           Afterwards
           both
           Bodies
           did
           engage
           ,
           and
           furiously
           
           charged
           each
           other
           with
           their
           Pikes
           ,
           breaking
           thorow
           one
           the
           other
           backwards
           and
           forward
           ,
           in
           such
           dreadful
           sort
           ,
           as
           the
           beholders
           were
           astonished
           thereat
           .
        
         
           Besides
           ,
           such
           was
           the
           order
           of
           the
           Battel
           ,
           as
           the
           
             Wings
          
           of
           each
           Army
           came
           in
           ,
           to
           relieve
           their
           Bodies
           :
           And
           each
           had
           their
           
             Reserves
             ,
          
           who
           accordingly
           came
           in
           :
           so
           that
           for
           an
           half
           quarter
           of
           an
           hour
           ,
           there
           was
           a
           most
           terrible
           Fight
           .
           But
           to
           their
           thinking
           ,
           the
           Army
           which
           came
           from
           the
           
             East
          
           had
           the
           worst
           .
        
         
           It
           is
           here
           to
           be
           noted
           ,
           that
           both
           these
           Armies
           seemed
           to
           be
           of
           a
           
             Red
          
           colour
           .
        
         
           Within
           a
           little
           while
           ,
           there
           appeared
           another
           Army
           from
           the
           
             north-west
             ,
          
           greater
           then
           the
           former
           ,
           which
           marched
           directly
           to
           the
           place
           where
           the
           former
           Battel
           was
           fought
           .
        
         
           This
           Army
           was
           
             black
             :
          
           and
           here
           they
           perceived
           horse
           as
           well
           as
           foot
           .
        
         
         
           And
           now
           begins
           another
           Battel
           far
           exceeding
           the
           former
           for
           fierceness
           and
           cruelty
           .
           From
           the
           
             black
             Army
          
           there
           went
           off
           Muskets
           and
           Cannons
           ,
           insomuch
           that
           they
           clearly
           discerned
           the
           fire
           and
           smoke
           thereof
           .
           This
           Battel
           was
           between
           the
           
             black
          
           and
           the
           
             Eastern
             red
             Army
             ,
          
           being
           ,
           as
           they
           apprehended
           ,
           the
           Reserve
           of
           the
           former
           Army
           which
           came
           forth
           from
           the
           
             north-west
             .
          
        
         
           These
           two
           Armies
           thus
           engaged
           ,
           brake
           thorow
           one
           another
           ,
           forward
           and
           back
           ward
           ;
           but
           the
           
             black
          
           seemed
           still
           to
           have
           the
           best
           .
        
         
           But
           before
           both
           
             Bodies
          
           met
           ,
           there
           were
           several
           Skirmishes
           of
           
             Parties
          
           between
           the
           
             black
          
           and
           
             red
             ,
          
           as
           in
           the
           former
           Battel
           .
           And
           when
           both
           Armies
           did
           encounter
           ,
           they
           saw
           such
           fire
           and
           smoak
           ,
           as
           if
           a
           dozen
           Cannons
           had
           been
           discharged
           together
           .
        
         
           A
           little
           beneath
           these
           Armies
           ,
           not
           far
           from
           the
           earth
           ,
           upon
           a
           
             black
             cloud
             ,
          
           appeared
           Horse-men
           ,
           and
           amongst
           them
           they
           could
           perceive
           nothing
           ,
           but
           rising
           of
           fire
           and
           smoak
           ,
           and
           a
           multitude
           of
           
             spears
          
           as
           it
           were
           standing
           upright
           .
        
         
           This
           latter
           Battel
           continued
           a
           little
           
           longer
           then
           the
           former

           the
           
             black

           the

           vanished
           out
           of
           their
           sight
           .
           And
           the
           
             black
          
           remained
