The Manner how the Prisoners are brought to LONDON, this present Saturday, the 21. of June 1645.  
THere were sent up by colonel Fines from Sir Thomas fairfax 4500. prisooners, whereof some being got away, as amongst so many it cannot but bee expected, and besides that there were some of the chiefest not sent up, but disposed of else-where, those will not be here spoken of at all.  
On Thursday Night colonel Fines came with his Prisoners to Saint Albones, and that night they were put in a Church in that town, where they pulled down the pews, and did much hurt there, as men set upon mischief, as indeed all the brood of them are, most desperately given to wickedness, there they quartered that night.  
on Friday they set forth from S. Albones, came to Barnet: from whence they are to march to London this day.  

The manner of their march is to be thus.  
They march from Barnet with colonel Fines, the suffolk horse, and the Hartfordshire Trained Bands to guard them marching in several divisions, as may be safest for the security of the charge, to bring the Prisoners safe to London, though indeed they have been untuly.  
The green and yellow Regiments of the City are appointed to meet them, to guard them through the City, and the night following, the yellow Regiment is Colonel Harrisons, and the green Regiment is Colonel Roes.  
This Saturday morning the yellow Regiment of Col. Harrisons are to draw up in Aldersgate street, which is the place appointed for their Randezvouze.  
The green Regiment of Colonel Roes are to be drawn up in Redcrosse-street, the place of their Rande●-vouses.  
From thence these 2 Regiments are to march to Islington, to meet the Prisoners, at the further end of Islington: they are to meet, about noon is supposed will be the time they meet them.   

The manner of their meeting at the further end of Islington is appoynted thus.  
Collenel row and colonel green meeting colonel Fi●●s at the place aforesaid, they are to receive the Prisoners, and come along with colonel Fines to guard them into the city.  
Having received the Prisoners they call for the colours, so many as are sent up, which are 55( for the other 30 for there are 80 and odd in all( but no more but 55 come as yet.  
These 55 colours are to be carried before the Prisoners through Islington, and the City and so on till they have lodged the Prisoners.  
Here followeth a list of the Colours, with the figures of the several scutcheons and their mottoes, so many of them as had mottoes.
