A FAMOUS VICTORY OBTAINED BY THE Right Honourable the Lord BROOKS against the Earle of NORTHAMPTON on the third of August 1642. neere Keintith in Warwick-shire SIR AT the last meeting of the said Earle the Lord Brooks I informed you upon what Conditions they agreed on namely that there should be three dayes warning given before the removall of any Ammunition from Banbury to Warwicke Castle which was performed by the said Lord for having sent a Message to the said Earle that he was resolved to put the command of the High Court of Parliament in execution withall desiring him to desist from putting the Commission of Array in execution it being both illegall and destructive to the peace of the Kingdome Which Message being received by the Earle of Northampton He presently caused those of his partie to arme themselves animating them on and telling them that then was the time for them to doe their King and Countrey good and acceptable service with many other vaine glorious speeches which indeed were usefull At that time those of his parrie for the major part being very cold in their affections toward that designe yet neverthelesse by his flattering Orations he drew a considerable company to him of Gentlemen and other poore men that were seduced by his pretence of standing for the King Which having obtained he put them into Order and marcht towards Keintith unto a plaine Heath over which the Lord Brooks was to march with his Ammunition The Lord Brooks according to his word set forward having onely three hundred Musketteers sixtie Pikes and about two hundred Horse being severall well affected Gentlemen that were Inhabitants in and about Banbury neverthelesse such was the affection of the said Countie toward the Parliament and knowing no way better to expresse it than to the Lord Brooks which was a member therof they resolved to lend their best ayde and assistance to the said Lord to the end that thereby he might be the better enabled to discharge that trust which was committed to him Wherefore they in severall companies met him on the way proffering their lives and fortunes to be commanded by him so that before he had marched three miles be had about three thousand horse and foote with which he marched till he arrived the Heath where the Earle of Northampton was accompanied with his partie the sight of whom caused the said Lord to make a stand which being effected he drew up his Foote into a compleat Body placing his Horses on the wings likewise his Ordnance being mounted on running carriages he drew up in the middle making a small division to the end that if occasion were they might offend the enemy and yet indure no hazard Having in this order placed them He with a chearfull countenance asked them if they were resolved to stand it out and to hazard their lives in the defence of the King and Parliament They with a generall shout confirmed it shewing such symptomes of their forwardnesse that made my Lord Brooks weepe with very ioy giving them thankes with such a heartie love which wrought so with them that they marcht forward with such confidence that they disheartned the other partie who were ready to revolt before they came to parley Neverthelesse the Lord Books intreated them as they esteemed the peace of the Kingdome not for to shoot one Pistoll without they were inforced for their defence onely to use all meanes they could for to outdare them by that meanes to attaine their desires without the effusion of bloud In the meane time the Earle of Northampton had bestowed Lip-labour on his valiant followers and heartned them on drawing them on within Pistoll-shot of the Lord Brooks which being done they made a stand and beat a Parley Which was answered by my Lord Brooks and twenty Gentlemen chose out of either partie as Guards for to secure them both parties met and the Earle of Northampton made his demands which were to this effect 1. That the said Lord Brooks should deliver him the Ammunition which he had in his command for to be imployed in his Majesties service 2. That he should desist in putting the Militia in execution 3. That he should resigne Warwicke Castle Withall threatning my Lord Brooks that if he should deny his just lawfull and friendly Demands not doubting the resolution of his followers and knowing the justice of his cause he would make that place their graves that stood in opposition giving them such reproachfull words that the twenty Gentlemen that were elected as a Guard to the Lord Brooks unexspectedly disarmed the Guard on the other partie unhorsing of them before ever they knew what the matter was which the Earle seeing clapt spurres to his Horse and rid to the Head of his Troopes bidding them give fire Like Wise the Lord Brooks caused his men to open to the right and left which being done the Adverse partie might see his Ordnance mounted and his Cannon neere ready to give fire Which they seeing in stead of fighting began to throw downe their Armes and ran away some to the Lord Brooks and some to their owne Houses leaving the Earle none but one of his Gentlemen and two foot-boyes to attend him which caused the said Earle to try whether He or his foot-boyes could run fastest Which caused such a shouting on the other side as was wonderfull to heare This danger being over the Lord Brooks caused the Armes to be gathered up that they had left behind them and put them upon a Waggon and afterward read a Vote of the Lords Commons Concerning the Commission of Array namely that the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament That the Commissions of Array granted by his Maiestie are altogether illegall destructive to the peace of the Kingdom against the Lawes of the Land and the libertie of the Subiect withall encouraging them on to a readinesse to obey the Parliament and to withstand the Commissioners of Array Which being done He took his lourney forward where I will leave Him and you till the next opportunitie shall give occasion to informe you of His further Proceedings From Banbury this 3. of August 1642.
