wounded mortally Captain Ireton sore wounded Prince Rupert seeing this with some force tooke the Castle for shelter against which the Generall planted his Ordnance intending to batter when loe the

reciting the Battails besiegings and gainings of Towns by storme and see if it be● recorded in any one place that so strong a City manned by so powerfull and numerous an enemie hath been taken by assault with the losse of so few and so small a number of men as this famous City was and what is more to be admired the Prince and his Souldiers were provided within with all sorts of necessaries accommodated also for the defensive with fortifications of the best sort victuals in abundance foure score or an hundred run of beer bread sufficient for an hundred thousand men a day and in a word all things abling a people to hold out a long siege but it was the Lord the Lord God of Hosts strong and above all that strengthened the one party and disheartned the other The Prince made choice of Oxford for his refuge Garison where being arived he was entertained with slow regreet the King not vouchsafing to see him and what was surely to him unlookt for confined him to his chamber and it was motioned by some Lords neer his Majesty that he should be tryed and examined by a Counsell of War why and upon what termes he so easily surrendred Bristol some said fear and timerousness of heart made him yeeld up others judged that gold had corrupted him and that he plaid Legerdimain receiving a sum of money to surrender the Town but all concluded that through his proper default was occasioned

I. Sir Thomas Fairfax taketh by storme the strong Castle of Tiverton overthroweth and routeth two Ragiments of the Kings Horse neer Bowytracy IT may perchance appeare to some men folly and The Authours Apology want of judgement in me that I doe not set down in order all and singular every Battail and Overthrow given the King whether by Sir Thomas Fairfax or any other inferiour Officer and that I break and mayme my History by overpassing many remarkable Victories attained by Col. Gen. Pointz and others I answer Be pleased to take notice that this is not an oversight in me but a thing done wittingly and willingly yea of set purpose and that for three Reasons First the scope of my intensions when I began this Worke was wholly to set down in order the Atchievements and prosperous proceedings of our thrice renowmed Generall Sir Thomas Fairfax and to passe by and take no notice of the Deeds of any other were they never so glorious and meriting Secondly that in so doing I might the more delight and solace my Reader

to mayntain the Gospell of Christ and the liberty of the Subject as the most glorious body that is visible in England is the Parliament of England so who can think it so perfect who can hope to find it so strong to work for the honour peace and happinesse of England as when it consults in full peace of its Royall Head and with all the other good members thereof and with all ardency of our affections wee kneel unto your Majesties Kingly wisdome and to the wisdom of the said Honourable Lords and Commons that for the speedy Integration both in Head and members of this body which is the soule of Englands welfare your Parliament the King believes it not It may graciously please your Majesty and the said Honourable Lords and Commons to send they unto your Majesty and your Majesty to them your severall that is to say your Majesties and their Commissioners and to hasten them to meet to treat and agree as at Uxbridge of time and place when and where your Majesty shall be with your Houses of Lords and Commons both of them in the beautifull fulnesse of all the members wee most humbly beseeching that no place may be thought for this purpose like Gideons fleece a fine policy to draw away the members of Parliament from a place of security to a place where they may be subject to the tyranny and ore-swaying Power of the Royall Party either the onely spot p p Explain your meaning of England that shall be capable of the dew of heavenly blessing and that all the Land besides will be dry upon any Town or City God will give down his dew and for the security both of your Majesty and the honourable Houses in any place we shall lay down ourlives your deeds confute your words and that which is left of our estates to your Majesty for the houses to the houses for your Majesty and that we and the whole Realme may no longer want the benefit of those Laws which are well knowne to us by the undoubted seals of Kings Lords and Commons upon them and may not still starve and bleed our selves to death for such as could not yet passe the threefold test we humbly pray that the comfortable beams of justice which have been so long obscured and clouded may at length breake forth to the refreshment of this drooping Kingdome now grown weary and weak through long impunity of all sorts of sin and injury and that Judges and Officers may be authorized and secured in their administrations of Law and Right to all people if this hath not been your selves have occasioned it the two Houses of Parliament prostrates their lives and fortunes to to purchase you and all Counties this and that all field Armies may be dissolved all controversies for which they have been ☞ raised being laid down to be awakened and determined or to sleep and dye undecided in the free and full Parliament and that all unnecessary Garisons be slighted and such as shall be thought fit and necessary either by your Majestie or the said Honourable Lords and Commons to be continued to be trusted in some hands of those Counties wherein they are scited the Trustees to be equally named by your Majesty and the said Honourable Lords and Commons and no Trustee to deliver up his charge but by the joynt assent of Kings Lords and Commons untill wee may see that happy day q q Wil your infamous sedition and unlawfull rising produce it when the King Lords and Commons shall declare that there is no more use of such warishnesse between the King and his people and wee beseech your Majesties Princely clemency and the fatherly and fraternall love of the said Lords and Commons to all their equall and inferiour Countrimen for the sweet and necessary condiscention for all that have been in arms or otherwise assistant to this destructive war and to all that are imprisoned by any occasion of it and to all that absent themselves from their dwellings upon feare thereof you petitioned for justice ere-while recant you now may be permitted to returne home and all men to enjoy their Liberties and Properties and their wonted freedome of commerce through the whole Realme Lastly we humbly beseech your Majesties most tender heart and the feeling affections of the said Honourable Lords and Commons to their poore and bleeding Countrimen to take notice of the many importunate Agitants which have beaten us together in these our unusuall meetings not onely the worship a fair Cloak of God but the honour of your Majestie the native liberty and right of the Subject the wealth and strength of the whole Land and whatsoever is vertuous or laudable in it self but also our intolerable slavery under a most insolent Souldiery this is notoriously knowne as also the rest of the allegations to be false and suborn'd an universall poverty by endlesse contribution and plunder the cursed sacriledge the Idoll of the Commons the common Prayer Book taken away done unto holy places defacings and ruinings the grievous persecutions of grave and reverend Ministers the many bloudy tragicall inhumane rapes and murthers that have beene acted and more are threatned upon peaceable Subjects all sorts of wickednesse before every where impudent and shamelesse in a word whatsoever is dreadfull or miserable to us is still growing upon us under the reign of this Civill War by all these so many and so powerfull considerations wee have beene drawn together as we contest the searcher of all hearts not for sedition but the publick peace ha ha he and in order thereto together to meet in this our humble Petition to your Majesty and the said Honourable Lords and Commons and to put our selv●● in a generall readinesse at the City of the County to pursue all robbers and murtherers one Thiefe attach another under whose continuall oppressions we could no longer endure We therefore humbly pray and beseech your Majesty and the said Honourable Lords and Commons and all our Superiours and fellow Subjects that we may be mercifully and favourably judged in these your seditious and abominable proceedings these our innocent intentions and according to our capacities and our wisest endeavours we continually pray to the God of peace and love that we may be revived and the whole Realme by a speedy and indissoluble union of the strength and saving health of England next under his heavenly Majesty your sacred Majesty the right honourable Lords and the honourable House of Commons in a full and free which cannot be but an happie Parliament Thus far the Author of this malevolent Petition which because I have already somwhat canvased and all wise men reading it wil easily behold the main end and
