Davis Carmarthen 13. April 1648. An exact Relation of the late Fight in the North. SIR Here hath of late been a rising in these parts but quelled almost as soon as undertaken it was occasioned by a Black-coat who preached here whose doctrine being not altogether right the souldiers found fault with it and offered to foyl him at his own weapons this was agreed to and the time and place for dispute appointed but in stead of convicting them he assaulted them and with certain Farmers anp a few rustical fellows hee fel upon the Souldiers and beat them out of the Town but all is quiet now and the chief Actors apprehended and taken and are to answer it before a Councel of War Sandhill Aprill 15. 1648. By Letters from the North intelligence was received of a strange accident or rather a miracle which hapned in those parts Also a Gent. who was an eye-witnesse and saw the same did testifie both by word of mouth and under his hand writing doth affirm that at Shereborn in Yorkshire on the 24. day of this last March in the afternoon arose a great storm beginning first with Rain which was powred downe in great abundance aftes which instantly succeeded a mighty showr of Hayl being powred down with such an extraordinary force violence that it brake mrny glasse windows kil'd Geese Ducks and other such feeble creatures as wanted shelter After the haile was over their issued out of the Aire a great showr of wheat so that in some places it covered the gronud it was in all respects like unto the commou wheat whereof bread is made both for colour form but that it was something of a more sad or darke colour then our ordinary wheat It hath been likewise testified by others affirmed that the poor people gathered up some of it made bread thereof which they eat found it in operation like unto other ordinary bread that bread was something for colour and tast like unto bread made of Rye The fore-mentioned haile-stones were of a very great bignesse many of them being as big as smal Wal-nuts or Nutmegs and some bigger also this hail was so hard that some carryed them 4 or 5 miles in their pockets to shew and yet they were not melted The people in those parts which saw it are very much amazed at it some think it to be a sign of a famine others think it to be a signe that Bread-corn or Wheat or Rye or the like in Harvest shall be destroyed by some extraordinary storm of Haile or Raine or some such accident but none can assuredly tell what it prognosticates but surely such strange and unusual things are signes of some great alterations At Edinburgh the expectation of the malignants are great and reports variable but little concluded on only we hear that they are resolved that an army shal be sent into England and although many wil not be perswaded to believe it yet it may now more easily be gathered that such a thing is intended and wil speedily be effected if not prevented for the Scots army draws Southward and many of them are ordered to be quartered neer the Borders the Lord Belcarouse Troop have taken up their quarters within five miles of Berwick having order so to doe Many other Troopes have quarters assigned them in the South of Scotland and especialy in the Townes and Villages nrer adjoyning to England also from other parts of Scotland we perceive the Scots Forces to creep Southward but they are wary and do it by little and little the better to avoid suspition but if their intents are as is suspected England may chance to frustrate their designs and the Scots after all their jugling be deceived of their expectations The Parliament of Scotland have given answer to the English Commissioners papers but it is said to be very unsatisfactory and that they refer the substance of all to their own Commissioners who are comming into England of whom the Lord Lee is one to treat with the Parliament and have Propositions and instructions given them to treat about setling Religion according to the Covenant for the King his removall to one of his houses and a personall treaty with him as also for disbanding the Army and other Propositions that I have not as yet the certainty of the difference between the Clergy and state is as great as ever they will by no meanes consent to the raising of men although listing in divers parts of this Kingdome 't is supposed 't will be speedily effected and because many of the Commanders of the standing Forces of this Kingdome do not concur with them in this design those Forces are to be disbanded and the Earl of Calender is to be General of their new Modell insomuch that the Cavees and English Fugitives grow very high treating ruine and destruction to the Parliament and their Adherents But indeed some dayes there are great hopes of an agreement and other days the distance is so farre as scarce any man shal know how neer they are to have an Army many English men are at Edenburgh and they doe dayly increase Another great ship came to Leeth Rode on Fryday night last what she is is not yet known but a flying Report of the Prince being in her but no certainty Some Irish Rebels are come into some of the Scots Islands and the Marq. of Argyles Regiment are directed with some others to march towards them This is all I earnestly request a correspondency weekly and where I shal direct my Letter unto you that I may take the occasion to subscribe my self Your oblieged servant R. S. Barwick 16 April 1648.

That they will be pleased to consult with the Ministers of the Kirk in relation to their proceedings touching the Kingdome of England 2.
