The same day Colonell Goring writ unto His Majestie , that he keeps Portsmouth for Him . and if He dares not confide in him ; If He will send another Governour , he will surrender his charge to the Person . The Kentish men are here , and very resolute for the King , and they say have stayed some of the Kings at Chattam ; Also there was some Ammunition yesterday sent to Leicester for His Majesties service , and the King intends to raise a great Army both of Horse and Foot within the Kingdome , divers Counties having proffered great store of Horse , Men , and moneys for His assistance ; 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 100000 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 30 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 .

Also they intended to have killed the Iustice , but that he made an escape from them . And it appears the said Mr , Marwood was lately put out of his place of being a Iustice , because he refused to put the Commission of Array in ex●cution , commanded by His Majesty ; 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 .
