A28914	Manifest truth, or, An inversion of truths manifest containing a narration of the proceedings of the Scottish army, and a vindication of the Parliament and kingdome of England from the false and injurious aspersions cast on them by the author of the said manifest.	Bowles, Edward, 1613-1662.	1646 (1646)	Wing B3873; ESTC R19508	56,538	84

field became Masters of the Enemies Carriages and Artillery and left more dead bodies then hath been at any Battell since these warres began and had slaine more but that the shelter of night and a neare Garrison hindred pursuit The lot of the body of Foot especially of Scots and my Lord Fairfaxes was so promiscuous some standing some flying that I can give no perfect accompt of it As for the Passage in Truth its manifest concerning Lieutenant Generall Cromwell and their Lieutenant Generall Lesley I should be loth to meddle in it and wish the Author of the Manifest had not but something must be said in the Animadversions Thus was God pleased to use the Scots Army in doing its part to the breaking of the strong Army of the North and the defeating of the Prince who brought into the field that day an Army very strong and well accomplisht Quem dies vidit veniens superbum Hunc dies vidit fugiens jacentem If any will make a further enquiry and say who did best I could wish I might be put to no other answer then God did all which is the best way to decide Controversies of this kinde for no man loses when He gaines honour After this happy Victory the discouraged Enemy take severall courses Prince Rupert with his Retinue for his Army was gone marched on Northward to Allerton and so by Richmond back againe the way that he came The Earle of Newcastle with his deare Confidents Widrington and Carnaby went to Scarborough and so beyond Sea and with them Lievtenant Generall King The Government of Yorke by this meanes was devolved upon Sir Thomas Glenham who still undertakes desperate cures Our own Forces after the Generalls had time to meete and the confusion of the fight which lasts longer then the time of it was over and our wounded men provided for fall to work againe and the Fight being on Tuesday Iuly 2. on Thursday or Friday following a Party of Horse were sent under the Command of Lesley and Cromwell to follow the Enemy but they were first gotten into the Dales and became almost uncapable of annoyance The body of the Army returned to the Siege of Yorke which about a fortnight after was surrendred to the Parliament upon Treaty betwixt Commissioners on both parts And thus was God pleased to blesse these united Forces with a Victory and City in which the Scots as they had their part of pains and hazard so deserve their proportionable share of thanks and honour After this my Lord Manchester marched away towards Lincolne his Forces taking some Castles in Yorkshire by the way as Sheffield and Tickhill The Lord Fairfax remained in Yorke and disposed his Forces to the blocking up of some Castles in Yorkshire The Scots Army marched Northward againe And that I may not omit any thing concerning that Army while Generall Leven was imployed in these services about Yorke the Northerne parts and that part of the Scots Army left behind passed some danger and hardship in Northumberland Morpeth Castle held by Lieutenant Collonel Somervill was delivered up with the provisions and goods in it to Collonell Clavering And the Fort at South-Shields though not gotten sine sanguine was lost sine sudore upon a bare Summons from Montrosse and Clavering At this time also Sunderland was faced and outfaced by the mentioned Cavaliers who came to Bishops Wermouth and plundred some of their victualls but the Towne was preserved where amongst others the English Sea-men being much concerned for their ships were then in the harbour well acquitted themselves But the Earle of Callander then comming into England with an additionall Force among whom the Lord Sinclare Montgomery and Levingston dispelled these mysts and before the returne of the Scots Army tooke in Hartlepoole and Stockton upon surrender and placed Garrisons in them as seemed best to him and a little before the returne of the noble Earle of Leven from Yorkshire he had entred Gateshead Town of the South-side of Newcastle parted from it onely by the River by which means the Town of Newcastle was wholly blocked up on the South-side After the returne of the Generall a Bridge was made over the Tyne and he disposed his Army on the Northside and approached close to the Towne with his Foote the Horse being sent Westward towards Cumberland and Westmerland During this Siege which continued above two Moneths the Enemy made frequent and sharpe Sallies and the Generall frequent and faire offers to which the upstart Knight Marlay returned very peremptory and sometimes abusive answers which were reckoned for at last if they be not they may be But at length after much diligence and patience the Generall and the Commanders then resident with the Army resolved upon a Storm and to that end prepared Mines and Batteries and upon October 19th fell on at severall parts of the Towne at the breach made by Cannon there was no entrance and the most losse on the Scots part was there but the Mines taking well especially one at White-Friers Tower they entred and both to our and their benefit tooke that strong and rich Towne Sir Iohn Marly the Governour with the Scottish Earl of Crasurd and others retreated to the Castle expecting thence to make their termes but could get none but those of mercy which considering the persons was too good for them though lesse could not be granted After the entrance there was little bloud shed but the common Souldier betooke himselfe to what he could the Officer almost to what he would For herein the Scots are more orderly then the English Among our Armies commonly the Souldier gets the greatest share of the spoile the Officers generally being not so earnest at the prey and the English Souldiers are not so easily commanded as the Scots in such a case For the Scots Souldiers will very orderly stand Sentinell at the dore they are appointed to and for some small matter preserve a house with its appurtenances for their Commanders so that the Towne was not especially the best houses spoiled in specie but onely purged by a composition which was fortuitous according as the nature of the Chapmen was some good bargaines some ill And thus was Newcastle reduced which to speake as much truth as the Manifest was a very remarkable service being the onely thing of moment wherein that Army hath been engaged apart from other Forces in England these two yeares And to make this good successe compleat that the Passage from the Coale-Indies might be cleare Tynmouth Castle Commanded by Sir Thomas Riddell out of a sympathy betwixt the Towne-Clerke and the Major of Newcastle was surrendred upon Articles and Garrisons placed in both Towne and Castle by order of the Scots Commanders and Generall After these places thus taken and in this manner setled and the businesse of Fines Compositions at Newcastle dispatched it was time to dispose the Scots Army which had been most of the precedent Winter in the fields to their Winter
