where his majestie was received with all cheerefulnesse and hearty welcome of all the city , by the expression of the said recorder : who in the name of the lord mayor , aldermen , and citizens of yorke , made a very patheticall oration to his majestie : assuring him that the citie was at his arrivall , transported with two great and contrary passions , ioy and sorrow . ioy , for his majesties happy arivall , and lustre amongst them , whose presence , with the approach of the sunne , made a double spring in yorke : as the sunne in plants , so his majestie in the hearts of all his loyall subjects . sorrow , for that his majestie had removed so farre from his parliament , and grand counsell ( as they had iust cause to feare ) in some discontent . he farther with great boldnesse and vehemencie of speech , desired his majestie to hearken unto , and condescend unto his peeres and commons now assembled in parliament : adventuring plainely to tell his majestie , that he thought in his conscience , that they would resolve upon nothing , but what should be to the good of his majestie , and the common-wealth , and dropped some teares in the delivery of those words . his majestie was observed by the beholders , to shew no pleasing countenance at those words , nor gave no answer at all . the lord mayor by order , bare the sword before his majestie , through the citie , unto his pallace ; but a very small company were with his majestie , as the said iohn affirmeth : he telling but some nine and thirty gentlemen , and seventeene of his guard in coates . about eight or nine of the clocke that very night , came in my lord of newcastle with two coaches more : which lord , the morrow after , being saturday , went out of this city againe , between five and sixe of the clock in the morning : it was in yorke reported toward hull ; but whether it be so for certaine , iohn strickland cannot , nor dares not affirme . thursday before his majestie came in , and that it was knowne for certaine , that hee was comming , sir iohn haughtham , governour of hull , sent a servant of his , one master edward adkins , unto the lord mayor with this message : viz : that he was given to understand , that his majesty was either there , or would be there very shortly , viz. at yorke : but if his majestie had any intent to passe further , and come to hull , which hee hoped that his majesty would not ( the world in these distracted times being very apt unto iealousies and suspitions ) he desired the lord major to inform his majestie , how that he had a very speciall charge sent to him from both houses , on monday , march the fourteenth , not to suffer his majestie to enter , but with a small company , some thirtie at most ; and that the very same command was directed unto the high sheriffe of the county . the said iohn strickland further affirmeth , that at his comming out of yorke ; vpon the way he met great concourse of gentlemen , very well habited , all on horsebacke , and most of them young gallants , repairing toward yorke : and that there was very great talke , and some feares about my lord of newcastle , and that one of his footmen , had like to have beene imprisoned , for speaking strange words in the behalfe of the irish , he himself being an irishman . iohn strickland his marke x. london , printed for nath : butter , 1641 : remarkable passages from york friday, july 8. 1642. concerning the marching of horse and foot towards hull. and the manner of that counties appearance on heworth moore, on thursday last before his majestie. with the copy of a warrant from the right honorable the earl of linsey, generall of his majesties forces, to sir thomas metham knight, for the compleating of his regiments. this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a92397 of text r212438 in the english short title catalog (thomason 669.f.6[51]). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. 5 kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from 1 1-bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo 2017 a92397 wing r924 thomason 669.f.6[51] estc r212414 estc r212438 99871039 99871039 160912 this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons 0 1.0 universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

but observable also , as to be the day appointed for the sitting of this parliament : between nine and ten of the clock at night , there was seen by iames cook corporal , thomas blossome , and edward see , all souldiers belonging to the garison of hull , this strange and unwonted apparition . these being ( at the time before mentioned ) on the top of the north-blockhouse , having the watch according to order , on a sudden the skie seemed to be of a fiery colour , and to cast forth many streams . whereupon , thomas blossome observing the strangeness of the thing , began to tell the other two , how he had seen the very like appearance a little after the sitting of the first parliament ; and after such fiery streams , a great battel of horse and foot appeared in the air . he had not ended his relation , but in the east appeared a huge body of pike-men , several parties marching before , as a forlorn-hope . never saw they in their lives an army ( to their thinking ) in better equipage . suddenly they beheld in the north-west another army , the which seem'd unto them to march towards the eastern army with extraordinary speed . and first , there was the representation of some skirmishes between parties of each army , as the forlorn-hope . 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 driving the red before them , till all the red vanished out of their sight . and the black remained ;

and whereas we were upon friday the 22. of this moneth petitioned by divers of the gentry , and others , inhabitants of this county , that the munition at hull might remaine in the magazin there , for the security of our person , and of all these northern parts , their feare , being much grounded upon the parliaments relations of forreign invasions : vpon which , the more to expresse our care of our peoples safety , we did our selfe go in person to that our town , that upon our own view , we might consult what proportion of it might be fily removed upon any pressing occasion , having a respect to the promised supply for scotland , the necessary use of arms for ireland , as well as for the safeguard and satisfaction of these northern parts : but much contrary to our expectation , and the duty and allegiance of our subjects , we found the gates of that our town shut , and the bridges drawn up against vs ; and though we came in a peaceable way , reposing the greatest confidence in the loveand loyalty of our people , by offering ( as we did ) to put our own person , and our two sons , but with twenty horse , into that town , there being in it a garrison of about eight hundred souldiers ; yet we were not onely denied entrance , but in a warlike manner opposed by sir iohn hotham , the armed men being placed in all the ports , and about all the walls of the town , alleadging ( though falsly ) for his excuse , the command of the parliament , and being pressed by vs to shew such an order in writing , he could not do it ; for we were ever very confident that there was never any publike order of theirs , that could so much as imply a denyall to our admission ; we knowing well enough , that he was entrusted by them for a guard and security of that place against forreign enemies , or those at home who are dis-affected in religion , and not against his naturall soveraign , which hostile opposition and adtuall levying of war against our person , being by the statute of 25 ed. 3. enacted high treason : which statute considered , and that for the avoyding of all lealousies , as we have said , wee were content to have been admitted with so very small a number in our company , we were thereupon constrained to proclaim the said sir iohn hotham , and all those that should adhere to , or assist him , traytors . of all which abovesaid passages , we have acquainted our parliament , demanding lustice to be done upon him , that they might thereby have oportunity to vindicate the imputation laid on them by sir iohn hotham , and wethe easier way to chastize , according to the law , so high a treason . and lest a misunderstanding of our intentions , or of the law may misguide any of our loyall and wel-affected subjects , the inhabitants , captains , officers , or souldiers in that town , we have thought fit to commend to your consideration the aforenamed statute , with that of the 11. of hen. 7. cha. 1 wherein it is dec●ared , by the unanimous assent of parliament , that the subjects of this realme are bound , by the duty of allegiance , to serve the king for . the time being , for the defence of his person and the land , against every rebellion , might , or power raised against him , and with his majesty to ente , or abide in service in battell , if cause so require . and it was therefore then enacted , that from thenceforth no person whatsoever that shall attend upon the king , or be in place , by his command within or without the land that for the same deed and true service of allegiance , he , and they be no wayes attaint or convict of high treason , or of other offences for that cause , by any processe of law , whereby he , or any of them shall lose or forfeit lives , lands , tenements , goods or any thing ; but be for that deed and service utterly discharged of any vexation , trouble , or losse ; and if any act or acts , or other processe of law thereupon for the same happen to be made contrary to this ordinance , that then that act or acts , or other processe of the law whatsoever they shall be , stand and be utterly void . all which , together with the copies of our message and petition ( which we send here inclosed ) we require you to publish to the inhabitants , and all such commanders and souldiers as will heare them : that knowing both the perill of the law on the one side , and the security of such as shall adhere to vs on the other , they be not misled ( through ignorance ) to decline their allegiance ;

and enjoyed the fruits of our vinyard , yea all the blessings that could be heaped upon a nation , to make it happy , that now after these halcion daies , a storme threating so much danger should eclipse the sunne and usher on destruction , what greater terrour can there be immagined to fall upon a kingdome ( so great ) as civill warres , the king against his people , the sonne against his father , when blood , revenge , and slaughter will tryumph and revell in our cities , our wives and children ravished and destroyed before our faces , we our selves spectators of such horrible and unhumane tragedies , being in no waves able to helpe or defend them ; these are the effects of civill discords , and have we not just cause to feare that such will be the event of these distractions , for these discontents betweene the king and parliament , vomited by the malignant party hath already wrought a sad effect . for his majesty hath declared his irefull resolution , conceiving all those that have opposed him , and that shall oppose him , by whose hand or by whose directions soever it was done in both cases , by the helpe of god , for he will have justice , or else loose his owne life in the requiring of it . likewise his maiesty declares , that if it be possible for his subjects to beleeve that such a defence of himselfe with the utmost power he can make , be raising warre against the parliament , he doubts not ( howsoever it shall please god to deale with him in this contention ) but that the justice of his cause will at last prevaile against all those that have for their owne ends corrupted the understanding of the people . likewise it is apparent that his majesty intends to put this his resolution in speedy execution , for the king is gone to hull , attended with the prince , with about 400 horsemen and 700 footmen musketieres , but the inhabitants of hull having intelligence of their intended purpose , forthwith raised 1000 men well armed to stand upon their guard , to prevent ensuing dangers ; there is two ships lately come from holland , the palsgrave being in one , and the earle of danbie in another , and many other lords besides , and they came both to the mouth of humber , but there arose a great wind , insomuch that they were forthwith driven from the shore , and disperst at sea from each other , but one of them comming up very boldly towards hull , sir iohn hotham made shot at them , and beate them to other side of humber , whereas yet they lye and have drawne certaine of the chiefest of their ordnance a shore , and have raised certaine batteries , and mounted their ordnance thereon , against sir iohn hotham , and all the souldiers aforementioned , accompanied with the prince , are gone to aid and assist him against the towne , and they have brought with them great store of ammunition , beside 300 thousand pounds of money , so that the king , and the prince , is gone to meet them with a strong guard of souldiers for his owne defence . upon thursday last , beeing the 7. of iuly , the king summoned all the gentry and commonalty of yorkeshire , that are protestants to attend his commands , where there was assembled great multitudes of protestants , and many others that are favourers of the malignant party , and many profest papists which were there ( notwithstanding his maiesties command to the contrary ) from which we may inferre , that they that doe presume to meet in a tumultuous manner , contrary to his maiesties command , while warre is but in agitation . will be much boulder , and contest with that command , were war put in execution . likewise the cavalieres commit outrages of all sorts , dreading nothing , neither law , nor authority , being countenanced by some great men that are too neare the king in power , and authority , so that we are not certaine to enjoy any thing but by their allowance , nay they are so confident , that they will not sticke to sweare , that they will teach us new obedience , and many other reproachfull and dangerous words . likewise in the neare adjoyning counties , as leicestershire , lancashire . and other parties , the lord strange , mr. hastings , sir thomas aston , and divers others commissioners of array , have made great disturbances in those parts to the terrour of the inhabitants . also it is feared that the lord digbie is secretly landed and both endeavour to raise men in dorsetshire . these disturbances the parliament having seriously considered of and found the great detriment that these evill affected persons may doe to the subjects under their authority of the commission of array , they have thought good to declare , that the commission of array is against law , and that all those that are actors in putting the commission of array in execution , shall be esteemed disturbers of the peace of the kingdome , and destroyers of the the liberties of the subject . ordered that this be printed , and published . iohn browne , cler.

and it would perspicuously appeare in the face of the world , so farre distant from the suppository impeachment of treason , that it would rather be commonly asserted an act of loyalty to his majesty , and accommodation to the whole kingdome . these words it seems could not be digested by the swelling and angry stomackes of the papists and others of the malignanr party . and the lord digby understanding the truth hereof was much incensed , and being with a seeming indignity exasperated , confirmed his resolution to vindicate the same ( if by any politique stratagem it could be circumvented : ) the plot was as nefarious , as prodigious , as dangerous , as suspitious , that they had clancularly intended against hull ; two ships laden with strong provision of armes , and other ammunition , came by the sea , under a pretended colour of merchants ships from the indies , and the like : and they had also spices and other things in the ship , that their plot might be concealed , and detected the better and with more oppertunity : and being searched , they had not suspected any thing , but that by great chance they perceived a barrell or two of powder , and making farther search in the said ships , they found great store of ammunition of armes , which they intended to have had executed at night against hull , if they had not been prevented : but they were apprehended immediately , and carried before the mayor of hull , who committed them to safe custody . then besides , these 5 papists went under a disguised color of a cōmittee at york , appointed by the parliament to sit there , and under pretence also , that being threatned imprisonment by his majesty , they were constrained to fly thither for security , and th●refore desired them to open the gates for them . but a parliament man that was in hull , viewing them , denied them to be parliament men ;

for otherwise being in their power , i knew not how they might have used him . at his return he told me , that at his first coming , after an unusuall kinde welcome , that master beckwith broke the matter to him , that if he would do service , &c. he should be rewarded in a great measure , intimating to him how unable i was to preferre him in any way of subsistance : to be short , he made a plain contract with him , that if he could betray a port , he should have five hundred pound in hand , and two hundred and fifty pound , per annum , for his life , this he willingly accepted ; then beckwith discoursed with him of the means , how he could do this : he told him , that upon thursday night , the six and twenty day of this may , he had the guard at the northgate , and if alarum were given at another gate , called hessell gate , he could then let them in . this thus overnight concluded upon , next morning he was brought into the presence of one trist , he was a papist , and commanded mr percies troop of horse at the defeat at newbourne , and one captain courtney , and six others ; some of which , his father in-law told him , were lord disguised : these promised him to make good his reward ; but they doubted , unlesse some captain might likewise be ayding , it might misse of performance , and therefore propounded to him to draw his captain into the businesse . lowanger a dutch man ( a man truely of that faith , courage , and ability , that were i to manage an enterprise of the greatest moment that might be , i would not wish a better second ) they propounded to him that he should have in reward 1000 pounds , 500 pounds for his life , and be made a knight . you see , sir , what ever the performance would have been , they were not spare in promises . trist told him he had a man of his , whom under colour of carrying arms as a voluntiere , he might employ as he saw cause . beckwith , it appears some time before , had an eye to have corrupted lowanger , for he had invited lowanger to his house , and sent him word he would bestow a gelding upon him , which he presently then acquainted me with , and told me he though there was some ill meant in it , and so would not go : he hath exceedingly laboured in the discovery of this , being in a great measure sensible of his honour herein . upon tuesday we caused the lievtenant to write back to his father-in-law that lowanger liked well of the businesse , but desired some better assurance of his reward then trist and courtneyes words , and sent a boy with the letter ; and that it might appear to mr beckwith to be carryed with more secrecy , the boy was caused to put the letter in his shoe : the return was this letter enclosed ; the originall ( being well known to be his hand ) i keep ( to be sent when the parliament shall command ) lest it might miscarry , as some other letters of his , whereby his hand may be known . i have trists man in hold , who confesseth h 〈…〉 s sent hither by trist ( under colour to carry arms ) to give intelligence : and i finde he had endeavoured to send to york 〈…〉 of my souldiers . this morning i received a letter from mr major of beverley , the copy of which i send you , of divers assembled at mr beckwiths house : we had another , as i think , to surprise the block-house , being the strong fort of the town ; but how that is , i have not yet made a full discovery . i have sent to the major of beverley to search mr beckwiths house , being a recusant , and to tender them the oath of allegiance and supremacy , and to know their names . if there had been open warre , i could soon have told what to have done in this businesse : and truely , if i should have let the plot gone on , and given them what they deserved , i think , being they came that way to have taken the town , i might have justified it before god and man : but being loath to be the first letter of blood , i resolved of another course , which was , to advertise his majesty of the plot discovered , least some should advise him upon a designe might prove dishonourable and dangerous to him . this dispatch i sent away last night . i shall trouble you no farther , but rest , hull , 1642. your affectionate faithfull friend , iohn hotham . the true copy of master beckwiths letter , a recusant . sonne , the iron is hot , i guesse at the sense of your letter , that all is right as was intended , for more security , in the morning , i expect strong here . my sonne went yesternight to york , comes with great ones this night lor : i send what i have from you this night thither : if it may breed inspition , let your friend beleeve well , and not come to morrow ;

told him , as he was their captaine and commander they honoured him , but if that he went any way to tyrannize over them , he should find a souldiers malice not inferiour to a captains , they said they came thither to fight for their king and country , for whose sakes the best blood in their bodies they would spend , all shouting forth with a generall consent cursed be he which fears to die in a iust cause , truth we love , but falshood contemne . one better minded souldier then all the rest answered most wisely after this maner : do but give me the hearing and you shall soone grant how rediculous this uprore is ; wise men never attempt impossibilities ; t is more easie and lawfull for any single arme to quell an army , as to effect with loyalty your intented enterprise . we come hither to fight for our king , & to relieve our country from slavery , but not to raise civill wars amongst our selves , which of all dissension is the worst : then turning to his captaine he speaked thus : what magick hath transform'd thee from thy self ? where is thy wonted valour ? how hast thou lost thy boasted freedome ? what new fire burn'd up thy scorched entrayles ? what unknowne desires invade and take posession of thy soule ? all vertuous obiects vanisht ? hastthou stood the shocks of fierce encounters ? stopt thine ears against all syren notes moving to the least distemper against thy souldiers ? what monster is it , which hath drawne thy barke of clemencie , ( that which wonder hath kept , an honoured and constant course : ) into the gulfe of a deserved ill fame ? and in a moment with thine own hands dig up a grave to bury the momumentall heape of all thy yeares imployd in noble actions : i sorrow for thy fate : we obey thee , and willingly put our owne fetters on to grace thy triumph , it were therefore more then cruelty in thee to use us as a tyrant useth to doe his servants , for so we are , but not your slaves ; wherefore i desire your worship to take consideration . the captaine with sterne look answered thus : hang consideration . when you are hanged all , england is able to furnish me with more i have courage to fetch them in . how durst you only entertaine a grumbling syllable in my cōmand ? in me great mavors spake , my voyce did eccho in your eares his thunder , and whilst you like so many seaborne tritons armed onely with the trumpet of our iniunction you thinke you are safe now : who durst but dispute it or make it questionable , if this moment i charge ye from yon hanging cliffe that glases his rugged forehead in the neighbour lake to throw your selves downe head long : or like fagots to fill the ditches of defended forts while on your backs i march up to the breach . one stout souldier answered , that would not i , ( which forc'd the captaine for to frown ) but yet said the souldier : i dare as much as any of great brittaines boldest souldiers . at which the captaine answered , adde one syllable more , thou dost pronounce a sentence that earthquake-like will swallow thee : but yet obey mee according to my minde and i am yours . with a unanimus consent they thus answered : thy flatteries we dispise , thus spit at them , and scorne them , and being arm'd in the assurance of our innocent vertue , wee stamp upon all doubts , all feares , all tortures , thy barbarous , cruelty , or villany can shewe upon us : thou art false , falser than romish religion , more savage than the beat or she lyon would of her whelps , we have been long burthened with the yoke of your tyrannizing command , and now at length are resolved to shake it off , we doe intend to make no idol of you , nor as our late temporizers did to the altar , bow and bend to you any more upon these tearmes , for since you seeme to forget your love to us , we scorne to tender our servie to you : at which like so many ravening wolves to devour a sheepe or lamb , so ran they upon him and tooke away his life . he exercised tyrannie over them , and they inhumanity over him , they acted their parts tragically , and he died most miserably . alas ! who knowes whither with his body they slew his soul also . commanders of what degree soever , mark this my admonition , let not your rage , excell reason let not pride oversway you which is a vice by which many fall . let not your thought be lifted up higher than it becomes . if men be your servants , make them not your slaves , for fierie spirits are not soon quenched witnes the fierce fire which was kindled against this captaine . it is scarce within the compasse of patience to endure the tyrannie of a king , much lesse a kings servant . as it is the part of a king parcere subiectis , so it is also vibellare superbos . who plucke downe the proud , such whose spirits and ambitious thoughts the highest sphere will not containe ▪ with icaris his wings , many will soare aloft , although the son melt the wax , and they christen more seas ;
