LAMENTABLE AND SAD NEVVES FROM THE NORTH viz. Yorke Lancaster Darby and Newcastle Sent in a Letter from a Gentleman resident in Yorke to his friend living in Lumbard street ALSO Strange Newes from Leicester how Colonell Lunsford Captain Legg and Mr Hastings have appeared in a warlike Manner with a true discovery of their intention and the manner of the opposition by the Earle of Stanfoord Lord Lieutenant of that County London Printed for G. Thomlinson and T. Watson 1642. LAMENTABLE NEWES FROM THE NORTH SIR ACcording to my engagements when I was at London I can do no lesse then advertise you of our newest newes at Yorke which indeed at this time is so terrible that it would melt an adamantine heart into tears to Relate The Rebellious insurection and wicked polices and stratagems of these most Hellish Papists and malignant party are growne to such an head that t is feared without the great mercy of God we are like to undergo the hardest censure and bloodyest devices they possibly can inflict upon this our flourishing Kingdom the whole City and County of Yorke is so grievioufly perplexed with the fear of a civill war which still these Cavaliers with oathes and threats doe dayly insist to the terrour of all good Christians they are now grown to so insolent and turbulent spirits being countenanced with the smiles of many noble-men that men cannot dispose of their own goods themselves nor families nor indeed being in possession of them over night know not whether they may lay claime to them as their owne the next morning or no for their will is a Law and what other men have is theirs contrary to Law nolens volens For their own parts they are wickedly grown desperate through the favours of so many men of note in Yorke Noblemen that they care not for the ruination of a whole Kingdome so themselves may imbrue their hands in innocent blood which the Lord bee mercifull to us if we come to stand to their mercy for then shall we see our Wives ravished before our faces our childrens braines dashed out against the walles and our selves exposed with so great losse to the adventure upon any opposition of far more tyrannie if possibly infllicted on us therefore had we need in time to call and cry unto the Lord to be mercifull unto us and to this our finfull Nation and unanimiously joyne against viperous brood of Sathan and locusts of the bot tomlessepit They have shewed themselves so insolent and so assured of possession of the city of London that for a wanton kisse of their Ladies they have undertaken to sell any mans goods or Iewells or what else ●hey require which is the propriety of any mans in the Kingdome and so carelesse have they bin here to pay for any thing which they have a mind to that they take it with a let 's see who dares say let it belong to who it will They will as familiarly come into a Taverne or alehouse cellar and knock out the bottome of the vessels and make nothing of it to drinke so long as they thinke good so is it likewise if they have occasion for cloathes boots or any other commodities in the City take them without demanding what 's to pay promising when they receives pay or pillage to pay them which upon the least opposition they undergoe the right of their cane and upon any further resistance slash them with their swords And in the like nature hath the whole County of York undergone the punishment these caviliers thought fit to inflect upon them by riding 20. 30. 40. in a troop 10. or 12. miles f●om the City a purving where with them all is fish which come to the net be they poore or rich that are loosers 't is all one to them Likewise in contempt of all Iustice they have abused many honourable personages imploye by the Parliament in Yorke and other places adjacent swear●ing bitterly Damne and sinke them they will be revenged on the Puritan Parliament and all other adherents the Citizens of London So that with their bloody oathes and most damnable actions ter●ible to relate the whole City and County of Yorke is frustrate of that happines and fruition which we might by the providence of God enjoy But now to the terror and amazement of all true harted protestants other neighbouring Counties are like without the aboundant mercy of God to bee sharers of this dolefull tragedy now acting in the North for they have already begun their desperate intentions in Lancaster as may appeare by the Lord Strange his Carriadge there where with a company of about 700 men hath by vertue of the Commission of Array disposed of some part of the Magazine there and hath opposed the Deputy Lieftenant appointed by the ordinance for the Militia for putting the same in execution and likewise it plainly appears by his Majesties letter to Sir Iohn Gerlington the high Sheriffe of that County to sum up all the protestant Subjects with all speed at Preston to heare his Maiesties two last declarations and the Lancashire petition to the King and his Majesties answer thereunto some of the Committees for Lancaster desired the forbearance of them to be read but hee in contempt of their order from the Parliament departed with some of his friends and cryed out all that are for the King go with us crying for the King for the King and so about 400 persons wherof the most part of them were popish Recusants went with him and ridde up and downe the moore and cryed for the King for the King but far more in number stayed with the Committee and prayed for the uniting of the King and Parliament with a generall acclamation so that ti 's thought since the Committees going there it hath wonderfully wrought upon the hearts of the people but upon contempt of the Committee Sir Iohn Gerlington Sir George Middleton and Sir Edward Fitton are sent for to the House as delinquents and for Manchester they all stand upon their own guard with their shops shut up well affected to the Kings Majesty and both his Houses of Parliament in opposition of any that shall oppose them and the country round adjoyning are very observant to any command to be in readinesse to attend there or else where for the defence of their Countrey lives liberties and estates and the defence of the true protestant Religion with their lives and all that is theirs so that it is now probable that the Lord Strange hath dismissed the most part of his men and is weary of what hee hath begun seeing no more supply come to his Lordship and heareing of the stay of foure of his engines of warre to bee sent to him stayed at the b●●●l savagene●●●●●●eet bridge according to his expectation We also credibly heare that Colonel Lansford and Captain Legge have appeared at Leicester with about 500 men horse and foote and great store of powder match and ammunition where aboue a hundred more Cavileers are gone to tender their service also one Mr. Hastings came out of Darby-shire with about 300 men some 100. Colyers and 32. ministers such as they were to animate their cause and Mr. Hastings mustered about 100 horse 120. musketteirs and 80 pikes by vertue of the Commission of Array who as it is thought came on purpose to ioyne with Colonell Lunsford and Captain Legge but being disappointed Mr. Hastings for feare stole away in the night and left his priests and Colliers to contend with each other who was the cause of their following so light a heeld gentleman so the men were dismissed their arms taken away and sent them every one into his owne Countrey but since we hear that Mr. Hastings is ioyned with Colonell Lunsford and Captain Legge we heare that the Earle of Stamford Lord Lieutenant of that County seeks by all meanes to suppresse with his wisedome and gravity these and all other the like insurrections and rebellions but what the event will be the Lord knowes We also heare from Newcastle that the Earle of Newcastle hath placed about 500 men in garrison is raising a troope of Horse and beats the Drum for Voluntiers but the trained bands in most places Refuse to come in also 4 peeces of Ordnanc● is carryed down to South Tixmonth and there are 300 men in worke making a Sconce to command all ships that come in and go out the towne is in greater perplexity already then they were all the time the Scots were there and Ship masters refuse to go in least their ships be stayed seeing such strange combustion beginning to arise Thus having certified you of the truest newes that is now amongst us which I pray God in his good time to cease all such Turbulent and malicious disturbers of this Common wealth with my best respects to your selfe and love to all my friends with the next convenience you shall heare from me In the meane time I take my leave and rest Your assured Loving Friend Will.
