of heart addresse our selves to your sacred majestie , beseeching you to cast your eyes and thoughts upon the safetie of your own person , and your princely issue , and this whole countie , a great meanes of which we conceive doth consist in the arms and ammunition at hull , placed there by your princely care and charge , and since upon generall apprehension of dangers from forraine parts represented to your majestie , thought fit as yet to be continued . we for our parts , conceiving our selves to be still in danger , doe most humbly beseech your majestie that you will be pleased to take such course and order , that your magazine may still there remaine , for the better securing of these and the rest of the northerne parts . and the rather because we think it fit , that that part of the kingdome should be best provided , where your sacred person doth reside , your person being like davids , the light of israel , and more worth than ten thousands of us . who shall daily pray , &c. his majesties message sent to the parliament , april . . concerning sir iohn hothams refusal to give his majestie entrance into hull . his majesty having received the petition inclosed from most of the chiefe gentry neere about yorke , desiring the stay of his majesties armes and munition in his magazine at hull , for the safety ( not onely of his majesties person and children , but likewise of all these northern parts : the manifold rumours of great dangers inducing them to make their said supplication ) thought it most fit to goe himselfe in person to his towne of hull , to view his armes and munition there , that thereupon he might give directions , what part thereof might be necessary to remaine there , for the security and satisfaction of his northerne subjects , and what part thereof might bee spared for ireland , the arming of his majesties scots subjects that are to go thither , or to replenish his chiefest magazine of the tower of london ; where being come , upon the of this instant aprill , much contrary to his expectation , he found all the gates shut upon him , and the bridges drawn up , by the expresse command of sir iohn hotham , ( who for the present commands a garrison there ) and from the walls flatly denyed his majesty entrance into his said town , the reason of the sayd denyall being as strange to his majesty , as the thing it selfe , it being that he could not admit his majesty without breach of trust to his parliament ; which did the more incense his majesties anger against him , for that hee most seditiously and trayterously would have put his disobedience upon his majesties parliament ; which his majesty being willing to cleare , demanded of him if he had the impudence to aver , that the parliament had directed him to deny his majesty entrance and that if he had any such order , that he should shew it in writing , for otherwise his majesty could not beleeve it ; which he could no way produce , but malitiously made that false interpretation according to his own inferences , confessing that he had no such positive order , which his majesty was ever confident of : but his majesty not willing to take so much pains in vain , offered to come into that his towne onely with . horse , finding that the maine of his pretence lay , that his majesties traine was able to command the garrison : notwithstanding , his majesty was so desirous to go thither in a private way , that he gave warning thereof but overnight , which he refusing , but by way of condition ( which his majesty thought much below him ) held it most necessary to declare him traytour ( unlesse upon better thoughts , he should yeeld obedience ) which he doubly deserved , aswell for refusing entrance to his naturall soveraigne , as by laying the reason thereof groundlesly and maliciously upon his parliament . one circumstance his majesty cannot forget , that his sonne the duke of yorke , and his nephew the prince elector , having gone thither the day before , sir iohn hotham delayed the letting of them out to his majesty till after some consultation . hereupon his majesty hath thought it expedient to demand iustice of his parliament against the said sir iohn hotham , to be exemplarily inflicted on him according to the laws , and the rather because his majesty would give them a fit occasion to free themselves of this imputation , by him so injuriously cast upon them , to the end his majesty may have the easier way for the chastising of so high a disobedience . the names of those divines that are nominated by the knights and brugesses

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng natural history -- pre-linnean works -- early works to . yorkshire (england) -- history -- early works to . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - aptara keyed and coded from proquest page images - emma (leeson) huber sampled and proofread - emma (leeson) huber text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion proposals by way of contribution , for writing a natural history of yorkshire . by jo. browne , dr. of laws and physick . first of all , the author proposes to take into consideration the disposition of the heavens , and temperatu●e of the air in respect to the various changes and alterations therein ;

house . and that your free offers therein of putting your selves into a posture of defence , hath given such testimony of your abilities , that it hath utterly taken away the hopes of paying your

commands mee to give you very hearty thanks . and to desire you in the name of the house to declare to the country , how false and malicious these r●ports are : since the house was so far f●om disrellishing their petitions , or turning their free offer to their disadvantage , as that they returned their publike thanks when the petition was received : passed a vote to approve of their offer , and since by another vote justified them in the same act upon his majesties taking notice thereof . and have since ordered that the same counties which paid their pole-mony heretofore at yorke , shall now pay all their proportions of the bill of foure hundred thousand pounds shortly to be raised to the discharge of the billet-mony in your county and those other counties where it is owing , which if it shall not fully satisfie , they will discharge as soone as the great necessities of the kingdome can possibly permit . and likewise they command mee to let you know that they doe very much wonder at the impiety and impudence of those men who dare to hinder the advancement of the glory of god and of his worship . and also to scandalize the piety of this house in so high a measure , as to say those good ministers endeavours are not acceptable to it , they accounting it their greatest honour to patronize painfull preachers in the performance of their duties . and being resolved to cherish & advance with their utmost power , whatsoever may tend to the propagating of religion of which they hold those exercises to be an especiall means . this house therefore being very sensible of the great inconveniences which may happen by their misreports in these distracted times , and from the malice of these men , if it should proceed uncontrolled desires , and enjoyns you to return the names aswell of those who have vented these untruths , as likewise of those who have diswaded the trained bands in holdernesse , from entring into hull upon the parliaments order : perswading

and though we came in a peaceable way , reposing the greatest confidence in the loveand loyalty of our people , by offering ( as we did ) to put our own person , and our two sons , but with twenty horse , into that town , there being in it a garrison of about eight hundred souldiers ; yet we were not onely denied entrance , but in a warlike manner opposed by sir iohn hotham , the armed men being placed in all the ports , and about all the walls of the town , alleadging ( though falsly ) for his excuse , the command of the parliament , and being pressed by vs to shew such an order in writing , he could not do it ; for we were ever very confident that there was never any publike order of theirs , that could so much as imply a denyall to our admission ; we knowing well enough , that he was entrusted by them for a guard and security of that place against forreign enemies , or those at home who are dis-affected in religion , and not against his naturall soveraign , which hostile opposition and adtuall levying of war against our person , being by the statute of ed. . enacted high treason : which statute considered , and that for the avoyding of all lealousies , as we have said , wee were content to have been admitted with so very small a number in our company , we were thereupon constrained to proclaim the said sir iohn hotham , and all those that should adhere to , or assist him , traytors . of all which abovesaid passages , we have acquainted our parliament , demanding lustice to be done upon him , that they might thereby have oportunity to vindicate the imputation laid on them by sir iohn hotham , and wethe easier way to chastize , according to the law , so high a treason . and lest a misunderstanding of our intentions , or of the law may misguide any of our loyall and wel-affected subjects , the inhabitants , captains , officers , or souldiers in that town , we have thought fit to commend to your consideration the aforenamed statute , with that of the . of hen. . cha. wherein it is dec●ared , by the unanimous assent of parliament , that the subjects of this realme are bound , by the duty of allegiance , to serve the king for . the time being , for the defence of his person and the land , against every rebellion , might , or power raised against him , and with his majesty to ente , or abide in service in battell , if cause so require . and it was therefore then enacted , that from thenceforth no person whatsoever that shall attend upon the king , or be in place , by his command within or without the land that for the same deed and true service of allegiance , he , and they be no wayes attaint or convict of high treason , or of other offences for that cause , by any processe of law , whereby he , or any of them shall lose or forfeit lives , lands , tenements , goods or any thing ;

and all this exercised by a party who pretend nothing but the religion of god , the law of the land , and the liberty of the subject , ( and all this is done under pretence of parliament power . ) yet ( blessed be god for it ) all they who live in these parts under my charge , can with one accord testifie , that as yet they have not tasted in the least degree any of these sharp outrages , either in their possessions , persons or goods , from that party in whō they had little reason to put any trust , if by my forces they had not beene kept under : nor yet can any of that lawlesse party averre , that by any forces of mine , or indeed any force at all , they have suffered under such wicked veaxtions , as they of their owne side in all places where they have had power , have used towards these who have continued in loyalty and obedience to his majesty . and farther , that his majesties port and haven ; hath to his great benefit , and the comfort of all his good subjects who adhere to him , been so secured as that now it remaineth as intirely at his majesties devotion , as ever it did in times of highest peace and tranquillity . but it hath not pleased god , that our neighbours in yorkeshire , and the adjacent counties should enjoy the like calme , which hath moved many of the prime noblemen and gentlemen of the county of yorke , to remonstrate unto me their sufferings , which they endure from sir john hotham his son , and many their seditious and outragious complices , and to desire my ayd for the redressing of them , and repressing their tumultuous oppressions , before they shall swell to that height , as it cannot stand with the safety of the persons and estates of his majesties good subjects in yorkeshire , to make any expressions of their loyalty and allegiance to his majesty , unlesse by some of my forces they be speedily comforted and relieved . i having seriously weighed the purport of my commission , and finding it not only consistent with , and agreeable to the same ; but knowing well his majesties sacred intention and constant resolution to secure the lives and liberties of his subjects by all meanes which he can compasse : i have now resolved to assist his majesties distressed subjects in the county of york with competent forces ; and yet to leave this town , and the two other counties under my charge , so strongly guarded , that their former security shall be no wayes discontinued or intercepted . and therefore i do by these presents , desire all his majesties loyall subjects of the county of york to take these particulars into their serious consideration , and i expect credit to be given to them . first , that i come not into their county by intrusion , but by invitation ; and that from those noblemen and gentlemen , whom by long experience , they have known to be their soundest and sincerest patriots , and who have promised me in their names a chearfull reception , their utmost assistance , and absolute obedience to all my just and lawfull commandements . secondly , i do solemnely promise , that i come free from the least intention of pillaging and plundering any of his majesties good and loyall subjects , or of exacting any thing from them which shall be against the priviledges of a free parliament , the known lawes of the land , and liberty of the subject . and thirdly , that i intend by my forces to vindicate you from the violent incrochment and oppressions made upon you in any of these particulars , by those who to their owne lawlesse ends , abuse the sacred name of parliament . and fourthly , that i shall ( during the time of my abode amongst you ) do nothing of moment , but by the advice and consultation with those noblemen and gentlemen , who have been solicitors to me in your behalfe ; and when it shall please god to give a happy consummation to those greate businesses for which i intend to come amongst you , i shall retire my selfe and forces out of your county , with much more cheerefulnesse then i conducted them thither . and now i desire to give satisfaction both to you of yorkeshire , and all other true protestants of this kingdome , why i have been necessitated to take under my command and conduct diverse popish recusants in these northern parts . first , it was not his majesties intention , nor the intention ( for any thing i know ) of any in authority under him , to admitt any of them into this service , if the way had not been chalked out unto his majesty , and his ministers , by these very men ; on whose forge this objection was hammered : let the muster roles of that army which is named from the parliament be perused , and then it shall appeare plainly , that the mannagers of that army do exactly and distinctly know , that they now have , and for many moneths have had great numbers under their pay , both english , french and other nations , whom at the time of their enrolement ( and ever since ) they did know to have been professed papists : whereas by the contrary , it is notoriousley knowne , that before this course was taken by the other party ; his majesty and his ministers did not admit to , nor continue any souldiers in pay , who were suspected to be that way inclined , or did refuse the oathes of allegiance and supremacy ; not that his majesty thought it unlawfull for him so to doe , or that he did not hold his recusant subjects , to be as strongly obliged by the lawes of this land for the defence of his person , and the liberty of parliaments , and lawes of this kingdome , as any of his protestant subjects ; for if the kingdome stood now under the feare of a forraigne invasion , is it to be conceived , that the recusants of this land were by the lawes of the same obliged to adventure their lives and fortunes in defence thereof ? sure the great confusion which is now in this kingdome is of as fearfull a consequence as any forraine invasion possibly can be , and therefore the recusants are so farre from being disobliged , as they stand deeply obliged for giving their assistance in this time of extremity , if they shall be required ; but his majesty was very cautelous and tender in this point , and certainly would not have looked towards it , if the other party had not first assumed that liberty to themselves , from which by the law of the land he saw himselfe no way barred . if there be no barre in law against it , then let us examine these pretended grand inconveniences , wherewith ( as they alledge ) it is attended : sure the wisest heathen emperors that ever were , did admit into their armies whole legions of christian souldiers , whose fidelity they relied much upon , though the emperours themselves blasphemed that god whom those christian souldiers adored , look upon christian popish emperours ; did charles the fifth , that wise & warlike emperour , refuse the service of any of the protestants of germany in that army wherewith he made war upon the protestants ? no , but cherished all such of them as he did conceive to stand for the majesty and liberty of the empire : looke upon protestant kings and princes ; did henry the fourth the late french king , while he was yet a protestant , reject the assistance of those many french papists , who spent their lives in asserting his crown , and approveing their allegeance to him : or did blessed queene elizabeth of most pretious memory , upon whose ayd and advice that great king did principally rely , go about to perswade him to dismisse all his popish subjects out of his army ? and yet it was well known , that she was the greatest patron and prop of the protestant religion in the whole world . do our neighbours of the united provinces reject the auxiliary regiments under the pay of the french king , because many of them ( if not most ) are papists , so long as they are secured of their fidelity to them ? the point then will not be of their religion , but whether they may be trusted in point of fidelity and allegeance . but they doe alledge in that point , they are not to be trusted , since they refuse to take the oath of allegeance and supremacy ; it were to be wished , that those blessed times had beene perpetuated to us , in which it had continued a good distinction , though not betweene ill papists , yet betweene jesuited papists and protestants , the taking or refusing of those two oathes ; but wee have lived to see , that these two oathes ( to the intolerable scandall of the protestant religion ) are indeed taken by some who call themselves protestants , but most manifestly violated ; and refused to be taken by some papists , and yet the tenour of them kept by those refusers . our saviours question in the gospell was , whether of the two was the better servant , he who said he would doe what his master bid him , but did it not : or he who said he would not doe it , but yet did it . this latter , by our saviours approbation , was the better servant : it is easie to be applied : hath not his majesty , and all the world reason to thinke that those recusants who upon weake , yet seeming strong grounds unto them , refused to take the oath of allegeance , and yet at this time performe the contents of it , are farre better subjects and ( in this point ) farre better christians , then all those protestants who have taken this oath , and yet at this time practise quite contrary to that which is contained in it ? and not only to what is contained in it , but to what is contained in the last protestation , which they themselves so magnified , and in it did so expressly averre the defence of the kings person and dignity ; so that the tumultuous petitioners who came riding to the parliament through the streets of london , with that protestation in their hats , seemed too honest and good subjects , like men standing upon severall pilloryes with papers in their hats , carrying in them their crime and condemnation for it . and besides , it is well knowne , that there are other recusants in england besides the popish , and those are such , who will not communicate in our service and sacraments as they are established by the lawes of this kingdome ; and yet some of these are admitted to sit in either house of parliament ; though , contrary to the order of parliament , they have not received the communion . and how many hundreds be in the adverse army , of anabaptists , brownists , and other sectaries , who by the lawes of this land are reputed farre more dangerous recusants , and doe incurre by the same law , farre heavier punishments then ordinary papists do ; for they being convicted are to abjure the land and kingdome ; whereas papists incurre onely personall or pecuniary mulcts , if they be not priests or jesuites , or harbourers of them . if one would truly learne the damnable doctrines of these recusant separatists , and foresee how , upon their owne ground and tenents , when they shall have power to put them in practice , they will attempt the cutting of throats of all landlords and magistrates , and will maintaine , that it is against the law of god for any man to hold an estate by law or birth-right ; but onely according to merit and worth . let him read the commentaries of john sleidan a grave and wise historian , who in the life of charles the fifth , hath excellently set downe their lamentable tenents and tragedies , broached and acted by them about the beginning of the lutheran reformation , and is now in english , and goes under the name of , a warning for england . to conclude , i wish from my heart there were recusants of no kind in this kingdome ; i am resolved , as i have lived , so to die in the profession of the true reformed religion , as it now standeth established by the lawes of the land , and as it was professed , and practiced in the purest times of peerlesse queene elizabeth , and for these few recusants under my command , i shall use all possible care , that they do nothing against the lawes of this kingdome , for i have received them , not for their religion , but for the allegiance which they professe to so gratious a king : whom i pray god to protect , and long continue amongst us , and let all good people say , amen . finis . his majesties declaration to the ministers, freeholders, farmers, and substantiall copy-holders of the county of yorke assembled by his majesties speciall summons, at heworth moore, neere the city of yorke;

on friday , the . of june , . wee would have you to be assured that we never intended the least neglect unto you in any former summons of the countrey , our love , as well as our protection , extending to all our subjects ; but as you are a great body , time and conveniency must be observed in your assembling . that you may know the generall reasons of our being here , you must understand , that when we found it neither safe nor honourable to expose our person to the tumultuous and licentious proceedings of many ( which to this day are unpunished ) who did disorderly approach neere our court at whitehall , we trusted this part of our dominions chiefly to reside in ; where , as most of the gentry already have , so we assure our selves the rest of you will give us cleere testimony of your service and obedience , which we will never use otherwise then for the defence of the true orthodoxe religion professed and setled in queen elizabeths time , and confirmed by the authority of the statutes of this realm , the defence of the laws and fundamentall constitutions of this kingdome ( as the justest measure and rule of our prerogative , and your liberties and rights ) and lastly , for the preservation of the peace of this kingdome . as for our own zeal to the protestant profession , we refer all the world to our daily exercise of , and our declarations concerning it , and execution of the laws against the papists ; so likewise we cannot but declare our selfe most heartily sorry to finde such separatists and schismaticks , who presume , against law , to foment new doctrines and disciplines to the disturbance of church and state . for the law , it being the common inheritance of our people , we shall never enforce any prerogative of ours beyond it , but submit our self to it , and give you , and all our subjects the fullest latitude of it , both for the liberty of your persons , and the propriety of your estates . and for an inviolable confidence and assurance hereof , as we take god ( the searcher of all hearts ) to witnesse our reall intention herein , so we shall no longer desire you to stand for the defence of our person , honour , and just prerogatives , then we shall maintain the laws of the land , the liberty of your persons , and the propriety of your goods . and for the cleere understanding of our resolutions to maintain peace , we may have the confidence and happinesse to refer ( against all malignity whatsoever ) to our former sixteen yeares reign ; ( too long to dissemble our nature ) if in all this time wee never caused the effusion of one drop of blood , it must needs be thought , that in our riper judgement in government , we should never open such issues as might drown us and our posterity in them : but we are sure to have no enemies , but in the defence of the true protestant profession , the right of the established laws , and for the preservation of peace : and certainly all these must be all yours , as well as our enemies . and to the end that this present posture wherein we meet , should not affright you , with the distempers of the times , the example of the two houses having made us prepare for a guard to us and our childrens persons , we wish ; you to looke into the composition and constitution of it , and you will finde it so far from the face or feare of war , that it serves to secure you , as well as us , from it : for our choice is of the prime gentry , and of one regiment of our trained bands , which cannot be thought to oppresse the countrey ( being their own ) nor war with themselves . and we further assure you , we never intended to use foreigners or disaffected in religion : and that you may fully assure your selves of our sole dependancy upon the love and service of our own people , to live and die with them . we have armed these our subjects ; which had been most irrationall , if we had ever intended to have used strangers . and farther , you may perceive that we receive none , but such as stand cleere in loyalty and religion , for which reason we have caused the oathes of allegiance and supremacy to be given them . likewise , to prevent any distempers at home , we have , and shall put the trained bands of all this our kingdome under the command of persons of honour , confidence , and affection to their countrey ; straitly charging , upon their allegiance , no officer to accept any command in them , nor souldiers to obey any save such as are authorized by vs . and for the prevention of any innovated power over you , you shall have vs here to govern you , and the souldiory to protect you in peace , and to relieve you against all oppressions ; for that , as we have told you before , must arise from some great violation ( which we hope god will prevent ) and not from this preparation of our subjects . therefore let none of you be affrighted with vain feares ; if such a warre should follow , it followes the authors home to their owne doores : and such ( by the confidence of our person with you ) we assure our self you are not . here we had left you to your fidelity and duty , had not some malicious insolence in our former meetings sent forth most presumptuous summons , deceiving our people , and presuming upon our royall authority ; and these present themselves as great defenders of religion , peace , and liberty ; whereas they become infectious , and contagious to the people , seducing them into vaine fancies and delusions , as may appeare by their warrants which we could trace to some pulpits , as we are credibly informed : and you see it were just in vs , to punish these as authors of sedition , but that it would be too great a favour , for it would honour them with the title of martyrdome , for gods cause , as they vainely pretend : but you may now see from whence this spirit comes , that would make vs to be in the act of destruction of religion , our person a disturber of the peace , and ready to introduce slavery . these here are all the forraign forces we have , or ever shall intend to have , to act these great designes , notwithstanding the vaine feares hitherto imagined . so that you see it is high time that these fancies were dispersed and driven away , that we might be repaired in honour and interest , and you enjoy the blessing of peace and happinesse ; the advancement whereof shall be our study and comfort : and therefore we shall ( when you shall thinke it a convenient time ) ease you in the number of the trained bands : and for your billet-money , it had beene long since paid , but that no part of the subsidies ( which we passed for that purpose ) came to our hands , and shall not be wanting in any thing that lieth in vs for the full satisfaction thereof : and shall make our grace and bounty to you answerable to your best fidelity and loyalty , as occasion shall be offered to vs . york : printed by robert barker , printer to the kings most excellent majesty : and by the assignes of john bill : and reprinted at london , for john sweeting , at the angell in popes head alley . . the copy of a vvarrant from the kings most excellent majestie, directed unto the high-sheriffe of the county of york for summoning of all gentlemen and others, being protestants, who are charged with horses for his majesties service, or have listed themselves to attend personally for his majesties security;

and most of the gentry of yorkshire , and divers kentish gentlemen and others , sate in the deanery all the last weeke , and they promis● to raise the king men in the northerne parts , and in wales . sunday , great store of carriages came from beverley , in regard the siege of hull was given over : this day came fourteen peeces of ordnance to the mannour at yorke , and some carriages more loaden with powder , shot , match , fire-locks , and carbines , and divers other necessaries for warre , which was laide up in the storehouse at yorke . this day likewise was brought great store of ammunition to yorke , from durham to cliffe , and hartlepoole , which came in that ship , that lately arrived from holland . vpon monday , news was brought to york of another ship that was arrived at the holy island neere barwicke , loaden with ammunition also that was sent from the queene . likewise this day came into yorke above waggons loaden with saddles , bridles , bits , pistolls , and carbines , powder and shot , with divers other engines for warre . this day the lord generall the earle of lindsey having disbanded the army at beverley , returned to yorke by his majesties command ;

for which it seems these cavalliers did beare him a grudge , calling him roundhead , and was heard to say two or three dayes before they would pillage him , by which means three of them is taken , but the rest got away . when his majesty heard of it , he was much incensed therewith , and said , if they could be all taken , every man of them should dye for it ; to be an example for future times . thursday , the king went to clifton , a myle off yorke to see some horse exercised , which was sent him by divers of the gentry of yorkshire ▪ and the bishopricke of durham ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng gerard, gilbert, -- sir, fl. -- early works to . calverley, henry, -- sir, d. -- early works to . england and wales. -- parliament -- early works to . great britain -- history -- charles ii, - -- early works to . yorkshire (england) -- history -- early works to . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images - john pas sampled and proofread - john pas text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion a congratulatory letter of thanks from the corporation of north allerton in the county of york to their two representatives in parliament upon the advice of the late prorogation ;

being assured , that they would from time to time impart them to both houses , that such consideration might be had of them , as the necessity of the cause required : now i addresse this relation to you ; not doubting but that it shall be timely imparted to both houses , and to the committee for safety of the kingdom , that the affaires of the country being known to them all , they may be provided for , as their great wisdoms shal see convenient . i have formerly advertised , that the earl of newcastles army have seized upon leeds , where they plunder the well affected party , and raise a very great sum of money , out of those that they can draw to compound for their securities . and from leeds they marched on sunday , the of this moneth , with troops of horse , companies of dragoones , foot , and two drakes , of the earl of newcastles army , besides sir william savile , and divers other gentlemen of yorkeshire , and their forces that joyned themselves with them , and came to bradford , about ten a clock in the morning , intending to surpize the town , in time of prayer ; but the town having scours abroad , had notice of their com●ing , and gave the alarme to the country , who came in to their succour from the parts adjoyning , yet they had not in all above . muskets , the rest being armed with clubs , and such rustique weapons ; with which smal force , they put the cause to tryall , with the great strength of the enemy , who planted their drakes , and discharged each of them times upon the town , until a townsman , with a fouling-piece , kil'd one of the canoniers , and then they all with great courage issued from the town upon the enemys , and kild many of them , and took about prisoners , and forced the rest to retreat , leaving of their mu●kets and barrell of their powder , with much other provision behind them , and this with losse of three bradford men : the report of the country is , that the enemies amongst those that were kild lost collonel evers , and captain bynnes , and an other commander , and that collomel goring , ( generall of the horse , with the earl of newcastle ) was wounded , and serjeant major carr taken prisoner ; and it is generally spoken , that more are run away upon the retreat , and are not since returned to leeds . in which victory the hand and power of god was most evident , the town being open on all sides , and of it selfe not defensible , assaulted on every side by a malicious and bloody enemy , and defended by a few half-naked men , there being in the town not above muskets , before they got more by the spoiles of their enemies : so that slaughter was for the most part with clubs , and sythes mounted no poles , when they closed , and came to handblows ; with this defeat the enemies are so enraged , as they threaten revenge to bradford ; whereupon the bradford-men sent to me for succour , of men , and armes ; and i have sent my son , and sir henry fowles to them , with three troops of horse , and dragoneers , who are safely arived there , and received with great joy , and acclamation of the country , who flock to him and offer themselves most willingly , to serve against their popish enemies , if armes could be furnished to them ; he hath already surprised some victuals sent in upon warrants to the enemy at leeds by the overawed countrey , and he hath sent captain mildmay , with his troope of horse , and some dragoones into craven , to stop the raising of money , and forces in that country , which is attempted by the earle of cumberland , who is lately retyred from york to skipton , and i hope he wil leave nothing unattempted , that may conduce to the safety of the country , so far as can be expected , from the few forces he hath with him . the earle of newcastle proceeds in raising money by all the illegal and oppressive waies that can be devised ; and both by the commission of aray , and by presses made in the churches , raised all the men he can , which being attempted in cleveland by certain of the disaffected gentry , their expectations were prevented , and the resort and appearance of the people stopped , and the commissioners themselves forced to fly , by sir hugh cholmley , to whom i sent speciall order to that end ; and i heare he hath also been at malton , and there surprised both the receiver and moneys , raised out of the countrie thereabouts , by those warrants . i cannot heare certainly what moneys , or men , the earl of newcastle hath raised since he came into this country ; but he grants commissions to sundry convict recusants , to raise troops of horse ; as sir iohn middleton , sir walter vavasor , m. tyndal , and others , who i heare are now raising their men , and i heare daily complaints of horrible plunders , and spoyls done by that army , and those by speciall order , and in such manner , as if they be not speedily restrained , and his popish army expelled the country , they wil not only utterly ruine the trade and commerce of the country , but discourage and disable all husbandry , and so bring poverty and famine upon the land . since our last estimate of our forces , there is little alteration of them , onely dragoners of sir anthony irbyes regiment are come , which i have sent to bradford , with my sonne , and col. boynton with his regiment being foot , and horse are come hither , cap. cromptons dragooners , as he complains to me are all run away , so i have given him a new commission to raise a company , and for any further supplies , i cannot expect them , untill the ayds come from the south ; for sir hugh cholmley , as i heare , cannot bring above men , and those are so much desired , to be retained in the northriding , to interrupt the rising of that country , in aide of the earl of new-castle , as i doe not presse his march this way . and for the lincolneshire aids expected to be sent to us , i cannot hope for any from them having this day received a letter by captaine hatcher , wherein the earle of lincolne , and the committee at lincolne write , that they are not able , to defend themselves , against foot , and three troops of dragoones , and two troops of horse , with seven peeces of ordinance sent to newarke , by the earle of new castle and therefore desire help from me , i have formerly represented to the committee the extreame want of money here , and how impossible it is to raise any , the enemy being master of the field ; i have sent to sir john hotham , sir edward rhodes , sir hugh cholmley , and captaine hotham , but they all aleadge great necessities of their own , and helpes me with none ; so that i am put upon such streights , as seldom happen , to retaine an army together , and with it serve upon a more potent enemy ; having neither money to pay them , nor free quarter to give them ; if speedy supply of money do not come , i much feare the souldiers will steale away , and desert the service : i now have received your letters signifying , that the house have designed us . l. to be presently sent , and do take further care for all necessaries to be supplied ; for which i beseech you , returne my humble thanks , and assure them that there shall want no care , nor fidelity in me , to advance the service , so highly concerning the religion , and lawes of the land : i am now about to procure billet for dayes , of the inhabitants of the townes where i quarter , and to engage for the payment assoone as the money comes to mee ; all which i beseech you , represent to that honorable assembly , whose care i doubt not , but will supply all our wants now represented , especially hasting down the forces of the southerne parts , with the money intended for our supplies . it is advised by the commanders here not to fall upon any of the enemies quarters at this time , untill we be stronger , or have certaine intelligence of their weakenesse ;

they came in so fas● with our scouts , that they were in the towne before many of our men could be drawne out , yet the most part of our souldiers , carried themselves with such resolution , as they forced the enemy to retreate in great confusion , and tooke three of them prisoners , and this with the losse of one man of our part . die . mercurii , . januar. . whereas many of the trained-bands and others , listed under severall collonels and captaines , inhabiting within the cities of london and westminster , and the countie of middlesex , have neglected to make their appearance in armes , to doe such service , by day or night , within the cities and liberties aforesaid , and in the tower of london as of them hath beene required , being lawfully summoned thereunto by the beate of drum , or otherwise , for the defence of king and parliament ;

conversion the good and prosperous successe of the parliaments forces in york-shire : against the earle of new-castle and his popish adherents . as it was sent in a letter from the right honourable the lord fairefax , and read in both houses of parliament , on monday , ian. . . with some observations of the lords and commons upon the said happy proceedings , as so many answers from heaven , which god hath given to the prayers of his servants . published , that their mouths and hearts may be as much enlarged in praises , as they have been in prayers . die lunae , ian. . ordered by the lords and commons assembled in parliament , that this letter , with the observations thereon , be forthwith printed and published . john browne , cler. parliament . ian. . printed for iohn wright in the old bailey . . the lord fairfax his letter . sir , it is most necessary that i continue my relation to you , of the state and condition of the affairs in this country , that they may be made knowne to both houses , and provision made for succours to be sent us , which have hitherto come very slowly , though they have made large expressions of their care , we have beene long destitute of money to pay the army , and to supply that want , i have used all possible industry , by taking up money upon exchange , and by calling upon the country to supply me for the present upon the publique faith : the want of money doth so perplex that part of the army here , as i imagine , the house will not expect any considerable matter to be done by us , though god be thanked the forces i send from hence and are raysed by the country with other places , are daily acting something to advance the publique service , as in the northriding where sir hugh cholmley hath carried himselfe very bravely , giving severall defeates to the enemy nere malton , and on monday the . of this moneth , joyning his forces to sir mathew boynton , they fell upon colonell slingsby at gisbrowgh , where they defeated him and . horse and foot with him , that had done much spoyle in the northriding , they wounded and tooke colonell slingsby himselfe , with . other prisoners , kil'd a great many , and recovered . armes with the place ; amongst the prisoners taken by sir hugh cholmley at malton , and here at gisbrowgh , it is found that a great number are papists , and indeed the strength of the enemies will be found to consist much of papists & popish affected , the earle of new-castle , granting his commissions for raysing men to papists for the most part , i have heard of late of commissions granted to twelve recusants of these parts , whose names i send enclosed , ●●t is not to be doubted he walkes the same wayes in other places as well as here , which courses have so advanced popery as i heare , that in yorke where many recusants are setled , masse is ordinarily sayd in every street , and such affronts offered to the protestants and their ministery , as few dare resort to church , and in other parts of the country i am informed , that for many miles together the religious ministery , are all either fled or imprisoned ▪ which persecutions , if they be not timely repressed , will extirpe or much depresse the protestant religion in these parts , about bradford and hallifax , god hath blessed my son and those small forces with good successe against the enemy in severall light skirmishes , and on monday was seven night , he seized on the lord saviles house at howley , and put about . musquetiers into it , and on tuesday i sent sir william fairfax , and his officers with some armes , to raise his regiment in those parts , and for his convoy i sent what horse and dragooners i could spare from hence , directing them to stay with my son to assist him in his designe against leeds , and yesternight i received letters from him , wherein he relates to me , that on monday last he drew his forces out of bradford , and marched to leeds , where sir william savill commanded in chiefe , my son first summoned them by a trumpet to yeeld , which being refused , the assault began , wherein his men carryed themselves with great resolution , the towne being fortyfied on all sides , furnished with two brasse sakers , and manned with . souldiers , yet they forced an entry in two houres fight , there being not lost on both sides above . men , but he tooke . colours , . prisoners ( of which are commanders ) and with the prisoners they tooke many armes , the sakers and all the munition they had , which was not much ; on our part we lost . men , and capt. briggs , and capt. lee , both sore wounded , and i perceive that in this exploit sir william fairfax , sir thomas norcliffe , and sarjeant major forbes , with the rest of the commanders carryed themselves very gallantly , the people doe observe that sir william savill , and the chiefe commanders , on the other side soone after the fight began , fled by secret wayes towards pomfret , and their men after them by degrees , but by the way serjeant major 〈◊〉 was drowned crossing the river , and sir william savill very narrowly escaped the like fate . after leeds was thus won , my son writes that hee intended to have marched to wakefield , where sir george wentworth commanded , but was prevented therin by the enemies fears , who hearing he had taken leeds , fled all away from wakefield to pontefract , and left the towne , so he hath sent some forces to invest and keepe that place : thus hath god blessed their endeavours on that side , and now i am told that capt. hotham and sir john savill , are gone up yesterday with some forces into those parts , but upon what designe i know not , yesterday morning i had some intelligence , that the most part of the forces were marched the day before out of doncaster , so i have sent 〈◊〉 serjeant major generall with six companies of 〈◊〉 to invest that place , and to leave some forces to keepe it untill more strength come to us , out of the southerne counties , which if they could be hastened hither might very much advance the cause , & crush their popish forces before they be supplyed by the queens comming , or their party in scotland , of which ther is sōe expectation , i desire you wil make known to the house the great extremities that are put upon me , & that a certain course may be setled for supplying us with money for the entertainment of the army , in such season , as our men may be encouraged in the service , and not fall into a way of plundering for want of pay , my sonne upon the taking of leeds , though he entered it by force , yet he restrayned his army from pillaging , so i have ordered that the malignants in lieu of the spoyle , chalenged to be due unto the soldiers , shall give them a moneths entertainement , which i hope will content both parties , yesternight intelligence was brought to me , that the earle of new-castle hath drawne downe all his forces from the south-parts of york-shire , those onely excepted that keepe the castle at pomfret , for yesterday he marched from sherborne , to yorke , with colours , ● pieces of of canon , and other carriages , the certaine cause i doe not yet know , but suppose it is to meet the armes and munition comming from new-castle , or to prepare for the queenes entertainement at yorke , which is much spoken of , i shall carry a vigilant eye upon his designes , and endeavour to prevent them , so farre as can hee expected from the forces under the command of ▪ selby , . ian. . sir , your most affectionate friend and servant . fer. fairefax , i have sent unto master white to be hewed unto you thr●● papers found with col. nell slingsby when he was taken at gisbrough by sir hugh cholmely which may peradventure be thought necessary to be made knowne to the house , if sir hugh have not already presented the transcript to you . the names of recusants in these parts , to whom the earle of new castle hath granted commissions to raise forces . m. robert traps . m. stevenson of thornton . s. iohn middleton . s. walter vavasor . m. andes . m. tindall . m. bretton . s. philip hungate . m. waterson . m. thwenge . capt. sare . capt. granger . besides those formerly printed by order of this house , and many more which are omitted . the observations of both houses of parliament , upon the aforesaid letter . vvhereas many and fervent prayers have beene sent up to god for his blessings to be powred downe upon the endeavours of the parliament in maintenance of his owne cause , and religion , now openly assaulted by papists , and because it is most just and necessary to observe the returne of these prayers , that our mouths and hearts may be as much enlarged in prayses , as they have beene in prayers . the lords and commons have thought fit to pnblish some late good successes , as so many answers from heaven which god hath given to the prayers of his servants . and whereas sundry late declarations have shewed to the world divers informations and proofs concerning the raysing of a popish army with an intention to subvert gods true religion ▪ professed and by law established in this kingdome and to introduce popish idollatry , and superstition , that it may appeare that , what was before an intention is now matter of fact , and really put in execution , a most certaine and true relation is here offered to publique notice and observation wherein it may be seene that this popish army hath set up the open practise of their abhominable idolatry in yorke the second city of this kingdome , and are grown to that height of insolence that they terrifie and drive away protestant ministers and people from frequenting , their owne churches and from the practise of their own religion , wherein they have given a patterne and pledge what they intend to doe , and what must be expected from them through the whole kingdome , the consideration hereof ( whereby the most precious things in the world ▪ gods glory and true worship , and the salvation , and soules of men are brought into danger ) ought to excite ▪ and stir up ( and we are confident it will ) the strongest endeavours and most vnited coniunctions of all religions , and well affected protestants and patriots 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and suppresse these common enemies of god , piety their country and common-wealth , for now , it plainly appeares that how ever they pretend to defend the authority and the lawes , yet their maine intention is to establish popery in this kingdome , and to extirpate the protestant religion which cannot be done without subuersion of the lawes , as the papists have all most effected in ireland . finis .
