them between <HI>Non&s;uch</HI> and <HI>King&s;ton,</HI> and both the Kenti&s;h-men and the re&s;t fell on with &s;uch
valour that the Lords &s;tood not out the fir&s;t Charge, But fled towards <HI>King&s;ton,</HI> Sir <HI>Miles Liv|&s;ey</HI>
pur&s;uing them, doing execution many being killed and taken.</P>
<P>When Sir <HI>Miles Live&s;ey,</HI> came to the Turnepike at <HI>King&s;tone</HI> town&s;-end, he had &s;ome oppo&s;ition
