left also foure pieces of Ordnance behinde them which Canterburie men seized on and went to Sir Edward Hales house within half a mile of Sittingborn who notwithstanding that he was a Parliament-man and one of the Deputie Lievtenants of this Countie and so neer them yet used no meanes to appease any of these tumults but rather administred secret helps and encouragements to them and his Grand-childe and heire being chosen Captain of these rebells whom therefore with his Grand-father Sir Edward Hales they took into their custodie together with Mr Farnabie a School-Master a great stickler also in this insurrection and a man of a very insolent and malignant spirit and shortly after they were all namely Sir Edward Hales Sir George Sands the Major of Feversham Mr Farnabie and the rest of note were brought to London to the Parliament and after examination there were all committed to prison Sir Edward and Sir George to the Tower of London Mr Farnabie to Newgate and the rest to the Fleet. And thus by Gods great mercy and good providence this so dangerous an insurrection was most happily and timely appeased and this Countie afterward reduced into a most quiet and peaceable condition As by an Ordinance of Parliament which not long after came forth whereby authoritie was given to the Deputie Lievtenants and well-affected prime patriots of that Countie for the better securing of the peace thereof may more fully appeare and which said Declaration for the Readers fuller satisfaction I have thought fit heer to insert and set down verbatim as it was published by authoritie of Parliament An Ordinance of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament touching the Rebellion in Kent Die Mercurii August 16. 1643.

Greenvile contrary to his promise ingagement and honour of a Souldier hath basely unworthily and faithlesly deserted the said service and felloniously carryed away the money paid unto him in regard of the said Service These are to proclaime the said Richard Greenvile Traitor Rogue Villaine and Schellum not onely uncapable of military imployment but of all acquaintance and conversation with men of honesty and honour And this Proclamation in the mean time to be nailed on the gallows whilst it shall please God to deliver the said Greenvile into the hands of justice that he himself may supply the room of this Proclamation Done this 15. of March 1643. Much also about the same time by an Ordinance of Parliament there was again farther Order taken besides what I have already mentioned herein before for the more holy and happy institution and education of his Majesties two children at St. Jameses where severall new Officers and Attendants were appointed to waite on the Duke of Gloucester and the Princesse Elizabeth as namely reverend religious and learned Mr. Torshell to be Houshold Chaplain and that truely pious and gracious Gentleman Mr Humphries to be Mr. Comptroler c. and that those which were Malignant corrupt and Popishly affected should be quite displaced and removed thence and the former Prelaticall Priests to be also utterly casheired and in their stead reverend and truely pious and Orthodoxly learned Mr. Stephen Marshall Mr. Ieremiah Whitaker Mr. Caryll Mr. Obadiah Sedgewick and Mr. William Spurstow were assigned to preach constantly by turnes before them thus by Gods gracious assistance and speciall blessing to instill holy and holesome principles into their Princely hearts About the 16. of this instant came certain Intelligence by Letters from Lime to London that besides that former gallant exploit of the Garrison of Lime in Dorsetshire in taking of the Town of Bredport and between an 120 and 140 horse and good store of Armes Ammunition pillage and many prisoners which exploit was performed by that much to be renowned and most valiant and wise Commander Captain Thomas Pyne whom fame hath not in any thing so much injured as that his name and honour hath been till now retarded and kept under a cloud of silence both in his accompanying the severall precedent atchieuments of that brave and famous Garrison wherein he under God hath had a speciall interest This most Loyall and active Commander I say since the taking of Bredport issued out of Lyme with a party of horse and dragoones against the enemy in their garrison at Burley-House within seven miles of Lyme belonging to Count Arundell a rand Papist which House is very strongly scituated with a fair moat about it and 2. pieces of ordnance in it Yet notwithstanding by assault these valiant assailants entred the same tooke above 50 ●risoners whom they carryed to Lyme the rest escaped the said two pieces of ordnance also and presently put a garrison of their owne men into it of about 200 men to defend and maintane the same by meanes whereof they compelled contribution from at least 11 adjacent parishes which before payd the Kings Army besides Bredport within a mile thereof Much also about the same time namely the middest of this instant March 1643. came certaine information by Letters out of Wales and especially about the County of Pembroke that that most loyall couragious and successefull Captaine and Commander by Sea pious Captaine Swanley with certaine good Ships arrived by Gods good providence in Milford-haven on the coasts of Wales where at their arrivall they found at Anchor in the Haven the Globe of Bristol and a small Ship which arrived there in Milford about 8 daies before they came in and had brought from Bristoll Ammunition to fortifie the Harbour both great Gunnes Powder Bullet and other provisions and had landed them where after some opposition by the Enemy against them and many shot exchanged on both sides the Admirall with the joynt consent of the rest of the Commanders built a Fort on the Southside of the said Harbour over against the Pyll where the Enemy was fortified on the North side of the Harbour and placed therein a Demy-Cannon wherewith they played into the Enemies Workes which proved a great encouragement un to many in the County when they heard of it to adhere unto the well-affected party who at that time were very weake and inconsiderable This Fleet being thus safely setled in the Harbour Colonell Laughorne a pious and singularly well-affected Gentleman of that Countie together with the Mayor of Pembrooke a very religious Gentleman also came aboard the Leopard and informed the Admirall with the feeble condition the well-affected partie was in in those parts as also of the strength power and insolency of the adverse partie For after the enemy had Fortified the Northside of the Harbour they intended also to have fortified the Southside within a day or two after had not this their arrivall thus happily frustrated that designe of the Enemies and then how difficult if not impossible the entrance into that Haven had been any one may judge The Earle of Carbery had voted they mightily presuming on their strength and fearelesse of all opposition the Haven being once so fortified hee would plunder the Town of Pembrooke and the houses of the Gentlemen who had in any measure adhered to the Parliaments Party and that their persons should be put to death by cruell tortures and the Mayor of Pembrooke they gave out should be put into a barrell of nailes and brought to Prikspill and from the top of a hill should bee rowled downe into the Sea Which report so terrified the Gentlemen of the County that they fled from their houses and hid themselves in obscure places in disguises and sent their wives and children to Tynby where this Atheisticall Lord lay humbly to supplicate his Mercy and protection Among whom there was a reverend aged Gentlewoman the wife of one Master Griffith White who had in her house 8 Sonnes and 8 Daughters who were Virgines and foure small Grand-children in all twenty in number with divers Servants both Male and Female This Gentlewoman pressing his Lordship to commiserate her sad estate in case her house should bee plundered desiring his protection His Lordship replyed hee would grant her none The Gentlewoman with teares in her eyes desired his Lordship to looke on her Children who in point of honour he stood engaged to protect as also the Chastity of Matrons and Virgines the which without his Lordships protection she said would undoubtedly be violated and her Family perish To which his Atheisticall Lordship replyed with divers reproaches and some jests among That it were better her Children and Familie should perish than that the the King should want meanes to perfect his designes To which she said his Majesty could not want if he would be graciously pleased to be content with what God and the Laws have provided
