<HEAD>A Letter from a Gentleman neere Nottingham, to a friend in London.</HEAD>
<P>_I Received your la&s;t Letter and Books, for which I thank you, as al&s;o D. <HI>D.</HI> for his. I came on Wedne&s;day night
la&s;t from the Court at <HI>Nottingham,</HI> where I &s;aw the King &s;et up his Standard on Munday night before: The
manner whereof was this: His Maje&s;ty came into the Ca&s;tle-yard, accompanied with the Prince, Duke, Prince
<HI>Robert,</HI> and <HI>Maurice</HI> his brother; the Duke of <HI>Richmond,</HI> and divers other Courtiers and Cavaliers: and finding
out the highe&s;t pointed hill in the Yard, from whence it might be per&s;picuous, the Standard was brought in, &amp;
there erected: At which all the Courtiers and Spectators flung up their caps, and whooped, crying, <HI>God &s;ave
King Charles, and hang up the Round-heads,</HI> and &s;o whooped the King to his lodgings. After which the Standard
was thence removed to the highe&s;t Tower of the Ca&s;tle, where it hangs blowing, and &s;o mu&s;t, till the King advanceth his Camp
for ward; then it removes with him. It is a long pole like a May-pole, dyed red, on the upper end whereof hangs a large &s;ilke
flag, (in forme of a Scutchion) with a Red Cro&s;&s;e, and two Lyon Pa&s;&s;ants upon two Crownes. The Prince <HI>Robert</HI> was next day
made Generall of the Hor&s;e, and had a Ribbon and George delivered him, and &s;o had the Duke of <HI>York.</HI> And the King made De|claration,
that who &s;o would goe that afternoone with Prince <HI>Robert</HI> again&s;t <HI>Coventry</HI> and <HI>Warwick,</HI> it &s;hould be acceptable &s;er|vice.
Whereupon he and divers went away thither, where the King had &s;ent about 600. Hor&s;e and Foot a weeke before, who
had on Saturday and Sunday la&s;t been beaten by the men of <HI>Coventry</HI> (who keep the Cavaliers out) having &s;lain one, and woun|ded
divers of them, and them&s;elves lo&s;t two or three. <HI>Warwick</HI> Ca&s;tle keeps them off, where twelve men have been &s;laine, mo&s;t
of the Kings &s;ide. There is no con&s;iderable party at <HI>Nottingham</HI> to doe any thing: Munday and Tue&s;day very few came in; but
there is great expectation of multitudes from <HI>Wales</HI> and <HI>We&s;tmerland. York-&s;hire</HI> &s;tands firme. Drums beat about <HI>Nottingham</HI> for
Voluntiers, for the King will be at <HI>Lincolne</HI> this night, where all the Gentry are &s;ummoned to meet him. Troops of Hor&s;e are
comming to be billeted in our Countie, we feare outrages by them. They commit rapine and &s;poile already about <HI>Nottingham,</HI>
having ran&s;ackt Gentlemens hou&s;es, made one Ma&s;ter <HI>Needhams</HI> owne Cart bring away to <HI>Nottingham,</HI> bedding, linnen, pewter,
butter, bacon, chee&s;e, and other things out of his hou&s;e. He is accounted a Round-head. So at <HI>York,</HI> &s;ixteen of them be&s;et a Knights
hou&s;e, (whom the King had di&s;-Ju&s;ticed) broke in, &s;ought for the Knight, whom they would have &s;laine, as them&s;elves declared;
but he getting away, (by the help of his &s;ervants) they took 70. l. in money, his plate, and divers other things, and &s;o returned.
Some of them are apprehended. They give out that Round-heads e&s;tates &s;hall be free prize, and indeed again&s;t them is the
quarrell, whom the Lord I hope will protect. My hou&s;e is much threatned, and I doe verily expect an a&s;&s;ault, for which I have
prepared to defend my &s;elfe. We think the Parliaments Forces too &s;low in comming downe.</P>

<HEAD>An Information from Leice&s;ter.</HEAD>
<P>UPon Friday the 26. day of <HI>Aug. 1642.</HI> the &s;ame morning that the Earles of <HI>Dor&s;et, Southampton,</HI> Sir <HI>John Culpepper,</HI> and Sir
<HI>William Vvedall</HI> &s;et out from the King with a me&s;&s;age to the high Court of Parliament, pretending &s;ome willingne&s;&s;e in
His Maje&s;ty to have per&s;ons cho&s;e of both &s;ides to treat about a Peace between His Maje&s;ty and the Parliament; Prince <HI>Robert,</HI>
(who hath need enough of the Parliaments help to re-po&s;&s;e&s;&s;e him in his Kingdome, and e&s;tates in the Palatinate) together with
Ma&s;ter <HI>Ha&s;tings,</HI> and many Cavaliers, went to my Lord <HI>Gray</HI> the Earle of Stamford his hou&s;e, from whence they tooke all his
Armes, and tooke away and &s;poiled all his goods, and al&s;o the cloathes of his Chaplaine, who was faine to fly for his life: And
&s;ome chiefe ones asked, Where are the brats, the young children, &s;wearing God damne them they would kill them, that there
might be no more of the breed of them: but God &s;tirred up &s;ome friends to &s;uccour them. They have al&s;o di&s;armed many of the
Inhabitants thereabout, and taken away many of their goods, but no doubt their accompt is at hand. <HI>Amen Lord.</HI></P>

<HEAD>From Lichfield.</HEAD>
<P>THe Lord <HI>Paget</HI> and his followers have gathered 3. or 400. of the &s;cum and refuge of the Countrey, and billeted them in <HI>Lich|field,</HI>
a place more plyable to yeeld to wicked mens de&s;ignes, then mo&s;t other places, by rea&s;on of the Cathedrall, debaucht
fellowes that have infected the towne, and the want of powerfull preaching ever &s;ince Reformation, where the Cavaliers and
their &s;cums have di&s;armed every man in the towne, (Ma&s;ter <HI>Noble,</HI> a Parliament man, and the two Bailiffes, and Sheriffes not ex|cepted)
and &s;eized upon the Magazine of the City, and exerci&s;e their &s;ouldiers with their Armes. They al&s;o on a &s;udden &s;urpri&s;ed
<HI>Tamworth,</HI> a great market towne, and have &s;erved them in the like manner: cau&s;ed Ma&s;ter <HI>Blake,</HI> a godly Mini&s;ter to fly, &s;ent Ma&s;ter
<HI>Black</HI> the Schoolma&s;ter to the King, and impri&s;oned about foure or &s;ixe hone&s;t eminent men in the Ca&s;tle there, becau&s;e (as they
&s;ay) they are Round-heads. All which might have been prevented, had that populous towne &s;tood upon her guard, and &s;ent out
&s;couts (as valiant <HI>Bermingham</HI> doth) For Gods and the Parliaments enemies are &s;tout and couragious, where they are feared, and
not oppo&s;ed; but feeble and cowardly where manfully with&s;tood. Then be couragious, oh England; let us labour and pray for
courage; as well as for victory, and God will de&s;troy all tho&s;e that ri&s;e up again&s;t his people, (becau&s;e they are &s;uch) reproach|fully
calling them Round-heads. <HI>Even &s;o be it. Amen Lord.</HI></P>
<P>THere is certaine intelligence that the Lord <HI>Paget,</HI><NOTE PLACE="marg">Aug. 29.</NOTE> Sir <HI>Thomas Holt,</HI> and many great ones, having gathered together
in <HI>Lichfield</HI> Clo&s;e or Palace for refuge, hearing that my Lo: <HI>Brooks</HI> was comming again&s;t them, they &amp; all the Cava|liers
and &s;ouldiers mo&s;t manfully fled for fear, and &s;o have left the town, but the poore town&s;men are cheated of their Arms.</P>
<P>The &s;ame day certaine intelligence came to the Parliament of the valiant <HI>Northampton-&s;hire</HI> mens di&s;comfiting 300. Troopers
going from <HI>Nottingham</HI> to <HI>Oxford,</HI> intending to pillage <HI>Daventrye</HI> as they went, but many of them were killed, about forty of them
taken pri&s;oners, and the re&s;t fled, God be prai&s;ed for it.</P>

<HEAD>An extract of a Letter from an hone&s;t Scholar of Cambridge, to one in Wood&s;treet, dated Aug. 30.</HEAD>
<P>SIr, I thanke you for your good intelligence, and for a requitall, take this good news: There came hither 400. Voluntiers, Citizens of London, well
armed, la&s;t night, who have taken the Earle of <HI>Carlile,</HI> Doctor <HI>Sterne,</HI> and other malignants, pri&s;oners, and have al&s;o be&s;et mo&s;t of the Colledges in
Towne, for all which, prai&s;ed be the Lord of Ho&s;ts: for now they begin to &s;hake and quiver, that not long &s;ince were a terror to others. And take no|tice
of this, as the &s;umme of my late &s;tudies, That that &s;ide which con&s;i&s;ts of good religious men, take up Armes at the call of God, (the call of &s;upreme
Authority which re&s;ides in Parliament, and the call of Nece&s;&s;ity is the call of God) for the maintenance of Piety and Learning, of the priviledge of Parli|aments,
(the old and be&s;t Government of England) and propriety of the Subject, and for the &s;afety of the Kings Per&s;on, which is now in great danger,
having God, all the godly and their prayers on their &s;ide, mu&s;t needs prevaile again&s;t that party that is Papi&s;ticall and Athei&s;ticall, which oppo&s;eth all
the&s;e, and who&s;e quarrell is chiefly again&s;t tho&s;e that have mo&s;t of God in them, who they are fooli&s;hly plea&s;ed to call <HI>Round-heads.</HI> I wi&s;h they would
repent and come in before they are confounded. Thus de&s;iring to heare from you by the returne of the Carryer, I re&s;t,</P>
