SIR AFter my love presented unto you , I shall acquaint you , withall the sad disasters , that is like to befall us in these parts , And such as will bring Ruine to this Kingdome , if such distractions as these continue ; which GOD of his infinite mercy prevent , and bring to a happy Conclusion . Upon Satterday at night Iuly 3. one Master Murrey of the Bed Chamber , came Post to the KING , and brought Newes of a Pinnace , that was sent from the Queene at Amsterdam , ( loaden with Money and Ammunition for His Majesties use ) which was intercepted at the mouth of Humber by one of the Kings Shipps called the May-flower , who brought her downe the River of Humber , to a place called Paul , within 4. miles of Hull , the May-flower casting anckor there , intended to search her , but she having 2. Pilots of Hull within her , who knew all places thereabouts , got in at a small Creeke neere to the Towne of Paul , where the Kings Shipp could not follow her , by reason of the shallow water , and after she had sayled 4. Miles up the Creeke , into Holdernesse , she rune her selfe a shoare , and there landed 6. Peeces of her Ordinance for her defence , and Planted them , least Sir John Hotham should surprise her out of Hull . Which His Majesty had no sooner intelligence of , but on Sunday Morning at 4. a Clocke , He sent 3. Trumpeters into all parts of the City , to Summon 2. Troopes of Horse , one of which was called the Princes Troope , and Commanded , by Sir Thomas Dallyson , and Captaine Byron , Brother to Sir Iohn Byron , late Lievetenant of the Tower of London ; The other was Commanded by Captaine Iackson , These Troopes was to meet at the Court Gate , by 8. of the Clocke that Morning , who was all sent towards Hull , where this shipp lay , to protect her from violence . On Munday Morning , Iuly 4. 300. of the Souldiers that were Billetted in Yorke , was sent after these Troops of Horse to Beverley , where they are Quartered . Upon Tuesday Iuly 5. The Lord Digby came to the Court at Yorke , who was Entertained by His Majesty , but the Lords seem to be discontented therewith : This day severall Troopes of Horse and Foote was sent after the rest to Beverley . Wednesday Iuly the sixth the King with three Lords in his Coach , took his iourney to Beverley at four a clock in the morning to see the Ammunition which came from Holland , but he returned again at night , this night newes was brought to the King that Sir Iohn Hotham had seized upon all the sheepe and cattle within foure miles of Hull , and carryed them into the Towne , And he had let in the sea , and drowned the Countrey within three miles about the Town , in regard his Majesty had resolved to beseige him in Hull , This afternoone three Proclamations was put forth by the King , one for the forbidding all Ammuniton and provision to be carried into Hull for their releif , the other for a generall pardon to all the Officers and Souldiers in Hull , that would submit , lay downe their Armes , and come to His Maiesty , and that they should be entertained and have a months pay before hand , the third , for not removing any Magazine within the Kingdome , by any ordinance of Parliament without consent of his Maiesty . Thursday was a great meeting of light Horse on Heyworth Moore , who was formerly summoned by His Maiesty to meet this day from severall places of this County , and had order from his Maiesty to repair towards Hull , the Earle of Cumberland and Westmerland hath commission to raise all the forces they can both of horse and foot , within the west riding of this shire , and to imprison those that refuse to obey their Commission . This day being the 7th . of Iuly the King with a great power both of Horse and foot , accompanyed with divers Lords and above 300 Gentlemen and Cavaliers took his Iourney again to Beverley ; and hath beseiged Hull with 6000 Horse and Foote , who lies about Beverley , and have begun to intrench themselves about the Towne , which trenches are foure or five miles off Hull and upon them they have planted the 6 peeces of Ordnance they took out of the ship that is run ashore , they are making a passage to drayn the water away out of the Meddowes which Sir Iohn Hotham had drowned , this last night Sir Iohn Hotham made 40 shot with great Ordnance against the Batteries which was making by the Kings Forces , but not a shot could reach them , only one bullet from a Basilisco came very neere a Gentleman who was within 2. miles of the Towne , who was in great danger to have beene slaine ; 4. Peeces of Ordinance more is planted upon a Cliffe neere the Town of Paul to hinder all succour and releife from going by Water to Hull ; Also the Earle of Lindsey hath mounted some peeces of Ordinance at Barton on Humber , below Hull , to stoppe the passage on that side of the town , It is generally reported here , that the King intends to starve them by stopping all passages of reliefe both by Sea and Land , the King hath caused a spring to bee cut of , which runs into the Town , that it is to be feared they will want fresh water , for the Towne affords but little , and not very good , it is also reported the King will not return back to Yorke , before he hath taken Hull , great forces both of Horse and Foot dayly resort towards Hull , Sir Iohn Gotherick a Yorkeshire Knight hath given 20 Horse to this designe , Sir Ralph Hopton , of Somersetshire and a Parliament man lately , hath given six Horse , The Earle of Kingstone in Nottingham-shire proffers to lend the King a hundred thousand pound , at four per centum , most of the Gentry of Yorkeshire and Lancashire assists the King with men and Horse . Many People within this City , sticke not to say they hope now Sir Iohn Hotham will bee Hanged , divers scandalous speeches are in the mouthes of a great many ( both Caveliers and others ) against the Parliament , with strang libells against them and their Proceedings , to conclude , greate are the feares and troubles this Kingdome is likely to fall into , if these distractions continue , Poore people in divers places complaines of the decay of Trading , which will bring Ruine upon them , the Lord deliver us from civill Warrs , and setle peace and Unity amongst us , Your assured Friend P. H. Yorke Iuly the Ninth . 1642.
