Upon Tuesday being the tenth of this instant Month of August, a great Company of young men and others, were gathered together at the sign of the Crown (being the chiefest Inn in the town) at which Inn, most of the Rooms were filled, and many strong arguments there held, some approving of the late Engagement of Poyntz, and Massy, others detesting the same, saying they would live and die with his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, and that so long as breathe remained within their Bodies, they would sacrifice all their lives, for Himself, the Army and Kingdom's Cause.  
At which expression, the presbyterian party began to tremble, and shown themselves with most inveterate Colours, whereupon, great divisions arose, and many vehement blows ensued, for the forenamed parties who declared themselves for the aforesaid Generals, immediately retired out of their Rooms, and betook themselves to the back yard towards the Windmill, where was a very sudden engagement of a most desperate and hot Encounter, some crying out, that they would live and die for the true Worship and Discipline of Presbytery; others saying, that they would spend their dearest blood for the divine Worship of Independency; insomuch, that at the last the Encounter began to be so hot, that the adverse party began to practise the moving motion, and fain would have deserted the place, but could not, by reason of the close pursuit, whereupon they immediately threw down their arms, viz. Swords, clubs, and such like weapons, crying peccavi for the former Engagement, protesting never to do the like again.  
Some were wounded, but not many slain except two or three.  
After the fight was ended, each man betook himself towards his own home, and those that were wounded attended upon my cousin Blague the Surgeon.  
Our Country is now in a gallant posture of peace, etc.  
Thus, for the present, I humbly take my leave, only I entreat you to vouchsafe the intelligence of these our later times, and to annex hereunto, a copy of the late Articles in printed, as also the further proceed of high Excellency, etc.

The Articles follows, viz.  
I.  
HIs Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, being advanced near the City of London, with a gallant and puissant Army, occasioned by the late disturbances, and tumultuous Rise of divers dis-affected persons within this City, sent several Messages to the Lord Mayor, aldermans, and Common-council, for a speedy composall of all things in love, for the preservation and safety of this famous City, and for the preventing of a second War.  
Whereupon the Right Honourable the Lord Major, together with the Aldermen, and Common-council of the said City, seriously consulting and debating thereupon, after some time spent in debate thereof, resolved to send Commissioners to his Excellency, to treat with him, and his Council of War, which was accordingly done, and the said Commissioners dispatched away, insomuch that there began a happy treaty, and after two or three days spent in consultation concerning the great and weighty affairs of the Kingdom, the fourth day produced happy tidings of a peace, all things being agreed upon betwixt the City and the Army, which Agreement, or Articles, were to this effect, viz.  
1. That the For●es and Ordnance be forthwith drawn off from the Fortifications and Bulwarks about the Lines of Communication.  
2. That a speedy course may be taken for the quitting of all Forts on Southwark side, which are not as yet in the possession of the Forces under command of his Excellency.  
3. That Giles Fort, the two Forts at Foxe-Hall, and the rest of the Forts down to the Water side, be surrendered to his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, or any other whom he shall please to appoint.  
All which particulars were agreed upon, and assented to by the Lord Major, Aldermen and Commons of the City of London.   

The Copy of another Letter concerning the proceed of the Presbyterians in the North.  
SIR,  
THe Convention of the Estates at Edinburgh is newly begun, but we hear not of any resolves as yet, there be some that urge with great vehemency the necessity there is for that Kingdom to assist their Brethren that keep the covenant in England, in which the Clergy have done their parts, and by order of the Clergy upon an apprehension of some great danger to Religion in England and Scotland the 25 of July last, a general Fast was kept throughout Scotland, that God would direct the Committee of Estates and general Assembly of that Kingdom in preserving thereof, and being helpful to England, this many men believe doth carry a design which is of a higher nature than every ordinary capacity attained to and the committee of Estates themselves, stumble at the design of engaging against England, for that the invitation ●s not sufficient, nor a party in England sufficient to countenance such an undertaking, yet the busy headed clergy endeavour what they can in their Pulpits to move and stir up the People to take up Arms, and some think it is not without good cause, for if Presbytery doth not prosper well in England, they doubt of a continued good success thereof in Scotland.   
FINIS.
