AN EXACT RELATION OF The barbarous Proceed, of the Rebels in WILT-SHERE.  
MAny are the Enemies of this Kingdom, who have continually been plotting and contriving mische 〈…〉 against this Real ●e; Yet hath it pleased God in the midst of all their treachery to frustrate their designs. And as they have been so do they still persist in their wicked and barbourous cruelties, as may plainly appear by this ensuing relation.  
On Sunday last, certain Soldiers by the appointment of the Honourable Committee of Parliament, with a Warrant under their hands, went to the Church of Angry-Fisherton, and demanding the Person of Kent then officiating with their Mass-book; where being assembled a great number of active Cavaliers, their present answer was given in a most outrageous manner with stones and Brickbats about the Soldier's ears; who by way of entreaty, desired that wretched rabble to keep their seats, and no hurt should in the least be done unto them; but they in an insulting manner would not desist.  
Whereupon the Soldiers being constrained for their own safety, drew their swords in their defence, hurting some of the most notorious active varlers, who being much more incensed the whole multitude in a most violent manner fell upon them, and iambling the bells to call more of that bloody minded crew, (who coming in an instant well Armed) they were constrained to retreat out of the Town.  
After this, the violent multitude of these wicked varlets, in a violent manner being still more greedy (as a Lion) of their prey, with cruel rage ran down to the House of their aged Minister, (who then performing those duties to God which he could not be Permitted to excercise in that Church, broke open his doors rushing in with drawn swords, most barborously, and in cruel manner wounding him, on the head in two or three several places to the terror of all honest people that were in and abou● that Town.  
They likewise struck down his wife & daughter most furiously ru●ing at on with their weapon who through God's great mercy escaped their cruel rage; then throwing the grave minister with his aged wife down the stairs they 〈…〉ed them out of doors possessing themselves of what he had: and making themselves merry with what they fou●d in his house.  
This was no sooner performed but they began to barricado both ends of the Parish very strongly with timber being provided with arms and Ammunition sufficient for so 〈◊〉 〈…〉 petent time to withstand a considerable party they being certain that they should have a sufficient supply to joy●● with them in this their design, (if occasion required) out of their neighbour City.  
A while after the Soldiers being gathered together, and drawing themselves up in a body▪ faced them in the field ●● a good space▪ and perceiving that they could not for the present draw them forth out of their strengths, they wheeled about and ma●ched home ward 〈◊〉 their way.  
No sooner was this performed by this rebellious tumult but still they proceeded forward in this their barbarous design, for certain of these murderous Rebbels seeing which way these Sould●ers retreated, crossing over some Meadows by a neere●●ath▪ ●ay in A 〈…〉 cadoe where they were to pass and in most bloody manner, furiously discharging upon 〈◊〉 they 〈◊〉 one of the Souldier● in his Leg▪ which much they departed bacl again peaceably to their own quarters.  
Thus have you this sad relation of these bloody minded Cannibals who most inhumanly gloryed in this their wicked design which I doubt not but will be repaid to some of them ●●●ustice at this next Assizes, to which and the Gallows I leave them, for example to their posterity that shall come after them.  
These things if they be not taken into consideration, are like to bring this Kingdom into a sad condition except some speedy course be taken for the timely preventing thereof; and that such Offenders may be brought to trial and punished according to their deserts.
