By the Commons assembled in Parliament . IN the whole management of the late Warr , unto which the Parliament was necessitated on the Kingdoms behalf for recovering and securing their Religion , Lawes , and native Liberties invaded by the enemies thereof ; the great wisdom , mercy , and power of God from time to time appeared in giving to their Forces many great and seasonable victories , ( as pledges of his love in owning their Cause ) untill the whole power and force of those enemies were broken in pieces , and a hopefull door opened for the settlement of a wel-grounded and lasting Peace ; But the same common Enemy by secret contrivances severall ways , Obstructed the Parliaments progress therein , seducing the affections of the people , instigating them to a generall In surrection ; and under pretence of petitioning for Peace , subtily promoting a new and bloody Warr ; by whose wicked practises , the Cause of God and the Kingdom is endangered , and utter ruine threatned to those persons that yet own and stand sum to their first principles , and earnestly thirst after the accomplishment of that desirable work or Reformation in Church and Common-wealth , when many men are started aside therefrom , and encourage that generall Confusion endevoured by the enemies of Peace and Truth ; And we have just cause to say , If the Lord had not been on our side when men rose up against us , they had swallowed us up quick , when their wrath was kindled against us ; yea , blessed be the Lord , mighty in Councels and power , who hath not yet given us as a prey unto their teeth , but by weak means hath wrought great Salvations for his people , by many Signall victories , over them lately obtained by the Parliament Forces in severall parts of the Kingdom ; the which it is our duty briefly to recount before the people , that their hearts may be enlarged with thankfulness , and the Lord of Hosts receive therefore his due honour and praise . First , That great defeat given to the Enemies forces in Wales under Laughorn , and the reducing of Chepstow , and other Garisons there ; as also the reducing of Appleby Castle , Brongham , and other places of strength in the North ; and Walmer Castle in Kent . Secondly , That seasonable mercy and success in Northwales against Sir John Owen ; the gaining of Maidston in Kent after Four hours hot dispute , a place of very great concernment to the Rebels ; in which service of the Generall , had it miscarried , in all probability , and as it appeared by severall Letters then taken , the ill affected persons in and about the City of London , and Counties adjacent , had , as one man risen and engaged in the same Rebellion , to the endangering and ruine of the Parliament , City and Kingdom , which success did allay the distempers then very high in some neighbouring Counties , raised through the false suggestions of the Enemies to their peace . Thirdly , The surprisall of about 600. Horse belonging to Langdale , and many persons , some of quality , by the Forces under Colonell Fenwi●k and Colonell Lilborne ; and that without the loss of any blood on either side . Fourthly , The utter routing of the Pomfret-horse , and some Foot at Willoughby in Nottingham-shire , after a very sharp encounter , by the new raised Forces under Colonell Edward Rossiter , the Enemies Forces consisting most of Gentlemen , Officers and Reformadoes ; of the Enemie , about 100. slain , their Generall , Lievtenant Generall , and Major Generall , and many other Gent. Officers , and Souldiers taken , and the number of 500. private Souldiers , besides their Colours , Armes and Ammunition , and Carriages taken : And the wonderfull Mercy of delivering the Citie of Norwich and the wel affected there from imminent and apparent ruine . Fifthly , The dissipating the Forces gathered together under the Earl of Holland , Duke of Buckingham , Earl of Peterborough , and other men of quality ; so that in less then a week the places of their standing in Rebellion was not to be found ; who otherwise ( had not God given a sodain check to their resolutions and hopes ) might have proved very prejudiciall to the peace of the Kingdom . Sixthly , The seasonable reducing of Pembrook both Town and Castle , after a hard siege , upon honorable termes to the Parliament the 10. of July last ; whereby the Parliament Forces ( engaged there ) are at liberty to March North ward for to joyn with the other Forces of the Parliament , for the preservation of the peace of the Kingdom upon all occasions . Read 18. July , 1648. and upon the Question assented unto , and Ordered to be forthwith Printed an published ; And that the Lord Major be desired to communicate the same to the respective Ministe . within the late Lines of Communication , and Parishes within the weekly Bills of Mortality .
