News FROM YORK AND BEVERLEY.  
x: My kind love, &c.  
ACcording to your desire and my promise, I shall acquaint youwith such news as hath happened with us since last I writ to you.  
Then in brief thus.  
On Friday last, Sir John Goodrick Knight and Baronet, which was one of the Yorkshire Knights, that subscribed to give the King 250 horse, brought in his horse and men, being 36 in number, very bravely accoutred. Sir Francis Worthy, and the rest, have engaged themselves to bring in theirs on Friday next. This day a Troop of Horse, under the command of captain Butler, marched from hence ●owards Newcastle (as it is reported) to guard the town; and this day likewise two Regiments of Foot, of the Trained Bands of Yorkshire, show under the command of colonel Lunsford, the other under the command of colonel Fieldiug, marched towards Hull. Doctor Bastwick, and three other captains, are taken prisoners by Mr. Hastings and his Confederates, and they are expected to be brought to York. The late Bishop of Lincoln, now Archbishop of York, last Sunday preached at the great Church in York, his Text was the words of our Saviour in Luke, unless your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharifies, ye shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven. How a man of his faction might apply that Text, I leave to you, or any reasonable man to imagine.  
Yet among other passages of his Sermon, he took occasion to speak of Jonas who being in the Ship, was cause of the storm in the Sea, neither could it be allayed till he was thrown into the Sea, whereupon he said that he was not so uncharitable to the disturbers of the peace of Israel. Those that have raised this storm of descension in the land to be thrown into the Sea, but he wished with all his heart they were thrown beyond the Sea, and besides he thought his wishes met with many of their desires, for he thought most of them had a mind to be beyond Sea. The King is returned from the Southern parts to Beverley.  
It is reported by those who went with him, that hath he gained the affections of the people where he hath lately been: those that have seen him since his return, report him very merry, for they say he wants no money, and on my own knowledge I never here the soldiers complain for want of pay▪  
Here come in daily men, money and provision, and Arms from all parts of this kingdom to the King: the drums strike up all the day long here for volunteers upon the promise of large pay. Here is with us a Dutchman who works in casting Mortar pieces, and making fireworks, a very experienced man he is, and doth rare exploits, here is come from Cambridge 10000 l to the King in money and plate. Besides, all the Lords that are here, are there in favour with the King, many others (whom I mean) you may suspect. For any thing I can yet hear, there is nothing but a preparation for a civil war. Beckstith the great Recusant was this last week, by a Bullet shot from the town of Hull, (He lyinst againg the Town with the Cavaliers) shot through the arm.  
Here is to be a muster of all the King's forces, Horse and foot to morrow, and at night the Dutchman is to show some fireworks before the King, I might belie you as many do I know, yet take this on my word, the King is very strong here, (God grant all prove well) the Lord of Canaruan in the Prince's absence, commands the Troop, which I must needs confess is a brave one, which consists most of Gentlemen: and besides the service they do themselves. They among them, have set forth a Troop of Horse, which is under the command of my Lord Rich. What the event of these things will be, time must produce. My Lord of Lincoln feasts the Cavaliers nobly, they are much engaged to his Honour, and he has as brave a spirit in this exploit as the best of them. Hull is very strongly besieged, and forces do daily thither resort, yet Sir John Hotham behaves himself bravely, and we are all indebted to him, ye freeholders here are led away with the Gentry of this Country, who stand stiff for the King: Sir Michael Warton Knight, hath lent the King 20000 l, and other Yorkshire Gentlemen do proffer much.  
This is all for the present▪ Farwell. H M.
