Dragoones and 500. more in a reserve to march after them marched out from the Leaguer towards the Club-men and facing them they drew into Batalia and stood in a great and ancient Roman worke which is upon those hills and admitted a Parley Lieutenant Generall Crumwell demanded of them the reason of their rising they answered to redeeme their heads requiring the Commissioners to be delivered to them and then they said they would return home but without their Leaders they would not disband Lieut Gen Cromwell returned answer that they had them Prisoners and that they were to answer for what they had done and that they were at Sherburne with the Generall and made a very full and worthy speech to them to perswade them to be wise and returne home in peace shewing them how they have been misled by a company of Malignants and declaring what care the Generall had taken to secure their estates and settle peace amongst them and what comfort they found that submitted thereunto But the Club-men were very unruly vapouring and protesting pounctually to rescue and redeeme their Leaders indeed they are the very notorious ringleaders of the Malignants of these parts but the moderate party especially about Sommersetshire doe much deride their folly Lievttenant Generall Cromwell took great paines to appease them without shedding of blood but nothing would satisfie them but to have their Leaders their Heads delivered to them Whereupon the Club-men being in Battalia Leivtenant General Cromwel drew up his Forces and charged them with the 500. Dragoons and slew some 12 of them wounded many tooke some 2 or 300 Prisoners of the most notorious of them and routed and dispersed the rest who fled all home leauing their Colours and their Armes behinde them And we hope that now they will no more trouble us so againe Sherburne August 4th 1645.
