A Letter to Major Generall Browne , read in the Honourable House of Commons , &c. Honourable Sir ,

THE last night I had intelligence the Enemie was dr●wne out of Oxford , and gave out , that they ●id int●nd to plunder Newnham , wherefore I sent to Collonel Betsworth , to desire him to draw his Horse towards Abingdon , which hee did ; but e●rly this morning wee had intelligence that six hundred Horse marched out of Oxon through Conmer and Fifield ; whereupon I Commanded forth our Horse and Dragoones , and marched with Collonel Bettsworth after the Enemie , and it pleased God to direct us , that wee found them at Farringdon , and quartered in the Townes thereabouts ; Wee had gallant hunting them from place to place over the Hills , and pursued them into Farringdon Town , and afterwards wee discovered a good partie of about two hundred , betweene the two Coxwells , who ranne downe into a Meadow , and would have parlyed to surrender their Horse and Armes , but our men fell on them , and tooke them all save very few that escaped : Afterwards wee gleaned up divers more in severall places , so that I am confident , that partie is so broken , that the King will scarce bee able to get such a body of Horse againe in the Kingdome ; Wee tooke above three hundred Horse , and almost as many prisoners , there was brought in this evening about two hundred and fifty into Abingdon , the Major and most of the Officers of Sir William Comptons Regiment belonging to Banburie are prisoners , it was esteemed the best Regiment the King had , and the newes of their ingagement being reported at Oxon this day , that they would come off with honour or be lost , they sadly replyed , if that Regiment were lost , they were all undone .

Sir , I desire your advice about sending up some of these and other Prisoners formerly taken , many of them offer to take the Covenant , some would take up armes here , others desire to goe home into their owne Country , I suppose if your Honour thinke fit it will doe well to send up three hundred of them . There are some Irish men taken , which I doe intend to hang up to morrow morning .

I shall take it for an expression of your love if I may receive some satisfactory answer to my Letters formerly sent , and I shall make it my endeavour to deserve your favour and remaine .

Abington Aprill . 3. 1646. Sir your most humble & faithfull servant , Geo : Payne .

There was but one man slaine on our parts and not many of the enemies .

FINIS .
