we_o three_o day_n before_o the_o king_n come_v that_o in_o all_o probability_n his_o design_n be_v for_o leicester_n to_o that_o we_o answer_v that_o what_o sir_n john_n gell_n write_v be_v but_o probable_a and_o uncertain_a and_o cole-overton_n be_v a_o garrison_n within_o canonshot_n of_o ashby_n and_o have_v exceed_o weaken_a they_o both_o in_o reputation_n and_o strength_n and_o be_v the_o preserver_n of_o all_o the_o northern_a trade_n to_o london_n and_o of_o as_o great_a consequence_n as_o any_o small_a garrison_n in_o england_n which_o make_v we_o unwilling_a to_o quit_v that_o place_n but_o upon_o undoubted_a intelligence_n of_o the_o king_n resolution_n for_o leicester_n have_v we_o quit_v that_o garrison_n and_o the_o king_n go_v northward_o of_o which_o we_o have_v probable_a intelligence_n those_o careful_a gentleman_n of_o quality_n than_o have_v have_v one_o just_a complaint_n at_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v blush_v the_o next_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o reply_n make_v by_o sir_n robert_n pie_n and_o major_a inn_n after_o the_o town_n be_v summon_v both_o of_o they_o then_o question_v whether_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o town_n be_v sufficient_a to_o defend_v it_o against_o the_o king_n army_n which_o major_a inn_n answer_n say_v that_o upon_o view_n at_o the_o post_n they_o find_v but_o four_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o soldier_n our_o reply_n be_v that_o if_o he_o mean_v list_a soldier_n under_o the_o committee_n beside_o townsman_n it_o approach_v near_o unto_o truth_n there_o be_v of_o those_o about_o five_o hundred_o colonel_n grey_n in_o his_o march_n to_o the_o work_n have_v in_o his_o company_n two_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o be_v account_v by_o sir_n robert_n pie_n captain_n farmer_n have_v one_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o captain_n hurst_n have_v one_o hundred_o twenty_o and_o nine_o lieutenant_n colonel_n battersby_n about_o fifty_o there_o be_v also_o about_o nine_o hundred_o townsman_n and_o 150_o of_o the_o countryman_n and_o this_o computation_n rise_v near_o to_o sixteen_o hundred_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v say_v that_o sir_n robert_n pie_n desire_v the_o committee_n that_o team_n may_v be_v in_o a_o readiness_n for_o remove_v the_o cannon_n from_o place_n to_o place_n but_o that_o not_o a_o horse_n or_o team_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o readiness_n for_o that_o service_n whereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o all_o the_o team_n in_o the_o town_n be_v in_o readiness_n and_o many_o of_o they_o employ_v to_o bring_v wooll-pack_n bag_n of_o hops_n and_o other_o necessary_n to_o stop_v the_o breach_n and_o to_o supply_v we_o with_o what_o be_v want_v and_o this_o do_v appear_v to_o be_v so_o because_o there_o be_v but_o two_o cannon_n desire_v to_o be_v remove_v the_o one_o from_o the_o horse-fair_a leyes_n to_o the_o breach_n in_o the_o newarke_n and_o the_o other_o from_o the_o high_a cross_n to_o the_o north_n mill_n which_o be_v do_v according_o the_o next_o charge_n be_v that_o the_o committee_n do_v not_o keep_v promise_n with_o sir_n robert_n pie_n to_o keep_v three_o hundred_o man_n upon_o the_o main_a guard_n we_o say_v that_o we_o make_v no_o such_o promise_n neither_o be_v it_o suitable_a to_o the_o town_n strength_n have_v so_o large_a a_o work_n to_o man_n yet_o the_o enemy_n find_v a_o main_a guard_n which_o cost_v many_o of_o they_o their_o life_n and_o we_o have_v many_o prisoner_n also_o that_o while_o we_o be_v in_o sight_n violent_o press_v for_o liberty_n so_o that_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o draw_v off_o some_o musquetier_n from_o the_o main_a guard_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o order_n we_o consent_v with_o major_a inn_n that_o it_o be_v a_o vast_a line_n but_o under_o his_o favour_n we_o differ_v upon_o the_o defence_n of_o it_o for_o fifteen_o hundred_o man_n can_v half_o man_v it_o against_o a_o great_a army_n which_o we_o foresee_v endeavour_v the_o fortify_v of_o the_o newarke_n the_o work_n be_v near_o four_o mile_n in_o circuit_n and_o we_o desire_v every_o man_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o enemy_n hand_n and_o that_o sir_n thomas_n fairfax_n come_v against_o it_o the_o enemy_n have_v as_o many_o more_o force_n as_o ever_o we_o have_v in_o it_o all_o our_o arm_n and_o ammunition_n the_o train_v band_n be_v call_v in_o to_o their_o assistance_n &_o the_o country_n compel_v to_o fortify_v &_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o think_v it_o not_o safe_a for_o they_o to_o stand_v upon_o their_o defence_n but_o yield_v without_o any_o assault_n at_o all_o it_o be_v also_o aver_v that_o sir_n robert_n pie_n and_o major_a inn_n declare_v they_o will_v contribute_v their_o best_a endeavour_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o town_n which_o they_o say_v they_o full_o perform_v to_o this_o we_o answer_v we_o can_v justify_v they_o in_o this_o particular_a but_o say_v that_o if_o major_a inn_n do_v any_o such_o service_n at_o the_o breach_n in_o the_o newarke_n by_o his_o favour_n we_o know_v not_o how_o he_o come_v there_o for_o his_o post_n be_v assign_v he_o at_o st_n margaret_n churchyard_n and_o the_o west_n bridge_n and_o to_o that_o ground_n he_o be_v bring_v by_o colonel_n grey_n and_o master_n hasilrigge_n two_o of_o the_o committee_n which_o ground_n he_o profess_v to_o maintain_v or_o loose_v his_o life_n but_o the_o enemy_n enter_v at_o the_o north_n mill_n within_o that_o line_n and_o betwixt_o belgrave_n gate_n and_o humberston_n gate_n close_o by_o that_o line_n and_o the_o horse_n at_o belgrave_n gate_n and_o thus_o plain_o yet_o true_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o deal_v with_o he_o to_o vindicate_v our_o own_o soldier_n from_o unjust_a charge_n we_o know_v no_o officer_n of_o we_o that_o forsake_v his_o post_n nor_o we_o suppose_v that_o any_o man_n of_o honour_n will_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o and_o not_o to_o disparage_v his_o service_n we_o have_v at_o the_o breach_n in_o the_o newarke_n commander_n and_o soldier_n both_o horse_n and_o foot_n as_o valiant_a and_o try_a man_n as_o be_v any_o where_n to_o be_v find_v as_o both_o friend_n and_o enemy_n can_v witness_v and_o have_v they_o not_o enter_v elsewhere_o they_o must_v not_o have_v enter_v there_o though_o major_a inn_n have_v be_v away_o our_o man_n do_v their_o part_n and_o there_o take_v two_o of_o the_o enemy_n colour_n and_o pluck_v divers_a of_o their_o pike_n out_o of_o their_o hand_n and_o beat_v the_o enemy_n back_o four_o several_a time_n this_o be_v truth_n and_o we_o do_v again_o aver_v it_o to_o be_v true_a which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o narration_n that_o we_o do_v disperse_v ourselves_o to_o several_a part_n in_o the_o town_n to_o supply_v what_o be_v want_v in_o ammunition_n or_o otherwise_o in_o distribute_v money_n and_o provision_n to_o the_o soldier_n and_o to_o encourage_v they_o some_o one_o among_o we_o distribute_v ten_o pound_n of_o his_o own_o money_n among_o they_o beside_o what_o other_o do_v and_o if_o any_o have_v want_n of_o meat_n or_o money_n it_o may_v be_v their_o own_o fault_n absent_v themselves_o from_o the_o work_n and_o that_o the_o committee_n very_o seldom_o appear_v at_o the_o work_n it_o be_v also_o false_a and_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o that_o scandellous_a malice_n the_o pamphlettor_n without_o any_o just_a cause_n express_v both_o towards_o we_o and_o our_o soldiery_n through_o the_o whole_a pamphlet_n which_o he_o injurious_o and_o senseless_o prosecute_v against_o captain_n hacker_n tax_v he_o with_o make_v a_o escape_n through_o the_o breach_n at_o which_o the_o enemy_n enter_v after_o five_o repulse_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v take_v near_o humberston_n if_o this_o have_v be_v true_a as_o it_o be_v not_o it_o have_v be_v a_o honour_n to_o he_o to_o break_v out_o in_o the_o face_n of_o a_o enemy_n and_o not_o at_o a_o back_n door_n or_o to_o hide_v himself_o under_o a_o table_n the_o truth_n indeed_o be_v that_o when_o the_o enemy_n have_v break_v in_o on_o the_o contrary_a line_n and_o come_v upon_o the_o back_n of_o they_o in_o the_o newarke_n then_o captain_n hacker_n with_o divers_a other_o get_v over_o the_o river_n at_o the_o pike_n head_n and_o be_v all_o take_v on_o that_o side_n the_o river_n towards_o bramstone_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o humberstone_n and_o whereas_o the_o author_n go_v on_o to_o make_v captain_n hacker_n name_v the_o burden_n to_o a_o

his_o troop_n which_o according_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o

as_o a_o light_n from_o his_o horse_n but_o draw_v out_o his_o force_n and_o march_v towards_o colonel_n rossiter_n and_o be_v within_o half_a a_o mile_n of_o he_o where_o news_n come_v to_o he_o that_o colonel_n rossiter_n be_v rout_v nevertheless_o he_o march_v towards_o the_o enemy_n until_o captain_n collins_n of_o burley_n not_o captain_n collinson_n meet_v he_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o
