AN EXACT AND Humble Remonstrance TOUCHING The late Conflict of Armies in and neer the County of PEMBROOKE and the present condition of the Harbour of MILFORD Presented to the Honourable Committee of the two United Kingdomes England and Scotland by such as were very lately resident in the said County Together with a word of Remembrance and Advice seasonably they hope directed to the Committee of the said County and Mayor of Penbrooke London Printed by J. M. 1645. Good Reader IT may be thy curious eye will not be satisfied with Generall Relations and if we descend to particulars there may be some injury done to Truth against our will and it were great pitty so rare a Grace should receive the least blemish by Friends seeing she is so oft-times wronged both by the ignorant and malicious Enemy If we should take on us to tell thee how many were taken and how many slaine we might say we misse about 300. and speak our thoughts and yet not punctually it may be suitable to the verity of the matter This I would have thee note That this unhappy clashing hapned not many dayes after valiant Crumwell took Heathen Sir Henry Vaughan Colonell and Welchman with all his Bare Foot going to Oxford If thou wilt promise to be candid in thy construction thou shalt have once more other matters come to thy hand if God will very shortly It is yet but Low-water at Milford as soon as it it Halfe-flood our trusty Mercury that loves not to talke so large as others will hoyse up saile and bring thee true intelligence and very probably pleasing too if thou be not a blood-thirsty Irish-man or his base English confederate Farewell TO The Honourable Committee of the tvvo united Kingdomes of ENGLAND and SCOTLAND A true Narration of the present Condition of the County of PEMBROOKE and Army there together with the Harbour of MILFORD exhibited by such of the said County as have been eye witnesses and have Solemnly Covenanted with God to advance to their utmost his glorious Cause now managed by the two Houses of PARLIAMENT WHo sadly Remonstrate to your Honours That when it pleased God to give a great blessing to the said County not onely plentifully to cast off but also for a good while to be nourished and miraculously to be preserved by his great power and providence raising them so beyond all probabilities from a handful of naked men to become a prety considerable body of armed men the resolved Commanders and Worthies there for discharge of their faithfulnesse in so great a Trust having a tender eye also to the Exonerating and easing of a Country almost worn out by the pillaging and oppression of the Enemie and necessary Quarter of friends put on a resolution and marched out of their own County to Cardigan where after they had possessed themselves of the said Town and Castle and Indeed wonderfully releeving the said Castle afterwards when it was strongly besieged by Generall Gerrard they besieged the Castle of Emelyn about six miles distant from Cardigan being the enemies next and onely Garrison in that Quarter where after they had laid neer a fortnight upon the 27. day of Aprill last being the Lords day about six of the clock in the morning there came a very strong party of the enemies horse from England besides other foot very numerous who suddenly and secretly fell upon our men flew and took most of our best foot Companies besides many horse drave the rest into their Garrisons being about 30. miles remote from the place of their defeate and forthwith Advanced into the County of Pembrooke faced the Town of Haverford West and sommond it The Souldiers no sooner quit the said Town by reason of the openesse of it and that they might the better preserve the other Garrisons of Penbrooke and Tenby being far mote strong and considerable but the Inhabitants were constrained to surrender it upon very slender Quarter there they ceaze upon much of our Ammunition and Armes imprison plunder and abuse the well-affected Townsmen range every where about the Country pillage and destroy that which should be the present and future livelihood of an Army and have given us a sure testimony that they will leave nothing undone that mischiefe and violence can invent against a distressed County This done they drew all their forces towards the other two Garrisons of Pembrooke and Tenby and are very confident either to over-master them or in fine to distresse them till they yeeld Notwithstanding the Major Generall Mayor of Pembrook and resolute Commanders there have firmely by Gods blessing determined to stand to their trust and resolve rather Honourably to lose their lives together with their said Townes and Garrisons then basely by yeelding betray them with their Religion and Liberties They further make known to your Honours the most dangerous condition of the Harbour of Milford which the Enemie doubts not to block up by planting Great Ornances to keep out such shipping as might relieve the Town and Castle of Pembrooke and this very probably they will speedily do if a timely expedient be not found out to prevent them It were but rashnesse and indiscretion in them to intimate the dangerous consequence of a Delay as of other things so well known to your Honours The publike importance of the said Haven being the onely harbour to friend between Plymouth and Leverpool bloody Irelands greatest curb and terrour the Marriners security if preserved nay they are verily perswaded and so are all that know it that there is not one place in England more considerable Consideratis considerandis then that though some ignorantly we hope not maliciously to the great prejudice of the state do slight it They presume no farther but humbly submit themselves to your Lordships and from a bleeding and most tender heart they do commend the condition of the publick and that place together with their own sad estate and condition to the Grace and Mercy of a good God and the known Wisdome of this Honourable Committee for their more speedy reliefe TO The Committee established by Parliament for the County of PEMBROOK Gentlemen IT is not unknown unto most of you who they were that very lately departed from your Country and Harbour of Milford And albeit they had but small incouragement to remain there yet now by Gods Providence being safely arived here a place of greater enlargement and love They cannot choose but remember you and in their remembrance though they never tread on your ground again to endeavour your future weal and happinesse They cannot but be sensible how Offices and Officers in this kind have been intreated and rewarded namely with cruelty and contempt for love and curtesie some if they had Grace would blush at the conceit However it now falls out that water shall never be able to quench the flames of publick Affection and Desires They humbly and earnestly crave of you and that in the bowels of Jesus Christ that in
