A Exact and True RELATION OF THE BATTELL Fought on Saturday last at ACTON between the Kings Army and the Earl of Essex his Forces With the number that were slain on both sides ALSO A true Relation of the taking of the Earl of Middlesex Sir Kellam Digby and the Lord of Dorsets Son on Saturday the 12. of Nov. at Mile-end-Green in a Coach coming to view the Works Sent from the Army from one Master Bourn an Officer under Colonell Hollis LONDON Printed for Tho Cook Novemb. 14. 1642. A true Relation OF The Battell at Acton on Saturday last ON Friday last there was a Rumour of Peace blazed abroad in the City which was only upon policie to come on unawares which wee are all subject to believe which causes our own Ruine for we believed that Rumour which made us be unprovided of Men and Arms so they had the advantage of us at the beginning On Saturday they came on our men who were unprovided both of Powder and Bullets but the Lord that is the chief fighter I hope on our side will still defend us For Colonell Hollis with his Regiment did hold them play till the other Forces came in which did behave themselves very couragiously Also Captain Manwaring did with his Troop of Horse behave himself bravely for he stood close to it not being daunted at any thing for the Lord was their incourager and brought them on and brought them off It was almost four of the clock in the afternoon before the Earl of Essex came to them with his Forces but when he came the Lord fought with them for they were wonderfull couragious in the Battel for they flew on like Tygers both with Musquet Pike and Sword till they could see no longer therefore they were forced to leave off for that night There were about Seven hundred Cavaliers slain with the losse of about One hundred and fifty on our side On Sunday morning about six of the clock a break of day they began to fight fiercely on both sides but our men came on couragiously the Noble and valorous Earl of Essex did play his part very bravely incouraging his Souldiers to be valorous knowing whose cause it is for God King and Country Colonell Hollis hath stood very bravely to it both on Saturday and Sunday with an undaunted spirit Colonell Hampden hath likewise been very forward in this Battell the Lord be praised that hee continues so constant and true hearted for the defence of the Gospell they going out with full resolution to live rnd die in the defence of it for which we are all bound to pray to the Lord to continue amongst us but the Lord is angry for our too much neglecting of him and his word this Land abounds wonderfully in sinne and we must expect a punishment so the Lord begins to punish very sharply let us all joyn in prayer to other heavier aflictions and not to make us like unto Germany we all know that was the flourishingst Lingdom in all Christendome but the Lord sent first the Sword that devoured many a thousand then came the pestilence that swept away many then came famine so these three together hath made it a depollished Countrey it is credibly reported that a man may travell a hundred miles and not see a Town nor mnat man woman nor child the first is begun here but let us all humbly and joyntly together few unto the Lord that he will keep the others from us which we may dayly expect continuing in our sinne and wickednesse let us now doe as we are bound in duty to do seek to amend nur lives and conversations and become new creatures and desire every one of us to be he or she that may stand in the gape to appease the just Wrath of the Lord who is the knower of all things before they come to passe and desire him to unite us all in one that we may be all of one Church and of one Resolution and that we may not stand in opposition one against another the father to fight against the child and the child against the father and brother against brother which causeth so many dead corps to lye on the ground as now doth to the great terror and affrightment of all the beholders it is a griefe to all to see or heare of it the father and mother grieve for their sons the sons and daughters grieve for their fathers the wife grieves for the husband brother grieves for brother so all are weeping and lamenting none can rejoyce for all sinart from the highest to the lowest all are aflicted but the Lord I hope will in convenient time bring a period to it It is credibly reported by those that were eye-witnesses that there lyes heaps of dead men in multitudes This was brought from thence on Sunday at three of the clock in the afternoone and then there were slain the Lieutenant Colonell under Colonell Hollis and one Captain Push these are all of noat three or four more were wounded but what Souldiers of each side were slain is not yet justly known for Sundayes sight On Sarurday last at Miles-end-Green about three of the clock were taken the Earl of Middlesex the Lord of Dorsets son and Sir Kellam Digby who had been in Kent to raise forces against the Parliament and in other parts to raise more but the Lord hath stopped his journey and hindred his intentions for in stead of going with an Army of men against the Parliament he was with the rest guarded with Armed men to the Parliament there to suffer according to their treachery a just reward to such Delinquents they were committed to custody till they could be examined On Saturday night last at 11 of the clock two Captains went post into Essex to raise men which was quickly done for there were 500 came into town on Sunday morning about nine of the clock with undaunted resolution to march away with the Noble Earl of Warwick which is Lord Generall of these forces for the defence of the King and Parliament and for the defence of the true Protestant Religion vowing to live and die with the two Noble and Couragious Generalls which are the two Loadstones of the Kingdom On Saturday the 12. of November Prince Robert using the advantage of the Mist which was that morning extreamly thick brought up his Forces to Brainford where he was most valiantly opposed by my Lord Roberts Regiment on the Bridge who beat them off and with great resolution maintained the Bridge till they had spent all their powder and shot at which time it pleased God that Colonell Hampden and Colonell Hollis Regiments came in who very manfully set upon them and slew many of them with the losse of a very few on our side On Sunday the 13. of November no feat of War was done onely there came up two small Ships to Branford who hearing the Cavaliers were there shot at them who were answered again by the Cavaliers This day also the City sent 89 Carts and Wigons laden with all manner of provision unto the Army There were taken prisoners also two of His Majesties Guard whereof one was shot in the leg FINIS
