From Windsor. ABout some few dayes past there were some five Cavaliers that came into Windsor foreste to kill some of his Majesties dear, and having gained a fit stand, took the opportunity of the next approaching Ga●●e, which were two lovely Stagges, the Cavalier that was to shoot endeavoured so to place them in his eye, that he might sand a mortal wound to them both, and having shot like a good marks man, made good his determination, upon the discharge, the rest of the company came in with cheerful countenances to the fall of the dear, endeavouring with all celerity to carry these Stagges away without a discovery, but their care and industry could not prevent their ensuing danger, the Foresters having ●eard the report of the Piece hasted to the place from whence the sound came, where they found these Cavaliers busy about their stolen pleasures, the Foresters being all well armed martialled themselves in in such array as they might best encounter with these Cavaliers that had been the destruction of their game, no sooner had they observed the approaching danger, by way of Fortification each Gentleman placed his Horse before him as a bulwark to defend their Bodies, and having laid their Pieces upon their Horses, gave fire and sent a volley of shot amongst the Foresters, the sight was for a while very hot, yet with little loss of blood, but the continuance of it made the Cavaliers spend most of their shot and powder, one of them flying was pursued by a Forester, and forced to deliver his arms, the rest of the Gentlemen upon a fair treaty had liberty to depart, leaving behind them their Stagges. Much troubled were they at the consideration of their ill fortunes, and thereupon entred into a deep consultation how they might be revenged on the Foresters, having laid their Plot, their next thoughts were the putting of it in execution, in the first place they made inquiry for the Forester that had seized on the Gun, and being advertised that he was at a neighbouring Alehouse, they entred the house, seized on the Keeper, each man laying hold upon a part of him, insomuch as the miserable Keeper thought his limbs should be torn from his body, having haled him up and down, and putting him into a pitiful fright, they would not free him from the punishment they intended, till he had paid whatsoever expenses they should then be at, and return them their Gun with one of their Stagges, so much was the poor Forester tormented, that he willingly condescended to their desires after they had received their stag, and taken the benefit of his sees, they departed each man to his several habitation, where they feasted themselves with fat Venison, not long after one of the Cavaliers were taken and awarded to go to prison, but so well was he beloved of the Female sex, that thirty Amazonian spirits rescued the Prisoner, the conductors presently fled from the fury of these malignant spirits, the prisoner presently hasted to some place of safety, and though the sheriff of the same County was then present, and gave order to a Trained Band that was then in readiness to stay him, yet such was his nimbleness, that he passed through the several ranks of the Souldiers and escaped. Such was the activenes that the by-standers imagined he had long conversed amongst those wild creatures of the foreste, and that he was transformed into the nature of them. It were to be wished, that such Cavaliers as these that will not be kept within the compass of the Law might suddenly feel the scourge thereof, lest these extravagant courses makes others( that are better minded) follow their bad examples, and pillage houses. From Bath. THe Inhabitants of the city of Bath express their great griefs in that they have had little Company this Summer, they fear that their chief ●enefactours bends towards the North, and that could Climate makes them think the less of Bathing, for having had recourse to the waters of Knavesborough their heat is allayed, the poor Guides are now necessitated to guide one another from the Alehouse, least they should loose their practise, the Ladies that are there are fallen into a lethargy for want of stirring Cavaliers to keep them awake, were it not for these nymphs the waters would lose their virtue, Pluto's cauldron had never less purboyled flesh in it to please the palate of his Courtiers, the poor fiddlers are ready to hang themselves in their strings for a pastime, for want of other employments.
