TO THE HONORABLE WILLIAM LENTALL Esq Speaker of the Honorable House of Commons . Mr. Speaker , BEsides the Generall account , I have already given , by one of my servants whom I sent up to London yesterday , I thought fit to send this bearer Mr. Boles , who may more particularly informe you . Concerning the abundant goodnesse of God to this army , and the whole Kingdome in the late victory , obtained at Naseby Field : The whole body of their foote taken and slaine , such a list of the prisoners , could be made up in this short time I have sent , the horse all quitted the field , and were pursued within three miles of Leicester : their Ammunition , Ordnance , and carriages , all taken , among which there were , two Demy Cannons , a whole Culverin and a Morter peece besides lesser peeces : We intend to move to Leicester , as soone as we have taken Order with our prisoners , and wounded men : all that I desire , is , that the honour of this great never to be forgotten mercy , may be given to God in an extraordinary day of thanksgiveing ; And that it may be improved to the good of his Church , and this kingdome : which shall be faithfully endevoured by , Sir Your most humble servant , THOMAS FAIRFAX . Harborough Iune 15. 1645. Major Gen. Skiypo● was shot through his side ; but notwithstanding he continued in the field with great resolution ; And when I desired him to goe off the field . He answered , hee would not goe so long as a man would stand , still doing his Office as a valiaut and wise Commander . Also Colonell Butler , and Colonell Iretan upon their first charge were both dangerously wonnded , behaving themselves very gallantly , if I could enter into particulars ; much ought be spoken of the resolution and courage of many Commanders both horse and foote , in this dayes service . Some Irish are among the prisoners as I am informed , I have not time to make inquiry into it ; I desire they may be proceeded against above , according to Ordinance of Parliament . For the Honourable William Lenthall Speaker of the Commons House of Parliament . SIR , BEing comanded by you to this service , I thinke my selfe bound to aquaint you with the good hand of God towards you , and us , we marched yesterday after the King who went before us from Daventry to Haverbrow , and quartered about six miles from him , this day we marched towards him , He drew out to meet us , both Armies engaged , we after three howers fight , very doubtfull , at last routed his Army , killed and tooke about five thousand , very many Officers , but of what quality we yet know not , we tooke also about two hundered Carriages all he had , and all his Guns , being twelve in number , whereof two were Demie-Cannon , two Demie-Culverins , ( and I thinke ) the rest Sacres , we persued the enemy from three miles short of Harbrough to nine beyond , even to sight of Leicester whether the King fled . Sir this is none other but the hand of God , and to him alone belongs the Glory , wherein none are to share with him , the Generall served you with all faithfullnesse and honour , and the best commendations I can give him is , that I dare say he attributes all to God , and would rather perish then assumne to himselfe , which is an honest and a thriuing way , and yet as much for brauery may be given to him in this action , as to a man . Honest men served you faithfully in this action , Sir they are trusty , I beseech you in the name of God not to discourage them , I wish this action may beget thankefullnesse , and humility in all that are concerned in it , he that venters his life for the liberty of his Country I wish he trust God for the liberty of his conscience , and you for the liberty he fights for , in this he rests who is , Your most humble Servant , Oliver Crumwell . 14 Iune 1645 Haverbrow . For the Honourable William Lenthall Esquire , Speaker to the House of Commons . SIR , THis morning by day break we marched out of Guil●borow after the Enemy , after an houres march , we discovered their Horse drawne up at Sybbertoft three miles this side Ha●borough , an houre after their Foote appear'd , this was about eight in the morning , by ten we were dispos'd into a battalia on both sides , both sides with mighty shoutes exprest a hearty desire of fighting , having for our parts recommended our cause to Gods protection and receiued the word , which was God our strength , theirs Queene Mary , our forlorne hopes began the p●ay whiles both sides labour'd for the hill and wind , which in conclusion was as it were equally devided , our forlorne hope gaue back , and their right wing of Horse fell upon our left with such gallantry that ours were immediately routed , aboue a thousand ran a long with them , but such was the courage and diligence of the right wing back't with the Foote , that they not onely beat back the enemy from their Traine , but fell in with their Foot and after two houres dispute won all the field-peices ( of which some are Cannon ) most of their Badgage , Morter peices , Boates , nine thousand Armes much powder and match , &c. And nigh foure thousand prisoners their number was about twelve thousand , some six hundered slaine , many Commanders of note , of ours not aboue one hundered , our Horse are still in pursuite and have taken many of theirs , the Standerd is ours , the Kings Wagon and many Ladies . God Almighty give us thankefull hearts for this great Victory , the most absolute as yet obtained , the Generall . Lieutenant-Generall Cromwell , and Major Generall Skippon ( who is shot in the side , but not dangerous ) did beyond expression gallantly , so did all our other Commanders and Souldiers , we haue lost but two Captaines , though this come late , be pleased to accept it from , Your Honours most humble Servants , Har.
