Noble Sir , MY Lord Generall not having time , give me leave to present you with a short Relation of Gods late merciful dispensation towards our Army : On Saturday night we came to Kineton with twelve Regiments of Foot , and about fourty Troops of Horse , some of our Horse and Foot were behinde to bring on our Traine and Ammunition from VVorcester : On the Lords day morning we had certaine intelligence that the Kings Forces were making towards us ; whereupon order was given to draw forth our Forces with as much speed as we could : The Kings Forces came down Edgworth Hill about five thousand Horse and thirteen thousand Foot , as the Lord VVilloughby , who is prisoner , saith ; they got advantage of Hill and wind ; we had not in the Field above thirty Troops of Horse , the rest being quartered further off came not in ; About twelve of the clock the Cannon began to play on both sides , and about an hour after horse and foot fell to it in earnest : our left wing upon the second firing fled basely , and the right wing of horse led by Prince Robert chased them , and it seemes thinking the day their own , fell presently to plunder our Waggons , and killing the servants , even unto women and children which attended them , but our foot and the rest of the horse followed it so close , that they wholly cut off the flower of their foot , the Kings red Regiment , and two or three other Regiments , besides many of their horse ; took many of their Colours , the Kings Standard , some Peeces of their Ordnance , drave them to retire up the Hill , slew the Lord Jo. Steward , Sir Edmund Varney , one of the Lunsfords , and other Commanders , Took Prisoners the Earl of Lindsey their Generall , who since is dead , his Sonne the Lord VVilloughby , Sir Edward Stradling , Colonell Vavasour , and Colonell Lunsford , with other Officers . My Lord kept the Field till about three of the clock in the morning , and then retreated to the Towne ; Next morning the Kings Army appeared upon the Hill , and we took the Field again , but it seemes they had no minde to receive a Dinner from us , who gave them so bad a Supper : we cannot say that we lost above a hundred of our foot , and a few horse , except the Waggoners and those that attended them ; I know not how many of the Kings are slain : Colonell Lunsford confessed unto me , that three Regiments were wholly cut off : Sure I am , God hath given us a great Victory , and such a one ( to use my Lord Generall his own expression ) that in as much as ever in any , there appeared little of man and much of God . For a day or two we are refreshing our Army hereabouts , and then , God-willing , we shall be fit for further service . VVhat order you shall receive from my Lord will come from a better hand , and I will trouble you no further , but recommend you to God , and write my selfe Your loving friend and servant , STEPHEN MARSHALL .
