<P>_THE mi&s;eries and di&s;tractions that are now ready to be put in ex|ecution are ma|nifold, and the plots and pro|jects that are now hatched by the Malignant party, are ready to take place and po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, in&s;omuch that a Civill warre is beginning to play its part in this Kingdome, the mi&s;ery whereof
<PB N="2" REF="3">is &s;o great and terrible, and no man knoweth the cruelty, but them that bath had experience of it, God of his great mercy &s;end a &s;udden ce&s;lation of them, and bring to ruine tho&s;e that e<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">deavour to di&s;turbe the peace of the Kingdome, yet &s;till doth the&s;e rumours of Warre in|crea&s;e in &s;everall Counties of this Realm and more e&s;pecially in <HI>Wilt&s;hire,</HI> as may appeare in this en&s;uing Relation:</P>
<P>Upon the 19 of this pre&s;ent Moneth of <HI>Augu&s;t,</HI> there aro&s;e many di&s;turbances in the County of <HI>Wilt&s;hire,</HI> occa&s;ioned by the&s;e parties that came to put the Commi&s;&s;ion of Array in execution, and to with&s;tand tho&s;e Gentlemen that were &s;ent from both Hou&s;es of Parliament to &s;ee the Ordinance of Parliament perfor|med, and having a meeting together, af|ter &s;ome time &s;pent in parley, they not liking of the propo&s;itions that each part tendred to one another, there began a &s;udden fray or combu&s;tion together, and
<PB N="3" REF="3">having &s;pent the whole day in contro|ver&s;ie and debate thereof, they had &s;ome blowes, where&s;ome there were hurt, and three or foure &s;laine, and then the Coun|ty comming in with &s;peed, and &s;iding with tho&s;e that held with the Ordinance of Parliament, they were forced to flye, otherwi&s;e they had both taken pri&s;on|ers, as the Earle of <HI>Berk&s;hire</HI> and divers others are, and prai&s;ed be the Almighty the whole County in generall &s;tands for the Parliament, and are re&s;olved to fight to the uttermo&s;t of their power a|gain&s;t all tho&s;e that &s;hall oppo&s;e them; and for the Cavaleers, they make no que&s;tion, it being the wor&s;t of their feare to make a &s;udden way with them and to drive and beat them out of their Countrey, which God grant that they and all the re&s;t of the Countries in England may dot the &s;ame, not drea|ding nor fearing all the foes that ever &s;hall come again&s;t them, that &s;o this
<PB N="4" REF="4">Kingdome may flouri&s;h in its own glo|ry and pro&s;perity once againe.</P>
<P>It is credibly reported from <HI>Northam|ton&s;hire,</HI> that the Kings Maje&s;ty is come into tho&s;e parts, and doth ride by and through the Country with &s;ome &s;mall guard, to know who &s;tands for him, and who does not; &s;ome when they &s;ee His Royall Per&s;on cryes, For King <HI>Charles,</HI> For King <HI>Charles,</HI> but pre&s;ently when His Royall Maje&s;ty is gone, then they &s;tand for the Parliament, and indeed it is thought that they doe it for feare, for they think that if they &s;hould with&s;tand His Royall Maje&s;ty, that then the Cava|leers would come and ran&s;ack their hou|&s;es, They are in a great and terrible perplexity in tho&s;e parts, by rea&s;on that the Cavaleers do commit many outrages again&s;t them, and do &s;trive and endea|vour to ran&s;ack their hou&s;es, and take all that they find therein from them by vio|lence. And concerning the proceedings
<PB N="5" REF="4">in <HI>Warwicke&s;hire,</HI> His Maje&s;ty is re&s;olved to come thither, and it is &s;uppo&s;ed that he came thither upon &s;aturday la&s;t; the Cavaleers in that County do not &s;o much domineere, as they doe in other Coun|tries, by rea&s;on that there are many that &s;tands in oppo&s;ition again&s;t them; for information being given to both Hou&s;es that there were a great many of them, and that they had made many attempts again&s;t the Ca&s;tle of <HI>Warwick,</HI> and there|fore after &s;ome time &s;pent in debate thereof, they Ordered, that the Lord <HI>Brookes</HI> &s;hould have Forces rai&s;ed for the &s;ecuring of the &s;aid Ca&s;tle, which hee hath accordingly, and is now marching downe with his Forces, together with Colonell <HI>Hampden,</HI> Colonell <HI>Hollis,</HI> Co|lonell <HI>Fines,</HI> and Colonell <HI>Goodwin,</HI> their Army con&s;i&s;ting of about 6000.
