The last Newes from Chitchester Brought by a speciall Messenger concerning the taking of it the 29. of Decem. 1642. THat after Sir VVilliam VValler with his men had besieged the City of Chitchester seven dayes and nights and had given sever all assaults upon it to the the losse of about twenty men of both sides it was surrendred on Wednesday last being the last Fast day as a fruit of the prayers of Gods people at 5. of the clocke in the afternoone upon composition viz. 1. That the Towne should let the Parliaments forces in 2. That they should pay unto the Parliaments forces a moneths pay before hand 3. That all the Commanders in the towne and chiefe Cavaliers should be seized upon and to be at the disposall of the Parliament 4. That the Towne should not be plundred wherupon the gates were opened our men entred and shut them again which done they first released the honest men which were committed to prison who they imployed in places of trust and after that seized upon the Brshop those Lords and other Commanders that are there to the number of about 80. It is conceived they have found great store of money and plate but how much and how they served the common souldiers together with other particulars not here mentioned we may shortly expect to heare One or two chiefe passages of providence I cannot omit 1. That this victory was upon the Fast day even before many Congregations had ended prayer a good answer of our prayers and so a good incouragement for us still to seeke Gods face and favour in behalfe of this distressed Land 2. Consider the great goodnesse of God to our souldiers there fell not a drop of raine a that place all the while they were in siege about that Towne and that they took it but halfe an houre before this last great raine began Oh the goodnesse of God!
