Northwich where I was and where we had begun to fortifie and place a Garrison we conceived this attempt of most dangerous consequence and therefore thought fit to allow them no rest nor to give them time to Fortifie To this end there was a strong party of Horse went out from Northwich upon Saturday night last upon their first comming there who gave them an Alarm The next day being the Sabbath could not be observed it being the worke of the whole day to prepare for our defence and how to annoy our Enemy towards whom I went out upon Sunday in the afternoon with betwixt two and three Troops of Horse and betwixt two and three Companies of Dragooners who went neere to Middlewich and gave them an Alarm there but without any intention to assault them in their Quarters they being very strong in Foot and well armed and we had no Foot at all then there our greatest care being to preserve the Country from Plundring and let the enemy know we durst looke them in the face and come even to the very doore This evening March 12. being Sunday we resolved and concluded to meet the Namptwich Forces the next morning who were appointed to come unto us by six of the clock in the morning But we were in fight neere foure houres before they came in to our assestance during which time they playd full upon us with their Canon but without any success at all there being only one or two men hurt but not mortally During which time our Musquetiers we had not above 200. our greatest force of Foot being at Namptwich behaved themselves very gallantly and made good three passages and kept the enemy in play till the Namptwich Forces came in to our assistance who came on so resolutely and with such undauntednesse of spirit even to the amazement and admiration of the enemy whom they beat from their works and from their Cannon And as they entred one end of the Town our Souldiers entred the other end with no lesse courage and resolution Colonell Ellis Serjeant Major Gilner Sir Edward Moseley and ten Captaines more besides all other Officers a List of whose Names you shall find here inclosed who betook themselves to the Church and Steeple from whence they did much annoy us for some short time but within an houre after the Lord was pleased to make us possessors of the Church and Steeple and of the Commanders and Souldiers that were therein and of their Ordinance Magazine and great store of Arms so as I beleeve since the beginning of this unnaturall Warre God hath not given many more compleater Victories nor hath there been many more Prisoners taken there being not many fewer than 500 Prisoners and very many of them commanders and considerable persons I desire the whole praise and glory may be attributed to Almighty God who infused courage into them that stood for his cause and strucke the enemie with terrour and amazement For farther particulars I must referre you to a fuller relation We heare nothing from London how thing goe there but our confidence is in the Lord of heaven to the protection of whose Providence I desire to commend you and so conclude and Rest Namptwich 15.
