SONNE , AFter my Love remembred , These are to let you understand , that after my Lord of Northamptons bringing the Ordnance from Banbury Castle , where coming to Warwicke to besiege the Castle and Magazine there , where hee hath not onely received losse of some of his men , but hath lost by the Bullet of a Musket part of his Lip , which hath affrighted him to oppose the Castle any farther , and as this day he purposes to returne for Banbury , hoping to speed as well as he did before ; but the Countrey is fully resolved to crosse his expectation ; Two dayes since he discharged a Piece of Ordnance against the Castle , which the Ordnance breaking , killed the Cannoneere ; Sir Edw●●d Peto Debutie-Lievtenant of the Castle to gratifie his Salutation , returned a Piece of Ordnance , and brake downe a Pinnacle of the Tower of Saint Maryes Church , upon which the Ordnance was planted : Presently after this Accident a Butcher carrying a shoulder of Mutton in his hand , going over the Bridge , in the sight of the Castle , held it up in derision , and cryed , Here is Meate for the Round-heads in the Castle : VVhereupon a Musket was discharged out of the Castle , and gave him thankes for his offer , with the depriving him of his life at the same instant ; which may be a warning to all other scandalous tongues . On Thursday last they assaulted Banbury againe with two hundred horse and foote , but through Gods assistance they beate them off ; they looked for another Onset on Saturday last ; there is as yet no Ayde come from London into these parts ; wee daily expect them ; wee stand continually upon our Guard ; keeping a strong VVatch night and day ; and well disposed people with us are gone to Banbury , Resolving rather to die than to loose the Armes of the Towne to the Cavaliers . Now we have a Commission to shoot , which before wee durst not ; For the Cavaliers sweare they will possesse themselves of Banbury Castle againe , because they cannot get Warwicke , but we hope so soone as the Armie comes downe to deale well enough with them ; For behinde them from Coventry , Brimigam , and Auston , we heare of 1400. gathered together , who have taken a Loade of Ammunition from them , and sent it to Coventry ; VVee hope for helpe to morrow ; they lie all up and downe the Countrey , pillaging in the little Townes ; they steale Horse , Cowes , Sheepe , Cloathes , and Victualls , and all the Armes they can finde out ; but if the Armie come , wee hope to hem them about , though they have some great persons with them , as the Lord Compton , Mr Wilmote , Mr Walter Pope , and Mr Chamberlaine , that ayde them with Horse and Ammunition : VVee expect helpe from Northampton , for there are gathered together of the Trained Bands of the Countrey and Volunteers , about 1500 , or 1600. They take a good course to traine them at Northampton ; and we heare that there they have all shut up their Shops , and stand upon their Guard . The Lord bring a happy end to these great Differences , and unite the King and Parliament , that we may not onely enjoy our lives and estates , but which is greater , our Religion , Lawes , and Liberties , all which lie at the Stake . Thus till the next opportunitie , I rest , Your loving Father , IOHN GOLS●●E . A DECLATION OF THE LORDS and COMMONS assembled in PARLIAMENT . WHereas the King , seduced by wicked Counsell ; doth make War against His Parliament and People ; And for the promoting of that Warre , divers Fo●ces both of Horse and Foot , have been levyed and are raised by severall persons , and His Maiesties good Subjects are most cruelly robbed , spoyled and slain . To the end that no man may be misled through Ignorance , the Lords and Commons in Parliament declare , That all such persons as shall , upon any pretence whatsoever , assist His Maiestie in this War , with Horse , Arms , Plate or Money , are Traytors to His Maiestie , the Parliament , and the Kingdome , and shall be brought to condign punishment for so high an offence . Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament , That this Declaration be forthwith Printed and Published . Hen. Elsynge , Cler. Parl D. Com. FINIS .
