Whereunto is annexed severall remarkeable passages concerning the cavaliers behaviour, since their abode in Oxfordshire.

A true relation of the proceedings of the Cavaliers in severall parts of this Kingdome.

THe malitious malignant party, the Ca∣valiers of Cornwall, that dayly march under the command of the Lord Mo∣hone, doth hourely doe mischiefe in those parts, without remorse or pitty, that you would scarce imagine or believe, they will not suffer them to plowe their Grounds to sowe their Graine, but with their Horses they destroy it, they go to their Barnes and lodge their Horses there and plucke downe their Stackes of Corne to feed their Beasts, and throw it about to make Fodder of, and when they leave the place, they set them all on fire, swearing no Corne shall grow untill the Warre be done, nay the very Churches they make Stables of, is not this barbarous and inhumane.

On the twenty-eygth of November, at Foy in Corn∣wall, certaine Cavaliers comming thither to be bil∣lited, the Towne did kindly entertaine them on this condition, to pay for what they had, the Cap∣taines and Commanders tooke their oathes, no soul∣diet that marched under their command, should be

so base but pay for what he had, and so they did, there remayning three dayes.

The fourth, they gave the Towne notice of their departure and their Drumes about for to give notice that if any were unpayde of any Soul••ier let them repayte to their Captaines, and they should be sa∣tisfied, none came all was discharged, and for their welcome each place where they had layne, did feast them gratis with great thankes, the word being gi∣ven among them, they fell to plundering breaking open Trunkes, chests and boxes, tooke all their plate and money they could find, and told them they did but borrow it, when the warre was done, they would pay it back againe, and thus and in this man∣ner, doe these wretched catives these Cavaliers in∣rich themselves by making others poore.

At Lawson getting in with the like wild they likewise plundred that, all but of their owne religi∣on that are yet secure, they have stuft the Papists houses with the Protestants goods, and like the De∣vill they cry all is there owne, swearing and dam∣ing, blaspheming and cursing that they will up to the King in spight of opposition and for the City of London they intend, there for to keepe their Chrst∣mas, and make the Citizens wayte upon their trenchers, but for the Roundheads, as they so terme them, they will send them pell mell to their father the devil, thee sweare they will build in every street a crosse, to crosse those that survive; therefore I hope the City will provide to give them entertain∣ment let them have bullets but their bellies full, and they will be quiet Questionlesse, thus hoping

of your safety, and your welfares, with my prayers to God for your peace, and the Cavaliers destructi∣on, I rest yours till death,
