to Oxford The King marched from Oxford where by the way to London came Commissioners from the Parliament rendring Propositions and desiring that during the Treaty the Kings Army should march no neerer this way to spin time while Essex could recruit his Army therefore the King advanced from C●lebrook and came to Brainford where part of the Parliaments Army being the Regiments of Col. Hollis Hambden● and the L. Brooks for a while maintained themselves stoutly but being over-power'd some were driven into the river and there drowned and 300 slain and as many taken prisoners This brought a general consternation upon the City of London all shops were shut up and all the Regiments both Trained-Bands and Auxiliary were drawn out so that the Earl of Essex had a most compleat and numerous Army o● a sudden Hereupon the King presently marched away fearing to be incompassed by the Parliamentarians over Kingston-bridge which he broke down to stop the pursuit Essex made after him to Reading and so to Oxford where he took up his Winter quarters The Cities of Winchester and Chichester delivered to the Parliament Marlborough to the King and my Lord Hopton prevailed against the Earl or Stamford several Townes taken for the King in the West others for the Parliament in the North. Cyrencester had been Garrisoned by the Parliament Forces of Glocester being the midway betwixt that City and Oxford upon this place Prince Rupert had a design though his march that way was given out for the regaining of Shudly Castle out of which Col. Massey had smothered the Cavaleirs with wet hay for after he had passed some ten miles beyond Cirencester he suddenly returned back and surprising the Guards within two hours time became Master of the place puting the Earl of Stamfords Regiment to the sword who made a stout opposition taking 1100 prisoners and 8000 Arms and other provisions for war it being newly made a Magazeen From thence the Prince came before Glocester summoned the Town and departed The Lord Brooks and Northampton were in Arms against each other in the Counties of Warwick and Stafford where several small skirmishes had been between them at last in March the Lord Brook came and besieiged Litchfield Close garrisoned by the King and as he was viewing the approaches to it out of a window in the Town a single bullet from the Close shot him in the head through the eye of which he fell down dead nevertheless the siege was continued and the Close delivered to the Parliamentarians In the North the Queen landed at Bridlington Bay with some supplies of money and Arms for the King and with her Lieut. Gen. King she was conveyed to York and afterwards met the King at Edge-hill where the fight had been And so ended this year with the surrender at Malmsbury to the Parliament again and the defeat of the Lord Fairfax who was chief of the Parliaments forces in the North of ' Bramham by the Earls of Newcastle and Cumberland Scarborough delivered to the King by Brown Bushel Anno Domini 1643. PRince Rupert having coasted the Country from Glocester into Wales returned back by Litchfield intending to reduce it again he had not long lain before it but he compelled the Garrison to surrender To the releif hereof Sir Iohn Gell and Sir William ' Brereton having gathered a considerable strength marched these were met by part of Prince Ruperts forces and some under the command of the valiant Earl of Northampton where the said releif was defeated Sir Iohn Gell routed though the victory cost dear through the loss of that brave Earl who refusing quarter was killed by a private Souldier After General Essex had recruited his Army with new supplies the first thing he attempted was the siege of Reding which being manfully defended by Sir Arthur Aston till he received a wound on his head by the falling of a brick-bat and the releif brought by the King himself from Oxford being worsted at Caversham-Bridge after ten days siege was yeilded by Col. Fielding then substituted Governor to the Parliament In the North things went something equaller then before on the Parliaments side Sir Thomas Fairfax had defeated the Kings Forces under the Marquess of Newcastle at Wakefield and hoyed up the sinking interest of that Cause Monmouth likewise was taken by the Parliaments Forces as also Worder Castle but in the West the King prevailed my Lord Hopton commanded there being a valiant and expert Royalist for the Parliament the Earl of Stamford and Colonel Chidleigh these opposite Forces met the 16. of May in Stratton-field where the Parliamets foot stood stifly to the business but the Horse either through treachery or cowardize not seconding or releiving their Foot an entire Victory fell to the Cavaleers some 1500 of the Parliamentarians being slain and taken prisoners but do of great account lost on either side Chidleigh afterwards came over to the King and my Lord Hopton was made for this good service Baron of Stratton Now the Parliament flew high in their Consultations at home the Grandees working upon the sober part of the Parliament that this action of the Queens in bringing over Arms Money and other provisions for the assistance of the King was a dangerous destructive business wound up the anger of the Two Houses to such a pitch that the Queen was proclaimed Traytor and at the same time down went all the Crosses throughout England particularly the third of this moneth Cheapside-cro●s was demolished After this beginning of Reformation the Parliament took the Solemn League and Covenant at Westminster this was first framed in Scotland and was generally taken by them in the year 1639. the main drift of it was against the Episcopal Dignity and was now for the mutual endearment of the two Nations assistance being promised the Parliament from Scotland pressed upon all in England where the Parliaments power was paramount being taken throughout London the fifth of this moneth The Earl of Essex advanceth from Reading to Tame where a general sickness seized upon the Army during their quartering thereabout Prince Rupert fell into part of their quarters but the Essexians taking the Alarum and drawing out the business came to a fight in Chalgrave field where Colonel Hambden was mortally wounded It was observeable that in this place the said Colonel Hambden first listed and trained his men in the beginning of the war The Lord Keeper Littleton having fled with the Great Seal to Oxford according to the Kings Command the Parliament voted a new Great Seal to be made The Parliament to redress their affairs in the West had made Sir William Waller Major General of those Counties and had sent him down with a well-furnished Army to meet the Kings Army under my Lord Hopton who having cleared Devonshire after Strafton fight marched Eastward where in Somersetshire Sir William had taken Taunton and Br●dgewater Both these Armies met at

Landsdown neer Bath Iuly the fifth The Cavaliers were less in number but supplyed that with valour the fight began about three in the afternoon and was maintained till neer the same time next morning Here my Lord Hoptons powder was blown up by which he was hurt himself and was compelled for want of it to quit the field and shelter his Army in the Devices of his side were lost in this fight about a thousand The persons of quality slain were Sir Bevil Greenvile Mr. Leak my Lord Denicourts son Mr. Barker Mr. Lower and other Gentlemen The loss of private souldiers was as great on Sir Williams side but no persons of extraordinary note Upon my Lord Hoptons taking into the Devices Sir William Waller presently pursued him and cooped him up whereupon a Messenger was dispatcht to the King to inform him of the desperate condition my Lord was in if not timely relieved Prince Maurice the Earl of Carn●van and my Lord Wilmo● were sent presently with a party of fifteen hundred horse who made such expedition that on the thirteenth of Iuly by break of day they presented themselves alike to besiegers and the besieged to whom they gave a signal of their relief upon a rising ground and presently in an entire body charged Sir Williams Army being received by Sir Arthur Hazelrigs Curaziers at first but they being broken the Fortune of the day soon fell to the Royallists The Parliaments Foot after a little execution done upon them the besieged also being ready to fall upon them laid down their Arms and submitted Sir William Waller and Sir Arthur with much difficulty and greater speed escaped and came throughout to London with the bad news Here were slain neer a thousand men four thousand taken four brass Guns twenty eight Colours of Foot and nine Cornets This loss soon reduced Bristol into the Kings hands being delivered by Colonel Fiennes after three dayes siege for which surrender he had like to have lost his head These successes drew the King into the West where Dorchester Portland Weymouth and Melcomb submitted themselves The like in the North Beverley taken by the Earl of Newcastle Bedford Appleford and Barnstable surrendred and after a little dispute before Exeter and some Granadoes thrown in and firing part of the Suburbs the great Sconce being taken in storm that City was delivered to Prince Maurice and Sir Iohn Berkley made Governour It was therefore concluded to set upon Glocester being the only considerable place that held out for the Parliament in the West and lay very inconvenient hindring the intercourse betwixt Wales and the Kings Countryes the King therefore the tenth of August came himself from Oxford in person before it with a Royal Army while it was hardly imaginable where the Parliament could raise another Army and that done to march for London which proved a fatal mistake to the King for if he had gone directly for London there was no opposition in readiness against him not any place to stay him The King therefore summons Glocester to which the Governor and Mayor return a negative answer so the Guns were set on work many attempts on both sides till the besieged had little or no ammunition left them when on the eighth of September Essex having made up an Army with the Trained-Bands of London and new raised men in the respective Militia's and associated Counties then entirely at the Parliaments devotion came to the releif of it having been encountred at Stow in the Would by several parties of Horse under Prince Rupert but he could not be stopt from advancing Being come within five miles of Glocester upon the brim of a steep hill he discharged two pieces of Canon as a signal of their releif which was answered by the Town whereupon the King drew off from before the siege and marched hastily away intending to intercept Essex from returning his men being almost wearied and tired out with their hard march and weather But Essex having releived the Town with all manner of provision directed his march back again and falling into Cirencester from whence the King dislodged the day before and had lest some baggage behinde him took 400 prisoners and the next day matched toward Newbery and by the way was attaqued in Auborn Chase by several Squadrons of the Kings Horse here was killed that French Marquess Mous De la Vejuville having behaved himself valiantly The next day the King possest himself of Newberry the place Essex aimed at so that both Armies met h●re and began the fight early in the morning abundance of resolution and valour was manifested on both sides but especially the Trained Bands of London performed far beyond releif Prince Rupert was repelled and beaten back to the right wing of the Kings Army but returned again to the charge with greater fury This Battel like Edge-hill was dubious as to the success but something more bloody The Kings General here was the Lord Ruthen made lately Earl of Brentford On the Kings side were slain near 2500 men among whom were the Earl of Carnarven who had done the King special service the Earl of Sunderland and the learned Lord Faulkland very near the Kings person with Col. Constable Of the Parliaments side not any of note slain save Col. Tucker and some few Officers the number of their slain being near 3500 men After the fight was over in the field a party of Horse under the command of Col. Hurrie followed the Parliament Army in the Lanes toward Reading and put them into some disorder but the body facing about they were repelled back again with loss And so the Parliamentarians to Reading the Trained Bands to London whether soon followed the General and the King returned to Oxford This moneth the King pressed by his Protestant Subjects of Ireland who were not able to subsist longer under the war conclude a Cessation with the Irish Rebels and in November following received a Supply of 3000 men of his Protestant Army which landed in Wales under the command of Sir Michael Ernely the renowned Col.

Litchfield slain with above six hundred more Soon after followed the rendition of Chester the King flying back to Oxford The Sects had besieged Ca●lis●e almost a year after Marston-Moor fight now it was surrendred by Sir Thomas Glenham but the like success they had not at Hereford from whence they rose with disgrace and came and sate d●wn soon after before Newark General Fairfax marched after Naseby fight into the West leaving the King to pursue his ill fortunes and took in Bridgewater having before defeated General Goring at Lamport newly raised from the siege at Taunton by Colonel Wellen who relieved the Governour Colonel Blake though with some losses a● also Bath and Sherburn and sate down before Bristol which after a short siege was delivered by Prince Rupert upon Articles and the said Prince and his Brother came soon after to Oatlands in order to depart the Kingdome Cromwell also came with a party to the reinforcing of the siege of Basing and by smothering of wet hay made his approaches and stormed it taking the Marquess of Winchest●r prisoner with other Officers and Souldiers to the number of 600 persons Several House Castles and Towns were d●l●vered to the Parliament while the King kept close in Oxford The Prince of Wales being sent West and under the care of my Lord Hopton in company with my Lord Capel and others but General Fairfax following him into Cornwall Hopton accepted of conditions afte● the firing of Torrington and the delivery of Lanceston Saltash Lizard Dartmouth Mount-Edge Foy all being qu●tted by him gra●atim and disbanded the Pr●nce taking sail from Pendennis Castle to the Isle of Scilly and thence into France Hereford was also about this time surprized by Colonel Birch Belvoir Castle taken all places now submitting to the power and fortune of the Parliament and for a conclusion Exeter was now delivered by Sir Iohn Berkley upon very honourable and advantagious articles to the Lord Fairfax and the Lord Astley defeated at Stow in the Would two thousand kill'd and taken prisoners and so ended this year the next beginning with the same face of affairs several surrenders being made to the Parliament Anno Domini 1646. AFter the delivery of Woodstock it was not held safe for the King to continue longer in Oxford but the siege approaching to that City also the King disguised in the company and as a servant to Colonel Iohn Ashburnham with one Mr. Hudson a Minister by virtue of a Pass from Cromwell left Oxford and soon after put himself upon the Scotch Army then lying at the siege of Newark who sent him away with their Guards to Newcastle and soon after the Scotch Army followed him upon surrender of that Garrison of Newark The King being in their hands by their perswasions and desires and his own resolvedness for peace gave Order to all his Governours to make such terms as were most suitable and convenient for them and deliver their respective Governments to the Parliament that so the War might be at an end whereupon all the Garrisons in the Kings hands came to a capitulation Oxford Tarringdon Wallingford Borstall-House Ludlow Litchfield-Close Worcester Ragland Conway Pendennis and Scilly Isle surrendred at which time also died their former General the Earl of Essex and was most magnificently interred in Westminster Abbey General Fairfax came in triumph to London while the Treaty was on foot betwixt the Parliament and the Scots at Newcastle concerning the delivery and disposal of the King In fine upon the price and payment of 200000 pound the Scots perfidiously after many disputes whereby they affirmed it unlawful and dishonourable for them to do it sold their Native Prince to his English Subjects and so departed over Tweed into Scotland according to agreement Anno Domini 1647. THe English Commissioners deputed thereto by the Parliament having received the King from the Scots brought him to Holmby-House one of his Palaces in Northamptonshire according to the stipulation and hypocritical salvo made that the King should be treated honourably but with no attendance of his own either servants or Chaplains and a Guard upon him perpetually till in conclusion Cromwell beginning his projected Soveraignty by an Order from him to which the General tacitly consented The King was taken from the Commissioners and removed by one Corner Ioyce from Holdenby to the Army they pretending an extraordinary kindness to the King and his Patty even to the deceiving of the King himself by their Declarations and Protestations for Publick Liberty In the mean while the King is carried about from Holmby to Childersley Newmarket Royston Hatfield Windsor in progress with the Army to Caversham Maidenhead to Latiner to Stoke to Oatlands being treated with a far greater shew of honour then the Parliament allowed him with much hopes and many promises of his speedy restitution His Chaplains and other persons engaged on his side having free access to him with the free exercise of the Common-Prayer c. At last they bring him to Hampton-Court where Propositions as bad as any they tendred were offered to him again but there for their unreasonableness being rejected by the King he being informed of a plot to murther him by some of the Army fled from Hampton-Court privately to the Isle of W●ght the said Colonel Ashburnham being with him in this disguize also and rendred himself into the hands of Hamond the Governour of the said Isle who forthwith certified the Parliament and they presently vote that no more Addresses should be made to the King nor no Papers received from him While the Army were thus coasting the King about fell out a tumult in the City of London the Apprentices and Citizens flocking down to Westminster about the establishing of the Militia in the same hands it stood before the Army had interposed and by their instance had made the Houses alter the persons named the fourth of May as being suspected favourers of the King Whereupon the Lords readily assented to the impowring those of the fourth of May to act as before in the Militia and so after a little dispute did the Common some of the same multitude not consented with this brought back the Speaker into his Chair the House being risen and compelled him and the Members back to the House to vote that the King should come to London to treat After this tumult which the King observes in his book to be justly retaliated upon them the Speaker of the House of Commons with some forty more privately departed to the Army then at Windsor complaining of the force the other remaining to the number of 140. meeting according to their adjournment finding not the Speaker nor his Mace chose another Speaker as did the Lords also their Speaker having withdrawn himself likewise to the Army The Army seem to be highly incensed at these Riots of the Citizens and take upon them the rectifying of those disorders the fugitive members are

entertained and consultation is held between them what 's fit to be done while the Parliament sitting at Westminster are advising about listing of forces appointing Massey Poyntz and others for General Officers and recall those Members against whom the Army had exhibited a full charge But the Army advanceth neer London so that all these preparations and the stomach of the City soon were dashed and new agreements made their Fortifications and Works to be demolished and the Army admitted to march through in triumph so the fugitive Members were reseated again with their Speaker and all things put in the same bad state and condition they were before and several Lords the Lord Mayor some Aldermen and divers Citizens of great wealth and quality are the one committed to the Black Rod and the other to the Tower so that now all things passed in both Houses according to the disposition of the Army the Parliament being wholly subservient to their designs having made my Lord Fairfax Generalissimo and Constable of the Tower of London In Ireland after the Marquess of Ormond had delivered up by capitulation the Government to Colonel Iones for the Parliament the said Colonel marched out and fought with the Lord Preston but was forced to fly being overpowred by him but the business came to a second encounter neer Trym where the victory fell to Iones killing 5470 foot souldiers taking a very great booty and a number of prisoners and the Lord Inchequin defeats another Army under the Lord Taaf where were slain 4000 more of those Rebels and Sir Charles Coot gave them another defeat so that most of the Towns were reduced and the Rebellion neer extinguished The Scots therefore were desired to retreat with their forces out of Vlster Anno Domini 1648. BEgin we now with the 24th year being the last of King Charles the First 1648. wherein the King seemed as formidable in his interest as ever he was from the beginning of the War The Parliament was divided and jealousies betwixt them and the Army encreased every day Trading stopt so that on the ninth of April another tumult happened in London by the Apprentices who seized the Gates took a Drake from the Lord Mayors and planted it at Ludgate but the Army horse entring with their General at Aldersgate marched to Leaden-Hall and after a little skirmish dispersed them Several Petitions for restitution of the King came from several Counties But in Wales a stronger Insurrection broke out Major General Laughorn formerly a great man for the Parliament Colonel Poyer and Colonel Powell of the same side refuse to disband and presently seize upon Pembroke Castle Tenby Castle and declare for the King Chepstow Castle is likewise taken by Sir Nicholas Kemish for the same side Against these Colonel Horton is sent with three thousand men Horton receives a brush by falling with part of his men under Colonel Fleming into an Ambuscado Whereupon Laughorn hearing of Cromwells advance also resolved to fight Horton so the business came to a fight at S. Fagons where the Welsh being taken on a sudden not intending to fight that day were presently after the first onset routed above five thousand of their eight being taken a great many killed and the rest sheltred in the two Castles aforesaid Sir Iohn Owen was up in Arms in North-Wales and had defeated the Sheriff opposing him but was afterwards taken himself Cromwell storms Tenby Castle and takes it and after a sbort resistance Pembroke yielded upon discretion as to the lives of those three Commanders whereof one Colonel Poyer died by lot and so Cromwell having quieted Wales Sir Nicholas Kemish being slain by the storming of Chepstow Castle which he had newly taken marched into Lancashire to meet the Scotch Army who under their General Duke Hamilton having joyned with those English forces under Sir Marmaduke Langdale Sir Phil●p Ma●grave were advancing for London to restore the King This Army consisted of 24000 men effective At the same time also the Kentishmen having seen and heard the usage their Neighbours of Surrey had for petitioning for peace being some of them killed by the Army-guards in Westminster Hall resolved to ask or demand with their sword in their hands that which the Surrey men had been refused They rose to the number of ten thousand and had designed the Duke of Richmond for their General which upon his refusal was conferred upon the Earl of Norwich To suppress this rising whether abundance of stout valiant young men resorted out of London General Fairfax was sent in person and to glose with the Londoners the old Militia was again confirmed At Maidstone a part of the Kentishmen opposed themselves against the General maintaining the Bridge so resolutely that it came to a very hot encounter so that the General was forced to alight out of his Coach and led in his men himself After they had passed the Bridge they were forced to fight every hedg before they came to the Town where the fight was continued with the like gallantry and had any relief come it would have been a question whether it had not utterly routed the Parliament Upon this defeat the other greater party that were at Rochester slipt away to Black-Heath and from thence ferried and passed over into Essex and made their Head-quarter at Bow but the City stirred not in favour of them but a party of horse of the Army was sent thither where after some light skirmishes they removed further into Essex where many Gentlemen joyned with them my Lord Capel and others and so to Colchester whether the General presently after followed them To second this part of the Navy revolts also and set ashore Col. R●nsborough their Commander and Pontefract Castle was surprized by Col. Morris and now the Parliament having so many irons in the fire null those Votes of non-Address to the King and resolve of a Treaty as the best expedient To further which purpose the Prince of Wales having imbarqued himself in the Reformation came into the Downs with 25 Sail of Men of War where he landed ●ome men and had Deal and Sandwich Castles delivered him but the E. of Warwick and Sir George Ayscue making into the Dow●s together and the Prince lacking victual he set sail for Helvo●t Sluce not being able to do any thing for his friends at Colchester whether Warwick also followed him This was not all that was done for the King for this very same time the Earl of Holland the D. of Buckingham his brother the Lord Francis the Earl of Peterborough and others assembled at Kingston and declared for the King being about a thousand and more hourly expected but Sir Michael Livesey falling upon them suddenly they were forced to leave the Town losing that Noble Gentleman the Lord Francis who refu●ed quarter and so speeded to S.
