Elsyng . Cler. Parl. D. Com. LONDON : Printed for . Iohn Cave . August 13. 1642. Colonell Goring His Speech , delivered to the Souldiers in Portsmouth . COlonell Goring haveing had a designe to ceize upon the Town of Portsmouth , and having admitted the number of 40. Horsemen with Carbines and Pistols into the Town , the better to accomplish and bring to passe his intended purpose , and having furnished himself with all kinde of necessary Ammunition , which he Ordered to be brought into the Town , which being effected , he charged that all that bore Arms , which were about the number of three hundred , should appear in the afternoon , at whose appearance he made this Speech unto them . Gentlemen , and fellow Soldiers , THe occasion of calling you together , is to let you understand and know His Majesties pleasure , and your dutie concerning this Town and Fort , which His Majestie doth expect to finde a place of singular trust and fidelitie ; and therefore hath commanded me to put you into such a posture , that we may be able and ready , not onely to maintain his Majesties right in this place against any that shall dare to attempt the contrary , but also that this place may be fit for the guard and safetie of His Majesties person ; and I hope that I shall not need to urge many reasons to perswade or win you to a cheerfull and willing obedience herein , if we do but call to minde His Majesties goodnesse and bounty to us , and also in how great and how many obligations we stand bound unto his Highnesse ; For we are not onely tied to obedience to His Majesties commands , as we are Subjects , but in a more particular relation as we are servants , and do receive a certain recompence or reward , for our Service from His Majestie . So that all those benefits and priviledges that we or any one of us enjoy , is from His Majesties bounty and goodnesse ; For our bread and drink and all that we have , is derived , and commeth from him , and in his happinesse and welfare , our lives , liberties , and fortunes do consist . And for you that are behinde of your pay , although the Parliament hath made some promise to see you satisfied , yet such is the ease and goodnesse of His Majestie towards you , that He hath provided you money , which I have in my custody to distribute amongst you , so soon as you have subscribed to some few words and conditions in writing which I shall tender unto you , testifying your religious , honest , faithfull , and ready intention to serve His Majesty in this businesse . Neither will I constrain or force any to stay in the Town against their wils , or free pleasure , but every man of what condition soever , shall have free liberty to go and come , with his Wife and Children , servants and goods in safety and peace . And let every man assure himself , that for his faithfull service herein , his Majestie will not see him unrewarded . Having thus ended , some of the souldiers gave a great shout , the rest were discontented , and a great distraction was suddainly in the Town . Upon the 11. of August , a Hackney-Coachman came to the House of Parliament , and acquainted them that on the 9. of this Moneth , some Gentlemen came to him , and hired his Coach and sixe Horses , agreeing with him by the day , not telling of him whether he should go ; And likewise three Hackny Coaches more with sixe Horses a piece , were hired at the same time ; and he also informed the House , that two of the Coaches went together , and the third went another way by it self , and that there were in every Coach two Gentlemen a peece carried . He also told the House , that he carried two of them to Portsmouth , and that the one them was Mr. Weston , brother to the Earl of Portland . Also he further said , that when he came to Portsmouth , he understood that these Gentlemen carried down along with them nine thousand pounds in silver , but before he came thither , he knew nothing thereof ; but he said that one Welch another of those Coachmen , told him after he came to Portsmouth , that he knew of it , and did help to tell the money in London ; He declared further , that he heard there were great store of Papists thereabouts , to the number of five or sixe hundred ; and that the Earl of Portland , and Sir Kenelm Digby were expected to come to Portsmouth every hour , and that many of the Townsmen got forth of the Town as fast as possibly they could , and that all Officers and Soldiers that were there , who refused to take an Oath that was tendered to them , were turned out of the Town as fast as possibly they could ; and that they are very busie in making of Workes three miles out of the Town . And he also enformed them , that himself and the rest of the Coachmen , did very hardly get away from the Cavaleers , being very desirous to detain both them and their Horses , and that they proffered to make them Officers in their present Service and expedition , and to allow them what pay they would desire , but they durst not stand to their curtesie , but made shift and got away .
