AN EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM YORKE Dated on FRIDAY night August 5 1642. August 9. London Printed for Abel Roper 1642. An Extract of a Letter from Yorke dated on friday right being the 5 of August 1642. NOtwithstanding his Maiesties warrant commanding a strict appearance of Horse and Foot of all the Trained Bands of this County which are neere upon 12000 yet not one in sixty appeared and those that did were such as are professed enemies to the Parliament and to make their number the more their Brethren in Confederacie against the Parliament the Papists appeared with good store of Horse but their Riders as was desired were of the Protestant Profession an expression that much enlightens our eyes as it hath Relation to Papists which next to the feare of having our Armes taken from us caused so slender an appearance looke to your selves in the South for they will suddenly appeare there also in Armes with Riders of the Protestant profession To digresse no further let me returne to our Thursday meeting and be pleased to peruse this inclosed speech of his Maiesties a part of that dayes worke wherein his Maiesty declares that hee takes it as a reproach cast upon him that any should say hee hath laid siege against Hull and yet such is the impudency of some of the Members of Lords and Commons in Parliament as after that Speech made in their presence to fram conclude a Petition to the Parliament wherein they expresse the King layd siege to Hull and hath now raised the same I hope his Maiesty for this offence will make them examples I mean the L. Faulckonbridge M. Bellasis Sir William Savile and diverse others I may adde this further concerning that Petition if they have not altered it since it was ingrossed it is the most daring Chalenge the most insolent language that ever was used to Parliament indeed a thing insufferable and was subscribed by the aforenamed persons and also by the Lord Savile the L. Darcy S. George Wentworth Sir Tho. Denby Sir Wil. Penniman M. Mallorie M. Al●brough M. Iohn Bellasis Members of Parliament and also by Sir Iohn Mallorie who was drawn to it against his will and by Sir Marmaduke Langdale formerly well affected who hath the Straffordian slavery still in his memory having never indeed beere in his right wits since his Lordship frighted him it is signed as I heare by none bu● by Sir Iohn Gothericke Sir Francis Wortley and that Crue that under pre ence of a Guard have endeavoured to raise an Army as you now see in this County if they could Let not the Parliament thinke that this handfull of ill-affected and malecontented persons have such power in this County as to be seconded by the Commons in this Bold-face Petition As soone as the Cavaliers are gon till then wee will be silent they shall know our minds are contrary to theirs they feare it And therefore they are raising 800. Horse Master Benson their Clarke can tell you he hath the list to be a Guard to this County but is indeed to disarme the Round-heads and Separatists a● they call them and under that name to leave naked all religious and wel-affected persons and arme none but Papists and Malignant Spirits and this is the designe through the Kingdome and looke to the armes of your Trained-bands betimes or it will be too late The designe of the Germain Horse will be executed by these men they often vow they will all dye but the Act that this Parliament shall not be dissolved without consent of both Houses shall be made voyd and then they say there shall be a tryenniall Parliament and dissolved as soone as it is called if they continue to oppose the King They are much perplexed here that Sir Iohn Hotham caused a Drummer of the Cavaliers to be hardly used as they say whereas it is a mis-report the affront he gave in the garrison was great his punishment but a sport There are divers of the Trained-bands at Beverley guarding the Magazine which is to follow the Cavaliers but I had like to have erred and said the Siedge is raised the Trenches are cast down the Ordnance at Paul and Hasell that endeavoured to stop all passages by water to Hull are removed the Proclamation on paine of death that no provision should goe to Hull is not in force or not observed for they keepe open Market there is no burning of wind-mils nor other hostile acts here is a Proclamation in Print of which also I send you a Copy that the Commissioners of Array should attach the Lord Brooke as a Traytor but it is since called in againe ten Earles five Lords one Secretary the Chancellor of the Exchequor Master Controller Sir Iacob Ashley and eight Cavaliers are all of the Councell of War they follow it close especially since newes came that Portsmouth is in a posture of opposition to the Parliament they sweare as soon as they come to Portsmouth they will have Goring out by head and shoulders for that he that betrayed the King before and the trust of the Parliament now will be true to neither King nor Parliament but turne like a Weather-cocke The Earle of Essex is slow in appearance Counties will be over-awed with Horse before supplies come the Cavaliers Horse are on their march There is newes newly come of the roaring of Cannon at New-castle the Fort at Tinmouth shooting at the Kings Ships which have seized of some armes comming out of Holland the Prebends and some of the Gentry of the Bishoprick of Durham are here and are so ready to advance monies to raise force against the Parliament that they part with the Billet-money due to the County FINIS
