A great and glorious VJCTORY Obtained By the English against the French, upon the Coast of Calais; with the dispiersing of the Royal Navy belonging to King Lewis, the taking of the Newfoundland Fleet; and the chase of the King of Scots Vice-Admiral, and his Men of War, unto the Fort Royal.  
With the manner how Captain Foster in the Phoenix, Cap. Benjamin in the Pearl frigate, and Cap. George Grocknel in the Merlin, bore up to them within Canon shot of the castle; and the event and success thereof.  
Likewise, the particulars of a great and lamentable Engagement in Scotland, the number of men killed and taken on both sides; and the taking of the field again by both ARMIES.  
Imprinted at London for G. Wharton, 1654.   

Two great and desperate Engagements, both by Sea and Land: the first between the English frigates, commanded by Cap. Foster Cap. Benjamin, and Ca George Cracknel, and the K. of Scots men of War, commanded by Vice-admiral Bannister. etc.  
ON the 8 of this instant July, 1654. divers of the English Frigates having been upon the Coast of Dunkirk, to convoy a fleet of Merchantmen; upon their return towards the Narrow, they espied the King of Scots fleet, unto whom they gave chase; and at last comwithin shot, saluted them with several broad sides; Vice-admiral Bannister being in the Eagle, answered them again; but after a sharp dispute, finding the Arguments too high to dispense withal from the mouth of the English Canon, he tacked about, for Calis, and got under the command of the Royal Fort, where he presently hung forth a Flag of defiance; which Captain Benjamin Sa●heverel perceiving, attempted with the Eagle to strand him; but the great Canon from the Fort and Blockhouses played so hast upon him, that he was constrained to come off by the Leeward, his design proving unfeasible. However upon their putting forth to the main Ocean, they espied another fleet, which proved Frenchmen, and after 4 or 5 leagues chase, sank one, and took another, without the loss of one man. We have also taken their Newfound land fleet, and divers ships coming from Malaga, which adds far more Triumphant Victories, when we fought the Royal Navy took their Admiral, and divers others, and totally dissipated the whole Fleet; which heroic Atchieument, deserves to be eternised, with these Lines, in Letters of Gold.  

TAke wing my Muse & mount the airy sky,  
View winged Bullets how they strangely fly  
See how the swimming Castles march, they sail,  
As if their Timber, ah! would never fail.  
See! how the glorious Lamp doth gaze to see  
Cerulian Waves made, ah! a purple Sea;  
Hark! how the warlike Trumpets call to fight,  
And view the Monsieurs ship about, as light  
As fancy sees them, BEN: doth bravely stand,  
Upon the Poop discreetly gives command:  
Ben: Follows with the Pearl, Foster is  
Adding to's Canvas, each brave ship don't miss,  
To blow the liquid Ocean, which doth swell,  
Looks big: yet English spirits ne'er could sell  
To entertain base fear; the other run  
As if they would set with the supping sun.  
Ah! ah! immortal French are feared by Death,  
The winds now give their scanted Canvas breath.  
Ply after English hearts, and fetch from home  
The haughty French. Let trembling Christendom  
Hear of your Valours, were I Lucanized,  
My Pen this Victory had highly prized,  
And made as famous as the Roman wars,  
But I cannot by inauspicious stars.  
Though in the fight, we saw God's mighty hand,  
And find he's great, both on the Sea and Land.    

A Relation of the Fight in Scotland.  

SIR,  
COl Brayn with a considerable party is come into the North; ●ed divers o●her Regiments are expected, Since which time, we hear from the Camp that Colonel Morgan had sight of Drummond, Montross, Dephop, and the Lord Ervin, who had raised 2000 Levies; but upon his advance, and Major Knight, with 400 horse, and 200 foot, they courageously faeced about, and put the English to the Run, by our pursuing of them. We killed one Cap. Good●ellow (an English man) and some others, took ten prisoners, and 60 horse, with abundance of Cloakbags, meat dressed and undressed, many Cows, and other provisions, And since that we sent 40 nakad men to swim over with their swords, to an Island that stood out against them, which they took, and some store of provisions laid in for Middleton, with some plate, and other rich goods. The Marq. of Argyle has raised all from 16 to 60 throughout his Territories, and is resolved to sight either to Death or Victory against the Tories.  
St. johnston's July 6. 1654.  
From Scotland further thus: The Ministers still preach up young Charles their King, and pray for him as God's Vice gerent on earth. Their forces are endeavouring a conjunction, and the North Country are generally disaffected, murdering the English privately; but a party coming from Air, commanded by Quartermaster Stevenson, being pursued by a strong party of the enemy, faced about, drew up and engaged them; and after a very sharp and desperate dispute, took one Captain, a Cornet, and 11 others, killed one Capt. Armstrong, divers others, and wounded many; but this Atchieument was not obtained without some blood, noses, and broken pates; for one of our men was cut in the head, another had his nose slit, and some others were let blood in their arms, and other places.   

But that which appears more dreadful unto us, is, the enemies falling upon the aforesaid Col. Bryan's men, the manner thus: A party of 120 men being drawn out to get off boats from the enemy; they being too eager of their prey, and withal careless, and not keeping together, nor observing command, Sir George Monro lying in Ambuscado, fell upon them, and kiled fourscore gallant men, where of some Officers, & quite frustrated us of our design. Yet other Letters say to the contrary, and that the English hath given the Scots a defeat. The truth whereof seems too dubious at present, by reason, that the enemy are numerous, and have the disadvantage amongst the Hills, the Wether being so extreme cold, that we are scarce able to endure the field; besides, we have a perfect Winter in this cold Angle of the World, having not any thing but nipping Frosts, and tempestuous storms, so that we are exposed to abundance of danger and difficulties, and involved in a Labyrinth of troubles; but We doubt not, but that Hand of Providence which hath hitherto preserved Us, will in the greatest of our straits, still preserve & protect Us, and in the end crown us with those trpumphant signals, whereby God may be glorified, the Truth maintained, and the just Laws and Liberties of the people inviolably kept and preserved.    
FINIS.
