Sackvile Mr Henry Howard George Porter with many more The action of the hill was carried with as much bravery both by our Horse and Foot as on the Heath by the Horse alone the Foot Commanded by Sir Nicholas Byron the Horse by Sir John Byron who after six houres the hottest dispute that hath beene seene gain'd it from my Lord of Essex his owne guards that had possest it enjoyed it quietly many houres and in the end the Enemy setting up his rest to regaine it after as hot a fight as at their taking it repulsed him and kept it still Officers of note hurt there were Colonell Darcy George Lisle and Ned Villiers and the Lord Viscount Falkland volunteering it with too much bravery unfortunately killed I may have omitted many persons as eminent in their actions that day as some of these I have named but it being so endlesse a task to nominate all I have only particularized such as I conceive to be of your Lordships acquaintance Your Lordship doth not expect that I should tell you of noble men killed on the othe side nor much of Gentry but of such things as they call Officers their Prisoners assure us concurringly that the most and principall of them are slaine The night comming upon us soon after the Enimies finall repulse from that hill the King drew all his Army up to the top of the heath keeping possession both of that and of the hill till towards night at which time His Horse and Foot being extreamly tyred and beeing probably informed that the Enimy had retreated with their carriages and a principall part of their Army it was thought sit to draw his Horse into Quarters on the other side of the River and His foot into the Towne principally to refresh them and to inable them for the next daies pursuit but in part for J will conceale nothing from your Lordship to make a Bridge to a flying Enimy least indeed too great a despaire of retreat might have made them opiniate a second fight in that disadvantagious place where having not to tell you the truth Powder enough left for halfe such another day having spent foure score barrells in it threescore more then had served the turne at Edge-hill nor could we be assured that the supply from Oxford of 100. Barrells more could come to us till the next day at noon Thus my Lord have I given your Lordship as true an accompt as I can of Gods blessing upon the justice of His Majesties Armies that day which considering the disadvantages we fought upon may well be counted in it selfe a happy successe but in the effects it hath since had in our pursuit of my Lord of Essex our defeating in that pursuit his two best remaining Regiments of Horse our dissipating in so great a measure his Army and sending the Rebells back with so much terrour to their nest London may well be reputed a great victory and yet I am confident that our having gained the Field Colours Cannon store of Prisoners from them beaten them from all places that we under took repulsed them from all that they attempted our having execution on them in their flight ' and all this with the losse of halfe their numbers and the confest ensignes of a battaile gained will not have kindled lighter bonefires with us in joy and thankesgiving then with the remaining Rebells in hopes yet farther to abuse the people by passing still upon them deliverancies for Victories From NEWBURY this 22. of Sept. 1643. Your Lordships most humble Servant
