A Great Overthrow given to Sir Ralph Hopton's: whole Army, by Sir William Waller, etc.  
ON Tuesday last, being the 28th. of November, one thousand six hundred forty three, Sir William Waller having stated his Army in several Quarters, to prevent the passage of Sir Ralph Hopton into Surry and Kent, which he hath much laboured for ever since he came to those parts; Sir Ralph Hopton marched with the whole body of his Army towards Farnham, where Sir William Waller then was, having only six troops of his Horse then present with him, besides the Foot, the rest were quartered at other places; but Sir William Waller having a watchful eye about him, had some Scouts which first discovered this great Army of the Cavaliers marching towards him, the which caused Sir William Waller to address himself to fight, and accordingly ordered the station of his Army. Sir William let the Cavaliers march up very close to him before he would take notice that he had descried them, and then let fly a piece of Ordnance against them, which did good execution, and after that another; the Cavaliers let not many bullets fly against our Army before they began to retreat, and as they retreated, Sir William Waller marched upon them; but through the loss of many men in few hours the Cavaliers began to retreat in great disorder, so long that Sir William Waller marched up to their dead Corpse, where many horse lay dead, and the Riders by their countenance and habit seemed to be of worth; but by this time, which was about two of the clock in the after noon the Cavaliers began to fly, some one way, some another, but the greatest part of them towards Basin; Sir William Waller having no more but six troops to pursue them, which did notwithstanding follow on as full of valour and tourage as ever; and the service which his horse did in the pursuit of them was most wonderful, and the Fight most desperate, yet did nothing daunt their resolutions; Sir William pursued them five miles, and is still in the pursuit of them. Sir William Waller hath slain in this fight many hundreds of the Cavaliers, amongst which it is thought there are many Commanders; and by the Prisoners that Sir William Waller hath taken; It is reputed that they saw Sir Ralph Hopton carried away as if he had been dangerously wounded: there is but one man yet missing in our Army, and very few hurt. Sir William Waller is still in Pursuit of them, and is resolved with his whole Army not to leave them, although they be already routed, but follows the Execution against them so close, that he will not permit them (if it be possible) any time to gather to an Head again in any place.  
News being come by a Letter from Sir William Waller to the Speaker of the House of Commons on Wednesday the 29 of November 1643. the Parliament then being at St. Margaret's Westminster hearing Master Bridges to preach the Fast Sermon in the afternoon; which Letter certifying that Sir William Waller had routed Sir Ralph Hopton, and given him so great an Overthrow with so small a strength, there was great rejoicing; and after the Sermon was done, the House of Commons went to the Parliament House, and there sat very late.  
One thing very remarkable is this; That as Master Bridges was preaching unto them this Doctrine. viz. Though God do suffer the Enemies of his Church to be Great and exceeding many, yet God will raise up a Power to withstand and Overpower them. Even at that very instant this Message came in a Letter from Sir William Waller to the Speaker, as if God was pleased to send our Senators a sign from Heaven of the certainty of the fullfilling of his promises.
