before_o it_o towards_o the_o out_o side_n of_o it_o stand_v our_o left_a wing_n of_o horse_n advance_v a_o little_a forward_o to_o the_o top_n of_o a_o hill_n where_o they_o stand_v in_o a_o

wheel_v about_o abandon_v their_o musketeer_n and_o come_v run_v down_o with_o the_o enemy_n horse_n at_o their_o heel_n and_o

among_o they_o pell-mell_o just_a upon_o col._n hollis_n his_o regiment_n and_o break_v through_o it_o though_o col._n hollis_n himself_o when_o he_o see_v they_o come_v run_v towards_o he_o go_v and_o plant_v himself_o just_a in_o the_o way_n and_o do_v what_o possible_o he_o can_v do_v to_o make_v they_o stand_v and_o at_o last_o prevail_v with_o 3_o troop_n to_o wheel_v a_o little_a about_o and_o rally_v but_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o horse_n of_o that_o wing_n and_o the_o enemy_n horse_n with_o they_o break_v through_o and_o run_v to_o kineton_n where_o most_o of_o the_o enemy_n leave_v pursue_v they_o and_o fall_v to_o plunder_v of_o our_o wagon_n by_o which_o many_o of_o we_o have_v receive_v very_o great_a loss_n and_o by_o name_n your_o servant_n that_o now_o write_v to_o you_o notwithstanding_o their_o break_n through_o col._n hollis_n his_o regiment_n it_o be_v not_o dismay_v but_o together_o with_o the_o other_o regiment_n of_o that_o brigado_fw-it march_v up_o the_o hill_n and_o so_o make_v all_o the_o haste_n they_o can_v to_o come_v up_o to_o fight_v and_o get_v the_o wind_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o come_v on_o if_o we_o may_v say_v it_o ourselves_o but_o we_o must_v do_v the_o soldier_n right_a most_o gallant_o and_o charge_v the_o enemy_n who_o be_v then_o in_o fight_n with_o our_o van_n and_o the_o right_a wing_n of_o our_o horse_n and_o as_o be_v say_v before_o help_v to_o defeat_v the_o two_o regiment_n forementioned_a and_o make_v all_o the_o rest_n run_v but_o two_o other_o regiment_n which_o retire_v orderly_o and_o at_o last_o make_v a_o stand_n and_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o canon_n and_o a_o ditch_n before_o they_o hold_v we_o play_v very_o handsome_o and_o by_o this_o time_n it_o grow_v so_o dark_a and_o our_o powder_n and_o bullet_n so_o spend_v that_o it_o be_v not_o hold_v fit_a we_o shall_v advance_v upon_o they_o but_o there_o we_o stand_v in_o very_o good_a order_n draw_v up_o all_o our_o force_n both_o horse_n
