AN EXPRESS RELATION OF THE PASSAGES AND PROCEED OF HIS MAJESTY'S ARMY UNDER THE COMMAND of His Excellence the Earl of Newcastle, against the Rebels under the Command of the Lord Fairfax and his Adherents.  
WE marched from Pomfret towards Bradford, and in our way thither we summoned Sir john Savile, Commander of Howley, to deliver up that House, and lay down his Arms so unjustly taken up, who returned an uncivil Answer, and that he would keep it maugre our Forces, whereupon we planted our Cannon against that House, and environed it upon Wednesday the 21 of june in the afternoon, and next morning took it by affault, and in it the said Commander in Chief, and all his Officers, and Soldiers, about 245, some few whereof were slain, the rest taken Prisoners; where by the unseasonableness of the weather we were enforced to remain till Friday the 30th of june, from whence we marched early towards Bradford, and when we had marched two miles or thereabouts we found a great Body of men, a greater number of Foot than we; and almost all Musquetiers, and some twenty Troops of Horse, and had possessed a place called Adderton moor, and taken the most advantageous places thereof, and lined several hedges with Musquetiers, and played so fiercely upon us, and that before the whole Body of our Foot could be drawn up, and their Horse likewise possessing a plain Field and a great Ditch betwixt us lined with Musquetiers, and keeping our Horse in a ground full of pits, that for the space of two hours or thereabouts, we were forced to give ground though very little: but when our Cannon was well placed, and our Foot once drawn up, within half an hour we put their Foot on the right Wing of the Battle to retire, and pursued them so hotly, that they presently were put into a disorderly retreat, whereupon part of our Horse fell in upon that Wing, and the Cannon playing upon the Body of their Horse killed many and routed them, together with our Horse charging at that time, so we pursued them, killing and taking them to Bradford Town end, which was more than two miles, in which Chase was slain (as is supposed) about 500 of the Enemies, and about 1400 taken Prisoners, amongst which many Officers, together with three field-Pieces, and all their Ammunition there, which was not much. We had many Soldier's hurt, two Colonels of Horse slain, Heron and Howard, and some Officers hurt, as Colonel Throckmorton, Colonel Carnabie, and Captain Maison, all recoverable, and not above twenty common Soldiers slain.  
That night we came before Bradford, a strong Town, and ill approaching to it, yet we made our approaches that night, the next day we had placed our Cannon and made places of Batteries very near the Town and Church, where they had two Drakes upon the top of the steeple, and lined the steeple with wool-packes, yet our Cannon dismounted their Drakes upon the top of the steeple, and battered the steeple so as none could stay on it, where they had many Musquetiers, and so we got both the ends of the Town before Sunday night, and in the night time Sir Thomas Fairfax Governor of the Town, his Lady, Major Gifford, and Sir Henry Fowlis escaped out of the Town, and upon a moor was forced to charge with their party a partee of our Horse, where his Lady and his Corner were taken Prisoners; but he and the other two being well horsed escaped though pursued very near Leedes, which was above five miles: and that morning our men entered the Town, took Prisoners,

William Warden & Nathaniel Gosse Gunners.   With all or most of the common Soldiers, which are in number 300, or thereabouts, besides the enlarging of 200 Prisoners of ours there, and taking of Arms, which are yet uncertain in number.  
That very day within three hours after came a Captain of ours, who among divers other Prisoners at Leedes, finding that my Lord Fairfax and his son were inclined to leave the Town (as they did) attended with three or four Troops of Horse, 200 Dragooners, and 300 Foot, broke out of Prison, possessed themselves of the Magazine, took all the Arms which were 1500 at least, eight Barrels of Powder, and twelve Pieces of Ordnance, with a very great proportion of Match and Ball, and so kept the Town till I sent Forces into it, besides the enlarging of seven hundred Prisoners there. The Lord Fairfax and his Son marched towards Selby, in which march his three hundred Foot ran away from him; and his Forces left being discovered by our Forces at the Garrison of Cawood were charged by them, and they fled into the Town of Selby, our Forces being too weak for them were forced to retire, so my Lord, his son Sir Thomas, Maior Gifford, Sir Henry Fowlis, and Sir Thomas Mauliverer took a boat, and passed themselves therein, and swimming their Horses over the River, and as their men were passing over some of them were drowned with crowding the Boats, and so they fled we conceive to Hull, or to Nottingham, but to which is not certain.  
The same day news was brought us from Hallifax, that all the Forces were run from thence, and have taken with them all our Prisoners that remained there, and so we are possessed of that Town, as also of Denton house, my Lord Fairfax his house, wherein there was a small Garrison, two Drakes, and two hundred men and Arms.
