TRVE NEWS FROM OXFORD Being a Relation of the Magnificent valour of the Scholars in number 500 compleatly armed the more encouraged in respect of the presence of the Lord Lovelace and Lord Wilmot who for manifold achievements stiled them with the Title of Heroicke Cavaleers Sent in a Letter by a Scholar in the University to a brother of his in London London Printed for R. Best August 29. 1642. Deare Brother I Am very sorry that I o●●●●ed the last weeks opportunity which was by reason of the Carriers haste in going and not my negligence in writing but I will be sure not to be failing in this kind any more I have received your last Letter as also both the Letters mentioned in the same and am very sorry that you have not received my answers thereunto for I sent you answers to them particularly In your last Letter you wish that your Regiment might come to Oxon to visit our traiterous malignant schollers which if you did or any else you would be nobly entertained the University affects Londoners so much that I done say they had rather have your room than your company but if you doe presse them with your company you shall have as good entertainment as their hostile preparations can afford you for here is every day training of schollers with other great preparations for your comming so that now our schollers have exchanged exercising with their bookes in study for the practise of their Armes in the field but to say the plain truth they imploy themselves better now then before for before their whole time was spent in whooring drinking and swearing fit souldiers for this chuse but now great part of their time is spent in martiall exercises but by no means will they wholly neglect the other A while since the University hearing of some or the Parliament forces comming hither in all hast a judicious Convocation was called Powder and shot in readinesse provided scouts sent out the bridge blockt strict watch set at the gates and the City all in armes but our couragious valiant schollers most part fled our great grave Doctors went as fast as they could some run afoot some rid to overtake them not to bring them back or stay them but much desired their company most of them disguising themselves for feare of them that intended not to trouble them like the wicked in the Psalm fleeing when no man pursued them by which we may take notice what a scare-crow a bad cause and a bad conscience is both which is apparent to all good Christians they fight to maintaine We heare that the King will be here very shortly and set a strong guard on the University and so to take his journey to Warwicke and here is every day 500. Horse expected for the Lord Wilmot who is now resident here to guard the University so that here is like to be great opposition but what are all these being the Lord is not with them but against them for the best things saith a Heathen are overcome by the greatest difficulties for they are exceeding good things we expect therefore I cannot expect but the Lord will make us passe through some opposition to gaine them But I will acquaint you with some more Oxford courage this day the Lord Lovelas and the Lord Wilmot being here and hearing of the brave Cavaleers His Majesty was like to have from Oxford came to see them train the whole Company consisting of about 500 all being schollers which the forenamed Lords seeing and in so compleat armes acting their postures they wonderfully applauded this their designe protesting they would make heroicke Cavaleers and the schollers answering and protesting they would deserve their good opinion and that the Round-heads should know for against them they would spend every drop of blood in their veines and they made no question but one of them were able to encounter with halfe a dozen Round-heads if they had some there to try their courage once for they feared not if all the World came against them and many the like expressions so that one would have thought if the great Twelfth Army were there they would have conquered them all but in the interim while they were thus couragiously marching every one looking like a son of Goliah there came unexpected nows that there were Troopers making towards them but now see the 〈◊〉 courage of these before brave Cavaleers for they hearing this news the major part was in such haste to be gone that they never staied to examine the truth or whether they were for them or against them but runne as hard as their heeles could carry them out of the field leaving field and courage all at once the rest being encouraged by the two Lords to stand and see the event staid but with such courage that each of them were like to fall down in the places where they stood which did plainly appeare by their pale faces so that I am confident had the imagined Troopers come in sight they would have shewed them their backes and made known what swift footmen they could on such an occasion be Thus you see the stout courage of these our Oxford Cavaleers being thus terrified by imaginary feares the Lord strike such terrour into the hearts of all that oppose his truth which we have great hopes God will effect accordingly if we consider the parties on both sides for all men plainly see that the opposers of the Parliament are either Papists whose Religion is quite contrary to Gods Word or Atheists who have no Religoin except prophannesse be a Religion FINIS
