And leading his said Army in the midst of Winter,
gave the Rebels Battel in his passage, vanquish'd them, and
put them to flight, and took from them several Garisons,
and places of Refuge, and restored Health to the Subjects,

and Lincoln; in Derby-shire, Chesterfield; but in
York-shire, Peirce-bridge, Seacroft, Tankerly, Tad∣caster,
Sheffield, Rotheram, Yarum, Beverly, Ca∣wood,
Selby, Halifax, Leeds, and above all, Brad∣ford;

and 22 great Guns, and many Ensigns to Us. Nor was
there before this, wanting to so much Virtue, equal Felicity,
for Our most beloved Consort, after a dismal Tempest coming
