use of his Forces in the said Town About the 24. of this instant also came most certain information by Letters from Notingham to London of a most admirable and marvellous deliverance of the said Town and Castle from a most bloody plot intended against it by the Kings base and bloody Cormorants and also a very great Victory obtained by the Town and Castle upon the said Enemies on the happy discovery thereof which was thus related Some Horses laden with sacks went from Newcastle toward Notingham and about 30. Cavaliers or treacheâ—ous Cormorants with them some of them in the habits of plain Country men others of them like unto homely country-women in womens apparrell see here the devillish audacity and craft of the sons of darknesse who all with great confidence and undaunted audaciousnesse passed thus along as if they had been going to Nottingham Market but comming to the Court of Guard they were examined and made answer That they had brought corn to sell in the Market But it pleased God that some of the Souldiers perceived something to stick out in the supposed womens bosomes which bred an occasion of some mistrust and the Captain of the Guard being there and taking it into consideration he caused the women to be layd hold on and to be searched and withall bad the seeming Country-men to shut out the corn in a place which he had appointed them and promised to pay for it which they could no wayes avoyd but go they must though but with heavie hearts in which mean time the women were searched who in the search proved men and every one of them provided of his weapon under their coats which it seems was that which stuck out so and the pretended sacks of corn being emptied were found to be powder Pistols and Match Hereupon these couzening Cormorants were further examined but were very unwilling to confesse the Plot for all this onely they said they were sent as Spies from Newark but the prudent Governour before whom they were now brought seriously examining the businesse and being too old a bird to be caught or couzend with such chaffe took match and caused their fingers to be tyed therewith and told them what they must trust to except they would speedily discover the Plot. Hereupon they fearing presently to be trust up protested they would make the Plot fully and faithfully known unto them that they were sorry they were so unfortunate to go about so wicked a design and confest as follows That in the night these Cormorants and ten more being in all about 40. in number should with their pistols and other weapons have fallen upon the Court of guard on a sudden and so put them all to the sword at which time a party of horse and foot should be ready to march into the Towne and put all to the sword that stirr'd to make any the least resistance and thus to take all into their owne hands and they assured them that the said strength of horse and foot would certainely be there that night Whereupon the most valiant and vigilant Governour being not a litle joyfull that it had thus graciously pleased the Lord to discover this plot prepared that night for the enemies comming and had provided a strength to be ready at the time appointed who just accordingly as 't was made knowne came that night and being discovered by Nottingham forces our men couragiously issued out and set upon them speedily put them to the rout and retreat took prisoners between 2 and 300 of them and had they not wheeled about so soon there could scarce have a man of them escaped them the rest fled away in great disorder some swam over the river to save their lives for haste others betook them to horse back some to hedges to hide themselves for the time and there were afterward about an 100. found dead in the river who it seemes were in their hasty flight drowned and our men took above 300 Armes and many Horse besides the admirable and blessed deliverance from this base Plot and their barbarous intended cruelty therein And here good Reader I may very fitly there not having fallen out any other matter of great concernment this moneth cast Anchor and give our Arke a little rest in the harbour of this Mount-Ararat a little while to re-collect our serious thoughts and most gratefull recogitations and summary reperusalls of all the most excellent and eminent mercies and rich Parliamentary-merchandizes of this moneths prosperous Voyage through the boysterous and billowing Ocean of our Kingdomes sad intestine bloody distractions and disturbances As namely First in reciting renowned Col. Massyes brave surprisall of Colonell Sir Henry Talbot in his Quarters with the brave prizes and purchace obtained thereby In valiant and virtuous Sir Iohn Meldrums taking of the Isle of Axholme in Yorkeshire The happy prudent and politick establishment of a Councill of State for the more sute and secret managing of the most important affaires of all the three Kingdomes of England Scotland and Ireland The happy and timely discovery of the dangerous plot against Southampton The nullifying and foolifying of the Oxonian Propositions for a falsely pretended Peace thereby to have retarded and prejudiced the Parliaments proceedings together with the sequestring and selling away of Malignants goods for the publike use immediately thereupon setled and resolved on The many various and victorious defeates and performances of the Parliaments Forces both by the noble and renowned Lord Fairfaix Sir William Constable in the North and the rest of the Parliaments Forces in the Westerne parts of the Kingdom interception of dangerous Letters to the State and other successefull enterprises The happy and holy resolution of our most famous Parliamentary Statists in confirming and expatiating the progresse of the Solemn-League or Covenant throughout the whole Kingdome of England and Dominions of Wales to be taken by all of all sorts of people in Cities or Couâ—tries within their power and jurisdiction In the singular good successe yet further enlarged by the good hand of God unto us in the North by Sir William Constable at Sea by Captaine Swanley at Milford-Haven by Colonell Mitton and the mighty preservation of Cheshire The pious and prudent care taken by our Religious Parliamentary Senators for the regulating of the Government of the Church and about Preachers in London And lastly in the good successe of our Parliamentary Forces in Northampton Yorke Pool and the marveilous deliverance of Nottingham Town and Castle from that most desperate and deepe designe by the Royall Cormorants together with the brave Victory which God gave unto ours there immediatly upon the discovery of that pestilent Plot. All which religiously recollected and wisely reviewed will amount to thus much even a copious Cornucopia of rare and faire Mercies of the Lord still continued and enlarged to worthlesse and wretched England a scelerous and very sinfull Nation yet I say all these
now having thus happily finished this Months Voyage I shall desire to cast Anchour and put to shore and make a little stay desiring the Christian Reader with me to make a briefe review and succinct recitall of all the rich Merchandize of this Moneths Voyage the better to raise up our soules to a just and gratfull valuation and admiration of them As First the brave defeat and repulse of the Enemies at Plymouth And Colonell Foxes valiant and active performances and taking of Budely-house in Worcestershire The most successefull progresse of the most renowned Earle of Manchesters Forces in Lincolnshire and taking of the Towne and Castle of Lincolne The Pious Ordinance of Parliament for the demolishing of all Organs and Superstitious Monuments of Popery in Churches and Chappels or else where together with valiant Captaine Swanleys yet farther brave exploits in Wales And Colonell Massies at or about Gloucester The brave Citizens of Londons Petition for the re-establishment of the State-Committee and the happy result thereof Together with more of renowned Colonell Massies brave performances about the adverse Garrisons neere Gloucester Lyme Stormed and its Enemies bravely repulsed The renowned Lord Generalls advance of his Army Westward and a day of Humiliation set a part in London to seeke the Lord for a blessing on it And Devon and Corwalls defection from the bloody and barbarous Irish A most devillish designe and pestilent plot to have undone Scotland and England too by a divertive Warre but most blessedly crost and prevented with the discomfiture and disgrace of those that plotted and acted it A brave and briefe description of the state of that famous Garrison at Lime Together with a brave prize taken at Sea by the most noble Earle of Warwicks Ships And Kents pious pattern of gratitude to God for its great deliverance The truely Noble Earle of Pembrookes love and loyalty to the Parliament attested Cawood-castle And Ayremouth Isle and Fort taken by valiant and virtuous Sir Iohn Meldrum in the Northerne parts of the Kingdome The most renowned Lord Generals prosperous progresse and advance with his Army into the West Valiant Captain Temples brave exploit at Islip The gratulatory Message sent by the Parliament in England to the Parliament in Scotland More of renowned Colonel Masseys admirable activity and the Parliaments most worthy gratifying of his good Service And lastly Englands great wonder to Gods great glory in the famous Muster of so many thousand Souldiers in and about the City of London all compleatly Armed notwithstanding so many Armies abroad in the Field before it The taking of Russell-house that notoriously theevish Garrison Together with the brave defeate given to Newarke by Nottingham Garrison And the brave condition of that famous Towne of Lime notwithstanding the long and tedious Siege against it All which being rightly regarded and seriously laid to heart have we not still great and just cause to see and say that God hath most triumphantly carried and borne up his holy Arke the Parliaments blessed Cause above all the raging and roaring billowes and swelling surges of the turbulent Ocean of this our greatly distracted and disturbed Nation carrying it on I say most smoothly with pleasant gales of good things bestowed and preserving it most happily from malice and mischiefe threatned And therefore how great cause hath England in almost infinitely bounden gratitude to confesse with holy David and sincerely to say Lord thou art good and thou doest good And therefore also to exult and rejoyce in the Lord our God yea and as good David saith To make our boast of God all the day long and to praise his name for ever and ever With a Selah Especially since as the holy Spirit of God himselfe declareth in Hannahs sweet Song There is none holy as the Lord for indeed there is none beside him neither is there any Rocke like our God Talke no more therefore so exceeding proudly ô yee Atheisticall Malignants and Popish Irish-Rebels let not such arrogancie come out of your mouth for the Lord is a God of knowledge and by him actions are weighed Yea and as holy Iob saies He is most wise in heart and mighty in strength Who hath hardned himselfe against him and hath prospered ANd now I shall againe put out our blessed Barke to Sea hoise up our Sailes and launch forth into the Deepe and prosecute this our next ensuing Moneths Voyage wherein we shall see how the Lord still carries on his glorious Arke the Parliaments Cause above all the furious Floods and raging Waves of its outragious and impious Adversaries And in the first place I shall desire to remember the Reader how it most graciously pleased the Lord to bring off his blessed Arke from a very dangerous and death-threatning Shelfe of devouring Quick-sands and most safely and securely to set it afloat againe carrying it on with most pleasant and prosperous gales I meane the happy and honourable releiving and raising of the Seige of that long beseiged and greatly straightned famous Towne of Lime in Dorsetshire a most full exact and true relation wherof sent in a Letter to a friend at London and comming to my hands I have thought fit here to insert for the Readers better content and satisfaction which was as followeth An exact and true relation of the relieving of the most resolute Garrison of Lime in Dorsetshire Sir I Have written one Letter to you since I came into this Bay where also I have received yours I blesse God for present health onely much sadnesse of spirit is contracted from the sad spectacles which besieged Lime continually offers to our view a Towne which deserves aboundance of pitty and love they being so constantly under the violence of a cruell Enemy But God hath brought our most noble Lord Admirall to this Towne to a singular purpose it tending directly to the preserving of that distressed Towne it not having in it at his Lordships comming above a dayes bread and a small quantity of ammunition There were then in the Town 4000 Soules whereof a 1000 in garrison who though they wanted shoes stockings cloathes and pay and had not departed from Lyme since the beginning of the siege yet were all of them resolved to stand out to the last man and when they could doe no more to breake through the Enemy with their swords At my Lords first comming he sent on shoar neere 40 barrels of powder and some match which came along with his Lordship purposely for their reliefe The ships under his Lordships Command did before his comming spare what provisions they could none comming from any other parts and the passages by sea being neer blockt up his Lordship contracted for 350. l. worth of corn and other provisions being then bound for Plymouth to be sold there and tooke order to send it into the Towne himsefe undertaking the price The condition and courage of the besieged did so prevail with our seamen
