<HEAD>A TRUE RELATION OF THE TAKING Of <HI>Roger Manwering</HI> Bi&s;hop of St. <HI>Davis</HI> coming from <HI>Ireland</HI> in a di&s;gui&s;ed habit; in the Ship called the EAGLE.</HEAD>
<BYLINE>By Captain IOHN POINTZ.</BYLINE>
<P>IT being my fortune by Profe&s;&s;ion to be a Souldier, and being employed according to my abilities to his Maje&s;tie and Parliaments Service again&s;t tho&s;e Rebels in <HI>Ireland;</HI> and having di&s;patched &s;ome affairs, I was re&s;olved for <HI>England:</HI> But before I came, I had intelligence of a Fugitive that had been Voted a Delinquent in
<PB N="2" REF="3">Parliament, <HI>viz. Roger Manwering</HI> late Bi&s;hop of St. <HI>Davids,</HI> and &s;ometime Par&s;on of St. <HI>Giles</HI> in the Fields. He lying under the cen&s;ure of the Par|liament; I thought became me as a dutifull Ser|vant of the Common-wealth, not to let this bu&s;i|nes go undi&s;covered, and to bring him to light, that had been &s;uch an Enemy to the Church and State; and as the Parliament hath formerly cen&s;ured him and degraded him from his dignities, and made him uncapable of the Mini&s;teriall function; and &s;ince the intermi&s;&s;ion of Parliaments, be hath ta|ken upon him the degree of a Bi&s;hop, yet hath not amended his manners, but &s;till per&s;evered in for|mer cour&s;es; he being as I heard bound for <HI>England</HI> in the &s;hip called the <HI>Eagle;</HI> when he heard how bu&s;ine&s;&s;e fared in <HI>England,</HI> and that there was &s;ome hopes of regaining his former dignity: It was my fortune to come over in the &s;ame &s;hip; where having as God would have it, &s;ome conference with his man which was with me in this &s;hip, comming for <HI>Minyard</HI> in <HI>Somer&s;et-&s;hiere</HI> where finding con|trary to my expectation, but as God appointed it, the Bi&s;hop to ride in the &s;ame &s;hip I came over in, whereupon knowing of him, intimated &s;o much to the Ma&s;ter of the &s;hip with the whole bu&s;ine&s;&s;e, the Bi&s;hops wife was with him, a very neere kin&s;wo|man to him before he married her, being of the age of 22. years, far unfit for &s;uch a man, he being aged 65. years, his &s;i&s;ter poor and lying on the Pari&s;h where he formerly lived in, without any reliefe, and he &s;uffers his children by his former wife to &s;hift for them&s;elves; he being examined before <HI>Thomas
<PB N="3" REF="3">Lutterall</HI> E&s;quire, he confe&s;&s;ed that he departed from the Kingdom of <HI>England</HI> into <HI>Ireland,</HI> for preferment upon the Kings promi&s;e: Let the world judge, if his cau&s;e had been good, but that a guilty con&s;cience pur&s;ued him, whether he would have left a &s;etled Revenewe of 1500. pounds <HI>per annum,</HI> to adventure into an unknown Fortune; but he re|maines in durance, untill the Honourable High Court of Parliament take further order with him, and the Captaine well rewarded. So much I will averr.</P>
<P>IOHN POINTZ.</P>
<P>Likewi&s;e it was related unto me &s;ince my com|ing over, that the L. <HI>Strange</HI> was ri&s;en up in Arms in <HI>Lanca&s;hire,</HI> intending to take away the Magazine there of <HI>Larpool</HI> and <HI>Manche&s;ter,</HI> with 12000. men of the &s;ame County to a&s;&s;i&s;t him, and to re&s;i&s;t him, a great number were rai&s;ed to re&s;i&s;t him, and by the a&s;&s;i&s;tance of Mr. <HI>Moore;</HI> who being Comanded by the Parliament to demand that Lords rea&s;on of rai&s;ing &s;uch Forces, and to take away the <HI>Militia.</HI> By his care the Magazine is &s;tai'd and brought un|to the Lievtenant of the County till further order be heard from the Parliament: Had not Ma&s;ter <HI>Moore</HI> came, there had bin a great deal of mi&s;chief, for there were on both &s;ides rai&s;ed, neere nine &s;core thou&s;and people; but thanks be to God all things are there at peace.</P>
<PB N="4" REF="4">
<P>There is a report likewi&s;e of the Lord <HI>Digby</HI> and others to have bin Landed neere <HI>Hull,</HI> and that they were brought in a &s;hip called the providence, with a number of bra&s;&s;e peeces, and other ammu|nition, he being cha&s;ed by &s;ome of our &s;hips at &s;ea; but <HI>Dighy</HI> as yet is not taken, Sir <HI>Edward Stradling</HI> is taken, and Colonell <HI>A&s;hburne</HI> and a French man with them, which came from <HI>Holland</HI> in a Pinnace going for <HI>Yorke.</HI></P>
<P>Al&s;o newe from <HI>Droghedagh,</HI> of the di&s;covery of dangerous and wicked de&s;ignes upon Sir <HI>Henry Tichbourne</HI> Governour of <HI>Droghedagh.</HI> As appears, that Captaine <HI>Garner</HI> did alwayes frequent Sir <HI>Henry Tichbourne,</HI> and did furni&s;h him with abun|dance of victualls, only to make him his prey, and to get him&s;elf a good opinion in him, &amp; his officers, that they might have a good conceit of his Loyall affections, and re&s;pects unto his King and Country. But fal&s;hood is hid in his di&s;&s;embling bre&s;t, he un|der &s;hadow of inviting Sir <HI>Henry Tichbourne</HI> and his officers to dinner, gives them all the entertain|ment they could expect from him; but he had &s;o provided the bu&s;ine&s;&s;e, that if God had not had a provident eye over that City of <HI>Droghedagh;</HI> it had bin betrayed to the wicked Rebells, but as it is in holy writ, the wicked have digged a pit for others, and fall into it them&s;elves, for by the meanes of one of his own &s;ouldiers, all the treachery was brought to Light, which came to Sir <HI>Henry Tichbourne</HI> and craved his pardon, which he obtained, upon which, he related how captain <HI>Garner</HI> who was &s;o inti|mate
<PB N="5" REF="4">with Sir <HI>Henry,</HI> had provided an Army of men to take <HI>Tradagh,</HI> and another Army of men to take <HI>Dundalke,</HI> and another to &s;urpri&s;e Sir <HI>Hen|ry Tichbourne</HI> and his officers comming their to dinner; but this being di&s;covered, the Captaine was taken, and his Souldiers were brought to <HI>Du|blin</HI> and put to the &s;word, the Captains Ca&s;tle &s;urpri&s;ed, and &s;eized upon by Sir <HI>Henry Tich|bourne.</HI></P>
