was the rise and occasion of a most triumphant faith and joy in him expecting that GOD would do great things by small means and by the things that are not bring to nought things that are A happy time when the Lord of hosts shall make his Tabernacle in the hearts and countenances of our chief Commanders from thence to laugh his enemies to destruction and have them in derision to confusion Had not Major gen Skippon done gallantly he had not received such an early wound in his side and had he not had a Spring of Resolution he had not stayed in the field as he did till the battel was ended for being desired by his Excellencie to go off the field he answered He would not stirre so long as a man would stand That I mention not all those Officers and Souldiers particularly who behaved themselves so gallantly in this Action is to avoyd emulation and partiality I shall satisfie my self to adde concerning them and the whole businesse the words of the General and Lieutenant-General in their several Letters to the Speaker of the house of Commons with which I shall conclude * Lieut. Gen. Cromwels close of his Letter to the Speaker of the house of Commons Honest men served you faithfully in this action Sir they are trusty I beseech you in the name of God not to discourage them which they have not done blessed be God and I hope never will He proceeds and wisheth This action may beget thankfulnesse and humility in all that are concerned in it And concludes thus modestly himself He that ventures his life for the liberty of his Country I wish he trust GOD for the liberty of his Conscience and You for the Liberty he fights for c. The close of the Generals Letter to the Speaker All that I desire sayes the General is That the honour of this great never to be forgotten mercy may be given to GOD in an extraordinary day of Thanksgiving and that it may be improved to the good of his Church which shall be faithfully endeavoured by Sir Your most humble Servant Thomas Fairfax After the Battel was ended and the Horse gone in pursuit the Army marched 5 miles that night to Harborough the head-querter Most of the Prisoners that were taken in the fight were that night brought into Harborough church except those that were wounded and sent to Northampton Among other Writings taken in the Battel there was a Manuscript presented to the General written by one Sir Edward Walker Herald of Arms of the Kings great Victories in this War wherein there was one passage very observable That whereas he taking occasion to speak of the Irish cals them Rebels the King having perused the Book among the alterations he had made therein in divers places with his own hand in that place puts out Rebels and writes over the head Irish with his own hand so much care was there to correct and qualifie any Expression that might reflect on those blood-thirsty Rebels There was also brought to the head-quarter at wooden Image in the shape of a man and in such a form as they blasphemously called it the God of the Roundheads and this they carried in scorn and contempt of our Army in a publike manner a little before the Battel begun The next day Colonel Iohn Fiennes with his Regiment was sent up to London by the General with the Prisoners and Colours taken in the Fight His Regiment took 11. Colours in the Battel Who had a great share in the performance of that Day being placed with his Regiment in the Right wing of Horse carried himself gallantly and was very happy in his successe CHAP. VI. The Victory at Naseby improved by pursuing the Enemy who fled into Wales Leicester not long before taken by the Enemy summoned and after preparations for Storm surrendred upon Articles Some clamours of the Enemy for breach of Articles found to be unjust and the charge retorted on them A● instance of the Enemies desperate Prophanenesse joyned with barbarous and inhumane Cruelty THe Enemy thus driven out of the field his Excellencie gave Orders for the Army Horse Foot and Train to march after them the next day which was Lords day without any more intermission the pursuing of the Victory being of parallel consequence with the getting it In obeying of which Orders the readinesse and chearfulnesse of the Souldiers was admirable and worthy our observation and remembrance That when in respect of their long and hard March for many dayes together before the Battel and the vehement and sharp battel they had fought they might well have pleaded for some time of refreshment yet no sooner was the Generals order given for marching but they repaired all to their Colours and that very next day after the battel marched to great Glyn the head-quarter four miles short of Leicester The Horse marched within a mile of Leicester that night and kept Guards which so alarm'd the Nobles and Gentry that had fled thither for security that they departed thence in much haste leaving the Lord Hastings to defend that place This day his Excellencie received intelligence that Sir Iohn Gell with about 2000 Horse was on his march towards the Army according to Orders formerly sent him as also that the King with one part of the Routed horse not judging himself safe in Leicester went thence that evening to Ashby-de-la-Zouch where he reposed himself some few houres but understanding that our Army advanced and that our Horse pursued the chase Mounted on horse-back in the night and fled to Liechfield and from thence into Wales without any considerable stay so great was the affright the other part of the Rout being the Northern horse under Sir Marmaduke Langdale fled the same night near Newark both passing so that it was the wonder of all men how they being in such a tired and distracted condition could escape Sir Iohn Gels horse who the same day were on their march from Nottingham towards Leicester This day furnished his Excellency with a full intelligence of the state both of our friends and our enemies affaires in the West by meanes of the contrivement of Scout-Master-generall the manner thus A Spie of his formerly imployed by him to Secretary Nicholas in Oxford was the day that the Army rose from before it sent to him again yet as one comming of his own accord to give him intelligence that the Army would that morning march away a thing they in Oxford knew well enough it being conceived that either the Secretary would send him or he might finde some opportunity to go into the West where Generall Goring then lay with his Army about Taunton and bring us the intelligence we desired accordingly it fell out Into the West he was sent first to Bath where the Prince of Wales then was to whom he brought the first news of the Parliaments Army rising from before Oxford from thence bearing the reward of ten pieces from the Prince

storm who beaing ready to fall on he took took down his bloody Colours and sounded a Parley and yielded upon quarter The souldiers had good booty in the Church took seventy prisoners and eighty arms This place standing convenient in a Line for the garrison of Malmsbury the Generall appointed the Governour of Malmsbury to continue the place a garrison for the better in larging the Parliaments quarters From Wanburrow the Army marched to Burchalk in Wiltshire by three stages without any considerable action save that on the Lords day June 29 while they rested at Marlburrow Spies were sent from thence to Taunton to give them notice of the Armies advance for their reliefe month July 1645 Munday Iune 30 the Army marched from Marlburrow to Almsbury 14 miles that day being a day for a Faire to be kept at Marlburrow some straglers stayed behind the Army whom Deut from the Devizes surprized Thence on Tuesday Iuly 1. they marched to Burchalke 12 miles and being drawne up that morning to a Randezvouz at a place called Stonage marched in Battalia upon Salisbury plaine some Officers and others of the Army who went-out of the way through Salisbury found the townsmen very peremptory being confident of their own strength by their association with other counties in their meetings of Club-men wearing white Ribbonds in their hatts as it were in affront of the Army not sparing to declare themselves absolute Neuters or rather friends to the enemy moreover news came this night that the Club-men had risen upon some of Major-Generall Massies forces that his men had done some execution upon them and that they with much confidence required reparation Wednesday Iuly 2. the Army marched to Blandford twelve miles and in their march took Mr. Penruddock and one Fussell two Captaines of the Club-men who being examined and convinced of their errour in causing such unlawfull assemblies without authority promised never to appear any more in that business thereupon were released In a narrow lane in this dayes march was a souldier executed one of the forementioned straglers being by the country apprehended and accused for plundering of a Gentleman passing on the way neer Marlburrow That night Intelligence met the Generall at Blanford that Goring had drawn off to Black-downe and burnt his hutts that some of our Spies sent to give them Intelligence were got into Taunton gave them notice of our coming Thursday Iuly 3. the Army marched from Blanford to Dorchester 12 miles a very hot day where Colonell Sidenham governour of Weymouth whose parts and resolution shew'd in the defence and recovery of that place deserves not to be forgotten met the General and gave him information of the condition of those parts and of the great danger of the Club-risers who would not suffer so high were they growne either Contribution or victuals to be carryed to the Parliaments Garrisons That night Mr. Hollis the cheif leader of the Clubmen with some others of their leaders desired a Let-passe from the Generall to present a Petition to the King and Parliament the Petition being read and found to be of a strange nature the matter was debated their designe appear'd to be desperately evill against the Parliament Hollis peremptory in his opinion not to be convinc'd affirming himselfe to be one of their leaders and that it was fit the people should shew their strength they were promised they should have an answer in writing the next morning They were so strong and withall so confident of their strength at that time that it was held a point of prudence to be faire in demeanour towards them for a while for if in case we should engage with Goring and some of our men be put to the Rout these Club-men would be more cruell then the Enemy and knock our men on the heads as they should flie for safety and some of them did not stick to say we know our own strength to be such that we are able both against King and Parliament to defend our selves and to doe more if need require and indeed if this had not been crushed in the Egge it had on an instant run all over the Kingdome and might have been destructive to the Parliament The King being assured if this third Partie had so prevailed as to be in a condition to give a Law to either side it would have been no disadvantage to his affairs being indeed raised many of them by Commission from him and countenanced by a neutrall party within our selves This night more certaine and particular Intelligence came that Goring had drawne off his men to Black-Downe to invite them in Taunton to sally out that he might take advantage to surprize them but fayling of his expectation returned back againe to his former quarters about Taunton and made some slight attempt upon our Party there but to little purpose Our Foot hearing that Goring was fallen on againe were eager to march all that night after 12 miles march that day which was also but the moity of 62. miles march in five dayes before so far did their compassion to Taunton and our party there cary them beyond consideration of themselves This day Intelligence was that the Club-men were risen against the Lyme forces and were engaged and many of them slaine and taken the Governours brother Major Ceeley a stout man hardly escaping Friday Iuly 4. Hollis the Club-man received his answer in writing which with the Petitions were transmitted to the Parliament which for the Readers satisfaction but especially that we may be affected with this great mercy of God in checking this great mischeife and Royall designe I shall insert the extract of their Petitions with the Generals answer to them that in the dangerousnesse of their positions as in a glasse and by the help of the Generals answer you may see the greatness of the deliverance In the Armies passage from Blanford to Dorchester came four Agents of the Club-men of Dorsetshire and Wiltshire the cheif Speaker was Mr. Hollis of Dorsetshire brother to him of Salisbury their business was to procure a pass from the Generall for these persons to go to the King and Parliament with petitions to the King were to goe Docter Henry Goche of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge and Mr. Thomas Bromwell Divines Iohn St. Loe Peter Hoskins Esquiers Mr. Thomas Young an Atturney and Mr. Robert Pawlet Gentleman To the Parliament Mr. Melchizadeck Waltham Mr. Richard Hook Club-divines Thomas Trenchard Robert Calliford Esquires George Hawles Richard Newman Gentlemen Mr. Hollis tendered to the Generall the Petitions so to be conveyed as also the Articles of Association the brief account of both is this the Articles were That the Associates provide Armes set watches be quiet with them that are so lay hold on disorderly souldiers bring them to the next garrisons not to refuse quarter and contribution to their ability till their Petitions be delivered not to favour either party nor to protect any not associated The heads of the
