May 1648. Propositions from Westmerland touchin the Kings Army in the North SIR THe enemies of God and this Kingdoms peace are now in arms in our county of Westmerland after their surprisall of Carlisle they marched into us and possessed themselves of Appleby the Gentlemen of our country before their Generall Sir Marmaduke Lang●ale his advance summoned in our county for and after united wi●h them their strength at first despicable is now increased The Foot generally arrayed and forced Trained Bands of Westmerland and Cumberland Their Quarters are at Kendale Kirkby and the Frontiers of Lancashire their carriage as well as design full of malignancy which sufficiently evidences the falslnesse of their special pretences they plunder divers persons of whom many of us are examples well affected to the Parl. notorious malignant Ministers formerly ejected do thrust us from our congregations advance the Book of Common prayer erect and use the condemned ceremonies sometimes in fashion of cringing bowing c. resolve to cut off the Parl and their Adherents if God prevent not having our hopes very much inlightned by your advance we are here humbly in reference to the premises to beseech That as your own tendernesse of the Kingdoms peace we are confident doth and will oblige you you will vouchsafe to send your assistance in this distressed estate of the Kingdome the more speedily the enemy is discountenanced the lesse danger being likely to fall upon us the advance and engagement of that Briggade of horse with you as our onely hopes to see the honest party in the North relieved and those publike Enemies of God brought th punishment what way to do this wee dare not presume to advise if your power may extend to command the Foot of Lancashire we conceive it would be much for your advantage if not so your conjunction with Gen. Lamberts horse may be a more facile and speedy way of deliverance if it may be appoin●ed upon our Borders To this we have these encouragements in respect of their small number of Horse and forced Foot the resolution of many Lancashire Horse to joyne with you if you can give them any order the especiall confidence we have of God to acknowledge you in this undertaking and our owne resolution to serve the Parliament and you in our utmost endeavours For the right valiant Colonel Blackmore Governour of Warrington Signed By divers of the Gentry and Inhabitants in the County of Westemerland Postscript By Letters out of Lancashire it is certified that sir Marm. Langdale is in Westmerland and hath with him there 16 troops of horse and 2000. Foot the report is that he hath taken the Magazine in that County wherein was 4000. armes and great store of powder many honest people are forced to fly hither out of that county yet are we no wayes discouraged but are resolved to march towards Langdale to prevent his comming further into these parts and wee doubt not but by the 1. of June Col. Harrisons Briggard of horse will in all consist of about 4000 Horse and Foot The Copy of a Letter from the City of York SIR I Doubt not but a short time will produce fresh comforts for the High Sheriff of this County hath declared his great forwardnesse and resolution to raise Forces for the opposing of all that shall obstruct the peace thereof which hath frustrated the designs of many but with some taken effect for Col. Bonivont the la●e Governour of Sandall hath most unhappily seized on the strong castle of Pontefract together with all the arms and ammunition and taken divers prisoners and wounded the Governour It is a businesse of great concernment and if not timely reduced will much retard the work in hand But we heare that Maj. Gen. Lambert hath designed a considerable number of horse and foot for the blocking of them up and hindering provisions from going into them Divers of the adverse party flockes thithar apace and they entertain all that comes having store of armes and provisions Tuesday The Ordinance for indempnity for the Essex men in general which are in arms and shal upon publication thereof lay down past yesterday and this day was ordered to be published at Chelmsford where the greatest part of the Essex men do now recide and there is some cause to believe that they will presently depart to their own homes especially if that report be true that the L. Goring is gone away from Bow to unite himself with Langdale but of that I have not any certainty for it was o●●erwise the last night The L. Gen. Fairfax was this morning at Rochester and hath sent col Rich his Reg. of horse and some troops of Dragoons towards Canterbury and Dove● for that intelligence was brought that some disturbances continued thereabouts If the Essex men lay not downe and do not take the benefit of that Ordinance his Excellency with the rest of his Army is expected to cross the River into that county There are divers ships designed to fetch in those five which are revolted they were sayling towards the Isle of Wight and by a tempest are said to be carryed neer upon the coast of the Irish Seas the men which are gone in them are much divided amongst themselves when any other ships appear it is believed that Lendall the Bostons Mate which took on him as Vice-Admiral will by the rest that are with him be brought to answer for his great and dangerous presumption Imprimatur G.
