LONDON Printed for FRANCIS WRIGHT 1642. SIR WE should doe our Army a great deale of wrong and not discharge our duty of thankfulnesse towards God if wee tooke not the first occasion to declare his goodnesse in giving so great a blessing as hee hath now done to the resolute and unwearied endeavours of our Souldiers fighting for him in the maintenance of his Truth and for themselves and their Countrey in defence of their Liberties and the priviledges of ●arliament This makes us give you now a Narration of a blessed Victory which God hath given us upon the Army of the Cavaliers and of those evill persons who upon Sunday the 23. of this instant ingaged his Majesty in a dangerous and bloody fight against his faithfull Subjects in the Army raised by Authority of Parliament for the preservation of his Crowne and Kingdome Wee marched from Worcester Wednesday the 19. upon Intelligence that the Army was moved from Shrewesbury and Bridgenorth and bending Southward our Train of Artillery was so unready through want of draught Horses and through our omission of Monsieur du Boys that we were forced to leave it behind to follow us and with it the Regiments of Colonell Hambden and Colonell Grantham and staying for it wee could advance no further then to a little Market-towne called Kyneton in Warwickeshire sixe miles from Warwicke whither we came the Saturday night with 11. Regiments of Foot 42. troops of Horse and about 700. Dragoones in all about ten thousand men there we intended to rest the Sabbath day and the rather that our Artillery and the Forces left with it might come up to us In the morning when we were going to Church we had Newes brought us That the Enemy was two miles from us upon a high Hill called Edge-hill whereupon wee presently marched forth into a great broad field under that Hill called The vale of the red Horse and made a stand some halfe a mile from the foot of the Hill and there drew into Battalia where we saw their Forces come downe the Hill and draw likewise into Battell in the bottome a great broad company Their Forces appeared to be much greater then we could possibly have conceived them to be by the confession of the prisoners wee have taken they that say least say fourteene thousand which is the Earle of Lindsey's Relation who was their Generall but others say eighteen thousand and above 4000. horse and Dragoones The wind was much for their advantage and they endeavoured to get it more which to prevent we were inforced to draw out our left Wing to a great breadth and by that meanes before the Battell was done gained it wholly from them In our right Wing were three Regiments of Horse the Lord Generals commanded by Sir Philip Stapleto Sir William Balfore and the Lord Fieldings Sir Iohn Meldrums Brigado had the Van Colonel Essex was in the middle and Colonell Bullard with the Lord Generalls Regiment his owne the Lord Brookes and Colonell Hollis in the Reare In the left Wing were 24. troops of Horse commanded by Sir Iames Ramsey their Commissary Generall In this posture wee stood when th' other Army advanced towards us the strength of their horse were on their right Wing opposit to our left Wing In their left Wing they had but ten troops but their Foot which appeared to us divided into nine great Bodies came up all in front and after some playing with the Canon on both sides that part of it which was on their left and towards our right Wing came on very gallantly to the Charge and were as gallantly received and charged by Sir Philip Stapletons and Sir William Balfore's Regiments of Horse assisted with the Lord Roberts and Sir William Constables Regiments of Foot who did it so home thrice together that they forced all the Musquetiers of two of their best Regiments to run in and shrowd themselves within their Pikes not daring to shoot a shot and so stood When our Reare came up and then charging all together especially that part of our Rear which was plac'd upon the right and so next unto them which was the Lord Generals Regiment and the Lord Brooks led on by Colonell Ballard who commanded that Brigado forced that stand of Pikes and wholly broke those two Regiments and slew and took almost every man of them The Earle of Lindsey his son the Lord Willoughby and some other persons of note are prisoners Sir Edmund Varney who carried the Kings Standard was slain by a Gentleman of the Lord Generals Troop of horse who did much other good service that day and the Standard taken which was afterwards by the Lord Generall himself delivered unto his Secretary M. Chamber● with an intention to send it back the next day unto His Majesty but the Secretary after he had carried it long in his hand suffred it to be taken away by some of our Troopers and as yet we cannot learn where it is The other two Regiments of our Rear Col. Hollis and Col. Ballard charged those which were before them and then the whole Body of the Kings Foot except two other Regiments ran away by this time it grew so late and dark and to say the truth our Ammunition at this present was all spent that we contented our selves to make good the field and gave them leave to retire up the hil in the night But before we come to this we will give you an account of what passed in the other parts of our Army before our Reare came up to charge Our battell at the very first wholly disbanded and ran away without ever striking stroke or so much as being charged by the Enemy though Col. Essex himselfe and others that commanded those Regiments in chief did as much as men could doe to stay them but Col. Essex being forsaken by his whole Brigado went himself into the Van where both by his direction and his owne execution he did most gallant service till he received a shot in the thigh of which he is since dead Now for our Rear thus it was before it towards the out side of it stood our left wing of Horse advanced a little forward to the top of a hill where they stood in a Battalia lined with commanded Muskettiers 400 out of Col. Hollis Regiment and 200 out of Col. Ballards but upon the first charge of the Enemy they wheeled about abandoned their Muskettiers and came running down with the enemies horse at their heels and
