monday, August 22.  
THE Cavaliers having removed their Ordnance to Whitley House, shewed themselves round about the City, some in one place, and some in another, but durst not come within musket shot; in the afternoon some Musqueteeres sallied out, and killed both men and horse, and took both men and their horses, and brought them into the City, the enemy durst not plant their Ordnance against us, nor abide an encounter when our Souldiers sallied out ▪ but still fled away; The Cavalieres are turned Drovers and Merchants of all manner of household goods and Victuals, driving away all our Cattle & Horses, and plundering the houses in all the towns about us: The Lord in mercy deliver us from these enemies.  
On Tuesday morning the two Armies met early in Southern Field, where the earl of Norhampton had planted two pieces of Ordnance with the best advantage he could, my Lord brook marching towards him, made a stand with his Ordnance on the brow of an hill, which being suddenly prepared to shoot, presently played on the enemy, at which discharge some Horses sell, then the earl discharged one piece, which mounted over the Army, but hurt no man, and after shot thrice more, but slay not one of my Lord brooks, the Lord brooks Ordnance discharged five times, with great success every shot, which so discomforted the enemy, that they retreated, which was supposed to bee done in policy, to draw on the Army that they might discharge some other Ordnance they had planted in some other place, but it proved not so, for the earls Army wheeled about, and gave ground, which was done that they might gather up the slain, for presently after they fled away; but captain Leg having the guidance of the foot, fell strangely into a wing of the Lord brooks Horse, and was presently seized on as an ordinary Trooper, but the sergeant mayor general casting his eye on him, knew him, and so rid to him, and clapping him on the shoulder,  told him he should have good quarter that night; God damn me, said he, I am mistaken, thinking he had been amongst the Princes troops.  
The earls Army fled away, which was thirteen Cornets of Horse, but his foot but few: It is discovered since by the dead which were on heaps in the Corn-fields, and others that were carried away, by the Relation of some troops afterwards taken, that there were slain, and mortally wounded 60. men at least.  
On Wednesday the Lord brooks gave Warrants to the Troopers to search the Lord Dunsm●res house for arms, money, and Plate, who brought all that could be found, at which time, and since, there hath been great slaughter made of his Deere by the Troopers and Coventry Soldiers, who have killed near two hundred Deere, divers Cavaliers and Troopers of the enemy are daily brought in. captain Leg went hence towards the Parliament, with a strong guard, about eleven of the Clock in the night: News is come out of Staffordshire, that some Gentlemen have possessed Dudley Castle, and there is many Collyers and Naylers are come in to them, and day and night they beat their Drums, and shoot off their muskets, to the great terror of the country; They have taken some Iron-workes of Master follies, where it is said they are casting of Ordnance, and making Iron Bullets: And it is said there are 400. welshmen coming near to Buckingham, the Cavaliers have plundered Tamworth, and the malignants there would have the Cavileres to cut the throats of the Roundheads, which hath caused most of the honest men of the town to come out.  
On Tuesday, so soon as the earl of Northampton had drawn out his Companies out of Warwick, Sir Edward Peto sent 100. men out of the Castle, who ranshaked the town for arms, and found hide and brought into the Castle, Arms to furnish 500. men. The Army will speedily remove, but yet not known whither. The Kings Forces are some come to Leicester, and more are daily coming from Nottingham: The earl of Northampton, and cavaliers say they will bee revenged on Coventry for the sharp repulse they had there.   

From Oxford.  
monday the 29. some 200. Cavaleres, under the command of Sir John byron, having a desire to plunder the County, were disgracefully beaten about Brachly, some seven of them slain, and above 40. taken prisoners by the Country people, the rest were fain to fly to Oxford, wherein some colleges as we hear they are ententained and welcomed; this hath put the university in a great fright, having too many malignants and ill wishers to the Parliament in it, but it is hoped by this time colonel Hampdens forces are come thither; the Country would soon join with the Parliament to be rid of such guests; Our prayers are daily to unite the King and Parliament, and God sand a happy peace.
