The KINGS Field-Force for the VVEST.

The PARLIAMENTS Field-Force for the WEST.

The King's Field-Forces for the securing of these Western Counties and Garrisons, even from Oxford to the Mount in Cornwal, under the Command of the Lord Goring, the Lord Hopton, Sir Richard Grenvile, and Major-General Sir John Digby, Brother to the Lord Digby: May modestly be com∣puted to be, in all, 14000. Horse and Foot, besides their severall Garrisons secured with Horse and Foot; as may easily be credited, if it be considered, the great Force they had before Taunton, during the two strait Sieges thereof, and the many men they lost in both those services; And yet with what a con∣siderable Army they were at Lamport, when they were beaten there, and at the same time also maintaining the Siege before Plimouth with a considerable Force, (besides those 14000.) His Highnesse Prince Charles was then in person in the West, raising new For∣ces, whose Presence had such influence on those Parts, especially on the Club-men (who were thereby made bold in their Meetings, and received Commissions under his High∣nesse hand and seal, to form themselves into Regiments) that it was no little addition of Reputation to that Army.

The Parliament (not thinking it safe to spare the new raised Army under his Excellencie Sir Thomas Fairfax, to attend the great bu∣sines of the VVest, and leave the Parliament, City, and Association without a Guard, and the Royal Army about Oxford, unattended:) Designed onely the remaining Regiments of the Earl of Essex's, and Sir VVilliam VVallers Horse, which were not reduced into the New-Model, to busie the Enemy in the West; viz. Of Sir VVil. VVallers, Colonel Cooks, Colonel Fitz-James, Colonel Popham, and the Plimouth Regiment. Of the Earl of Essex's, the Relicts of Colonel Beer's, and Colonel D Albiers Regiments under Lieu. Colonel Buller, assigned over to Major-Gen. Massey: which Re∣giments were formed into a Bri∣gade, and designed under the Command of Major-Gen. Massey for the Western parts, but a lit∣tle before the Battel of Naseby.
