Duke Hamilton's DECLARATION CONCERNING His coming into England with the King of Scots SIR I Make no question but you have had a large account given you of the Battle which was fought here in this City wherein the Mercies of God were very eminent towards us and is as a Crown to all those blessings which the Lord hath vouchsased us formerly This City is indeed become a sad Spectacle and was very noysome by reason of the multitudes of dead carcasses both of man and beast for the Fight was very fierce and the slaughter of the Enemy great till care was taken for their removal by Gods blessing to prevent Infection We hope the Malignants of this place will learn by the present calamities to see into their own Follies and behold the hand of God upon them in those miseries which they have drawn upon Themselves by their former and later compliances with the Enemie their remissenesse in Government their murmuring and complaining of wants for under that pretence in our greatest extremity the day before the Scottish Armie entred the City not five pounds could be raised among them for present supply though now their Plunder be rated at an extraordinary value His Excellency the Lord General hath been very noble in all things and hath infinitely won the hearts of the Inhabitants of this City who repent them of their former malignancy and protest hereafter to be faithful to the Parliament to live and die in defence of the present Government Duke Hamilton is dead of the wounds which he received in the late Fight a little before he dyed lying in great extremity with the pain of his leg and every hour expecting to be dissolved he declared before several Officers of the Army and divers Gentlemen of quality who were present with him That he was heartily sorry that ever he engag'd against the Parliament and that he was confident his coming into England was contray to the Will of God wishing that he had been admonished by his Grandmother who Prophetically told his Father in the Year 1648. when he came with that numerous Scotch Army into England which was routed in Lancashire that if he did engage against England it would be the ruine of him and his Posterity saying further That she was confident that the Army would be totally routed and the Family of the Stuarts would in very few yeares be utterly extirpated both in England and Scotland Whose words hitherto have proved Oracular for his Father being taken prisoner was beheaded at Westminster and the son mortally wounded in the late Fight here dyed yesterday of his VVounds in this City he seemed very sorrowful for his sins and earnestly desired those about him to joyn in prayers with him to the Lord that he might find mercy and forgivenesse The Commissioners of the Militia are disbanding their Militia Forces and with some endeavours of satisfaction to them answerable to their willingnesse in the Parliament's Service and that in so great a number They are likewise careful in ridding the Country of straglers also in seizing and securing the persons and estates of such as adhered to the Scottish King most of which were Papists of this Country and in Summoning the Country to level the new VVorks and Fortifications about the City Worcester Sept. 13. The Copy of a Letter from Edenburgh in Scotland relating the state of affaires in that Nation SIR LIevrenant Gen. Monk is now Master of the field in this Nation all parts falling down before the power of the Parliament of England yet there is a malignant spirit in many they are not to be trusted onely with an hand of awe over them The old Cavalier party curse the Presbyterians and say that they and their pride and insolency hath been the cause of all this evil that hath befaln their King and his friends and the Presbyterian party accuse the old Royalists for being so heady to run with their King so fast in his own way But we say it is the wickednesse of the one and perfideousnesse of the other hath provoked the Lord to humble them The Lord grant they may make a right use of it Here is old or rather new howling among the Ladies in Scotland for their Husbands Fathers Sons Friends that are flam and taken in England and Scotland and it seems some of them like Pilats wife gave their Husbands warning begging of them not to go out in this VVar. The Marquesse of Arguile would fain make pretence that he hath not been guilty of the late transactions though he had too great an hand in the Treaty with the King and something since Indeed he had so much discerning it seems into the Scots Kings designs that he justly began to fear that if he prospered he should find the same feward that Montrosse had from him and his party and therefore he so far obstructed that party that he saw designed to undermine him that the very common Souldiers have jusled him and abused him as he went along the streets before the Scots King marched into England The Scots Gentry lay much fault upon their Ministers that they preached to them as if the English Designes were far otherwise then they find them But we find much falsenesse in this Nation yet some we hope are godly We have fallen upon severall Parties in Scotland where they were respectively and every day almost some prisoners are brought in or some place reduced so that the power of the Lord hath wonderfully appeared for us Montrosse and Aberdeen have submitted Captain Hume doth some mischief by robing but we have sent some parties to find him out Edenburgh 14.
