JULY, 18. A DIURNAL out of the NORTH: OR, The daily Occurrences of this Week, with every particular Passage at YORK and BEVERLEY, unto this present 16. of july. 1642. THis day the King desired to see his Army knit in a Posture, and road thorough and about them three or four times very gallantly mounted and Armed, the entire Body still faced which way soever he road, or passed by them, and stooping all their Colours together▪ made a shout of an hour long to Congratulate his Person; the number and men (both Commanders and private Soldiers) very considerable (however talked on and slighted) especially in their alacrity and forwardness to obey his Majesty, though the middle sort of the Country at first seemed to stand in a pause or cogitation what to resolve, but now, every day more and more come and send in supply of Men, Horses, money, and provision, the King hath won upon them so by his Protestations and disposition towards the Country. There was certain Carts of Provision intended out of Lincolnshire to Hull, interposed others think, rather betrayed willingly by those that had the Conduct to this side, and the suggestion is not unlikely because the men are are thanked; and ●is very credible the Common people of that Country, do begin to deny what they were lately, and break forth into murmurs. But the wisdom of our Parliament having placed such faithful and able men there, who are of sufficient power and eminency in the Country, discharge their Employment with a great deal of discretion and safety. And if their wisdoms do not suddenly contrive some supply for Hull, it may fall into an unexpected strait, for the Town gins to fall into parties and combustion amongst themselves, and Sir john finds it a hard task to make his Commands be obeyed, pray God direct all things for the best. There is privately come over divers Comman●●●s for Horse, and some supply of money, as appeared by a Months pay to the Souldery, but how from whom is not known, nor do the Soldiers make it their enquiry, suffices that they find it in their pockets, the Prince, whom the Cavaliers style Captain Stewart, Commands as brave a Troop as ever came into Field, and some two days before the remove to Beverley, exercised them a● the Head himself, and with a countenance & behaviour so full of reservedness and manhood, that (without flattery) it much amazed the beholders, and one might read their admiration in their looks. The Knights and Gentry of his Troop, presented him at his coming into the Field, and as he lest his Caroche, by him that had the right hand of the Troop, with a very goodly white Horse, trapped most richly to the ground with Velvet all studded with burning waves of Gold, and a rich Tent for that day's purpose, he put on a very curious guilt Armour, and strait way mounted his gallant Present, with general acclamations through the Field, for though his Troop completely consists but of Two Hundred Horse, yet there was to wa●●e upon him, an infinite number of young Spirits martially habited, and bravely horsed, and of all sorts at least 40000. who followed him to the Town with continual shouts. There had like to have been the next day, (though the occasion fell out that morn about some terme● of comparison) a dangerous falling out, between one Colonel Vavasor, (a very goodly Gentleman, and gracious with his Majesty,) and a Knight of the Prince's Troop, but his Majesty had timely notice of it, sent for them, and made a timely reconcilement, and that which gave another fair interpretation of his disposition, was concerning some Citizens or Tradesmen, who it seems compelled by distress of Trade, to leave London to see York, and having taken a Shop or two, the Townsmen not▪ only grudged their long being there, but one Evening sell upon them, threw their wares about the Street, and beat them saying, Those that drove the King from LONDON, should not drive him from YORK. This grew to such a strife, that the Lord Major told it to his Majesty, who was heard to say, The meanest Subject or Citizen was as dear to him in their true affection, as the greatest, and that no good Subject should want his protection. The Archbishop doth feast his Majesty very sumptuously, and keeps a little Court for the commanders and Soldiers, the Earl of Lindsey is to have Ships to stop all provision for Hull by Sea, and the mouth of Humber will be strongly guarded, the Earl of Newcastle is very strange in the City, and 'twas whispered that Mr. jermyn, the Lord Digby, the Lord Foredich, and some others were there privately, but there was no such thing, and those lying papers do but abuse men, indeed infect them, and reflects upon the justice of the times but certain it is, there is a great expectation, from beyond Sea, and strong working for it. Upon Tuesday morning by four of the clock, his Majesty received a Packet from London, and information of the Lord Major's commitment and the cause, and at Dinner was very merry in his discourse of it to the Lords, and they as free in delivering their opinions, and however he conceives it be seems to bear a great mastery and temper over all passages and debatements. Amongst other discourse it was told him of some Observations upon his Declarations, and the Book showed him by the Lord Keeper, with a very black Character both of it and the Author being named, a Lawyer of Grays-inn. In the Afternoon the Lords had a Consultation about him, and a Relation of one C. Babbam, for writing foolish and seditious Papers, and felling them to the Press to live by them, and there was a Message ordered from His Majesty to both Houses of PARLIAMENT for Commitment, if to be found, and punishment. Sir Francis Wortley and our new made Knight Duncombe, are designed a thousand Men, eight hundred Foot, and two hundred Horse, but whither they are to march or which way is not yet known, but it is possible towards Mr. Hastings who sent a private Packet to the King, who makes his party very strong, and is like to do much damage to Leiceste●shire. And the Lord Strange is as active in his way and puts Manchester to a muse, but yet they hold him to it. It is thought▪ there is a black cloud teeming in Kent, which may fall fatally if a North wind take it, the Soldiers talk lo●●ly as if the time were come they were to be made for ever, and the Parliament, had provided all the Plate, and money solely for them. That night the King came to Beverly about the shutting up of the day, there was sent in Fifty great Horses all of a dark Bay, handsomely set out with ash-coloured Ribbons, every man very gently accoutred, and armed, they were presented to His Majesty, but it is not known from whom certainly, but supposed from the Earl of Newcastle, by the bravery of their accoutrements. His Majesty next morning went to the great Church, heard Service and a Sermon, by one of the Arch bishops Chaplains, his text was Heb. 10.24. Let us consider one another, to provoke unto love and to good works, and held the balance of his text both equally and excellently, though peradventure the Cavaliers did not carry much of it home. Colonel Lunsford came the next day about two of the clock in the Afternoon to Beverley, had private speech for an hour with the King, and returned by Post immediately to the Earl of Rivers, who hath a Thousand men at command into the field, and gins great things as is said, and within an hour after another Post came from the Lord Strange, and returned presently with a Warrant, Signed for the putting out certain Justices that opposes or are cold to his Commands. As the King was Bowling, there was scattered a paper with Verses, very scandalous against Mr. PYM, and shown the King, who having read them, tore them in pieces, and with a sad look said, such libellous Rascals hath broke the peace of the Kingdom, and if justice did but lay hold of them, people's minds would be quickly calmed, he that showed them very likely looked for better thanks. The Lords here sit as close, as the Houses of Parliament do at London, let every good heart pray their consultations may meet in the Glory of God and this Kingdom. FINIS. LONDON. Printed by T.
