Captain Watsone who commanded the Dukes lieff-guard of horse doth affirm that he beeing on Prestoun-moore perceiving the enemies horse to be drawing out of an narrow lane into the moore where they stood , he went to his Grace who was close by and shew him of it beseeching him to give them leave to charge the enemy before they should be in order , hoping with that advantage , to give him an accompt of them , but contrair to his expectation the Duke in passion commanded him not to loose a pistoll upon no pretext whatsoever , I riding afterward towards the bridge , heard a great noise behind me , the enemy turning again toward the Town and all our people running , comming near I found some stragglers and baggage horse , and after a little while Calander came alone , his horse much spent & wearied , who gave presently order to Rally these stragglers and rode himself and brought Kelheads Regiment of foot which was upon the rear and said the musquetiers into some dry ditches near the bridge , the pikes he placed in the most Advantageous ground , the enemy advanced presently but our men giving fire upon them they retired again to pursue the rest of our people , who had quited their ground , We not having any Horse and Baylie beeing with the foot upon a hill , half a mile distant from the bridge on the other side of the water , then came one to the Earle of Calander telling him that the enemy was passing the River , below the bridge at a Church , whereupon giving order to Kelhead to make good that post , promising to supplie him with fresh men , if it were needfull : and having sent before to Baylie for 300 musquetiers he met them by the way as he was going to the Church and sent Leivetenant Colonell Halst with one hundred and fresh ammunition to the bridge , another hundred he left upon a little hill betwixt the bridge and the Army , and the third he took along to the Church where it was said that the enemy was passing , where beeing come he found no such thing , then leaving some to man the Church-yard he and Colonell Turner , came back and heard that they were passing above which made them rerire to the Leagger where they met the Duke ( who told them how narrowly he had escaped , and almost been taken prisoner , in the Town of Preston ) and there they were again told of the Enemies passing above , the Earle of Calander presently called fo● horse , it was long before any came : Whereupon Calander advanced and found them to be our own , so he marched on to the moore where he halted till it was day , ( that night we left our ammunition ) but before that it was day the Duke had past through the Troupes and was gone to Wiggan , where Calander and the Earle of Traquair went to him there he asking for Middleton , they told him they had no notice of him but that he was marched towards Preston , and was in the Rear , and that the foot were advancing into the moore , showing also how necessary his presence was to encourage the Souldiours after so ill fortune and hard marches as they had , Then he desired Calander to draw them all up in battell upon the moore : & he would follow , which was straightway done , & after some time the Duke came , Leivetenant Generall Middleton according to his order advancing toward Preston , and not finding the Army retired after them , and the enemy falling upon his rear he repulsed them diverse times , and forced them to give back , carrying himself most bravely like a gallant man , and wise commander , and came to the moore about ten a-clock , where he found the foot , and those horse they had with them drawn up , the Marques of Argyles Regiment and the dragoons were placed at the entry of the moore to favour his retreat , and staying there till two a-clock some small parties of the enemy skirmishing , it was resolved to march , the body of the horse first leavying upon the rear of the foot , Generall Major Vandrosk , Leivetenant Colonell Iames Innes , and Leivetenant Colonell David Lindsay with some troupes of horse , together with Argyles Regiment of foot , and Colonell Mills few dragoons , in this order the Army marched , and the Earle of Calandar , Middleton , Baylie , and Turner , stayed upon the moore , untill the most of them were marched into the lane , Middleton then advancing to the horse , Calander remained till the whole rear of the foot was entred the lane , at which time hee had notice given him of the enemies advancing upon the right hand to fall in betwixt the horse and foot , between there & Wiggan , upon the advertisment he advanced to know the certainty , but it proved false in regard of some marish ground , and no appearance of Enemy there , afterward comming to Wiggan hee found the Duke , ( of whom he went to receave orders ) at the further end of the Town marching with the horse , but by the straitnes of the lane and narrownes of the bridge , together with the deepnes of the way , many of the foot which was extreamly wearied having before suffered hugely in the want of victuals was lost , and the horse were a long time in passing the water , so as night drew on when Middleton hearing of the enemy upon the Rear went back and there the Officers of the commanded Troupes of horse behaving themselves like brave men were most hurt and taken . keywords: army; beeing; calander; duke; enemy; foot; horse; march; marmaduck;
