all
as
they

,
to

And

it
was
;
that
the
Troopes
,

Horse
and
Men

the

mistooke
his
way
,
and
for
feare
did
hide
his
Carriage
in
a
Close

and
the
Forces
of
Banbury
and
the
Countrey
comming
to
Croton
presently
upon
it
,
they
forced
him
to
discover

,
and
so
hee
brought

were
hidden
:
viz.
writings
(

thinke

cloathes
,
&c.
which
they
tooke
,
and
they
carried
the
man
and
all
these
to
Banbury
.
Old
Burburough
was
one
of
them
who
did
find
these
matters
,
and
hee
carried
the
man
behind
him
last
night
through
Aynoh
to
Banbury
;
meane
while
all
the
residue
of
the
Country
went
to
Brackley
to
secure
the
Towne
,
and
from
thence
did
put
themselves
into
a
March
,
and
pursued
the
Troopes
which
were
gone
on
the
way
towards
Oxford
,
and
on
the
way
they
tooke
their
Trumpetter
and

the
Company
,
whom
they
brought
this
morning
through
