Lilburnes Regiment of Horse to the Earle of Derbie who was raising men here in this County for the Scots King The Earl at his comming over from the Isle of Man brought but 300 men whereof 60 were horse but landing about the middle of the shire when the Scots Army were passing out of it he had the better opportunity by our destractions to march up to Warrington to them and there he had the assistance of Major Gen. Massy with a Regiment of Horse to countenance his proceedings while he gathered more to him who afterwards leaving him when the Earles Forces were reputed considerable to carry on the worke and there being none in this County left competent to make opposition but all marched out with the Army I sent both to my Lord Generall and the Major Generalls to acquaint them with it whereupon Col. Lilburne came very opportunely yet the enemy being stronger in Foote and securing himselfe betwixt two Rivers he was not to be attempted by Horse only and all that could be afforded in assistance were two Foot Companies from Chester one of my Regiment left about Manchester not being so ready as the rest to march out and what Musketeers I horsed from hence with some few Country men but since my Lord Generals owne Regiment of Foot being sent up and within one dayes march the Enemy attempted towards the Scots Army and being pursued by Col. Lilburnes Regiment and the small addition before named without the conjunction of my Lord Generalls Regiment It pleased God to give them an absolue over-throw as the inclosed from Col.
