Shewing the true manner how himselfe and Captaine Edward Eyre were surprised at Malmsbury by two Lieutenant-Collonels under the Earl of Stamfords command , upon pretended ground , and contrary to some scandalous relations in print . With the reasons inducing him formerly to seize upon Sir Edward Hungerford . LONDON , Printed for Thomas Creake , January 22. 1642. TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE the Earle of PEMBROKE . My Noble good Lord , ON Munday night last being at Malmsbury , which is a Towne under my command , within eight miles off Cisseter , where I had drawne up 500 Men of my Regiment , for their ayd , and two Companies more upon their march ; about nine of the clocke at night there came about 500 Horse , and Dragoneeres , of the Earle of Stanfords Forces , out of Glocestershire , commanded by Lievtenant-Colonell Furbush , and Lievtenant-Colonell Carr , his Lordship being then at Exceter , and desired lodging of me for that night , whereupon as soon as I was certainly informed who they were , I tooke order for the billeting of them , and let them in , which as soon as I had done , they came to me , pretending a great deale of friendship , but on the sudden seized upon mee in my lodging , plundered me and my Souldiers of all that we had , and the next morning carried me and Captaine Edward Eyre to Cisseter , with as much ignominy as was possible , upon two poore Dragoneeres , although they tooke from me as many Horses for my own Saddle as were worth 300 pound ; within two daies they carried me to this Towne , where they keepe me in the same manner at this time ; but I thanke God , they dare accuse me of nothing , but say , that I would not bring up my Forces to Cisseter , which I conceive I was no way bound to doe , especially , Prince Maurice his Quarter being at Farringdon and Wantage , hauing there 1000 Horse , within two Miles of Wilts ; they say likewise that I had seized upon Sir Edward Hungerford , which I had just cause to doe ; for besides the correspondence between him and my Lord Seymor , which I can bring pregnant proofe of , he sent twice to my Serjeant Major , to command him to draw up my Forces to such places as he should appoint , pretending that he had an Order from the Parliment for it , and sent to my Souldiers to leave me , and come to him , which I could make no other interpretation of , but that he intended to betray me ; whereupon I resolved to send him in safe custody to the Parliament , but he fled to Cisseter , and there J doe verily beleeve , did bribe the two Scotch Lievtenant-Colonels to performe this exploit ; for he fled out of Wilts about six weekes agone , and carried all his Family and Goods into Somersetshire , where he doth now reside , and onely comes sculking now and then into Wilts , to put tricks upon me . I have served my Countrey under your Lordships and your brothers command these twenty yeeres , wherefore J beseech your Lordship to undertake for me , for J am resolved never to desert the cause , but desire to appeare at the Parliament with as much speed as may be , which I hope your Lordship will further , for his sake , who will ever be Your most humble Servant , E. BAYNTON . Glocester , Jan. 15. 1642. FINIS .
