<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>ACcording to my Ingagements to your &s;elfe formerly, after my love remem|bred. I thought good to adverti&s;e you of the newe&s;t, and true newes from the <HI>North,</HI> which through the Malignant Party and wicked Coun&s;ell about His Maje&s;tie, who have fir&s;t diverted the Kings Maje&s;ty from his High Court of Parliament, and do daily per&s;i&s;t to animate His Maje&s;ty and his good Subjects, to be rai&s;ers of a civill warre, which them&s;elves have been the chief actors; and nothing is in their minds as can be thought, but to &s;eek the ruining of this
<PB N="2" REF="3"> Kingdome: And &s;o is it at this time, that the Court of <HI>Yorke</HI> doth entertaine all &s;orts of Delin|quents, of whom, &s;ome by His Maje&s;ty have been Proclaimed Traitours, as the Lord <HI>Digby,</HI> and o|thers, and yet have made the Court of <HI>Yorke</HI> a &s;an|ctuary of all Delinquents, again&s;t the ju&s;tice and Priviledge of Parliament; to the great danger, not only of the di&s;turbance, but even of the &s;ubver|&s;ion of the originall con&s;titution and frame of this Kingdome.</P>
<P>We credibly heare from <HI>New-Ca&s;tle,</HI> that the Earle of <HI>New-Ca&s;tle</HI> being &s;ent by His Maje&s;tie, Marched with 500. men to place a Garri&s;on more &s;tronger for the defence therof, whom the Town&s;|men &s;eeing their in&s;olency and violence they com|mitted upon the Towne, making their will a Law, and taking mens goods <HI>nolens volens,</HI> the Towne and Colliers of <HI>New-Ca&s;tle</HI> manfully re&s;i&s;ted them, and made them Retreat out of their Bulwarks and out of the Town; and upon their re&s;i&s;tance killed eleven of their men, but the Town&s;men and Col|liers e&s;caped without the lo&s;&s;e or hurt of the&s;e bloudy minded Cavaleers: But we hear &s;ince, the Earle of <HI>New-Ca&s;tle</HI> is gone back to <HI>Yorke</HI> for more &s;trength, to go again&s;t the Inhabitants of <HI>New-Ca|&s;tle;</HI> which if they &s;hould any wayes overcome them, the Citie of <HI>London</HI> is like to undergo great da|mage, it being the chiefe&s;t place for Sea-coale. Therefore 'tis very nece&s;&s;ary and convenient, that the High Court of Parliament would take it into &s;erious con&s;ideration, that their may &s;ome ayde be
<PB N="3" REF="3"> &s;ent to their reliefe. And indeed &s;o is it in all the Northern parts of <HI>England;</HI> for every man is in feare, that is rich, of pre&s;ent &s;urprizall, &s;eeing a ci|vill War alreadie begun in many parts and Coun|ties of this Kingdome; as namely, at <HI>Leice&s;ter</HI> by Ma&s;ter <HI>Hastings,</HI> of who&s;e &s;ucce&s;&s;e he hath no great rea&s;on to boa&s;t; and al&s;o by the Lord <HI>Strange</HI> in <HI>Lanca&s;hire,</HI> again&s;t the whole County, but e&s;pe|cially again&s;t the Citie of <HI>Manchester;</HI> and like|wi&s;e now at <HI>New-Ca&s;tle</HI> by the Earle of <HI>New-Ca&s;tle;</HI> but their hopes are by the great mercie of God fru&s;trate of what they thought ere this to have had po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion of.</P>
<P>His Maje&s;tie is now at <HI>Beverley</HI> with a great Ar|mie of men, with an intention to take the Towne of <HI>Hull;</HI> and to that end hath imployed many men in worke to digge Trenches, and make Bulwarks to command the Town, and hath &s;topped the pa&s;&s;age of all fre&s;h-water for comming into <HI>Hull;</HI> but the whole County of <HI>Lincoln</HI> are very ob&s;ervant to Sir <HI>John Hotham,</HI> and the Parliaments de&s;ires, that they will &s;pend their lives and e&s;tates, to maintaine that Town with all nece&s;&s;aries, again&s;t any oppo&s;i|tion, for the KING and Parliament. But the &s;trength and &s;cituation of that Town in &s;uch, that 40. thou&s;and fighting men are not able to take it, if the hearts of them be true to their KING and Countrey, which are in the Town.</P>
<P>We hear newes to <HI>Yorke,</HI> that the Lord <HI>Strange</HI> hath fallen from his de&s;igns concernning the Com|mi&s;&s;ion of Array, and the placing of the Militia,
<PB N="4" REF="4"> and will not do any thing contrary to Law, or that &s;hall be prejudiciall to the Kingdome.</P>
<P>The Cavaleers are at <HI>Yorke</HI> very in&s;olent, that men dare not without great feare of danger walke the Streets after Sun-&s;et; for they will three or foure of them &s;et upon one man, and take all that he hath, and wound him, and &s;la&s;h him with their &s;words, upon refu&s;all to them, what is his own</P>
<P>They have here beene &s;o pre&s;umptuous and op|po&s;ite to Ju&s;tice, that upon <HI>Thur&s;day</HI> night la&s;t, there was nine Cavaleers walked the &s;treets of <HI>York</HI> &s;eeking what prey they might devour to enrich their bea&s;tly and carnall lu&s;ts, though with the ut|ter impoveri&s;hing of whom they ran&s;ack, they met with three Gentle-men of note in the County of <HI>York,</HI> who came to <HI>York</HI> upon their occa&s;ions, they cowardly &s;et upon them, with dam, and &s;inke them, they mu&s;t have what money they had, or el&s;e they would make them a prey for the fowls of the ayre; but the Gentle-men being re&s;olute, rather then they would thus be out-dared, they would en|danger them&s;elves to re&s;i&s;t their de&s;ires, which very manfully they did, &amp; cut two of them very &s;hrewd|ly that tis thought they will never recover with life; the other &s;even being never a one free from &s;ome cut or other about them; they &s;o manfully beha|ved them&s;elves. The gentlemen being all of them in the Surgeons hands, and all &s;omething wounded, but in no danger of death. Four of the Cavaleers are taken and are in hold, but the favours they re|ceive from Court from the hands of Noble-men,
<PB N="5" REF="4">
'tis thought will ea&s;ily free them without any trou|ble at all, but a &s;hew; which makes them to run on in the&s;e and the like cour&s;es of inju&s;tice and wic|kedne&s;&s;e, without the feare of God, or man. Thus de&s;iring of the Lord, that he would plea&s;e to put a period unto the&s;e cruell and civill Wars and di|&s;tractions; and that it would plea&s;e the Almighty God, who is the onely Governour and Ruler of of Kings; put it into the heart of our King, with an unanimous con&s;ent, to expo&s;e his evill Coun&s;el|lours now about his Maje&s;tie, to the ju&s;t cen&s;ure of the high Court of Parlia. and him&s;elfe joyn with them for the e&s;tabli&s;hing of this kingdom in Peace.</P>
<P>Thus with my love to all my friends till the next conveniencie, I re&s;t.</P>
