Exceeding true & joyful News FROM Windsor Castle.  
Declaring how several Troops of Dr●gooners have taken possession of the said Castle, for the King and Parliament.  
THe King's Majesty having altered his intention of staying at Shrewsbury (as is conceived by the Persuasion of that Cavalero rout, which have destined all to ruin and destruction) hath lately bend his course toward London, being persuaded that here he shall have more ●id and assistance, (as is pretended) than he hath yet obtained, this pretence of theirs hath drawn his Majesty into this course, although it is apparently manifest that they march up to London with an intent to plunder it, and bring all to ruin and destruction, that stand well affected to the King and Parliament.  
For the perfecting of which practice, they intended to draw to Windsor, and to take Possession of the Castle, that being a place of greatest strength in this part of the Kingdom, by reason of the height and strength, the Country lying under it, so that the Castle can command it round about.  
Can they have obtained this Castle, they would there have fortified themselves, till such time as they could have gathered strength, which having obtained, they then intended (as is generally thought) to have marched against London that being their only aim, but God which sees the secrets of all hearts hath brought their practices to light & made them apparent to the eye of the world, their intentions were discovered to the high Court of Parliament, who by God's assistance and direction have taken the most speedy and effectual course to prevent so great a mischief.  
For by the appointment of the Parliament, several well affected Gentlemen and valiant Religious Commanders are gone into Essex, Midlesex, Buckingham-shire, Berkshire, Surrey, Hamp-shire, and other adjoining Counties, to raise several Troops of Dragooners and Volunteers, some of which are arrived already at Windsor, and have taken possession of the Castle, for the use of his Majesty and Parliament, others are in their march towards Windsor, where being arrived, they intent to fortify themselves, and to make outworks, so that the Cavaliers have lost their labour.  
The Countries are very ready to go in this service, and stand generally for the Parliament, because they see that the Cavaliers plunder all the places they came at, taking and seizing Horse and all things which are portable, and if any one resist, they presently burn their Houses, to the utter ruin and destruction of all those that have dependence thereon.  
The Cavaliers in their march toward London visited Coventry a second time, but the City withstood them valiantly, and by the assistance of the Country routed their whole Army, so that they were forced to retreat disorderly, and every one make shift for himself.  
The Country makes head against them as they march, being forced to guard their Towns, which if they should neglect, the Cavaliers would plunder.  
They pay for nothing, but live all upon pillaging and thieving, therefore it is our best course not to trust to their mercy, for whosoever tries them, shall find them like so many Judasses', and the poor Protestants shall be handled by them like so many Publicans among thiefs, if ever they should get the uper hand, or gain power to perfect their bloody designs.  
But God be thanked all their plots have been brought to light, for he hath confounded them in the performance of all their secret Designs.  

A true Declaration of the particular causes of the Earl of Warwick's coming to London.  
THe Earl of Warwick having received a command from the High Court of Parliament, intimating unto him, that it was their desire that he should resign his charge (during his absence) to his Vics-Admirall, and immediately repair to London, which message being received by the said Earl, he with all speed settled his affairs, and on Tuesday the 18. of this present October he arrived in London, whose welcome presence made ore-ioyed the hearts of his beholders the occasion of his coming to town as is generally conceived is to raise men in Kent and Essex, his Lordship being so highly beloved in those parts, that he can raise more men for the defence of the King and Parliament, than any other Nobleman in the whole Kingdom.  
On Wednesday the 19ht. day of this month, the Major of Worcester was brought to London, with a Wagon laden with Plate, which was taken from the malignants of that County.
