fairfax_n his_o regiment_n sir_n henry_n cholmleys_n and_o my_o lord_n mandevil_n and_o to_o say_v the_o plain_a truth_n my_o own_o these_o run_v away_o gentleman_n you_o see_v by_o this_o time_n i_o be_o like_a to_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n i_o hope_v of_o every_o thing_n but_o yet_o i_o must_v say_v this_o that_o though_o they_o do_v so_o yet_o i_o hope_v there_o will_v be_v very_o convenient_a &_o very_a good_a number_n of_o they_o get_v together_o again_o that_o may_v show_v themselves_o in_o better_a condition_n and_o better_a way_n of_o service_n then_o yet_o they_o have_v do_v i_o hope_v so_o and_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v so_o for_o they_o be_v but_o young_a soldier_n and_o we_o have_v see_v very_o good_a experience_n of_o some_o of_o they_o that_o have_v this_o last_o battle_n do_v very_o extraordinary_a and_o gallant_a service_n not_o long_o after_o there_o be_v a_o charge_n upon_o the_o left_a wing_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o there_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o 18_o or_o 19_o troop_n and_o true_o i_o can_v say_v they_o do_v so_o well_o as_o they_o shall_v though_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v not_o many_o of_o they_o cut_v off_o neither_o but_o that_o they_o will_v be_v bring_v together_o again_o to_o do_v very_o good_a service_n hereafter_o but_o so_o it_o be_v they_o have_v the_o worst_a of_o it_o and_o by_o this_o you_o will_v see_v that_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o day_n we_o may_v think_v it_o will_v not_o prove_v so_o well_o as_o it_o please_v god_n it_o do_v afterward_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o day_n for_o four_o troop_n be_v divide_v and_o one_o part_n of_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o in_o good_a order_n but_o it_o please_v god_n now_o to_o show_v himself_o for_o after_o they_o have_v past_o the_o left_a wing_n of_o our_o horse_n i_o can_v say_v it_o be_v in_o any_o hand_n but_o god_n own_o providence_n the_o horse_n that_o have_v pass_v through_o they_o flolow_v they_o in_o part_n and_o go_v to_o the_o town_n where_o all_o our_o baggage_n be_v the_o baggage_n of_o the_o officer_n and_o the_o private_a person_n of_o the_o army_n not_o they_o of_o the_o artillery_n but_o the_o colonel_n cart_n and_o the_o captain_n cart_n and_o such_o provision_n as_o that_o and_o there_o they_o take_v a_o bait_n upon_o our_o pillage_n and_o fall_v a_o plunder_v all_o that_o while_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o army_n be_v a_o fight_a and_o indeed_o my_o lord_n general_n have_v some_o more_o loss_n then_o ordinary_a by_o some_o clothes_n and_o money_n he_o have_v there_o but_o we_o may_v thank_v god_n they_o be_v away_o for_o thereby_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o army_n have_v the_o better_a opportunity_n to_o do_v that_o service_n they_o do_v my_o lord_n general_n himself_o upon_o this_o extremity_n do_v begin_v to_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v more_o than_o a_o ordinary_a man_n and_o indeed_o i_o think_v more_o than_o i_o have_v hear_v tell_v of_o any_o man_n for_o he_o charge_v up_o at_o several_a time_n once_o with_o his_o own_o troop_n of_o horse_n as_o i_o remember_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a with_o his_o own_o regiment_n of_o foot_n which_o be_v raise_v here_o in_o essex_n and_o though_o so_o many_o ill_a passage_n happen_v before_o with_o his_o own_o providence_n and_o encouragement_n and_o the_o encouragement_n of_o other_o his_o own_o troop_n of_o horse_n fall_v upon_o the_o king_n own_o regiment_n which_o they_o have_v most_o hope_n of_o which_o they_o call_v the_o red_a regiment_n after_o a_o sore_a and_o bitter_a fight_n for_o to_o give_v they_o their_o due_n they_o fight_v very_o well_o those_o of_o my_o lord_n of_o essex_n his_o regiment_n and_o those_o horse_n i_o speak_v of_o before_o they_o kill_v the_o king_n standard_n bearer_n sir_n edward_n varney_n they_o take_v the_o king_n standard_n which_o be_v raise_v up_o against_o the_o parliament_n and_o it_o be_v bring_v my_o lo_o general_n and_o he_o deliver_v it_o to_o a_o servant_n which_o be_v not_o so_o careful_a as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o take_v by_o force_n but_o by_o the_o carelessness_n and_o negligence_n of_o some_o person_n but_o it_o be_v get_v

observe_v of_o god_n providence_n in_o this_o day_n work_n that_o though_o it_o begin_v so_o improbable_o yet_o before_o the_o close_a of_o the_o night_n which_o be_v two_o hour_n for_o they_o begin_v to_o fight_v indeed_o but_o about_o four_o a_o clock_n we_o have_v get_v the_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v upon_o we_o have_v get_v the_o wind_n and_o we_o do_v not_o know_v nor_o by_o information_n conceive_v that_o there_o be_v twenty_o man_n of_o we_o kill_v by_o all_o the_o king_n cannon_n when_o it_o be_v night_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o fight_v we_o draw_v our_o force_n

force_n come_v to_o my_o lord_n general_n and_o join_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o army_n and_o when_o the_o king_n have_v draw_v his_o force_n up_o the_o hill_n my_o lord_n general_n draw_v we_o

after_o i_o have_v declare_v this_o narration_n to_o you_o say_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o certain_o my_o lord_n general_n himself_o have_v deserve_v as_o much_o in_o this_o service_n for_o

then_o the_o general_n do_v draw_v up_o his_o own_o regiment_n and_o then_o do_v god_n begin_v in_o they_o to_o show_v his_o own_o work_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o they_o but_o by_o a_o
