<HEAD>THE Cavalliers advice to his Maje|&s;ty, together with his an&s;wer to their de|&s;ires. Al&s;o his Maje&s;ties Intentions for the avoiding of my Lord of E&s;&s;ex his approach with certain Propo&s;itions propounded by the Caval|liers unto His Maje&s;ty, concerning the procure|ment of their generall pardon, all which tru|ly gathered and compacted out of a let|ter &s;ent from <HI>Coventry,</HI> to a Ci|zen of LONDON.</HEAD>
<P>_THe Cavalliers having Intelligence of my Lord of E&s;&s;ex, his comming towards them and knowing them&s;elves to be fare to weake to oppo&s;e &s;o great an Army as they &s;uppo&s;e he would bring along with him, therefore they thought it meete among&s;t them&s;elves to Petition. and de&s;ire his Maje&s;ty for the &s;afety of their per&s;ons: to be plea&s;ed to take to his royal con&s;iderration for the obtayning of &s;ome meanes for their &s;afer protection, and as for their parts they knew noe better way then for his Maje&s;ty to Cro&s;&s;e the Sea: and crave the a&s;&s;i&s;tance
<PB N="2" REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 92 -->of forraigne Forces, his Maje&s;ty hearing of their petition &s;eemd much to di&s;like of it, alleadging that were no better then for to avoid <HI>Scylla,</HI> and fall into <HI>Charybdis,</HI> therefore His Maje&s;ty after a &s;mall contemplation re&s;olved them what he would do, which was to effect, that hee would remove all his Forces by degrees unto Wales to Loyd-loo Ca&s;tle, where he well knew he &s;hould finde many faithfull and tru&s;ty per&s;ons, e&s;pecially my Lord of Carbery, and what&s;oever power and Forces hee could ray&s;e, likewi&s;e alleadging that the mountaines and hills would be cumber&s;ome for my Lord of E&s;&s;ex and his hor&s;emen to come over, e&s;pecially with their Ammunition; but yet with all this the Cavalliers were not throughly &s;atisfied, for their wicked guilty Con&s;ciences harboured &s;till a jealou&s;ie of future dangers, therefore they urged cer|taine Propo&s;itions to his Maje&s;ty, of which the chiefe were the&s;e three particulars. Fir&s;t, that if His Maje&s;ty would not with prone willing|ne&s;&s;e conde&s;cend to their de&s;ire, he would be plea&s;ed to continue in the &s;ame &s;tedfa&s;t re&s;olutions (to wit) adventure and undergoe all dangers what&s;oever (without any yielding) as they would doe, or that in ca&s;e if his Maje&s;tie did unite him&s;elfe with His both Hou&s;es of Parliament, he would be plea&s;ed to obtaine them a generall pardon for all crimes what|&s;oever that may be laid to their charge, the &s;econd propo&s;ition and de|mand was, that &s;eeing they had adventured both their lives and fortunes in His Maje&s;ties behalfe and &s;ervice to the prejudice and danger of their utter ruine, that His Maje&s;ty would be plea&s;ed in con&s;ideration thereof amply to reward them for their &s;aid adventure, and if that in ca&s;e His Maje&s;ty were not of power &s;ufficient to accompli&s;h the &s;ame to &s;o great a number, that then he would be plea&s;ed to give them way to &s;atisfie them&s;elves, to connive at their wickedne&s;&s;e that they might pillage the hou&s;es of all tho&s;e that &s;hould any way oppo&s;e his will and thereby &s;a|tisfie them&s;elves. The third and la&s;t was, that if His Maje&s;ty would not cro&s;&s;e the Sea for his &s;afety, he would be plea&s;ed to give way for the Iri&s;h Rebells to come over to a&s;&s;i&s;t his per&s;on. To their fir&s;t demand His Maje&s;ty an&s;wered that he would willingly undergoe and be equal &s;harers in all their dangers, but as for his yeelding, ere he would &s;ee His 3. Kingdomes ma&s;&s;acred, upon lawfull &amp; ju&s;t con&s;iderations he was re&s;olved to comply with his both Hou&s;es of Parliament, but wirh &s;uch an exception as that there &s;hould be a generall pardon granted to all, or
<PB N="3" REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 92 -->at lea&s;t wi&s;e he would endeavour with his utmo&s;t power to procure the &s;ame, to their &s;econd demand he an&s;wered, that for their loyalty to him in adventuring their lives and fortunes in his behalfe, it &s;hould not be unthought of, if ought in him might yeeld requitall, yet would not he by no meanes con&s;ent to the rifling and pillaging of any of his Subjects hou&s;es without they were manife&s;tly knowne to be Traytors to his Per&s;on, at their third and la&s;t de|mand, he &s;eemed to be extraordinarily moved by rea&s;on of &s;o unju&s;t a Petition, therefore he gave to that a plaine and flat deniall, only for the &s;afety of his per&s;on, his re&s;o|lution was to go to Wales to Loyd-loo Cha&s;tle afterwards if he found not that a &s;ufficient harbour, he would take to further con&s;ideration, concerning cro&s;&s;ing the Sea, the Cavalliers at this being di&s;mayed partly through feare of future dangers, and partly to avoid my Lord of E&s;&s;ex his approach, many of them fled away and for&s;ook his Maje&s;ty, others more re&s;olutely bent, kept &s;till with his Per&s;on to|wards Wales, where 'tis reported his Maje&s;ty intends to take habour. Likewi&s;e many of the Scots hearing of my Lord of E&s;&s;ex his intention came over to Dover Ca&s;tle, with a de&s;ire to pre&s;ent their &s;ervice unto his Excellency and their endeavours, for the a&s;&s;i&s;tance of his per&s;on, where they no &s;ooner landed, but that they heard beating of drums by certaine Cavalliers for the levying of men in his Maje&s;ties &s;ervice again&s;t the Parliament, they de&s;irous to know further the Cavalliers intention, went to them un|der pretence of being as&s;i&s;tance for them, but finding their re&s;olutions to bee &s;o wicked, neither agreeable to the Lawes of God, nor the laws of man, fell there upon them turning their faces about, &s;o that the Cavalliers were greatly di&s;comfited, and glad every man to run away, and &s;hift for him&s;elfe.</P>
<P>Oxford Schollers in like manner had a great overthrow by the foure hundred Troopers &s;ent thither by the command of both the honourable Hou&s;es of Parliament, to &s;earch certaine
<PB N="6" REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 93 -->Delinquents &amp; Cavalliers, and other ill-affected per&s;ons which the Schollers there had harboured, for the Schollers before the &s;aid Troopers arived thither were mighty unruly, beating the Towne&s;men away, &s;o that they were fame to fly for refuge, &s;ome to Abington, &s;ome to Tame, others to Botley leaving all their goods behind them, but at the comming thither of the &s;aid Troopers they all returned and joyn'd forces together. The Schollers had no intellgence of then comming untill they were almo&s;t upon the skirts of the Towne pa&s;t Shotover wood, then they &s;u&s;pected their intentions, and cau&s;ed the gates of every Colledge to be &s;hut, but the Troopers no &s;ooner came over the bridge, but that they began to batter at Magdalen Colledg, and Magdalen Hall being the two fir&s;t in their way, but fir&s;t demanding for Doctor <HI>Fruen,</HI> being Pre&s;ident of the Colledge to have the gates opened, who the Schollers replied was out of town at Gloce&s;ter, for he is Deane of that Cathe|drall, yet neverthele&s;&s;e the gates were not opened for the pre&s;ent, till &s;uch time that the Souldiers began to batter the Chappell windowes, whereof one windowe being at the Ea&s;t end of the Chappell of Darke worke which was valued at an hundred pound, which was beaten downe to peeces, with many other windowes of thirty pound price; Upon this a&s;&s;ault the gates were opened and entrance was given, and there they found certaine Cavalliers in Schollars habits, who were knowne to be &s;o by their Feathers, Buffe Coates, and other Warlik habits found in their Chambers.</P>
<P>Some nine or tenne of the Schollers there behaved them|&s;elves very &s;aucily towards the Souldiers, &s;coffing at them, and at the honourable Hou&s;es of Parliament, e&s;pecially one <HI>Robin&s;on</HI> a Demy of that Colledge, hee with the re&s;t were taken Pri&s;oners; they made &s;earch for Ammunition but they found none, onely great &s;tore of Plate, among which a piece was termed by the name of the Parliament pot (given it &s;eemes by &s;ome of the Nobility at the la&s;t Parliament held there) which was valued to be worth three&s;core pound; all
<PB N="7" REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 93 -->this while many of the Troopers were di&s;per&s;ed to &s;everall Colledges, &s;ome to new Colledge, &s;ome to All-Soules, o|thers to Bailoll, and Saint <HI>Johns,</HI> they found &s;ome &s;mall &s;tore of Ammunition, which as it was thought was con|veyed thither by Bi&s;hop <HI>Laud,</HI> for hee hath beene formerly of that Colledge. In this hou&s;e likewi&s;e one <HI>Painter</HI> a Ma&s;ter of Arts was found with a Libell in his pocket, made again&s;t certaine men of that County that &s;tood firmely affected for the Parliament, tho&s;e that went to &s;earch Ie&s;us Colledge found no Ammunition there, onely the Doctor &s;omewhat &s;terne, and as they conceived by his di&s;cour&s;e no extraordinary well wi&s;her to the honourable Hou&s;es of Parliament; this Colledge was not well fraught with Plate, all the &s;tore they had was conveyed and hid in the Man&s;iples hou&s;e at Saint <HI>Giles</HI> Pa|ri&s;h, who told the Souldiers at their approaching unto his hou&s;e that they were all knaves, for which hee was faine to fly for his paines. Al&s;o one <HI>Edwards</HI> a North-wales man, fellow of this Hou&s;e was taken pri&s;oner for the abu&s;efull termes he &s;poke in the behalfe of a Cavallier that was a friend of his</P>
<P>Some of the mo&s;t ignorant Troopers went to the Schooles taking it for a Colledge, and there lay &s;earching and tumb|ling too and fro of the Library Bookes; but all this while the chiefe of the Cavalliers were &s;heltred in Chri&s;t Church, where they had above the gate laid heapes of &s;tones at their entring for to fall on the Troopers heads. Some others &s;tood in &s;tudy windowes with Pi&s;tolls in their hands, but our men having notice by the Citizens of all that they intended, went in at the back Gate oppo&s;ite to Oriall Colledge, and through Canterbury quadrangle, &s;o that &s;ome of the Schollers and Ca|valliers ha&s;tning to fly away, running through the other gate were cruelly wounded in their owne Traps, and taken by our Souldiers thereby, to the number of two hundred, whereof foure&s;core are already &s;ent to London, and impri&s;oned in &s;eve|rall places, the re&s;t are in hand hourely expected to come;
