Exceeding True and Joyful News from the Lord SAY.  
THE proceed of the Cavaliers at Westchester and divers other adjoining Counties hath been very cruel and inhuman, committing divers outrages there, as they have done formerly in other Countries where they have taken their progress in a most barbarous manner, and the Inhabitants and Trained Band of those Countries seeing them more and more to persist in their inhuman actions, they resolved amongst themselves to have a general meeting, and to conclude of those particulars that should be for the safety and security of their lives and live, and at their meeting they concluded of these particulars: 1. That all those that were able to bear Arms, should be forthwith summoned in. 2. That they should be daily exercised and trained up. 3. That they and every one of them should forthwith ●●pear on the 19 of this month at Chester Heath, 5. miles from the City of Westchester, which was accordingly put in execution, and upon the 20 of this month the Cavaliers having information of their intentions, assembled together, and came with all spe●d to the s●●d Heath, where the Trained B●●d of Ch●shire, and divers Volunteers 〈◊〉 of Lancashire were practising and pu●●ing of themselves in a posture of war but at the fir●● approaching o● the Cavaliers, the Parliament Forces, (being the Trained Band) met them about half a mile from the Heath, and at the first salutation slew ten of the Cavaliers, where there did ensue a great Battle betwixt them, both sides striving for the victory, behaving of themselves very stoutly and courageously, but at the last the Welshmen and Cavaliers began to grow weary, and would gladly have gone to the Mountains, but they could not, for the Parliaments Forces pursued them so close, that they threw down their Arms, and creed out for quarter, but there was many of them slain in this Battle, and some chief Commanders taken prisoners divers of them being lately come from Ireland.  
Thus hath the Parliaments party obtained the day, and won the victory over the Welsh Cavaliers, which I believe divers of their Country men will take warning by them, and learn how to keep within their own bounds and liberties.   

Another Famous Battle obtained by the Lord Say, Colonel Hampden, and Colonel Goodwin, together with his two sons, over the Cavavaleers in Worcestershire.  
Upon the the 20. of this Month, the Lord Say and the rest had information that the Cavaliers were come to Worcester, and that they were resolved to plunder the Town, (but praised be God they was prevented) for no sooner had the Lord Say received intelligence thereof, but he immediately advanced his Forces towards them, and coming near the City, the Cavaliers came and met us, whereupon the Lord Say demanded their intentions, they replying, that as they had taken possession of the City, so would they keep it; whereupon Colonel Hampden drew out 200. men and charged them on the Rear and the left Flank, and having played against them for the space of two hours, the Cavaliers sounded a Retreat, but the Parliaments Forces and Volunteers being much incensed against them, would not hearken thereto, but still with their constant resolution they continued in Fight, insomuch that there was a great slaughter amongst the Cavaliers and those that could get away, hide themselves for the present.  
Upon the 19 of this present month tidings was brought to the Earl of Warwick being 3. leagues from the Downs that divers Ships lay hover near thereto, and that they do make divers sallies towards the French coast, and it was supposed, that Sir John Pennington was in the said Fleet, whereupon the Earl of Warwick sent out 7. fair Ships to scour those parts, and upon the 20. of this month they hoist sail and took their coast toward Calais, where having sallied two leagues from the Earl of Warwick's Fleet, they espied a company of Ships hover up and down, and made towards them, who coming near unto them, they set a warning piece to know what they were, and for what parts they were bound, but they would not make answer, neither would they make their obeisance to His Majesty's Ships; whereupon the Earl of Warwick commanded the Gu●ner to let fly another piece of Ordnance, and Sir John Pennrngton let fly at them again, insomuch that they began to charge one another very furiously, than the Earls Ships began a broad side to them, which soon made entrance into the enemy's ships, so that after two or three hours' fight, they were glad to betake themselves to flight, but the Earls Ships purchased them, and sunk two or three of them. The said Earl hath declared, that he will assist both his Majesty and the Parliament against those Forces that are now gathered together in this Kingdom to hinder the peace of the same of the same.
