ALSO A RELATION OF SOME Remarkable Passages, in the Fight: as it is sent up in a Letter from Hull, dated the sixth of july, 1644. Printed according to Order. LONDON, Printed for Ralph Rounthwait 1644. A RELATION OF SOME Remarkable Passages in the Fight near York. HAving had you often in my thoughts since I came down, and remembering my promise to write, I therefore waited an opportunity to give you an account of the proceed here, so nigh as I can exactly gather from the best intelligencers. The siege you heard was close laid to the walls of the City of York, and bravely maintained by the three Generals my Lord of Manchester, my Lord Fairfax, and General Lasley, that all provision was intercepted and cut off from the City; and none could go in or come out without the privity of our Forces, who lay close to the walls; which gave us great hopes that they could not continue; but ere long would yield; yet the report of Prince rupert's coming into Lancashire and overcoming and taking many Forts therein, made them in the City refuse very fair propositions condescended to by us, and still to stand out, and make great resistance by several times issuing forth of the City, but always to their cost, for many of them fell, and never returned to tell who got the better; The Prince as soon as he had wrought his Power and skill in Lancashire thinking to act his pleasure in Yorkshire advanced with a great Army both of Horse and Foot to Skipton in Craven, where he hovered a while; and after ma●ched as fare as Leedes; the noise of whose coming made many of the Country thereabouts fly as fare as this Town with bag and baggage for safety; and his Army being so nigh the Generals thought it was best to raise the siege and gather all into a body, and give the Prince a meeting, which was done upon Monday last; at which the Citizens much rejoiced and sallied forth and hunted about, and got in Provision; but many of the Country people took it very heavily; yet private respects must not be named before public and great concernements. Upon Tuesday the two great Armies met at a place called Hessey Moor about some five miles from the City, facing one another all the morning; and in the afternoon the Prince and his Troops came desperately riding up to the Scots, and my Lord Fairfax his Forces, and charged them so hotly that he put them to a disorder; and then (having given a watchword before) he and all his Soldiers cried aloud, They run in the Rear; which those that were in the Front thinking it to be true, retreated, and so disordered their own men; and thereupon the Prince fiercely pursued them, made them fly, and took some of their carriages, and so promised themselves the victory, and were taking the spoil, which they thought to have enjoyed; But the Lord of Hosts did so stir up the hearts of the three Noble Generals, eyeing the deal of God, that oftentimes in man's extremity He takes His own opportunity; that notwithstanding all that loss of Men and Arms, took boldness and courage unto them, gathering up those Horse Forces that were left into a body to assist those English and scott's that stood to it, and set upon them, as David with his small Army upon the numerous company of the Amalekites, while they were rejoicing over their spoils, and smote them until the evening; and recovered not only all their own that they had formerly lost; but also took all their Carriages, and eighteen piece of Ordnance, (some say more,) took two thousand Prisoners, and abundance of Arms, and some say much Treasure; totally routed the Foot, and scattered all the Horse, save that the Prince and some five hundred Horse fled to the walls of York, where they were received for half an hour, and presently the Prince, and my Lord of Newcastle, and those Horse that escaped, with what others they could rally, marched forth, some say to Scarbrough, others to Pomsret, but its uncertain yet where he is; The Generals have determined, nay (I hear) have laid siege again to the City, and sent it a summons, but no answer is returned as yet; they think the City would yield but for the multitude of Papists that are therein; we are still upon the guard for fear the Prince gather head again; the Lord save us, and deliver us from the tyranny of them, for they are mightily enraged; but he that is able to deliver us is also willing to deliverus, and hath saved us hitherto: These are such news and occurrents as are with us. Thus with my love to you desiring to hear from you, I rest, Your loving Friend T. M. Hull, 6 Julij, 1644. Officers taken by the Lord Fairfax and the Lord of Manchester. Major General Porter.
