Saturday, Novemb. 19  
THis day from boulfover a House of the Earl of newcastles, came into the town of Derby certain Gentlemen as Agents to the said Earl, demanding the arms which were in the town to be lent to their Master, which the townsmen flatly denied them, being resolved to continue in their due obedience to the order of Parliament.  
This day also in the same town was a mutiny made by some Malignants who would have had the arms delivered to the Gentlemen, wherein one Frost a principal Malignant and a Papist is reported to be slain.  
In London there was a great rumor that they were up in arms in Kent to defend the County against the entrance of Prince Robert; but neither did the Prince advance that way further than Kingston, nor did they ever put themselves into a posture of defence.  
To day there was a Post came from Chester that brought certain news that the Lords Justices of Ireland, Sir William Parsons, and Sir John Borlace had instituted a solemn Fast to be held on every Wednesday the last of each month inimitation of the Fast ordained here in England by the High Court of Parliament, the said express declaring also the growing miseries of that unhappy, kingdom, and that God 〈◊〉 l●●sed to show his mercy 〈…〉 of 〈◊〉 miseries, by grand 〈…〉 to the marquess of Ormond against the Munster Rebels, wherein three thousand of them were slain, and twelve hundred taken prisoners, with divers Priests and Jesuits.  
From Yarmouth it is certified that, the Mary Rose, a good stout Ship of theirs at Sea, bound from France homeward, was set upon by two pirates men of War, with whom after a long and desperate cruel fight, Mary Rose sunk one of them and laid the other aboard, which was found to be when they had taken her an Argier vessel laden with Ammunition, most of her men being Irish, and bound for Berehaven.  
In the City of Coventry there happened a sudden accident this day, some popishly affected Malignants of Stratford upon Avon, being at the sign of the Bull at one Ellis Jones his house, in their cups began to speak ill of the Proceedings of the Parliament. Jones being an honest man, and a true honourer of the Parliament, told them it was uncivil in them to speak ill of their betters, and that for his part he did not desire any such discourse should be in his house, at which word one of them with a dam stabbed the poor man to the heart, and getting to their horses, all of them escaped out of the City.   

Sunday, Novemb. 20:  
THis day there happened in the afternoon a shrewd dissension in the Parish Church of Saint Andrew's Holborn in London. Divers over precise zealots in the Divine Service-time pulling the Minister out of his pew, and rending off his Surplice; but by the mediation and help of some good religious persons the said Fray was appeased, the Minister defended from danger, and those tumultuous fellows turned out of the Church.  
This day arrived near Minehead in Sommersetshire, in a little by creek, a fisherboat with some Cavaliers, sent out of South-Wales by the marquess Hertford, with Letters to his old confederate Sir Ralph Hopton, they being in the course habit of Fishermen came to the town and went to a poor blind alehouse, where they lustily carowsled, and in their drink spoke divers reproachful words against the Parliament; the Host went and informed the Constable, who with a sufficient guard made stay of them, they being four in number, and searching them found their Letters; which testified what they were: Which Letters with the said Cavaliers, he caused to be safely conveyed to Taunton, where the Cavaliers are in custody till further order be taken for their diposall.  
In York this day there was a mutiny in the Earl of Cumberlands Army for want of pay, plundering divers men's houses of worth in the time of Divine Service, which the said Earl could not, or at leastwise would not punish; so that he and his Cavaliers are grown very odious to the citizens.   

Monday, Novemb. 21.  
THis day came forth an Order from the High Court of Parliament, for restraining the misdemeanour of the soldiers, prohibiting them under pain of death to forbear plundering any Houses in or about the City of London.  
This day an aviso from Holland testified that the Queen is instantly to take shipping thence, but not as it was reported with any forces: The States being careful lest any detriment should arrive to the kingdom of England, either by their permission or furtherance.  
It was absolutely certified from Excester, that that rich and good City had resolved to send up to the Parliament a very large quantity of Plate, amounting to at least 20000 l. to be secured them in the public faith for the defence of the subject.  
In Norfolk divers Malignants (as it is informed)) strived to seduce the Country people, Gentlemen and others, to raise moneys for the support, as they pretended, of the King and Protestant Religion; but their endeavours by the wisdom and care of some well affected persons of quality was frustrated, and they laid hold of, are at Norwich in safe custody.  
Divers of the Essex men that came up to attend his Excellence the Earl of Warwick out of that County this day with many thanks for their forwardness, had licence to depart home for the security of that Country, lest any danger should arise there through the absence of the said Forces.   

Tuesday. November. 22.  
HIs Majesty this day arrived at Oxfard, whereas 'tis credibly believed he intends to reside all this Winter at that noble and famous University, the fountain of learning and piety, being converted into a receptacle for those mischievous Cavaliers, who lie at rack and manger at the ablest Citizens houses, without paying a penny, either for meat, drink, or lodging.  
This day the Earl of Cumberland, with some thousand men, made a sally upon Master Hotham's trenches, but he was bravely repulsed with the loss of 200 of his men; our soldiers pursuing them to the very gates, and entered with them, had not they within dischargeh their Ordnance, which lighted more on their own then on our soldiers. It is a lamentable estate that flourishing City is reduced into, Wheat being already at a mark a bushel, and the poor people ready to starve; so that if the Earl of Newcastle relieve it not, who hath been long looked for there, but dares not come, it must be surrendered within a week at most.  
This day my Lord of Newcastle, with a considerable strength of horse and foot, came into Durham, his army being one half Papists. It is thought here he intends to billet some part of his forces about this City all this Winter, God deliver us from them, they do more mischief by one half than the Scots.  
This day also was driven into Boston in Lincolnshire by reason of her leaks, an Esterling of Lubeck of four hundred tun, her lading being most part Ammunition, and sent out of the same to Newcastle, of which stay is made, till the order of the higher powers shall dispose on it.   

Wednesday, November. 23.  
THis day in F●tter Lane, some rude soldiers plu●●red the House of a Papist an Apothecary, it being against the 〈…〉 of the high Court of Parliament, divers of them were 〈…〉, and committed to prison, till they receive punishment.  
A rumour was abroad that the King of Denmark was at sea with a great fleet, whereupon his Excellency, the noble Earl of Warwick, and to prevent all dangers that might happen by sea, having before surrendered his charge of general, is, as it is believed, bound again for the narrow seas as admiral of the navy.  
Report was in this City, that his Excellence the Earl of Essex, was to advance towards Oxford, to fetch in the Cavaliers and Malignants; and that sergeant Major Skippon, that should have commanded the four thousand horses raised by the City for that purpose, hath command of greater honour and trust conferred on him by his Excellence. Colonel Hurry having command of those forces in his stead.  
It was also rumoured, that new Propositions were in agitation in the honourable the high Court of Parliament to be drawn up and sent to his Majesty to Oxford for an accommodation of peace; so willing and ready is that wife and sacred senate, to seek peace for the good of the people, though they have been so injured by the malignant's on the King's party.   

Thursday, Novemb. 24.  
THis day Letters came from Newcastle, that testified that there lately, since the last news arrived there two more ships with Ammunition, and that the Queen is expected there daily.  
This afternoon came out a Declaration of seven sheets of paper, printed at Oxford by his majesty's command, in answer to the late Observations upon his majesty's former Declarations, but nothing in it to any great purpose, but controverting the King's prerogative with the power and privileges of Parliament.  
This day also it was assured from Excester, that Sir Ralph Hopton being well beaten with his Cavaliers from that City, was retired again with Sir Baevil Greenvill into Cornwall.  
A memorable accident happened at Norwich, certain Cavaliers coming into that City, and one of them drinking a health to the confusion of the Parliament, was choked with his sudden draught, and fell down dead.  
Divers Gavaliers were this day brought up to Nawgate, and other prisons, that were taken roaming in the County of Middlesex, by some of his Excellence the Earl of Essex his forces. It was credibly reported, that the Earl of Cumbarland had proffered to deliver up the City to Sir Edw. Rhudes and Master Hotham conditionally he and his Cavaliers might depart with drums beating and flying colours; but his proposition would not be accepted, it proceeding out of mere necessity.   

Friday, Novemb. 25.  
THis morning came out an Order and Declaration from the high Court of Parliament, instituting and confirming the Lord Fairsax general of the forces in Yorkshire.  
This day also were brought to town five or six Cavaliers, and committed to safe custody. There came news to town from York, that the City was surrendered by the Earl of Cumberland to Master Hotham and the Parliaments Forces, upon what condition is not yet known. It was reported that the Scots in Ireland have had a great victory over Sir Philim O'neal the arch rebel, and that Rori Mac-Guire is there prisoner. It was also reported, that the plate which the City of Excester proffered to lend the Parliament on the public faith, is with a sufficient guard coming up to Guild-Hall, and is credibly, believed, that the good Cities of Norwich and Bristol, in an emulous imitation of Excester, will also lend on the same terms good store of plate to the commonwealth. Certainly it was affirmed this day, that some ships laden with ammunition were taken in the narrow seas, and are at Margate to come up the River.
