MY Lord Generall not having time, give me leave to present you with a short Relation of Gods late merciful dispensation towards our Army: On Saturday night we came to Kineton with twelve Regiments of Foot, and about fourty Troops of Horse, some of our Horse and Foot were behinde to bring on our Traine and Ammunition from VVorcester: On the Lords day morning we had certaine intelligence that the Kings Forces were making towards us; whereupon order was given to draw forth our Forces with as much speed as we could: The Kings Forces came down Edgworth Hill about five thousand Horse and thirteen thousand Foot, as the Lord VVilloughby, who is prisoner, saith; they got advantage of Hill and wind; we had not in the Field above thirty Troops of Horse, the rest being quartered further off came not in; About twelve of the clock the Cannon began to play on both sides, and about an hour after horse and foot fell to it in earnest: our left wing upon the second firing fled basely, and the right wing of horse led by Prince Robert chased them, and it seemes thinking the day their own, fell presently to plunder our Waggons, and killing the servants, even un­to women and children which attended them, but our foot and the rest of the horse fol­lowed it so close, that they wholly cut off the flower of their foot, the Kings red Regi­ment, and two or three other Regiments, besides many of their horse; took many of their Colours, the Kings Standard, some Peeces of their Ordnance, drave them to re­tire up the Hill, slew the Lord Jo. Steward, Sir Edmund Varney, one of the Lunsfords, and other Commanders, Took Prisoners the Earl of Lindsey their Generall, who since is dead, his Sonne the Lord VVilloughby, Sir Edward Stradling, Colonell Vavasour, and Colonell Lunsford, with other Officers. My Lord kept the Field till about three of the clock in the morning, and then retreated to the Towne; Next morning the Kings Army appeared upon the Hill, and we took the Field again, but it seemes they had no minde to receive a Dinner from us, who gave them so bad a Supper: we cannot say that we lost above a hundred of our foot, and a few horse, except the Waggoners and those that attended them; I know not how many of the Kings are slain: Colonell Lunsford confessed unto me, that three Regiments were wholly cut off: Sure I am, God hath given us a great Victory, and such a one (to use my Lord Generall his own expres­sion) that in as much as ever in any, there appeared little of man and much of God. For a day or two we are refreshing our Army hereabouts, and then, God-willing, we shall be fit for further service. VVhat order you shall receive from my Lord will come from a better hand, and I will trouble you no further, but recommend you to God, and write my selfe
