L. Leith Aug. 30. 1651 A true Relation with the particulars of a great Victory by our Forces near Worcester against the King of Scots Army c. SIR THis day hath been a very glorious day this day twelve-moneth was glorious at Dunbar this day hath been glorious before Worcester the word then was the Lord of Hosts and so it was now and indeed the Lord of Hosts was wonderfully with us the same signal we had now as then which was to have no white about us and indeed the Lord hath cloathed us with white garments though to the enemy they have been bloody only this hath been the difference that at Dunbar our work was at break of day and done ere the morning was over but now it was towards the shutting of the evening and not past till the night came so on us that we could not see far before us that was the beginning of their fall before the appearance of the Lord Jesus this seems to be the setting of the yong Kings glory In the morning Lieut. Gen. Fleetwood had order to advance with his brigade on the other side Severn all things being prepared for the making of a bridg having cleared our passages with a forlorne we laid a bridg over severn in that place where the river Team runs into it so that by that means we had an advantage to lay another bridg over the river Team which accordingly was done our foot disputed the hedges with much courage and resolution the fight began on the other side of Severn and our Foot from this side began it they clearing the way for the rest to come over after them the right Wing of Lieut. Generall Fleetwoods Forces came over the bridg that was made over Team while the left Wing disputed the bridge at Poyke a quarter of a mile beyond the River which dispute lasted a long time and was very hot but the Lord gave our men to gaine ground of the Enemy till we had beaten them out of the ground the charges was very hot for a while but the Lord owned us in this Contest and the Enemy fled before us while this was doing the enemy rallying made a very bold sally out on this side of the Towne and came with great bodies of horse and foot supposing most of our Army had been drawne out on the other side they gave our men a very hot salute and put them to a little retreat and disorder but in a short while the Lord gave us victory on this side also our foot did very noble and gallant service and they disputed with them not onely the hedges but followed them boldly to the very mouth of their Cannon which was planted on their Mountaine works at length we gained their works and planted their great Guns against them in the Town and we heare that some of our horse and foot are in the North and East end of the Towne the night came on so fast that he could not pursue further most of their horse are escaped but my Lord General hath dispatched Major General Harrisons Brigade after them to follow them which way soever they are gone we cannot yet give an account who are taken or slaine but we conceive the number of their slain farre exceeds the number of the prisoners but I guesse the number of the kild and taken to be about 5000 to morrow we shall be able to give you a fuller relation the Lord hath done great things for England Our Quartermaster General and Cap. Iones are slaine and Mr. Howard Captaine of the Life-guard is wounded Major Gen. Lamberts horse was shot under him but through the goodnesse of God we have not lost many a prisoner that we have taken tels us that he believes their King is either slaine or taken The Countrey would doe wel to rise upon the Fugitives that they may not rally again or imbodie to doe any more mischiefe You know now what you are to doe blesse the Lord with us and for us the next shal be more punctuall I am Yours to serve you ROBERT STAPYLTON From our Quarters on the East side of Severn neer the River 10 at night 3 Sept. 1651.
