THis day (being the Lords-day) after Forenoon Sermon, the Generall called a Councell of VVar, and agreed to Storm immediatly; parties were drawn out to fall on in their severall Posts; and whilest the Coun­cell of VVar was sitting, the Gunner with round shot brake the Draw-Bridge, which immediatly fell down; our Souldiers without order, or staying for their Ladders, fell on, beat the Enemy from their works into the Church and Ca­stle, who took down their bloody Flag, and cryed for quarter: Col: Talbot, Son to Sir Sherington Talbot, Major Sadler a Renegado, and twenty Commanders more, and above Two hundred common Souldiers are prisoners, Four piece of Ordnance, great store of Ammunition: Our men gave quarter, though they blew up some of our men in the Church. I never see men more resolved then they were at this time: This place is of great use to us; not onely in order to the straight­ning of Exeter, but to secure any Ammunition, &c. that shall be sent us, and keeps the passe open to Plimouth. To morrow the Army marches; Gorings Horse being gone towards Plimouth: I am Sir,

This Bearer was an Eye-witnesse of our Souldiers entring and carriage.
