Colonel Ingoldsby being set out with a Party against Lambert, and having his own Regiment and three other Troops of Horse, and Lambert having but four Troops of Horse in all, they met about two miles from Daventree, where Captain Hasle∣rigge, Son to Sir Arthur Haslerigge, led his Troop towards Ingoldsby's Forlorn, and was taken Pri∣soner (as some said) willingly, and was dismist again upon his Paroll, and promise to bring over his Troop to Ingoldsby, which was presently done.
This and Barker's Troop coming over to In∣goldsby, did much dishearten Lambert and his Par∣ty, yet one of his Officers desired leave of him to charge Ingoldsby, assuring himself that there∣upon, many of Ingoldsby's men would come over to Lambert, who would not permit it, but desired a Parley, and moved that Richard might be resto∣red to the Protectorship, and some conditions agreed upon.
Lambert was answered, That he himself was one of those who pulled down Richard, and now would set him up again; and that they had no Commission to dispute, but to reduce him and his Party. Yet Lam∣bert would not fight, nor permit his Officers that desired it, to fire a Pistol, and himself prayed In∣goldsby to let him escape.
One of Lambert's Troopers fired a Pistol at Ingoldsby, but there was no fighting. Alured's Troop came in also to Ingoldsby, and Lambert's wonted courage failed him, neither could he es∣cape, but Ingoldsby took him Prisoner. Others took Cobbet, Creed, and others of his Party Pri∣soners; Oakey, Axtell, and others escaped, and some Troopers with them.
