A diurnal and particular OF The last Weekes daily Occurrents from his majesty, in several Places.  
From july the 16. to this present. 1642  
THE King lying two dayes at lincoln, at one Mr. Charles Dallisons a counselor of grays-inn, and Recorder of the town, whom his Majesty left Sir CHARLES, there came in on the country at least 30. Thousand, whose behaviour and joy( considering what was thought before) showed how much the presence of a Prince doth win and satisfy a peoples disposition; Here he left the Commission of Array at a good posture.  
some ten Miles from Lincoln, upon the He●th, there was presented unto him by a young Cavaleere, from two his of his Sisters and himself, thirty great Horses, the Riders every one in his buff coat and Scarlet Hose, rich scarves and Feathers, the Gentlewomen were there themselves, who tendered themselves at his Majesties caroche side, to kiss his hand, he thanked them very graciously, and assured them their Brother should find his further expression, in this manner from several private hands, there came near upon 80. Horses, well accoutred and Man'd, which was made up a complete Troope, and their Command given to the young Gentleman.  
By the way there met with his Majesty a Post, who brought news of a combustion likely to be in the Army, between some Commanders, which news quickened his hast, and coming to it found there had been some stir, and siding between two or three Captaines that expressed themselves neuter, or worse affencted, two of them was dismissed and their pheasants, and offer made by the King in public and general terms, That if any desired to return home, or had other business, they might freely depart, for he desired not any mans service, but what came with a most free and voluntary affection. To which the Souldiers answered with a general shout, and cried twice or thrice, God bless the King. The King the next morning made five or six Field Officers, from private Captaines, and so advanced the rest, and Knighted two.  
sergeant mayor Palmer was sent to take a Muster of seven thousand Horse, by york, and to wait upon the Prince, who was to be there for his Majesties Person, the Country comes in very fast, and the camp increases daily, so that it is very probably conjectured, the North will show as able an Army of Horse, as ever England did, and it is worth general observation to see how the People are joyed and taken with the soldiery of the Prince and the Duke of york, who give such forward expressions, as if they would be thought men in all their Actions, indeed the Prince doth exercise his Troope so orderly and boldly, as begets both affection and hope.  
Vpon Tuesday morning very early there appeared in the town of Hull, for an hour a great smoke and Fire, and wee could hear the Drums bear, but it continued no longer, and was thought to be some mischance. The King rose this morning very early, was very active about the Army, gauged and tried many of the horsemens Pieces, and gave order that every Officers should do the like, in the afternoon, he had a long conference with the Lords concerning the Parliaments Petition and the earl of Holland, and appeared very pleasant afterwards.  
This day the Army which before lay like a Crescent, was joined into a full body, and the King took a Troope of Horse, and colonel Vavasors Regiment, the Elector another Troope of Horse, and colonel Stricklands Regiment, divided them into several forms and wings, and made several brave Skirmishes.  
As the King was at Dinner in His Tent, there came a Messenger from Wiltshire, who brought news at what pause the country stood between the Militia and the Commission of Array, and what Answer they had returned to the earl of pembroke, with a Petition from some that stood firm for his majesty, that he would please to sand Instructions by some persons of quality and trust, but the King will thither himself 'tis thought. The same night came a packet from Mr. Hastings, which complained of a great disobedience committed against his majesties Commands and Commission, colonel ●unsfoord standing by, when his Majesty imparted it to the Lord mowbray, who  told him, that if he would please but to vouchsafe his presence there he was confident it would engage their duties, and so in other places. This Evening the King see the trial of a great Mortarpiece, and some fireworks by a Dutchman, which was done with a great deal of Art.  
There came four Gentlemen from the university of Cambridge, with a Petition and declaration to his Majesty, who received them very favourably, and the next day they returned.  
The King spent better half of the Night in writing, and is this morn for Liecester. colonel Lunsford was dispatched for Newcastle with a Packet, the Lord Paget to york with another, to the Prince and the Lord Keeper.  
Sir John Hotham turned five men out of the town, who pretend themselves Norwich Factors, and got leave for home, they report the townsmen mutter shreudly at Sir John, and that he hath committed the mayor, some Aldermen and chief men, but it should seem there be many unruly Members in the town, that think much to obey his Commands, therefore he hath committed some, and confined others to their Houses, with a guard upon them, they were asked what Fire it was appeared one morning, and as they say, it was a barn of corn( which a little girl as is pretended) set on Fire, playing with a Fire-sticke, and thrusting it into a hole in the barn wall.  
There was a woman and Child killed in that hurly burly by accident, but one of those Factors had such a paper found about him, for they were searched, as made them all suspected, and committed to the Provost Marshall.  
Sir John hath made the town exceeding strong, and not to be taken as they conceive, if they agree within, nor wants provision, yet they wish a supply from the Parliament, and this side is as confident to have it.  
In the Kings absence the Lord great chamberlain gives all Commands and directions to the Army which lies at an excellent posture, strong and orderly, fortified with exquisite works, Engines and great Guns, onely a Trage-Comique passage happened incident to Captaines, a poor loving Wench( who cannot now obscure her name from general notice being Nan Ball) well enough known in London too, was taken in mans clothes, waiting upon her beloved lieutenant, and by a foolish accident betrayed and carried before the earl of Lindsey, he was quit from his command, and she should have suffered public shane, but a Letter was procured from the Duke of york for her reprieve, and so loving heart she was turned to seek her fortune, which she might happen to find at york.  
The earl of warwick hath scoured the River and all the Coasts upon Lincolnshire clear. But there will be news from Newcastle Ships before it be long, for the King is resolved to be sudden.  
There came very current news this night that two of the earls ships met a very lusty Fleming upon the cost of Sal fleet haven, a place in Lincolnshire, which they knew to be a man of war by her built, she carried 30 pieces to be seen, they hayl'd her for the King she would not stoop, then they shot, and she shot, but took the benefit of a gale, tack't about and made her way, they gave her chase, and what the issue is it cannot yet be known, but it is believed she was a ship of some consequence.  
Though you have all the Money and Plate at London, here is mirth, good Victuals and drink, and the cavaliers hope by degrees, Guild-hall will come to york.   

A Letter sent from Leicester to a worthy Lady in this City.  
MADAM,  
TO give you an early return of our news here( the Messenger being warn in his saddle) J was constrained to seal it up in hast; therefore in short be pleased to know, though the King came unto us suddenly, he came not unlooked for, nor was his welcome so apparent at the coming as at his farewell: His presence having lest a strong and persuading influence upon those affections, which onely knew him before, by false Copies which 10000.( at least) of the country in their joys and acclamations gave an account of, the next day he came. His first entertainment was in a reasonable honest Speech, addressed more to his Majesty then His Prerogative,( indeed Madam, the Gentleman had but little warning to provide it) His next was the affection of some Gentry and others in their joys and shouts. J shall not need to give your ladyship an account of Mr. Hastings duty in his service, onely the circumstance may speak it the louder,( and the more acceptable, to all that think it, as it was meant) who waited upon him with the Guard of 2. hundred gallant Horse, divers other of the Gentry with him tendered themselves. There was two Petitions delivered to his Majesty by the patties of the County, his Majesty accepted both very cheerfully,& thanked them with a Speech, which deserves both their best considerations and duties. J speak my conscience Madam, what His Majesty propounded for the Commission of Array, and the Authority he left with Mr. Hastings, I believe will find more hands then was before surmised, for the people begin to lay their hands on their hearts, and I hope they shall never have cause to lay them on their Swords, against conscience or Country; but the King departed better pleased, and left the County better satisfied, his hast made him pleased to excuse what came short of our wishes in his Entertainment, I pray God bless him, and all his loving Subjects in him, and this Prayer J am confident your ladyship will join, with your  
Humblest Servant, I. P. Leicester, 23. july, 1642.
