Printed for I. Wright in the Old-Bailey 1643. A TRVE RELATION of the present Condition of BANBURY Brother MY desire is to let you understand the state and condition that our Countie is in at this present It was true that you heard that Northamptonshire men came into Banbury but they stayed not for the Major having yeelded the Towne before unto the King would not shew them any countenance and so they left the Towne presently and went away againe the same day that they came in And my Lord of Northampton came in upon the morrow and tooke possession of the Towne and Castle where he hath continued ever since untill it was Tuesday night last 22. day and then drew all his Forces out of the Towne towards Oxford in the night but onely his Foot and they went all into the Castle and carryed in all the provision that they could come by in thither and left the Towne open Northamptonshire men kept themselves together all this while and came againe to Byfield a Towne six miles from Banbury where they lay for a weeke but so soone as they heard that my Lord of Northampton was gone out of Banbury they presently advanced forward and made for Banbury againe and came before the Towne upon Wednesday in the afternoone about three of the clock and came into the Towne over the Bridge They in the Castle having foure Peeces of Ordnance shot at them as fast as they could all the time that they came in but yet it pleased God to preserve them that they came all safe into the Towne only one Horse kild and a man hurt and one man kild with Musket shot a●ter they came into Towne They continued in the Towne that night and all day on the morrow they were as was supposed about foure thousand all Countrymen but one hundred of Sea-men among them they brought two small Peeces into the Towne with them and sent to Northampton for one more bigger which came in upon Thursday about twelve a clock They shot at the Castle with their Musketiers all day Thursday and it was supposed they kild some that were upon the walls and likewise they shot from the walls all day and with the Ordnance from the Castle but kild none but hurt two or three And upon Thursday night they planted their great Peece against the Castle wall and the two smaller Peeces against the Gate but could not force it to make any entrance at all In the meane time my Lord of Northampton brought all the Kings strength of Horse from Oxford and came to Dedington within foure miles of Banbury on Thursday night where they lay all night in the Field which Northampton shire men hearing and seeing they could not doe any good at the Castle left the Towne againe and marched away about foure a clock in the morning with their Ordnance and the Kings Army of Horse came in on Fryday and quaild all the Countrey over on Fryday night but returned towards Oxford againe in the morning onely leaving some to keepe Garrison in Ba●bury and so now our Condition is worse ●hen ever it was for many shewed themselves forward to joyne with Northampton shire men And now they being gone againe wee are in more feares then ever wee were I pray God in mercie look upon us and put it into the heart of our King and Parliament that there may be an accommodation for Peace for otherwise our Countrey will be wholly ruinated in a short time Wee cannot enjoy any thing that is our owne The Towne of Banbury for the most part the chiefest men are wholly undone all alreadie and wee in the Countrey cannot long subsist For wee have great Taxes layd upon us and if wee will not pay them our Selves and Goods are both taken away I prayse God I have my libertie yet but doe not know how long I shall enjoy it for I am in great feare of my selfe I pray you send me a Grammar for my Boy and I would entreat you to send me word how the Citie doth stand affected Wee heare that it is much divided and the greater and stronger partie is for the King and that the Parliament is broken up I pray you send me the truth as neere as you can of all things as also concerning the Earle of Essex proceedings for wee cannot heare any thing from him which doth much discourage our County at this present 29.
