A true Relation of the proceed in the North, betwixt Major General Lambert, and Sir Marmaduke Langdale, by one that was with Major Gen Lambert at Perith in Cumberland, and the taking of Appleby Castle.  
SIr Marmaduke Langdale about June 15. came into the Borders of Yorkshire, about 6. miles off on this side Bowes, but Major Gen. Lambert drawing near to him, he retreated back 12. miles, Major Gen. Lambert followed him, and he drew back in policy to a bridge between Bows and Cattrick to engage the enemy, which they perceiving, pursued at a distance, but only some small skirmish between their Scouts, where he met with Col. Harrison, who Commanded the horse that went out of the South, who being joined together, faced about towards the Enemy, and so soon as the Enemy perseived it he fled back so fast as he could, Major Gen. LAMBERT still pursuing him till he came to Carlisle, where he drew up his Army before the Town, june the 13. hoping to engage the enemy, but they were utterly unwilling to engage, not somuch as aparty of Horse to Skirmish, only some few Horse that lay under the walls, under the Command of our Musketers but durst not come forth or make any saly forth out of the Town, He lay there one night but finding the Country so bare, and impoverished by Langdale, & his Army he could not have provision for his men, and so retreated to perith where he stayed till the Lancashire forces being 2000 besides the party that was before Appleby Castle, which was surrendered to Colonel Harrison) last Saturday being the 17. of June at 12 a Clock, came up to him, which Surrender was upon condition to march where they would, leaving their Arms and all behind them; but they were resolved to go home and be quiet. And so soon as they were joined, it is conceived they would march for Carlisle, either to engage them to fight, or to besiege the town. And certain it is, that the enemy were forced to set a guard of horse upon their foot at a Bridges, to keep their foot from running away, they being most of them Array men. And they are much straitened for provision; for a penny loaf is sold for three pence in Carlisle, as is certified by good hands.  
Major General Lambert hath a very gallant Army, and is in number betwixt eight or nine Thousand able fight men, which in short time will give a good account of their faithful Service.

So desiring to be excused for the bejefnesse of my writing, which is by occasion of the Messengers hast, I remain
