A FVLL DECLARATION OF ALL PARTICULERS Concerning the March of the Forces under Collonel Fiennes to Bristoll and their carriage upon their enemies approach AS ALSO A Relation of the late bloody abominable conspiracy against the City of Bristoll as appeareth by the Examinations of the parties disovering their Plot and Intention Together with sundry Letters Annexed With the certaine Information touching the death of WILL KENDALL a Trooper of Collonel Essex who was shot by the said Collonel From a Noble hand Aprill 18. London Printed for R.D. 1643. A more full DECLARATION Of all particulars concerning the March of the Forces under Col. Fiennes to Bristoll their carriage upon their enemies approach Right Honourable I know Colonell Fiennes our Governours modestie to be such that I presume he hath altogether omitted the relation of divers passages and beene sparing in specifying others lest hee should be thought the publisher of his own praises or else to affect them the which he no way doth but such have bin his pains care industry vigilancy in this expedition that I thinke my selfe bound in concience to make a full Narration of all his proceedings since the beginning of our March that you and the Honourable Committee may not onely know it but that he and all under his Command may have their deserved prayses and that infamy and reproach may fall to their lots who have deserved it Let your Honour therefore Deigne to know that on Sunday the fifth of February last Orders were sent by his Excellence to the said Colonel Fiennes his brother Captaine Ihn Fiennes Captaine Walter Longs Lievtenant Captaine Alban Coxe and my selfe to march the next day to Hertly bridge with our Troopes where we were to meete with Captain Mason and his Dragoneers and there were we all to receive further Orders from the said Colonel and accordingly we all met there but as Captaine Coxe and I marched from Wargrove thither wards by Twyford with our Troopes the enemy appeared on the other side of the River in a vaporing manner and told us that they had provided for us entertainment upon the way as we should goe to our Rende-vous whereunto answer was made that they were knowne to be more talkative then active in honourable wayes and therefore they should not make us to digresse one step out of our way and so continued our march although we heard the drums beate and the trumpets sound neere unto the way we were to march till we arrived at the said bridge where wee found the Colonell his brother and Captaine Longs Lievtenant with their troops in battalia expecting to be charged by the enemies who were not farre from thence and we all stayed there at least an houre for Captaine Mason who bringing with him his Lievtenant and some 25. Dragoniers resigned them over to him so we sent away our quarter-Masters to Basing-stoke to take up quarter for us there and whither we marched after them but after their arrivall there they were told by the Constables that 400. of the enemies Forces had appeared but one houre before within a mile of the Towne yet notwithstanding they tooke up quarters for us there and when Colonel Fiennes and I had viewed the advenues to the Towne and made choise of a court of guard we entered thereinto with our Troopes but heard no more of the enemy that night nor the next day as wee marched towards Andever but there we heard that some of their Forces were about Malborough so that the Colonel and I tooke the same care and paines there for our securitie that we had done before and barrocaded up most of the wayes as we found them at Easingstoke and from Andever we marched the next morning towards the Devices and as we passed over Way-hill our scoutes discovered some of the enemies scoutes whereupon wee made an Alarme and sent after them so that two of them were taken the others saved themselves by flight but those that were taken proved to be knowne Malignants of the Countrie and would confesse nothing so that they were released leaving their horses and furniture behinde them and thereupon we continued our march and arrived at the Devices late where we found a great disorder in that garison by reason of the officers overmuch indulgencie towards the souldiers and the souldiers insolency and incivility towards them who were exceeding disobedient and mutinous pretending want of pay to be the cause of it but our Troopes somewhat awed them from the houre of our arrivall and encouraged the Officers to speake of action and the next day being Tueseday occasion was offered for it report being brought thither that the Cavaliers were entred into Ma'msbury yet was the question put at the Counsell of warre whether we should goe thither to beate them out therehence or to Salisbury to disperse a crew of Malignants that were there assembled to assist the High Sheriffe but after much debate although Colonel Fiennes would have had us to march towards Ma'msbury yet by the importunity of Sir Edward Hungerford it was ordered that wee should march to Salisbury on Fryday night with 500. of his foot and our party of horse but on Fryday morning he sent one Stevens of the Devices to the Major of the city to advertise him of our intention and to know if he would facilitate our entrance there or no whereunto he made no answer himselfe although at the delivery of the message he had promised so to doe but intimation was made to the said Stevens to get him gone from thence or else some injury might befall him whereupon he le●t the town and went as if he had had no intention to return towards the Devices so that we heard not of him till ●a●●r●ay tenne of the clocke that wee were within foure miles of the city and then and not before knowing of this message and the Majors proceedings it was determined that wee should enter the city by divers wayes the which was accordingly performed but by means of this advertisement the Sheriffe and other Malignants were fled so that we had nothing to actuate but to get mony and horses and to disarme the citizens But Sir Edward was so indulgent towards them though Malignants that we tooke therehence but very few horses and armes and but 500 li. in money and then being much importuned by some honest men of Bristoll to goe thither with our Forces seeing just cause for it and our Colonel having received two Orders from his Excellence to goe thither it was ordered that it should be so the which being knowne to Sir Edward he intreated us and Lievtenant Colonel White also that we would then passe by the Devices whereunto our Colonel consented and forthwith we left Salisbury to march thither-wards where wee arrived late at night but of our 500 foot 200 thereof disbanded in Salisbury or by the way backe to the Devices and the other 300 quartered by the way but the next morning being a very foule

and snowie morning news was brought to us at the Devices that the enemy was before Shipnam whither wee marched with all expedition although wee had no foot to march thither with us but we found no enemy there so that we entred the Towne and quartered there all night and the next morning we drew our forces into a field betweene the Towne and Malmsbury where we stood in battalia two hours but no enemy appearing wee marched therehence towards the Pathe where we arrived that night and found 200 commanded men of Colonel Essex his Regiment who suffered us to enter the City and to quarter there without any opposition yet did the chiefe commander of them testified the next day by some insolent words and carriage that our forces were not welcome thither but we that were bent to doe our best service to the state and City of Bristoll marched thitherwards where we were welcomed by Colonel Essex Colonel Popham and divers other gentlemen and citizens but being setled there we soone perceived that the then Governour Colonel Essex was much distrusted by the best affected of the City and that those that were then suspected to be Malignants and now approved Conspirators were his most intimate friends and continuall or frequent associates the which incited all well Wishers to Sion and their Countrey to beleeve what had beene said of him by those that perswaded us thither and our now Governour Colonel Fiennes to labour to prevent his evill designes and that he might the better do it he perswaded Colonel Essex and the Committee that was then here to call in all the Citizens armes whereunto he yeelded as also that no man should take them backe againe but such as would take a Protestation to this effect That they should to the uttermost of their power with their lives and fortunes defend this city against all forces that should come against it raysed without consent of Parliament and that they should discover all plots that should bee laid to ensnare and entrap the Forces sent hither for the defence of it by the Parliament I know you have had a copy of it and therefore I will not stay upon it but when these armes were brought into Guild-hall by the Captaines of Colonel Pophams regiment and Colonel Hungerfords and that they were there placed whereas the Major had alwayes kept the key thereof before Colonel Essex now would keepe it himselfe and as is now apparent to no other end but that good men should not have their armes backe againe and that none should be armed but such as he should approve of and what were they as he declared unto me himselfe but Clubbers and now convicted conspirators the which he then termed honest men but as for Bridge-men alias Round-heads as infamous creatures tearme them he protested that they should have no armes backe and as for Captaine Birch Captaine of the Voluntiers he said he was a coward and should have no command and to shew that he was an enemy to him committed him upon so slight an occasion that he was easily perswaded by our Colonel to release him the next morning so that by these meanes the bad grewe to be most insolent and our good and honest men much dejected so that they thought of nothing more then of leaving the city and of carrying avvay their goods supposing it to be betrayed by the said Colonel Essex These vvere the sad complaints and more then murmurings of the good citizens and gentlemen of these parts so that it was novv time to thinke of some courses to prevent these inconveniences and so did Colonel Fiennes vvho communicated unto me an Order that he had received from his Exellence vvhereby he vvas enjoyned to send Colonel Essex to Windsor or the Parliament in case he saw cause for it and having given me reasons to see and know that there was cause so to doe he asked me whether I would assist him in the execution thereof or no the which seeing cause for I promised to doe and promised likewise that all under my command should serve him in it to the uttermost of their powers so that then we consulted of the place and time for it and after deliberation intended to have seized his person on Saturday the 25. of Feb. on which he was to have a coursing day but the day proving very wette he went not but on Munday the 27. he was invited to a feast by one Captaine Hil whither he went his house being a mile from this city whither the Colonell and I went with a party of horse and then and there as he was feasting and revelling with divers Gentlemen and Ladies after his accustomed manner we acquainted him with his Excellencies Order whereunto he promised to obey and to depart therehence forthwith with a partie that wee left there to convoye him to Berkely-Castle but the Governour Colonel Fiennes returning to settle all in good order at Bristoll commanded me to stay with him till his departure but he being gone he began to stand on tearmes and to say that he would goe to his Excellence the straightest way for Windsor and intreated me to move the Colonel that he might doe so whereupon I returned hither and acquainted Colonel Fiennes with it who told me that Prince Rupert was about Basing-stoke or Hertly-bridge so that the surest and safest way would be to go by Glocester I acquainted Colonel Essex with so much that night and intimated unto him and to the Captaines Lievtenant that convoyed him to Windsor that their safest course would be to march that night to Berkly-castle yet would hee not march although he was much urged thereunto by the said Captaine but went to bed and would not march the next day till ten of the clocke that I appeared with a strong party of horse neere to Captaine Hills house wherewithall I convoyed him halfe the way to Berkly-castle but it happened out well that Collonel Fiennes returned the night before to Bristoll as he did otherwise all might have beene in combustion by the insolencie of an Ensigne of Colonel Essex his Regiment who hurt a horse of Captaine Longs Troope to enter into the castle and there offered a great affront to Lievtenant Colonel White whose company was then upon the relieving of of that whereof he was Ensigne both by striking the said Leivetenant Colonell as also by commanding his men to give fire on the other company but Colonel Fiennes hearing of it hasted thither with a party of horse and so the tumult was appeased and the insolent Ensigne imprisoned but these proceedings infinitely enraged our Malignant souldlers and citizens so that they forthwith sent to call Prince Rupert to their assistance the which incited our now Governour to looke about him and to proclaime that those that would take the aforesaid Protestation should have their Armes backe againe and those that would not should see theirs disposed of to those that would and that for the defence of the city
