EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

¶ A happy defeat given to a party of the Kings Forces neere Typton green, by the Earle of Denbigh. SIR,

BY reaſon of the ſteepeneſſe of the hill that wee cut our paſſage for our Ordnance for a battery, and the rockineſſe of the ground; we have a toileſome time, yet my Lord of Denbie, plies the ſervice hard, and is mightily with them in the workes, toe encourage them till breake of day, expoſing himſelfe to all hazards, truly he is a galant man, and (beyond all ever was imagined) carries on all conquering with love as wel as Armes, even overcoming his enemies, the King Prince, and Duke of Yorke, were on Monday Iune 6 at Everſham, and that is 16 miles from us, we have taken ſome priſoners ſuppoſed to goe towards Prince Rupert: we laſt night Iune 6, received Letters from Stafford on Aven, from Coventry Forces to my Lord. That the King was marched towards Worceſter, and that the Parliaments foote were quartered in their Reare 8 miles diſtant, and their horſe were appearing on kills three miles from Eaſome, and that the horſe march with ſpeede after them.

Subſcribed Purfrey, Colmer, Willowby,

I hope you ſhall heare we have diſpatched here ere long; and are marched into Cheſhire with Sir Thomas Middleton now with us, and Colonell Mitton to recover thoſe parts.

Worthy Sir, From the Leaguer before Dudley June the 10

ON Saturday laſt we received a Letter from Sir Wil. Waller, wherein he writes to my Lord of Denbigh to joine with him to purſue his Majeſty in the Reare, who is in a retreating poſture, his Maieſty was at Eaſome then: Yeſterday wee had intelligence he was at Bewdly, and Kitterminſter his ſoote 8 miles from us, we quartered all our horſe, my Lords and Sir Thomas his horſe at Sturbridge, Hales-owen, Rowly, and as neere them as conveniently may be, for they make good Beudly bridge with free Quarter there; this morning wee have intelligence, Sir Wiliam Waller is about Holt Caſtle in Worceſterſhire, the King moves on the other ſide Severne: Laſt night we called after ſermon a Councell of war, to confult what was beſt to do: whether to continue our ſiege; or to remove to be gone to goe to Wem, becauſe wee heare the King is going to Shrewsbury, (for us to relieve Wem.) And it was reſolved by the moſt votes, in regard ſir Thomas Middleton was ingaged to Cheſhire forces, and muſt draw off his forces, that it is not ſafe for my Lord to continue the ſiege, but to march toward Wem; and joyne in a body to follow the King, or fall in the Reare of Prince Rupert: The caſtle laſt night pretended a parley with us, and let down a letter with a piece of lead, which was thus.

You are immediatly to depart you Traytours and Rebels, or to morrow you ſhall be forced to leave your Artillery behind you, and you ſhall have no quarter: for wee are reſolved to chaſtiſe you for your inſolencies.

From his Majeſties Caſtle of Dudley. I. BEAUMONT.

The ſaid Beaumont commands in chief. They called yea Dogs, give us an anſwer, At which we fired three peeces of Ordnance on them. We remove not this day to experience their brava, does, but I think we ſhall march away ſuddenly. My Lord writ to ſir Will. Waller to join with him.

Another Letter dated Iune 12. 1644. Worthy Friend.

IT is the Lords renewed mercie to me I am now alive, to write to you of this daies occurrences for we have been in as hot ſervice, as ever I ſaw this day, and through Gods mercie came off with admired honour, from the mouths of our enemies, I can truly ſay I know not who in his place was defective in his duty and 〈…〉 . We had the firſt Alarme about two a clock in the morning, but it was eight ere all our horſe could be got from their Quartrrs into the field about nine of the clock they faced us, and we them, and in the meane time hearing that they were 4000 horſe beſides foote, we drew out our Ordnance which were neere engaged with much toil and our foote; we drew our Ordnance to Tipton Greene with much difficulty, the way almoſt with this raine made impaffible, where being drawne up my Lord deſiſired Sir Tho Middleton with Cup Keme his troop & Cap. T • mſon to lead the Van, and Col: Ridgly the Reare. Col. Mitten and Captain Keme two gallant Commanders of valient Spirits, commanded two forlorne hopes in the van of the Carrages, each of them one. We had not marched ha • fe a mile but the enemie had ambuſheadoed the hedges, and then their body of horſe appeared in the lane, ſo that we were called to draw up, but before we came that were of that forlorne hope: Colonell Bartons Troope, Captain Keme, and Captain Noaks, Captain Tompſons, charged them ſo fiercely, that paſsing with ſome little loſſe, our ambuſh routed their horſe, killed three ſcore in the lane, their horſe retreating, their ambuſheadors fled, the foote ſeeing that, purſued them deſperately, and fired gallantly, My Lord Denbigh deported himſelfe with much gallantrie, leading the foote himſelfe, he ſaid he had rather loſe 10 lives, had he them to loſe, then one piece of his Artillerie and although our carriages broke twice, yet we made them good, beate them from them, and have brought off all bleſſed be God, Captaine Kenae had one man loſt, and another ſhot through, who fought bravely, and Captain Kemes own horſe ſhot in the head, Captain Thompſon of ours is ſhot in the cheeke, Captain Lieutenant Farrer, Sir Thomas his Captain Lievtenant of horſe, in the nec Captaine Clever ſlaine, who fought valiantly after the w •• , wounded in the arme; yet charged again and was ſhot in the belly. Captaine Turtows Lievtenant is ſhott through.

In all wee have loſt eight men, about 20 wounded, the fight laſted from two of the clock till five, as fierce ſirings as you ever heard, we kild about 100 of them in all and it is credibly reported, wounded many more, their word was Worceſter, ours God, King, and Parliament. They curſt their men for cowards, and ſaid Denbighs baſtards fight like devils, they were two for our own, wee jointly deſire God may have the glory of all, Captain Bray was ſhot in the mouth of our party, there was Generall Wilmot, Wentworth, Lord Cleveland, with them Colonell Sands, &c. They all came to relieve the Papiſts with might and main, but we ſent them back with powder.

We are now, bleſſed be God, at Walfall, where we are in expectation of another touch this night, God prepare us for it.

Never could any Generall behave himſelfe better then my Lord did, and all Officers and Souldiers did ſtirre equally to ſhare in honour, my Lord and Sir Thomas came up and gave all thanks: The fight ended, Captaine Keme commanded the Van, and bleſſed be God hath lodged all the Artillery ſafe in the Town, nor would my Lord come off the Rear till all was ſafe up, wee wiſht Sir William Waller in their Rear, and Captain Keme diſpatched his man to that purpoſe, laſt night: June 11, with a Letter from my Lord, but I fear he is taken, they came ſo quickly on, wee took many Priſoners, two Cornets or horſe Colours, one is a red Bull in a white field roaring, one Captain Keight a Cloceſterſhire Gentleman (of horſe) his father is high Sheriffe: I believe there have few ſieges been) raiſed in a more gallant way.

 From Walfall, June 12, at ten a clock at night.

Sir, Captain Keme tooke priſoner a Spy with a Warrant from Lievtenant Colonel Beaamont, I have ſent you the copie, it was on the Lords day to ſummon Fidlers to make them merry, as you may ſee by this incloſed.

 To the chief Muſician in Dudley Caſtle.

THeſe are to will and require you to bring all your inſtruments of Muſicke, eſpecially your loud Muſick and repair to his Majeſties Caſtle at Dudley. If any of you ſhall fail, I will not fail to fire his or their houſes for their diſrepects.

Fom his Majeſties Caſtle at Dudley. J. Beamont.
