Fresh Intelligence OF ANOTHER NEVV AND GREAT VICTORY Obtained by the Lord Fairfax his Forces against the popish Army in Yorkshire neere HVLL Wherein 80 of that Popish Army were slaine 100 taken Prisoners and 9 Peeces of Ordnance recovered the one of them being called her Majesties Gog and Magog Oct 17 LONDON Printed for A. N. 1643. Another great Victory obtained by the Lord Fairfax his Forces against the Popish Army neere Hull NOw all men may see the grand effect and operation of the Covenant thus it was with Scotland God carryed on their Designe without impediment it was the meere force of their Covenant which wrought it and brought them on so successefully and ever since the first day of striking in and Confederating in such a wonderfull manenr God hath giuen us successe the victory at Newberry the reliefe of Glocester were even when we were considering and consulting and taking our Covenant and now very lately upon the second solemnity of it by the house of Lords a Messenger came with the joyfull tydings of the Earle of Manchesters victory neere Bullingbrooke And now one Captaine Clayton an Officer in the Lord Fairfax Army came hither the 17 of October from Hull in Yorkshire at 3. of the clocke that place which was formerly b●sieged with the Earle of Newcastle's Army hee having divers times shot into the Towne hot flaming bullets which to the wonder and astonishment of all never fell but on some Malignant house in the town but now the Newcastelian Forces lying stil in their siege and fancying to themselves some unexpected successe either by treachery within or by their constant lying before it hoping at length to worke some terrour in the Inhabitants and to bring them into straits it pleased God to put into the hearts of the noble Lord Fairfax Sir Iohn Meldrum and the rest of the noble Councell of War to take into their thoughts and designes how to fall upon the enemy who lay before the Towne they called a secret or Cabinet Counsell and deliberated seriously upon the businesse and disputed the feaseablenesse of it for there were many difficulties in it as first the adventuring any considerable party out of the Towne and then the discouragements which might follow if any losse or defeature should happen then the great Army and Forces which the Earle of Newcastle had and though they might sally out upon one Work yet he m●ght with his numbers so supply the assailed that it would prove a mighty hazard these things thus agitated it pleased God to warme the spirits of our worthy Commanders the Lord Fairfax Sir Iohn Meldrum and the rest and to put new resolutions into their hearts and they resolved to sally forth then order was given to divers Captaines to make ready for drawing forth and 800 were appointed by the Lord Generall Fairfax and they were only designed for this great victory They marched forth upon Wednesday last being the very day on which the Earle of Manchester and Sir Tho Fairfax Lord Willoughby and Colonell Cromwell obtained their famous victory upon the place neere Bullinbrooke which is a very wonderfull and observable Providence for God did seeme to give us a compleat victory in two severall Counties at the same time the one being a victory over Horse the other over Foot so as now the whole body of the popish Army is routed having divided it selfe into two parts viz. Lincolnshire and Yorkshire Newcastles Forces lying in their Trenches and having made severall workes one within another in a very strong and Artificiall manner our forces fell upon their main Quarter beat them from one Worke into another and so out of all the workes of their Quarter but the Popish forces came one again and beat ours back again and recovered their workes then it pleased God to put new courage and resolutions into our men and then they went on again drove them all out killed 80 on the place tooke 100 prisoners routed all the rest took 9 great Peices of Ordinance whereof one of them was called her Majesties Gog and Magog being their greatest Cannon shooting Bullets of 36 pound weight these being taken thus all his army run away and they pursued and might have followed them to the gates of Yorke the enemy was in that great astonishment but the forces of my Lord Fairefax contented themselves for the present with these only this further such was the disorder and distraction of the enemies army upon this admirable difeate the divers of the newcastlians came into Hull to surrender themselves to the Lord Fairfax mercy now there are such sad ●amentings in the Popish army that they know not wh●t course to take they are at their witts end now they are thinking it is verily supposed of providing for themselves either by flight to Newcastle and so to take shipping or to Scarbrough and so to be gone for Ireland Sir Hugh Cholmley is in greate distraction and it is thought would come over againe to the Parliaments side if he might be received for he hath had little sound comfort and content since he revolted The quarters now which the Enemy had about Beverley Cottingham Newland Stoneferis Stamfordbrigge and other places are now left very empty and they are intending to gather all into a body to retreate to Yorke but it is thought by those that run away from the enemies side daily that the designe will not hold and that they will rather run all away and so desert the Marquess of Newcastle leave him with his naked title who of all men that ever took up Armes against the Parliament serves most to be hanged and have his quarters hung the one upon Yorke minster the other upon Lincoln minster and the other upon Durham minster and the other upon Westminster because he first gave a rise to the Papists of this land And let all men take notice of that wicked and unfortunate Marquesse who hath been the only Generall for the Popish Army giving them all the encouragement he could and being the greatest observer of the Queen and her jesuiticall faction doing their Commands like a pack-horse And now all men are desired to looke upon our Cause and not to faint but to raise up their spirits in the south that we may now totally end the business and hasten our peace and happiness which must only be by victory over our enemy This is Licensed and entered according to order FINIS
