Peece of Ordnance The Town and Forts of Newcastle London Printed by Bernard Alsop according to Order 1644. THE VICTORIOVS LORD FAIRFAX HIS Surprizing of Whitby in York shire with the men Armes Ammunition Ships and Ordnance with divers other particulers thereof MY Lord Fairfax having taken Burlington Bay the farthest Haven Towne in the East-Riding of Yorkeshire and placed a Garrison for the Parliament in it he marched from thence into the North-Riding and having passed over at Pottersbrimton and so to Yerley and quartering in those parts the Countrey of the said East-Riding of Yorkeshire came in to him in an abundance being very ready to take the Covenant and to assist the Parliament against the Papists and Prelates the Enemies thereof So that the Lord Fairfax marched toward Whitby a Haven Town in the farthest part of Yorkeshire with a very considerable Army intending that if the Enemy would not deliver up the Town to storm it for Whitby was a very strong Garrison of the Earle of Newcastles But the Enemy considering in what condition they were surrendred up the Towne to the Lord Fairfax wherein were above five hundred Captaines Lieutenants Commanders Officers and common Soldiers besides at the least twenty of the Commission of Aray and almost a thousand Sailers and inhabitants of the Town all which have delivered up the Town and joyned themselves with the Lord Fairfax besides forty ships which were then in the Channell Also the Lord Fairfax seized on all their Works Ships Powder Ammunition five hundred Armes many Barrels of Powder match and other Ammunition and traine of Artillery and it is supposed at the least a hundred Peece of Ordnance in the Ships and upon the Workes all which the Lord Fairfax hath seized on for the use of the Parliament A Relation of the taking of the Workes at Newcastle by the Scots with divers other Passages concerning the Siedge and an onset by them made upon the Town THe Earle of Newcastle it seemes foresaw the danger he was in and how probable it was that he might by all likelyhood lose since not onely the Lord Fairfax encreased his strength but our Brethren of Scotland also were so near him and therefore the Earle of Newcastle Generall King and divers others of the chiefest Commanders went into Newcastle it is supposed to try if they can escape away by Sea but our Brethren of Scotland are very glad to hear that they are there for they have layd close Siedge to it and making an onset upon them beat upon their Workes and with the losse of onely 14. men slew many of the enemies recovered the Glasse-houses and one of their Forts not the least considerable and were got on both sides the Towne so that it is not any wayes possible that they can hold out long Our Brethren of Scotland are quartered about Morpeth Ogle-Castle Seton Prude and as many as well can lye before Newcastle The Scots sent forth a party which with some Boates made as a Bridge over the River at Newcastle One Brigade of Horse and Foot and Dragoons with some Ordnance are marching towards Durham and a party of them are to stay on the South side of Newcastle in the Bishopricke to secure the Coale Pits on that side and to keep the Enemy from firing them In the taking of the Shelds there is no great difficulty and Tinmouth Castle will be forced to yeild up when Newcastle is taken The Earle of Warwicks Ships lye before Tinmouth to keep in the malignant Ships So that now we may see a plaine demonstration of Gods blessing since the taking of the Covenant there is no more now between the Lord Fairfax and our Brethren of Scotland save only the Bishopricke of Durham for Whitby which the Lord Fairfax hath taken is adjacent to the hithermost part of the Bishoprick and Newcastle at the further part adjacent to the Country of Northumberland so that between them it is not forty miles The City of Durham it selfe being just in the mid way which when they hear that Newcastle is taken can have little hopes to build upon to stand out against the two Armies By this time there is no doubt but Newcastle is in the hands of the Scots it being a fortnight since the Messenger that brought this Message left them in this condition The Earle of Newcastle seeing that now he can do no more mischief in that Country hath fired and burnt down as it is supposed nigh an hundred houses and all the goods of so many poor families in the Suburbs of Newcastle notwithstanding the cryes of many poor widowes and fatherlesse children that begged of him with teares to refrain from the doing thereof A List of the Names of the chiefe Malignants in Newcastle Earle Newcastle Lord Widdrington Vic.
