THE DECLARATION AND RESOLUTION OF Col. John Poyer CONCERNING Lieutenant Gen. CROMWEL and the particular Relation of another great Fight in South-wales WITH A Declaration of the Kings Majesties Loyall Subjects in the Isle of Wyght concerning the Proceedings of Sir Thomas Glemham Colonell Iohn Poyer and the Scottish Army for the re-investing of the King in his Royall Palace at White-Hall and setling of the KINGDOME LIKEWISE A Letter from CARISBROOKE concerning the playing of a great Game by the Kings Majesty and Sir Oliver Cromwell and the particulars touching Colonell Hammond LONDON Printed for I. G. MDCXLVIII A DECLARATION OF The Kings Majesties loyall Subjects in the Isle of Wyght concerning the proceedings of Sir Thomas Glemham Col. Poyer and the Scottish Army touching the Parliament of England Army and Kingdom SIR YOur last I received Dated April the 25. 1648. I shall indeavour to communicate unto you the most remarkable passages that are more extant As for the state and condition of this Island wherein we are now resident we find them to be for the Major part verie reall and well-affected and willing to obey the power and Authority of Parliament and extraordinary obedient to the Cōmands of those intrusted by them as may appear by their late unanimous expressions both to our Governour and his Officers who having received intelligence of the proceedings of Col. Poyer and his confederates and their declaring for the King and most Judas-like and traterously betraying the trust reposed in them by the Parliament of England resolved with one unanimous consent to adhere stand firme to the supreame Power and Representatives of England and to hazard lives fortunes and estates for the defence preservation thereof notwithstanding many invitations lately sent for their engagements to the contrary And they further declared to our Governour Col. Hammond their unanimous and reall resolutions to adhere unto him according to the power and authority of the supreame Councel and Representatives of England and to stand or fall live or dye and to use their utmost endeavours to aid and assist him against all opposition whatsoever that shall endeavour to attempt or disturbe the Peace of the said Island under any pretence whatsoever Thus much I can assure you of the present proceedings of the Inhabitants of Weight yet notwithstanding they have received many false and various reports from severall parts of the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales to diswade them to the contrary And for the proceedings of Poyer Powel and their Adherents they utterly detest and declare against them being confident as indeed it may well and apparently appeare that their present D●sign and Engagement tends to no other end or principle but a meere selfe-end for the advancement of their owne wretched mechanick ambition rather then the preferment of the publike good of Englands Commonalty And for the Scots they declare according to the ancient rule and proverbe that they dare not nor will not put confidence in a blew Bonnet for say they Trust a Scot hang him although they pretend faire towards Religion Crown and Kingdom and for the re-instablishing of the Kings Majesty in his Throne at Westminster But indeed here is some few persons who expects great matters from Poyer and the Scots who at the first arising of the Cloud in Wales gave out very high speeches c. Sir as for the state and condition of the Kings Majesty I can assure you thus much that He is in health and merry but at the arrivall of the newes that the Duke of Yorke was escaped and gone His Majesty seemed to be very solentary His Majesty takes much delight in the company of Sir Oliver Cromwell and makes choice of him to be his second for the playing of the Game I meane at Bowles against Colonell Hammond or any other two Thus having communicated unto you that which is at present most observable I remaine Your most affectionate friend to serve you Thomas Hill Cornet Carisbrooke may the 2. 1642. Another great fight in Wales SIR COlonell Poyer Powel and the rest of the Malignants begin to be very fearfull and it is thought repent their undertakings Col. Powel being lately at Carmarthen Col. Horton marched towards him but the Welch having notice thereof pulled and brake down all the Bridg●s and indeavoured to stop the passages so that when Colonel Horton came to Portragorthy he found the Bridge down and Poyers men at the passage Col. Horton made towards another passage and the Rebells in a feare retreated to severall holds the Parl. forces being joyned followed them some slight skirmishes have happened but nothing of great consequence done as yet The Welch people being more afraid then hurt conceited that they should recive strange cruelties from the Souldiers of the Parl. whereupon they quite lest their dwellings and drove all their Cattell into the Mountains Col. Horton is very diligent in his service and with all possibility endeavours to straiten them because Malignants fl●ck unto him daily and also to hinder his getting provisions and mustering the Countrey as they had done in several places where at one time appeared about 4000. in another place 3000. and in another place 2000. many of them being armed and Powell the better to ingage the people declared himselfe for the King Here are divers Porters Butchers and such like rascally fellowes come hither from London the Welch indeavoured to make good their ground against the Parl. forces and incamped neare the River Towry about 20. miles from Pembrooke but when Col. Horton came they all retreated Embleden Castle is fortifying and 2. Companies of Col. Langhornes men under the Command of Captain Cosens and Captain Aires are to keepe it they had an intent to have put a Garison in the Castle of Aburustwith in Cardiganshire but I heare they have deserted it Monmouthshire is quiet in Herefordshire Major Sanders hath quelled the Malignants there and taken Col. Sherington Talbot prisoner Poyer makes away from the presence of Col. Horton Col. Horton hath had another great fight with Poyer and divers men slain on both sides but the number thereof I cannot justly give an account of it is said that Captain Powel of the enemies party hath received a mortall wound and divers other Commanders of note And indeed divers fell on our side but that which terrifies us the most is the fall of a great Souldier a man indued both with valour and Resolution Both parties draweth nearer and nearer and it is said Poyer is resolved to fight so is Col. Horton but Poyer is more in number then the party now against him therefore high time it is that the rest of the forces designed for this service be forthwith disp●tched thither which we hope will soone be effected for Poyer gives out high speeches and sayes that he feares neither Fairfax Cromwell nor Ireton but is resolved to fight it out to the last man we heare that Lieut. Gen. Cromwell is designed for this service and that he is upon his march thither with severall Regiments of Horse and Foote the Cavalry hath also received the same tydings and Poyer gives out that they will give him a field and shew him faire play and that he will be the first man that shal charge against Iron-sides saying that if he had a back of steele and breast of Iron he durst and would encounter with him Most of the Inhabitants in these parts are fled to the Mountains being troubled with too much malignancy and Mr. Vulcan hath shewn himselfe a great enemy to our proceedings for divers Smiths in severall Townes have cut up their Bellowes broke down their Stithies and made all their materialls unserviceable so that we cannot get a Horse shod not in 20. or 30. miles riding This is all for the present from Your oblieged friend T. Sands Carmarthen the 3. of May 1648. Imprimatur GILBERT MABBOT FINIS
