Exceeding true news from HULL  
IT is a horrible thing for us that are Subjects to the King of England, we that have lived so many years under a peaceable government, and enjoyed the fruits of our vineyard, yea all the blessings that could be heaped upon a Nation, to make it happy, that now after these Haltion days, a storm threating so much danger should eclipse the sun and usher on destruction, what greater terror can there be imagined to fall upon a kingdom (so great) as civil wars, the King against his people, the son against his Father, when blood, revenge, and slaughter will triumph and revel in our Cities, our Wives and Children ravished and destroyed before our faces, we ourselves spectators of such horrible and unhuman Tragedies, being in no waves able to help or defend them; these are the effects of civil discords, and have we not just cause to fear that such will be the event of these Distractions, for these discontents between the King and Parliament, vomited by the malignant party hath already wrought a sad effect.  
For His Majesty hath declared his ireful Resolution, conceiving all those that have opposed him, and that shall oppose him, by whose hand or by whose directions soever it was done in both cases, by the help of God, for he will have justice, or else lose his own life in the requiring of it.  
Likewise his majesty declares, that if it be possible for his Subjects to believe that such a defence of himself with the utmost power he can make, Be raising war against the Parliament, he doubts not (howsoever it shall please God to deal with him in this contention) but that the justice of his cause will at last prevail against all those that have for their own ends corrupted the understanding of the people.  
Likewise it is apparent that his Majesty intends to put this his resolution in speedy execution, For the King is gone to Hull, attended with the Prince, with about 400 horsemen and 700 footmen musketieres', but the Inhabitants of Hull having intelligence of their intended purpose, forthwith raised 1000 men well armed to stand upon their guard, to prevent ensuing dangers; there is two Ships lately come from Holland, the Palsgrave being in one, and the Earl of Danbie in another, and many other Lords besides, and they came both to the mouth of Humber, but there arose a great wind, insomuch that they were forthwith driven from the shore, and dispersed at Sea from each other, but one of them coming up very boldly towards Hull, Sir John Hotham made shot at them, and beat them to other side of Humber, whereas yet they lie and have drawn certain of the chiefest of their Ordnance a shore, and have raised certain Batteries, and mounted their Ordnance thereon, against Sir John Hotham, and all the soldiers aforementioned, accompanied with the Prince, are gone to aid and assist him against the town, and they have brought with them great store of Ammunition, beside 300 thousand pounds of Money, so that the King, and the Prince, is gone to meet them with a strong Guard of soldiers for his own defence.  
Upon Thursday last, being the 7. of July, the King summoned all the Gentry and Commonalty of Yorkshire, that are Protestants to attend his Commands, where there was assembled great multitudes of Protestants, and many others that are favourers of the Malignant Party, and many professed Papists which were there (notwithstanding his majesty's command to the contrary) from which we may infer, that they that do presume to meet in a tumultuous manner, contrary to his majesty's command, while war is but in agitation. will be much boulder, and contest with that command, were War put in execution.  
Likewise the cavaliers commit outrages of all sorts, dreading nothing, neither Law, nor Authority, being countenanced by some great men that are too near the King in power, and Authority, so that we are not certain to enjoy any thing but by their allowance, nay they are so confident, that they will not stick to swear, that they will teach us new obedience, and many other reproachful and dangerous words.  
Likewise in the near adjoining Counties, as Leicestershire, Lancashire. and other parties, the Lord Strange, Mr. Hastings, Sir Thomas Aston, and divers others Commissioners of Array, have made great disturbances in those parts to the terror of the Inhabitants.  
Also it is feared that the Lord Digbie is secretly landed and both endeavour to raise men in Dorsetshire.  
These disturbances the Parliament having seriously considered of and found the great detriment that these evil affected persons may do to the Subjects under their authority of the Commission of Array, they have thought good to declare, that the Commission of Array is against Law, and that all those that are Actors in putting the Commission of Array in execution, shall be esteemed disturbers of the Peace of the kingdom, and destroyers of the the Liberties of the Subject.
