at last arrived safely in his desired Haven hee found most happy and heart-cheering welcome in his own conscience having like an impregnable Rock held fast his pious principles and withstood and out-stood all the assaults and snares of Papists disloyall Royalists Separatists Anabaptists Antinomians and novell Independents who all strugled and strove to have seduced and ensnared him into their unhappy and unholy L●byrinths of heresie errour and schisme to his Soules ruine but whom I say God did most graciously support and preserve from the danger of them all and returned unto us a most loyall and faithfull friend to Gods glorious Cause and a most constant and courageous professour and propugnatour of untainted Truth which two indeed deck and adorn the flourishing garland of his afflictions and make the Crown of his sufferings most illustrious and glorious But to proceed About the 18 of this instant came certain intelligence by ●eters out of North-wales that since the taking of Radcastle by ●nowned Sir Thomas Middleton whereof wee made mention a little before hee hath also performed much gallant service in those parts and in particular that ●ee sent forth a party of horse and foot into Leigh about a mile from Bishops-castle where the Enemy had left a Garrison which fled away thence before his forces came neer them after this a party of about 20 horse was sent from Mountag●m●ry into R●dnorshire where they took prisoner the Lord Leigh Baron of Du●smore who was then carryed prisoner to Radcastle Sin●e that also the Enemy forsook another Garrison called Leigh●●ll the house of Sir Pelham Corbet in Shropshire And Sir John Price a Gentleman alwayes well-affected to the Parliament though over-powred by his Enemies round about him was forced to conceal it was made Governour of Mountgomery-castle The Country came in very cheerfully to Sir Thomas Middleton upon his summons but were very unwilling to fight so little valou● is there in tho●e who pretend to descend from the ancient Brittaines Upon the 23 of this instant October came the full and certain relation and most joyfull newes to London especially of the taking of Newcastle by ou● honest active loving and loyall brethren of Scotland who as they have all along ever ●ince their first appearing in this great Cause in a war-like man●er and posture shewed themselves most zealous to God and true Religion and therein also most brotherly to us and free from base self-seekings and ignoble by-ends though our most degenerous and rotten-hearted Malignants in City Court and Country have most ignominiously slandered them and most basely and abusively strugled but in vain blessed bee the Lord for it to blemish their untainted honour and honesty heerin so now also in a most eminent manner they have again made it appear to the whole world if men would not bee wilfully or maliciously blinde that they sought not their own ends or to enrich themselves but mainly and only Gods glory and therein ours with their own best good as i● this relation of this glorious and victorious conquest of the Town of Newcastle now by Gods mighty and mercifull assistance and their impregnable valour and fidelity happily subdued to the just obedience of the King and Parliament as now I shall make manifest in this breif and faithfull Narration of the taking of this strong Town by storm which is with all convenient b●evity extracted out of our brethren the Scots own Relation thereof sent to the Parliament and the Scotch Commissioners then resident at or about Westminster which was as followeth Our valiant and most unwearied brethren the Scots having in the time of their lying before this Town of Newcastle out of their Christian and tender pious pity toward the inhabitants therof in generall and great and gracious unwillingnesse to shed blood if possibly it might by any fit and fair means bee avoyded sent divers Letters and mercifull messages to the Town in generall and to and from some speciall cordiall persons in particular before their summons which afterwards was also sent unto them but found all their Christian love and pitty partly with stubbornnesse rejected and partly with scoffes and jeeres derided but especially by the Atheisticall and most desperately Malignant Major of Newcastle Sir John Marley all which their interchangeable Letters and Messages containing Marleys and the Newcastelians answers and our Scotch brethrens patient and pious replies having been fully set forth in that particular and exact relation of all those proceedings by our loyall brethren of Scotland I heer therefore purposely for brevities sake pretermit and shall only acquaint the Reader heer with thus much in particular That after many interchangeable messages and motions on both sides and some seeming agr●ements seeming only I say on Marleys side and hostages mutually given Articles of accord were demanded to bee sent to the Town by noble Generall Lesley which was accordingly done and which said Articles together with the rest of the succeeding passages or Letters sent to each other for the further clearing of our Brethrens integrity and fairnesse therein after the tendring of the Articles of agreement I have thought fit heer to insert which were as followeth Conditions wherupon the Surrender of the Town of Newcastle and Fo●●es thereof with all the Ordnance Ammunition and other Warlike furniture thereto belonging were demanded by his Excellency the Earl of Leven Lord Generall of the Scottish Army to bee kept by him for the use of his Majesty and the Parliament of England 1. THat the Officers and Souldiers who desire to goe out of Town shall have liberty to passe with their Arms Horses bagge and baggage to what place they please the same not being already beleaguered and shall have a safe convoy thither it being within forty miles distance and shall bee accommodate with draughts in their march 2. That all Strangers Residents Sojourners or Inhabitants who desire to goe out of the Town with the aforesaid Officers or Souldiers shall have the like liberty convoy and accommodation 3. That sick and hurt Souldiers shall have all necessary accommodation untill their recovery and shall have a safe conduct as aforesaid 4. That the Citizens Burgesses and Inhabitants shall have their persons houses families and goods kept from violence and shall have the same free liberty of trade and commerce as any other Town reduced to the obedience of King and Parliament 5. That their priviledges liberties and jurisdiction shall bee preserved inviolate conform to their ancient charters in manner above writen 6. If any of the said Citizens Inhabitants or others presently within the Town shall desire to goe and live in their Countrey Houses they shall have protection and safeguard for their persons and estates 7. That no Billet shall bee granted upon any of the Inhabitants without their consent 8. The whole Army shall not enter the Town but onely a competent Garrison Signed LEVEN Provided alwayes that in case these Conditions above writen bee

how far they have advanced towards a generall accord I cannot at present certifie I do not hear they have proceeded so far as to a Treaty and I believe That as the Parliament may be discouraged from that way of Treaty by former experiences of the fruitlesnesse thereof and the ill use the same hath been designed or driven to viz. only to gaine advantages for Wars without reall intention of Peace so the late overtures that way are the lesse like to be successefull by reason of the clear and certaine discoveries the Parliament have had That his Majesty at the same time was and is labouring by Agents in all parts to draw in Forraign Forces and especially That the Earle of Glamorgan by Commission from his Majesty had concluded a Peace with the Irish Rebels on Termes extreamly dishonourable and prejudiciall upon the only condition of sending over forces under the command of that Lord to invade England whereof I presume you cannot but have heard And though his Majesty did in a Letter to the Parliament disavow any such agreement and pretended he had given order to the Lord Digby for the attainting and impeaching the Earle of Glamorgan of high Treason for what he had done therein Yet by late discoveries to the Parliament and especially by Letters intercepted the other day at Padstow from the Lord Digby the Earle of Glamorgan and others to Secretary Nicholas your selfe Sir Edward Hide the Lord Culpepper and others it is most cleare and evident that the arresting of the Earle of Glamorgan was onely for a present colour to salve reputation with the people and continue their delusion till designes were ripe for execution for the same peace is fully concluded with the Rebels the King to have the aid conditioned upon the same agreement and the Earle of Glamorgan at liberty againe and to command that force in chiefe Now for the overture of a meeting to treat further about the Propositions I sent Though I know nothing materiall that I can adde or alter except in circumstances yet I shall not refuse or decline such a meeting or ought else that may probably tend to the saving of blood or preventing further misery to any Provided that the meeting be speedily and number of persons not to exceed 4 or 5. But my Lord when you consider what I have before related concerning forraign Supplies which I have reason to think you know and believe you see what cause I have to be jealous of advantages sought by delayes not intermit any time or omit any opportunity to prosecute the service I have in hand and that there may be no colour of your expecting that forbearance on my part which you offer on yours I do the more hasten back this my resolution unto you In pursuance whereof I do not despise nor shall insult upon your present condition I question not nor yet shall I hope be much moved with that resolution of your men I presume not on former successes nor present advantage in fleshly power but desire to trust in God alone whose favour and blessing to this Army above others I do not account in what is past or expect in future to be for any precedence in merit or goodnesse of ours whereby we should be more pleasing to him than others but from his owne free grace and goodnesse towards his people whose welfare with the common good of the Kingdome we seeke and desire with all faithfulnesse and integrity to pursue And so committing the issue of all to his good pleasure I remaine Your humble Servant T. FAIRFAX March 9. 1645. A List of such as are come in to Sir Thomas Fairfax during the Treaty THirty five Lieutenant Colonels Serjeant Majors and Captains came in March 11. Forty Gentlemen of quality that came in the same day some of great note One hundred Gentlemen and others that have sto●ne away by parties out of the Enemies Quarters Ninty six common Souldiers from Penryn with Arms. Twelve more followed them Forty from Penryn are gone home and have laid down their Armes Colonell Treoanian the Governour of Penryn by Treaty since All the Officers and Souldiers in the Fort and Harbour The Governour of Maus Castle All the Souldiers and Officers there One hundred Officers and Souldiers of Colonell Champernoones Regiment Falmouth by this meanes is ours on that side the Harbour Two thousand Horse at least that are ours by the Treaty Three or foure thousand Arms. About the same time also we received certaine information that Sir William Vaughan having united himself with Colonell De Villier had a resolution to make some new attempt againe in Wales but he and his Company were so well entertained by Captaine Ashley who was not above halfe so many in number that the whole body of the Enemy consisting of about 300 Horse were encountred routed and pursued by ours many of the Enemy slaine and taken prisoners the List whereof was thus in brief five killed upon the place 12 mortally wounded Captain Johnson taken Prisoner two Captains more two Lieutenants one Cornet eighteen other Prisoners and good store of Arms. And by the same Letters we received further intelligence that by the vigilant care of the brave and active Committee of Shrewsbury there was raised a very strong Worke within lesse than Musket shot of High-Archall by meanes whereof the Enemy could not stir either in or out but with their apparent danger And at the erecting of this Fort they tooke their opportunity of the Governour of High-Archals absence and before his returne they had made themselves so strong that although Sir Jacob Ashley came along with him with about 1000 Horse and Foot they were inforced to retreat and go back againe not daring to adventure on a place so gallantly manned and made so inaccessible both by art and nature as that was which indeed was the winning of that strong Garrison as you shall shortly heare in its proper place About the 20 of this instant March we received certaine knowledge of the taking of Shruardon Castle a place of great importance which brave service was performed by that active Patriot and couragious Commander Major Generall Mit●on And much about the same time also we received a full and exact relation of the remarkable successe of valiant and active Colonell Birch before Goderich Castle expressed by himself in his Letter to the Honourable Speaker of the House of Commons which was as followeth Honourable Sir SInce my last the 7 instant finding the forces of Goodrich under command of Sir Henry Lingen so active that a passenger could not be safe between Gloucester and Hereford nor could I quarter Horse abroad but they were in much danger nor could draw for●●● towards Ludlow or Worcester but they would come neer unto the City to plunder therefore I chose rather to run the hazard of storming the House wherein they kept their out-Guard upon their Boats and Stable being within 20 foot of
