst received malignants thou hadst better have fired thy Coale-pits and have burnt a happy Martyr for the Parliament The Marquesse of New-castle is advanced into Nottinghamshire to joyne with the Kings forces Her believe her Armies defire to make a malignant marriage that the issue which their conjunction doth intend to produce might be foure unhappy sonnes Peter Popery Perkin Prerogative Simon Slavery and Paul
