A LETTER SENT FROM THE LEAGVER BEFORE HULL . SIR ,

I Put this Letter to the hazard of a quicke passage , leaving it to take its fortune at the Post-house . The News most spoken of at this time , is , That Sir John Hotham by his vigilancie hath obtained foure great peece of Ord●ance from the Cavelliers , and taken the Lord Faulconbridge , a Peer of the Lords House , and Mr. Bellassis , a Member of the House of Commons , prisoners at the same time ; both which persons have been most active in this their native Countie , by their example to draw on all the rest of the Gentrie to engage themselves against the Parliament , and the proceedings thereof ; finding both horse and men in this service against Hull . They were going over Humber in a Catch with these foure peeces of Ordnance , in hope to have landed them in Linconshire side , and to have planted them there opposite to the Battery at Paul : there were certain great sadle horses in the same Catche , and divers other gentlemen , young Mr. Hotham , as I hear , made out of Hull in a small frigot , with foure small Peeces , and fifty Musketiers , and boarded them in their passage ; If the Town hold out well till Friday next , the Spring-tyde will make the Besiegers leave their Trenches : Its pitie if they have no fresh supplies of men and provision sent unto them , whereof as yet we hear not , but are confident the Parliament will not be slow in their relief , it concerns them . We are troubled at the great resort of Papists hither , we the more distaste the proceedings , because of their forwardnesse to interest themselves : theirs , and the entertainment of Commanders out of Ireland , some Popish from beyond Sea , especially of the Lord Dillon , and Collonel Taffote ( Rebels come from Ireland , who are all active against Hull ) much reflects upon his Majesties often expressions , cools our affections , and fils us with doubtings . One Thornton ( a Protestant of the last edition ) expell'd Hull by Sir John Hotham , is now made Captain of a Troop : last day he with his Souldiers rode to Anlaby ( a little way off Hull ) there plundred and pillaged Lieutenant Collonel Legards house ; whereof Legard hearing , plunders Thorntons house at Hull : whereupon Thornton drives Legards grounds of all his oxen , horses , kine , sheep , &c. Then Captain Jefford with sixtie Musketiers , makes after Thornton and his prize , Thornton perceiving this , fled , and left his bootie : and because his Troops would not loose his company , they rode after him : Jefford prayed him , if he were a gentleman , that the Souldiers on both sides might be dismissed , and they two end the quarrell . But Thornton refused , declaring it was a vain proposition . You shall hear further as opportunitie serves . Farewill .

From the Leguer before HULL , Iuly 13. 1641. Yours , T. S.
