merchandize and took te owners prrisoners and have sent them afterward home almost naked and without hat coat or dublet that te cold might be guilty of their bloodshed and to shew te Cruelty of te Barber or Chyrurgion they cut off one mans nose or lips and some of his skull as if they would make him an Anathomy and reade Lectures over him as they doe in the Surgeons Hall But indeed the Rebells endeavour is to ruine and extinguish te Protestants quite out of te Realme Her doe love to see peace exceedingly both in the Common-wealth and in her house and there is a kinde of glimmering light of peace that doth breake through the Cloud of warre for the French Ambassadour hath lately by his letter sent unto te Houses moved for the procuring of a peace and her do wish with aul te heart in her pelly that there were peace between her King and Parliament but how can that be by shedding of plood if aul Protestants be brethren must her kill one another as Kain killed Abel at the beginning of the Wold no no if her King and Parliament would agree then her might live at quiet on her Mountains if her could see that day her would have aul te bells to ring in Wales make Bonfire of her bushes

and comming suddainly upon them put te enemy into such a fright that they were absolutely dispersed and routed many killed and about 400. taken prisoners among te rest Colonell Huddleston their chief Commander and afterward her returned to Thurland Castle which was presently surrendred and demolished Her doe wonder that te malignants dare so often appeare in te open field unlesse te reason is that

Providence letting victorious garlands fall down on te heads of te Parliaments Souldiers for te truth of te Protestant Cause is creat and shall in te conclusions prevail over te Papists and malignants But all matters run not even in te affaires of Warr for te creat work at Plymmouth called Mount Stamford is taken by te enemy and they doe want chiefly admonition her should say Ammunition which te Parliament will spedily send them All te Townesmen have entred into a solemn Oath to live and dye together and to oppose te enemy by standing it out to te last man which is indeed as a prave Resolution as if they had been aul descended from her auncient Prittish Worthy Owen Glendor for he that would win a victory or a faire Mistris must alwayes stand stiffely to the matter Her have read that in old times mighty Gyants live in inchanted Castles and her doe now hear that a creat company of Malignants live so strongly fortifyed in Bazing House so that Sir William Waller hath drawn his foot forces from thence to Farnham Castle for te walls be as thick as those of Plutoes Court where he doth live with his malignant Queen Proserpine and there be many malignant Ladies and other women within the Castle from the walls whereof the women threw brickbats on our Souldiers heads and bid te Souliers Come up Round-heads if ye dare and no doubt but her will hereafter come up and take away aul her gold and silver that doth lie buried in te gound in te sheets From Scotland her be informed that when they heard that te Article of accord from te Parliameut with te advance money were put to sea they presently gave order to draw their Forces into Body whereby they might be in te more readinesse to advance into England so that they will make te Earl of Newcastle fly from place to place
