of such a Senate shews vigour and strength and activity in all the parts and all the powers and engines and machinations of the Enemy is to disarme to murder to massacre to unprivilegde this Parliament Aul. The Prince is wise and valiant and those that are about him are so tender of his honour that they will not leave his Highnesse whilst they have one drop of bloud in their bodies is this great work that they are about to subdue and utterly root out you and all the faction that will not throw their necks under the feet of his Highnesse in obedience to King Charles Brit. Indeed you may call Rupert his Highnesse for hee hopes to be higher then his Majestie if all be true I hear from thence Rupert is fitting his head for a Crowne and hath a Montero which he means to make use of under it if his head be not too little for it as it must needs be indeed But what shall that Kingdom do where he gets the Crown for he will presently send it after the Jewels But before the Crowne be set upon his head I would first have his head at a reasonable distance from the wilder part of his bodie Aul. You would have him beheaded then would you truly that were a thousand pities for if hee were gone I thinke we should never have such a Champion againe to follow the businesse home hee subdues all where hee comes and spares neither man woman nor child The last Sunday I was m●ditating of his Majesties Coronation and then you would no think how it troubled mee to consider of the Treasons and Covenants and close Committees and looking in my Calender I found the noble Prince Rupert recorded the very next day after his Majesties Coronation in M. N●worths Almanack this was a providence Brit. This is a malignant Oxford papisticall trick to put Rupert so close to the Coronation how dare you thus goe about to inaugurate the wild Prince I warrant thou wouldest be the first that would worship him if hee should come to the Crown and he bad fair for it before his routing at York the soulderie began to admire him and hee rid in state upon the trappings of his successe and one said It is pitie your Highnesse is but a Commander of horse you are worthie to command a Kingdome an other whispers him that the peoples eyes are upon him and the yongman rid farre higher in his saddle then hee doth now Would it not have been a prettie feat to have seen him conquer an inheritance for himselfe in the name of his Majestie but God be blessed hee is now cut short and we hope shortly to see the hot spirited yongster see all his hopes quite frustrate Aul. Oh if you had seene how hee was beloved in Lancashire you would not offer to speake so when hee was there with his Armie before the fight hee did much increase it with the Catholikes of those parts hee set on the Commission of Array with successe and the Earle of Derbies Dependants resorted to him and Colonell Goring hath beene so active since his libertie that hee never took rest since his lodging in the Tower and with a great Armie the Prince marched like the swift clouds to raise the siege at York Brit. God be thanked that Cloud did much obscure the North but it is now dissipated and God hath given his servants a glorious victorie over the Enemies of their Religion and libertie The plundering Prince with his Irish Rebels papists and other desperate Russians were totally routed and defeated 3000 of them being ●●aine on the place and 1500 taken with 3 peece of Ord●ance 10000 Armes with all their Ammunition bag and baggage 100 and odde Colours And whilst our souldiers were in the heat of execution Prince Rupert was much beholding to the gallantrie of his Horse who in the conclusion surpassed all the rest of his followers in swiftnesse Aul. Indeed the Prince was sent to relieve York but hee hindred them and fought with the Roundheads against the Councell and advice of the Commanders Brit. It pleased God it should be so that so by this means hee might be routed but it hath so displeased the Earle of Newcastle that hath left his Commission behind him and it is brought up to the Parliament but hee is fled after his plunder and so I warrant you will Rupert after him shortly Aul. No such matter The Prince hath rallied his m●n again and recruted himselfe and is foure or 5000 ●●rong again and hopes to recrute his honour too The papists have not quite taken off their hopes from him it is hoped hee will doe well enough with his horse to rang up and down till the popish Irish good subjects come over to joine with him for the defence of the Protestant Religion and the liberty of the Subject Brit. We believe the Irish are preparing to come because we heare Rupert … s to meet the● but sure it was not the Pidlers but our Cannons at the Leaguer that made him dance in the Bean field till he was so fain to lie downe and sing the lamentation of a totall routing Aul. You will talke of great matters as you did of the taking of Yorke Newcastle Oxford but you see wee keepe them still and vvere very neer the taking of Hull which we hoped vvould have been delivered up to us Brit. Indeed Aulicus this is that which hath done us 〈◊〉 mischief You have had them amongst us ●…ho h●●● acted for you We found in Ruperts Sumpter such 〈…〉 have discovered all your tricks and vvee see now how you come to cheat us of Towns and Castles formerly and hovv you come by all your intelligence of our proceedings There vvee found C.
