WORTHY SIR AFter my best love and respects unto you I thought it not amisse to acquaint you with our happy and successefull Proceedings in these parts and of those Victories which we have obtained since our setting forth from London VIZ. Vpon the sixth of this month wee came to a Town called Fenny-Stratford in Norhamptonshire and intended to have billeted there that Night but they were disappointed For about one of the clock in the morning there came a Messenger to the Town and informed us that Prince ROBERTS Troopes were marching with all speed towards the Towne Whereupon we immediatly arose and marched out of the Town to meet the Cavaleers where we suddenly espyed them comming and such was the courage of our men that they set spurs to their horses and away they rid towards them where having some parley together and not agreeing we discharged against them and they against us insomuch that a bloody battle did insue as followeth Both Armies being set in battle array they began to discharge with much courage on both sides and continued a long time therein it being very doubtfull on which side the Victory would fall Captain Blake a Dutchman behaved himself very valiantly in the fight for he brought up a Troop of men very valiantly against us with much policy assaulting of us both in the Front and left wing Then we discharged against him both in the left wing and Front and at the last caused him to retreat back slaying four or five of his men that came against us on the left wing and he himself escaped a bullet very narrowly Wherupon he withdrew himselfe and his men to the Reer of their own Army the rest of their Troops still discharging against us being far greater in Number then we were and many of them very able souldiers that came from Holland with Prince Robert Yet although their Company was greater then ours we feard them not for had they bin twice as many more as they were we was resolved to fight it out to the last man And such is the courage of our men that although they be but few in Number yet will they fight with any that they meet with Yet neverthelesse although they did exceed farre greater in number yet they did not exceed beyond us in courage for at our first meeting wee cut off a great many of them and took fifty prisoners they being now sent away to Norhampton Gaol where they now remain prisoners And after we had skirmished together for the space of 9. hours we put them all to flight making them runne before us like a flock of sheepe before their shepheard they not daring to withstand us There was also a Gentleman came from the Lord Brookes and Collonell Hambdens Regiments neer Coventre certifying and intimating unto us the Proceedings of their Forces against the Cavaleers And likewise signified that they had had a great skirmish with divers Cavaleers that came out of KENT being resolved to go to the Standard at Nottingham to aid and assist his Majesty against all those that shhuld oppose him Where having for the space of two hours shot very furiously one against another the Battle began to cease and the Kentish Cavaleers began to retreat retiring back again with all speed leaving behind them slain and wounded neer upon threescore which came out of Kent with them There was also taken in this battle Sir William Butler Sir Anthony Liger Captain Jacob Jackson and Lieutenant Gilbert a very able and approved of Souldier The said Forces that are under the Command of the right Honourable the Lord Brooks hath defeated many more Troops thereabouts We are now marching with all speed towards Liecestershire to cleere that County of the Blood-sucking Cavaleers that doth now so much oppresse the distressed Protestants of that County The Dragooners of Northampton have plaid many brave Exploits and have oftentimes fought many skirmishes against the Cavaleers taking many prisoners and putting the rest to flight They have also took the Lord Montague prisoner at Norhampton the said Lord being strongly guarded by one hundred men at his own house where at the first he defended himselfe very nobly but the Dragooneers soon made entrance into his house taking great store of Arms and himself prisoner I drank with Abraham Hilt at Dunstable and I also met Sergeant Fox at Norhampton From Norhampton Sep. 8.
