<P>ON friday night the Generalls Excellency came before Barn&s;table, where he &s;pent not much time before he treated about the &s;urrender there|of, which held di&s;pute till Sunday, and then the Ge|nerall being re&s;olved not to loo&s;e time, &s;ent in a &s;ummons to Sir <HI>Allen Ap&s;ley</HI> the Governour, with a Copy of the Articles whereupon Exeter was &s;ur|rendred, requiring the &s;peedy rendition of Barn|&s;table on the &s;ame tearmes, or el&s;e to let them know that he would admit no more delayes, but forth|with fall on, which he was re&s;olved to do, if the Go|vernour had not &s;ent an An&s;wer of &s;atisfaction. But there was an agreement made that night, The Articles are the &s;ame that <HI>Exeter</HI> was, only &s;ome|things (as of the Cathedrall, and concerning the Princes; and the re&s;t not u&s;efull in that) were omit|ted, other alterations not much. As <HI>Exeter</HI> &s;urenders this day (for the entry into which place our men are now drawing up) &s;o <HI>Barn&s;table</HI> &s;urrenders to
<PB N="7" REF="4"> morrow, they are to deliver up the Towne and Ca&s;tle with all therein according as is expre&s;t in the afore&s;aid <HI>Articles,</HI> and to remaine in the fort only, and after eight dayes, they are to &s;urrender the fort al&s;o, and for performance of the&s;e articles, they are to give ho&s;tages immediatly, any two, whom&s;oever the Generalls Excellency &s;hall make choyce of the Governour, and Deputy Governour only ex|cepted, and they are to have liberty to lend to <HI>Oxford,</HI> to know His Maie&s;ties plea&s;ure, and have an an&s;wer if it may bee within the eight dayes, for they are to remain there no longer in the Fort, and for tho&s;e who are to march away when they doe goe, I believe they will not much exceed one hundred, I can a&s;&s;ure you that their hearts are very low, though they have not hearts to &s;ee the hand that makes them &s;o; The Generall is returning back to take po&s;&s;e&s;sion of <HI>Exeter</HI> full of laborious action, little re&s;t day nor night; wa&s;ting his very &s;pirits to ha&s;ten the worke, that the King|dome may bee &s;etled, depriving him&s;elfe even of nece&s;&s;ary refre&s;hments, that &s;o no opportunity may be lo&s;t, I pre&s;ume that by that time the&s;e come to your hands, that the Van of our Army will bee a good way in Dor&s;et&s;hire, The Generall intends
