that_o we_o will_v march_v back_o into_o the_o east_n and_o by_o pass_v some_o ferries_n come_v up_o to_o his_o quarter_n at_o tadcaster_n which_o i_o profess_v i_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v but_o i_o

to_o oppose_v the_o enemy_n passage_n into_o the_o country_n or_o to_o give_v he_o battle_n and_o bring_v the_o business_n to_o a_o issue_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o part_n of_o the_o country_n where_o i_o may_v not_o upon_o any_o occasion_n resort_n to_o my_o charge_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o certainty_n if_o the_o enemy_n once_o get_v into_o york_n when_o

enemy_n behind_o that_o may_v have_v march_v hither_o without_o opposition_n and_o as_o my_o captain_n conceive_v may_v have_v take_v the_o castle_n without_o much_o difficulty_n in_o the_o

with_o all_o his_o force_n to_o the_o lord_n fairfax_n and_o he_o be_v very_o ready_a and_o resolve_v to_o do_v so_o i_o design_v captain_n mildem●y_o and_o captain_n al●reds_n troop_n which_o be_v with_o i_o with_o the_o two_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o foot_n send_v i_o from_o sir_n john_n hotham_n to_o march_v with_o he_o and_o in_o respect_n we_o be_v inform_v the_o enemy_n have_v draw_v

next_o day_n to_o scarborough_n which_o i_o think_v be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o disservice_n as_o it_o be_v advantageous_a in_o these_o particular_n i_o strengthen_v the_o garrison_n i_o bring_v a_o

without_o which_o we_o can_v not_o have_v subsist_v till_o this_o time_n and_o though_o by_o these_o reason_n i_o be_v induce_v to_o retreat_n it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o intention_n to_o immure_v myself_o in_o the_o castle_n but_o resolve_v as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v fortify_v the_o same_o and_o leave_v it_o in_o better_a security_n to_o march_v to_o my_o lord_n fairfax_n with_o my_o troop_n and_o such_o a_o number_n as_o can_v be_v spare_v from_o the_o castle_n and_o may_v be_v mount_v for_o dragooner_n which_o i_o have_v perform_v before_o this_o but_o that_o i_o be_v draw_v another_o

tadcaster_n to_o join_v with_o the_o lord_n fairfax_n we_o consider_v that_o the_o castle_n of_o scarborough_n be_v leave_v with_o a_o weak_a garrison_n unfortified_a unprovided_a of_o ammunition_n or_o victual_n and_o as_o the_o place_n seem_v to_o our_o judgement_n to_o be_v of_o great_a importance_n so_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v the_o enemy_n have_v a_o special_a eye_n towards_o it_o that_o if_o all_o our_o force_n shall_v have_v be_v draw_v so_o remote_a from_o scarborough_n the_o enemy_n may_v have_v advance_v thither_o without_o opposition_n and_o have_v be_v master_n of_o

to_o scarborough_n with_o three_o hundred_o foot_n which_o be_v all_o the_o force_n belong_v to_o that_o regiment_n except_o those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o castle_n to_o fortify_v and_o secure_v the_o place_n better_o than_o it_o be_v at_o that_o present_a or_o else_o we_o conceive_v he_o can_v not_o discharge_v the_o trust_n that_o be_v repose_v in_o he_o and_o for_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o castle_n we_o conceive_v the_o same_o be_v well_o fortify_v and_o victual_v that_o a_o garrison_n of_o three_o hundred_o man_n will_v be_v able_a to_o defend_v it_o against_o any_o force_n that_o can_v come_v to_o oppose_v it_o and_o we_o do_v further_o conceive_v the_o same_o to_o be_v a_o place_n of_o very_o great_a consequence_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o he_o who_o be_v commander_n
