THE LAST TRUE INTELLIGENCE FROM WARWICK: BEING A true Relation of the death of the earl of Lindsey, Lord general of the Kings Forces, who was taken Prisoner in the late battle, and carried to Warwick Castle. Also a true Relation of all the present proceedings in Yorkshire, between the Lord Fairfax, and the earl of Cumberland.  
AFter the late battle near Banbury, between his Excellence the earl of Essex, and the Kings Forces, wherein many were slain on both sides, and divers eminent men of the Kings Party taken prisoners, as the Earl of Lindsey Lord chief general of His Majesties Forces, the Lord Willoughby of Eresby his son, Sir edmond straddling, colonel Vavasor, colonel Lunsford, and divers more, his Excellency remaining Master of the field, marched with his Forces to Warwick, and is come safe thither, and hath laid his prisoners in the Castle, but the earl of Lindsey, who was sorely wounded when he was taken prisoner, in the said battle, is since dead.  
There was a Priests lately taken at Clarkenwell, who had a Letter found about him full of treachery against the King and Parliament, wherein are discovered their policy used for the subversion of the Protestant Religion, the substance of it was to this effect: That none but the Kings enemies are chosen of the Parliament: and that the Parliament avows, that they will begin with the least, and will not give over till they have extirpated him and his posterity. On the other side, the sincere parties that are to be admired for their indefatigable industry, incessantly foment revenge and jealousy in most of the Parliament-men, especially they work upon the pride and vain-glory of such as have been imprisoned, possessing them, that they are the only martyrs & Worthies of the countreys. London is as much distempered as Florence; for the Companies are at odds, and the Common council have opposed their Magistrates against the old custom, which hath bread a great deal of heart-burning in the city, so that twice a day we can divulge what we list in Pauls, and upon the Exchange, you shall see the same sword that hath wounded us, being drawn upon the same wound with an oil that we have, shal make us whole. And this shal be done in Parliament, in charming the wisest and temperatest: with the violent sort we take a strange course, by working upon their passions, and inebriating their fancies with probabilities and presidents, that favourites may wrestle with Parliaments for a time, but at last a Parliament will overthrow their backs: we encourage them with all the wits we have, to fall upon some great persons near Ais Majesty, and persuade them that now is the time or never, the King being in such necessity, insomuch that we assure ourselves, God hath forsaken and infatuated them, that they shall not only strike against the same rock, but sink and ra●e in the bottom of the sea of destruction.  
We have now many strings to our bow, and have strongly fortified our faction, and we have added two bulwarks more. For when K. JAMES was very violent against arminianism, and interrupted with his pestilent wit and deep learning our strong designs in Holland, and was a great friend to that old rebellious heretic the Prince of Orange; now we have planted the sovereign drug of arminianism, which we hope will purge the Protestants from their heresy, and will flourish and bear fruit in due season.  
The foundation to build up the bulwark must be mutation; our mutation will cause reluctation, which will serve for as many violent diseases as the ston, the gout, blanch, speedy destruction, or perpetual insufferable anguish of the body, which is worse then death itself.  
There are other matters in hand of consequence which we take to consideration & tender care, which is the state of the Puritans, for they are impudent subtle people.  
But to return again to our main fabric: In the first place we take into consideration the Kings honour & present necessity, and we show how the King may free himself from his wardship as Lewis the 〈◇〉 did, and for his great splendour and lustre, he may raise vast sums, and not be beholden to his subiects, which is by way of imposition and Excise: we instance the Low Countreyes, and show what a mass of money they raise to pay their armies both by sea and land merely out of Excise.  
Then our Church catholics proceed to show the means how to settle this Excise which must be by an Army of horse and foot; for we have made it sure: they shall be foreigners, and Germans, who will eat up the Kings revenues, and spoil the countreys wheresoever they come, though they be well paid; what havoc will they make then when they have no pay. If the country be too hard for the souldiers, they must consequently outrage, which is equally advantageous to us.  
There are three troops of horse gone out of lincoln shire into Yorkshire for the aid of the Lord Fairfax and captain Hotham, against the earl of Cumberland and his Cavaliers: captain Hotham hath made good Cawood Castle and Selby, and is now to join his Forces with the Lord Fairfax, who hath raifed great store of men for the defence of the King & Parliament. There is a Lieutenant colonel and a sergeant mayor of the Kings Party taken in Buckinghamshire, and brought up to the Parliament, and committed to safe custody.
