G. MDCXLVIII . A DECLARATION OF The Kings Majesties loyall Subjects , in the Isle of Wyght , concerning the proceedings of Sir Thomas Glemham , Col. Poyer , and the Scottish Army , touching the Parliament of England , Army , and Kingdom . SIR , YOur last I received , Dated April the 25. 1648. I shall indeavour to communicate unto you , the most remarkable passages , that are more extant . As for the state and condition of this Island , wherein we are now resident , we find them to be ( for the Major part ) verie reall and well-affected , and willing to obey the power and Authority of Parliament , and extraordinary obedient to the Cōmands of those intrusted by them , as may appear by their late unanimous expressions , both to our Governour and his Officers ; who having received intelligence of the proceedings of Col. Poyer and his confederates , and their declaring for the King , and ( most Judas-like and traterously ) betraying the trust reposed in them by the Parliament of England , resolved with one unanimous consent to adhere , & stand firme to the supreame Power and Representatives of England , and to hazard lives , fortunes , and estates , for the defence & preservation thereof , ( notwithstanding many invitations lately sent for their engagements to the contrary . ) And they further declared to our Governour , Col. Hammond , their unanimous and reall resolutions , to adhere unto him ( according to the power and authority of the supreame Councel and Representatives of England ) and to stand or fall , live or dye , and to use their utmost endeavours to aid and assist him against all opposition whatsoever , that shall endeavour to attempt , or disturbe the Peace of the said Island , under any pretence whatsoever . Thus much I can assure you of the present proceedings of the Inhabitants of Weight ; yet notwithstanding , they have received many false and various reports from severall parts of the Kingdom of England , and Dominion of Wales , to diswade them to the contrary . And for the proceedings of Poyer , Powel , and their Adherents , they utterly detest and declare against them , being confident , ( as indeed it may well and apparently appeare ) that their present D●sign and Engagement , tends to no other end or principle ; but a meere selfe-end , for the advancement of their owne wretched & mechanick ambition , rather then the preferment of the publike good of Englands Commonalty . And for the Scots , they declare ( according to the ancient rule and proverbe ) that they dare not , nor will not , put confidence in a blew Bonnet ; for say they , Trust a Scot & hang him , although they pretend faire towards Religion , Crown , and Kingdom , and for the re-instablishing of the Kings Majesty , in his Throne at Westminster . But indeed , here is some few persons , who expects great matters from Poyer , and the Scots , who at the first arising of the Cloud in Wales , gave out very high speeches , &c. Sir , as for the state and condition of the Kings Majesty , I can assure you thus much , that He is in health and merry ; but at the arrivall of the newes that the Duke of Yorke was escaped and gone , His Majesty seemed to be very solentary . His Majesty takes much delight in the company of Sir Oliver Cromwell , and makes choice of him to be his second , for the playing of the Game , ( I meane at Bowles ) against Colonell Hammond , or any other two . Thus , having communicated unto you , that which is ( at present ) most observable ; I remaine , Your most affectionate friend to serve you , Thomas Hill , Cornet . Carisbrooke may the 2. 1642. Another great fight in Wales . SIR , COlonell Poyer , Powel , and the rest of the Malignants begin to be very fearfull , and it is thought , repent their undertakings , Col. Powel being lately at Carmarthen , Col. Horton marched towards him ; but the Welch having notice thereof , pulled and brake down all the Bridg●s , and indeavoured to stop the passages , so that when Colonel Horton came to Portragorthy , he found the Bridge down , and Poyers men at the passage , Col. Horton made towards another passage , and the Rebells in a feare retreated to severall holds , the Parl. forces being joyned , followed them : some slight skirmishes have happened , but nothing of great consequence done as yet . The Welch people being more afraid then hurt , conceited that they should recive strange cruelties from the Souldiers of the Parl. whereupon they quite lest their dwellings , and drove all their Cattell into the Mountains , Col. Horton is very diligent in his service , and with all possibility endeavours to straiten them , because Malignants fl●ck unto him daily , and also to hinder his getting provisions and mustering the Countrey , as they had done in several places ; where , at one time appeared about 4000. in another place , 3000. and in another place 2000. many of them being armed , and Powell the better to ingage the people , declared himselfe for the King . Here are divers Porters , Butchers , and such like rascally fellowes come hither from London , the Welch indeavoured to make good their ground against the Parl. forces , and incamped neare the River Towry , about 20. miles from Pembrooke ; but when Col. Horton came , they all retreated , Embleden Castle is fortifying , and 2. Companies of Col. Langhornes men under the Command of Captain Cosens , and Captain Aires are to keepe it , they had an intent to have put a Garison in the Castle of Aburustwith in Cardiganshire ; but I heare they have deserted it . Monmouthshire is quiet , in Herefordshire Major Sanders hath quelled the Malignants there , and taken Col. Sherington Talbot prisoner , Poyer makes away from the presence of Col. Horton . Col. Horton hath had another great fight with Poyer , and divers men slain on both sides ; but the number thereof , I cannot justly give an account of , it is said , that Captain Powel ( of the enemies party , hath received a mortall wound , and divers other Commanders of note ; And indeed , divers fell on our side , but that which terrifies us the most , is the fall of a great Souldier , ( a man indued both with valour and Resolution ) . Both parties draweth nearer and nearer , and it is said , Poyer is resolved to fight , so is Col. Horton ; but Poyer is more in number then the party now against him : therefore high time it is , that the rest of the forces designed for this service , be forthwith disp●tched thither , which we hope will soone be effected ; for Poyer gives out high speeches , and sayes that he feares neither Fairfax , Cromwell , nor Ireton , but is resolved to fight it out to the last man , we heare that Lieut. Gen. Cromwell is designed for this service , and that he is upon his march thither , with severall Regiments of Horse and Foote : the Cavalry hath also received the same tydings , and Poyer gives out , that they will give him a field , and shew him faire play , and that he will be the first man that shal charge against Iron-sides , saying , that if he had a back of steele , and breast of Iron , he durst and would encounter with him . Most of the Inhabitants in these parts are fled to the Mountains , being troubled with too much malignancy , and Mr. Vulcan hath shewn himselfe a great enemy to our proceedings ; for divers Smiths in severall Townes , have cut up their Bellowes , broke down their Stithies , and made all their materialls unserviceable , so that we cannot get a Horse shod not in 20. or 30. miles riding . This is all for the present from , Your oblieged friend , T. Sands . Carmarthen the 3. of May 1648. Imprimatur GILBERT MABBOT . FINIS .
