Io. Brown. Cler. Parliament. LONDON, Printed for John Wright at the sign of the Kings-head in the Old-bailey. 1645. TO THE honourable WILLIAM lental Esq Speaker of the honourable House of Commons. Mr. Speaker, BEsides the general account, I have already given, by one of my servants whom I sent up to London yesterday, I thought fit to send this bearer Mr. bowls, who may more particularly inform you. Concerning the abundant goodness of God to this army, and the whole kingdom in the late victory, obtained at Naseby Field: The whole body of their foot taken and slain, such a list of the prisoners, could be made up in this short time I have sent, the horse all quitted the field, and were pursued within three miles of Leicester: their Ammunition, Ordnance, and carriages, all taken, among which there were, two demi Cannons, a whole Culverin and a mortar piece besides lesser pieces: We intend to move to Leicester, as soon as we have taken Order with our prisoners, and wounded men: all that I desire, is, that the honour of this great never to be forgotten mercy, may be given to God in an extraordinary day of thanksgiving; And that it may be improved to the good of his Church, and this kingdom: which shall be faithfully endeavoured by, Sir Your most humble servant, THOMAS FAIRFAX. Harborough June 15. 1645. Major Gen. Skiypo● was shot through his side; but notwithstanding he continued in the field with great resolution; And when I desired him to go off the field. He answered, he would not go so long as a man would stand, still doing his Office as a valiaut and wise Commander. Also colonel Butler, and colonel Iretan upon their first charge were both dangerously wounded, behaving themselves very gallantly, if I could enter into particulars; much ought be spoken of the resolution and courage of many Commanders both horse and foot, in this day's service. Some Irish are among the prisoners as I am informed, I have not time to make inquiry into it; I desire they may be proceeded against above, according to Ordinance of Parliament. For the Honourable William Lenthall Speaker of the Commons House of Parliament. SIR, BEing commanded by you to this service, I think myself bound to acquaint you with the good hand of God towards you, and us, we marched yesterday after the King who went before us from Daventry to Haverbrow, and quartered about six miles from him, this day we marched towards him, He drew out to meet us, both Armies engaged, we after three hour's fight, very doubtful, at last routed his Army, killed and took about five thousand, very many Officers, but of what quality we yet know not, we took also about two hundred Carriages all he had, and all his Guns, being twelve in number, whereof two were demi-cannon, two Demie-Culverins, (and I think) the rest Sacres, we pursued the enemy from three miles short of harbour to nine beyond, even to sight of Leicester whether the King fled. Sir this is none other but the hand of God, and to him alone belongs the Glory, wherein none are to share with him, the general served you with all faithfulness and honour, and the best commendations I can give him is, that I dare say he attributes all to God, and would rather perish than assumne to himself, which is an honest and a thriving way, and yet as much for bravery may be given to him in this action, as to a man. Honest men served you faithfully in this action, Sir they are trusty, I beseech you in the name of God not to discourage them, I wish this action may beget thankfulness, and humility in all that are concerned in it, he that ventures his life for the liberty of his Country I wish he trust God for the liberty of his conscience, and you for the liberty he fights for, in this he rests who is, Your most humble Servant, Oliver Crumwell. 14 June 1645 Haverbrow. For the Honourable William Lenthall Esquire, Speaker to the House of Commons. SIR, THis morning by day break we marched out of Guil●borow after the Enemy, after an hours march, we discovered their Horse drawn up at Sybbertoft three miles this side Ha●borough, an hour after their foot appeared, this was about eight in the morning, by ten we were disposed into a battalia on both sides, both sides with mighty shouts expressed a hearty desire of fighting, having for our parts recommended our cause to God's protection and received the word, which was God our strength, theirs Queen Mary, our forlorn hopes began the p●ay whiles both sides laboured for the hill and wind, which in conclusion was as it were equally divided, our forlorn hope gave back, and their right wing of Horse fell upon our left with such gallantry that ours were immediately routed, above a thousand ran a long with them, but such was the courage and diligence of the right wing backed with the foot, that they not only beat back the enemy from their train, but fell in with their Foot and after two hours dispute won all the field-peices (of which some are Cannon) most of their Badgage, mortar pieces, boats, nine thousand arms much powder and match, &c. And nigh four thousand prisoners their number was about twelve thousand, some six hundred slain, many Commanders of note, of ours not above one hundred, our Horse are still in pursuit and have taken many of theirs, the standard is ours, the King's Wagon and many Ladies. God Almighty give us thankful hearts for this great Victory, the most absolute as yet obtained, the general. Lieutenant-general Cromwell, and Major general Skippon (who is shot in the side, but not dangerous) did beyond expression gallantly, so did all our other Commanders and soldiers, we have lost but two captains, though this come late, be pleased to accept it from, Your honour's most humble Servants, Har.
