Remarkable Passages from York: Friday, July 8. 1642. Concerning the marching of horse and foot towards hull. And, the manner of that Counties appearance on Heworth Moor, on Thursday last before His majesty. With the Copy of a Warrant from the Right honourable the Earl of LINSEY, general of His majesty's Forces, To Sir Thomas Metham Knight, for the completing of His Regiments.  
ON Sunday last about three a clock in the morning, the Trumpet went about to call out the troop of horse here, which marched presently away towards Hull, which put us all in great fear, by reason of the suddenness of it, which we heard after was caused by the coming in of the Holland ship. The company of foot which attended the King's majesty, marched upon Monday and Tuesday, upon Wednesday the King went himself; all this week passage betwixt Hull and York is stopped and hindered: Two Proclamations was here published, one, that none should give any relief to Sir John Hotham▪ the other, that the King will pardon all the soldiers that will submit to Him, and give them a months pay in hand till he can otherwise employ them, and provide for them; there was also another, that none of the Magazines should be removed from the places where they are, but kept and employed by His majesty's Commissioners.  
Upon Thursday directions were given to the Gentlemen who appeared with their horses, to go to Heworth Moor, there to attend His majesty's pleasure, who about two a clock in the afternoon came thither; at their coming, His majesty commanded that the Gentlemen should divide themselves one way, and their men another way, that He might view them, which was done accordingly; but upon the view, those who appeared, and were not enrolled, were but a small number, not much above fourscore, whereupon it was suggested to the King, that not half of the County was summoned, and it was thereupon concluded that the Head-Constables should be called on to give an account of their service, and that there should be another Summons.  
From thence His majesty (accompanied with the Prince, the Duke, and the Prince elector) rid directly to Beverley, whither His carriage was gone before.  
There are nine Irish Rebels which were taken by the Scots, and brought to the King, gone from hence this day towards London, the King refers them to the Parliament, the high Sheriff was to take care for their safe bringing up.  
Also, on Monday last Sir Thomas Methams' Regiment was commanded suddenly to march, his company being to be made up of the Trained Bands, as appeareth by the ensuing Warrant from the Lord general, over some companies there are strangers placed Officers.  
BY virtue of a Warrant from the Right honourable, 
East Riding, Com. Ebor.  the Earl of Linsey, general of His majesty's forces for the completing of the Regiment of the Trained Bands now under my command; and for that you have neglected this service, in sending ignorant and untrained men, and sparing (without any command or direction) such as formerly have been trained, and served under me; These are therefore by virtue of the said Warrant, straightly in His majesty's Name to command you, that upon sight hereof, you Summon and bring all such persons that be able of body, as well private as common, formerly set in my Muster Rolls, now inhabiting and residing in your several Townships; And also all such as upon the Summons for this service, have either fled or absented themselves, and them with their Arms that are wanting in your several Constableries, personally upon the sight hereof to bring to me to Newland near Cottingham, where I am with my Regiment for His majesty's special service; as also, some of the ablest men of body in your Townships, to be in the places of divers impotent, lame, and unfit for service; And further to certify unto me the Names of all the private men charged with Arms within your several Constableries, which be either dead or removed, and without partiality or affection bring such as are fit for supply, And if any by you so summoned shall refuse to obey, that then you forthwith convey them to His majesty's Goal at the Castle of York, there to remain without Bail or Mainprise, till they be by due course of Law from thence delivered: Whereof fail you not at your utmost peril.
