1. This noble and faithfully affected Earle of Stamford having given many reall testimonies of his love to Religion and Loyalty to his Country was by this present Parliament for the timely suppressing and restraining of the ravenous cruelties of the Royalists in Herefordshire Cheshire and other Countries and for the better setling of the peace and security of them made Gen. of all South Wales and the 4 next adjacent Counties viz. Gloucester Worcester Hereford and Cheshire in ●esting him with power to raise forces in all those Countries and to appoint Officers and Commanders over them for the mutuall defence and preservation of them 2. Upon the confidence and trust which the Parliament reposed in the fidelity and activity of the noble Lord Gray Son and heyre to this noble and renowned Earle of Stamford both Houses appointed him also Lord Gen. of five northern Counties viz. Leicester Nottingham Darby Rutland and Lincoln to the high honour both of the most noble Father and his valiant and vermous noble Son 3. Being upon speciall occasion of the Kingdomes then great straites and exigences call'd into the West to oppose the oppressive cruelties and outrages of Sir Ralph Hopton he most undantedly forced his passage into Cornwall over a River though the Bridge was broken downe at a strong Garrison'd Towne called New-Bridge where hee bravely beat the Enemy slew divers in the skirmish took prisoners 7 or 8 Gentlemen of quality about 40 common souldiers and got very much Armes and Ammunition 4. After this this noble Earle of Stamford chasing and hunting that insolent rebel●ious and subtile Fox Sir Ralph Hopton from Bristoll and Exeter hee drove that theevish Sculker back again into Conwall with great losse of his Armes Ammunition and Ordnance 5. And in February 1643 this Noble Earle with his forces fell upon about 2000 at the least of his Cornish Enemies at Modbury where Sir Ralph Hopten had strongly intrenched them but out of which their trenches they were with the helpe of the Devonshire Clubmen most bravely beaton and forced to fly leaving behind them at least an 100 dead on the ground and twice as many wounded where they took 5 peeces of Ordnance about an 100 Muskets neer 80 prisoners and at least 40 horse 6. After this also this noble Earle fell fiercely upon Hopton in his quarters before Plimouth and forced him to forsake them leaving behind him for hast one of his greatest peeces of Ordnance that hee had in his Army And thus this noble Earle proceeded most successefully against the Parliaments Enemies till hee returned to the Parliament upon other State employments IN January 1643 this most noble and renowned Lord Generall David Lesley Earle of Leven in Scotland first marched out of Scotland from Barwick into England and led on an Army of about at least 20 thousand horse and foot to help the Lord against the mighty and mischievous Enemies of our Religion and liberties and that in the very midst of the bitterest and deepest frost and snow that men could march through even to just admiration with singular sincerity faithfulnesse fortititude and love unto us never to be forgotten but ever to bee registered with Characters of God in gratitude to God and them 2.

Hee with almost incredible patience and sufferance of hardship lying in the field in bata●ia about 3 miles distant from Sunderland with the hardinesse of his brave Scots so vexed and mouldred the Earle of Newcastles Army then lying in the field facing one another but not striking one stroke that hee made the said Earle of Newcastle silently steale away with the losse at that time of at least 800 horse and men yet I say not one stroke being strook between them 5. Hee pursued the said Earle of Newcastle with his brave Scottish forces to Durham which also hee took with all the Armes and Ammunition in it 6.
