THE PARLIAMENTS LAST Order and Determinaiion concerning the safety and security of Hull. foreign Countries hath of late months rejoiced at the Distractions of this kingdom, and the desires of them hath been for the ill success of Sir John Hotham: but now it is most Remarkable to observe how the Town of Hull hath from time to time been preservedâ–ª since their hath been so many attempts made against the security thereof. Which the Parliament taking into their consideration, Upon Friday last, being the 23. of this instant month of July, the House of Commons taking into consideration the strength and power of the malignant Party, by whose ill Suggestions and councils, these Differences in the Common-wealth, between his Majesty and his Parliament have been bread, and fomented, and also took further into consideration, the present and urgent necessity of the kingdom. And upon a Message there was a Conference, where after some debate of the business, it was presently concluded. That 1000. men more should forthwith be sent to Hull, and that present pay should forthwith be advanced to the Officers, who should be appointed for that Service. And they further that day concluded, for all other needful provision to bee sent, which should concur to the security therof. The same day likewise sate the Commiteee for the safety of the kingdom, where they concluded of Officers that were to have Command of those Forces which were to go for Hull. The Earl of Lindsey understanding that Sir John Hotham had let in the waters three miles round about Hull, for the preservation of the said town, and now perceiving that all attempts against the said town would be frustrate and to no purpose, began to make use of his policy, and to countermand policy with policy, and drew along with him great store of provision for war to Barton upon Humber, where having settled himself for a season, and having taken a view of the most advantageous place for his best advantage, he mounted four or five pieces of Ordinance in that manner, that by that means he did hinder all means of passage that way to Hull. And also commanded the whole River, so that no vessel could pass by that Road to bring in any provision to the town; but either they must pass the hazard of those great pieces, or else they must be constrained to go about some other way. On Saturday last, it pleased Almighty God to give a show unto us of our reviving hopes, in that we did behold some of those blood-thirsty Persecutors, taken and delivered up into the hands of Iustice. For after their cruel persecution, when they had sucked their skill of Protestant blood, some of them were taken to their own Confusion. This is the manner and means of their apprehension. They were gathered together in a great multitude about the City of Dublin, and in this their mutinous progress were intended to sire all the small and scattering Houses about the City, supposing that they might by that means surprise and invade the whole City. Notice whereof was given to the forces within the City, which lay in a readiness, always expecting an occasion for their service. And now when they saw their opportunity, they issued forth of the City in a full Body, and gave them an Encounter which was so fierce, that the Rebels could not endure the heat of the combat, and amongst the slaughtered bodies these nine persons were taken Prisoners, which for a while were kept in custody, but of late were sent over to be adjudged and determined of by the Houses of Parliament, and on Saturday last, were brought to London, and are at this time prisoners in New-Gate. Propisitions for Peace.
