A75714	A true relation, of the most chiefe occurrences, at, and since the late battell at Newbery, untill the disjunction of the three armies, of the Lord Generall, the Earle of Manchester, and Sir William Waller, together with the London brigade, under the command of Sir Iames Harrington. Published upon necessity, both to undeceive the mistaken multitude, and to vindicate the Earle of Manchester, from many undeserved aspersions commonly cast upon him, either through ignorance or prejudice. / Penned by Simeon Ash, who as his chaplaine did waite upon his Lordship, in the westerne expedition.	Ashe, Simeon, d. 1662.	1644 (1644)	Wing A3968; Thomason E22_10; ESTC R21597	11,292	15

very_o sensible_o through_o the_o great_a scarcity_n of_o provision_n of_o all_o kind_n our_o soldier_n be_v under_o much_o discontent_n and_o discouragement_n these_o reason_n as_o i_o believe_v move_v our_o return_n to_o newberry_n upon_o wednesday_n and_o the_o same_o night_n some_o of_o the_o enemy_n come_v from_o wallingford_n into_o the_o same_o quarter_n from_o whence_o we_o be_v

and_o although_o many_o among_o we_o give_v little_a or_o no_o credit_n to_o these_o report_n yet_o of_o my_o knowledge_n my_o lord_n manchesters_n cautiousnesse_n be_v such_o that_o hereupon_o he_o
