A Relation of the Victory obtained by Sr. Thomas Fairfax, general of the Parliaments Forces, over the Enemies Forces.  
THat God hath blessed our Army with admirable success: The business was thus, the Enemy quartered the Friday night at harbour. general Fairefax at Gilsborough, within 6 miles of the Enemy. On Saturday morning they drew out about six of the clock with a Party to give us battle. general Fairfax being very glad of the proffer, having long expected it: Whereupon the general drew off from his Quarters to Naisby, two miles on the way to the Enemy, and there put themselves into Battalia. The Enemy came on in very good Order to charge us, and had all the points of the wind for them, and their advantage: The general met them half the way; our right Wing of Horse was lead on by Crumwell, the left Wing by colonel Ireton, just then in the Field made Commissary general by Sir Thomas Fairfax.  
That about eleven of the clock on Saturday both Armies were engaged: little use was made of Ordnance on either side: being so soon brought to an engagement: our right Wing of Horse being Commanded by lieutenant general Crumwell, carried all the Field before him; just as they did at Marston-Moore. That our left Wing being Commanded by Ireton was a little shattered and gave ground: he carried himself well, and is extremely wounded.  
That the Enemy once was almost Master of our train; but within half an hour Gen. Fairfax's Forces was clearly Victors, and charged the Enemy both Horse and Foot through and through; and beat them quiter out of the Field before them.  
The general hath so broken the Enemies Foot, that he could not hear or see that they brought off a hundred.  
Their Horse after their first rout rallied again; general Fairefax advanced towards them, and charged them and routed them; and is now upon the chase, knocking them down, and taking them Prisoners, for at least five miles in the way towards Leicester; the Messenger was an eye witness of it.  
That the Enemy hath lost most of all their Carriages and Ordnance; he saw there two great Demi-Cannon, and divers other great Pieces before he came away: the particulars are not yet known.  
The valour that Sir Thomas Fairfax manifested just upon the charge, was a great encouragement to the Souldiers: his Spirit was so raised, that it was admired by all men. mayor general Skippon carried himself most gallantly, and is wounded.
