The true Relation of the Entertainment of my Lord of Essex at Northampton.  
'tIs well known that my Lord of Essex his undertaking so pious an employment doth not a little joy the heart of every good affected Subject Christian, yea the whole Kingdom (bearing share of the benefit) may in like manner, or at least wife ought to be assistants in the same; Northamtonshire men not being ignorant of so great a benefit, having intelligence of my Lords coming thither with about the number of three hundred to meet his Excellency besides the Trained Bands, and divers of the Neighbouring people, many for very haste riding without Saddles, others for joy to be revenged on the Cavaliers (who had robbed and pillaged them of all their goods) brought presents for his Excellency, but my Lord refused them, saying, That what he intended was for the public good of the King, Kingdom, and Parliament, and the maintaining of God's true Religion, and not for any private benefit and gain of his own, or any that he expected, alleging that he was sorry that such occasion should be given by the Cavaliers, or any other illaffected persons, as must force him either to draw the Sword, or leave three whole Kingdoms to perish in a mutual blood; his Lordship being brought to the Town, gathered together his Forces, to see his own strength, which he found to amount (both Horse and Foot Volunteeres, and those that accompanied him from London) to the number of forty thousand and upward, to all whom he gave strict charge and command, not to be any way offensive in their carriage and behaviour towards any of the Neighbouring people; My Lord is allowed by the Honourable Houses of Parliament towards the maintaining of this his Army fifty hundred pound a day.  
On the Twelfth of September both the Honourable Houses of Parliament having intelligence how that His Majesty with all his Cavaliers were billeted at Chester, and had there endeavoured to fortify the City in a readiness to be against both the Honourable Houses of Parliament, and for the resistance of my Lord of Essex and all his Forces, the Cavaliers doing much hurt and spoil, to the terror and loss of that Country, therefore the Honourable Houses of Parliament sent unto his Excellency for to send some of his Forces thither to still the Cavaliers for the safety of the Country, which thing my Lord having intelligence of, went himself personally with most of his Armey, only leaving some for guard in such places as necessity did require it; Four Holland Ships are come over with great store of Ammunition and money for the service of the King and Parliament, the men that were in them did amount to five hundred, with five pieces of Ordnance and Armour for two thousand men, three hundred Muskets besides Pistols, Caleevers, Carbines, and Dragoones, with sixteen Barrels of Powder, who being landed, and having intelligence of my Lord of Essex his Intentions, marched unto him, yielding their Ammunition and money to his Lordship's disposing, and themselves unto his Lordship's protection, which being done, my Lord humbly thanked them, and took them to his tuition. There were certain intentions of the Cavaliers discovered by Captain Leg, who being taken in my Lord Brooks Regiment, upon condition of pardon did divulge all their Intentions, of which the chief were these particulars:  
First, that some of the Cavalers that were in Lecestershire dib intent to join with certain of Sommersershire Cavaliers (for there were private Letters sent to that purpose between them) for to go to certain neighbouring Villages, and to fire and burn the houses, which things he no sooner divulged but tha● my Lord Brooks sent some from his own forces to remain and lie in watch in such p●●ce● as were w●●ke of themselves, and such as he thought they might best attempt upon, and other of their exploits was to undermine certain places in Southern field, where they thought my Lord Brooks would have come with his forces, which being known by this Captain's relation, was avoided, for my Lord sent thither immediately to see the truth of the matter, and found all things as he had said; and in the said undermining; was found great store of powder laid under faggots and billets, and great wedges of Iron, all which my Lord caused to be carried away. Also Captain Leg, related how the Cavaliers kept certain balls in their pockets to fire houses and towns withal, and how that many of them went under the Command of Captain Calliford, (being a sea Commander) towards the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, thinking to lie inwaite to seize upon the money that the honourable house of Parliament pretended for the relief of the Irish Protestants, but notice thereof was presently sent to the Lord of Warwick for the prevention of the fame, who sent two or three of his smallest Vessels to scour those places, Another of their pretended projects for their obtaining of money, was to seize upon certain Cloathiers that did deal in those parts, bu● the said Clothirs being once before robed by those Cavaliers, came so well Armed against them, that at their first meeting, that the Caveleers were glad to fly, leaving 1. or 2. of their fellows to be slain in the encounter; news was brought from my Lord of Holland of the taking amongst the Caveleers a Jesuitical Priest.
