A FULL RELATION OF THE TAKING OF BATH And other proceedings of Sir Thomas Fairfax since he marched out of Bridgwater SIR AS I gave you an account of the taking of Bridgwater so God multiplying his mercies upon us we having taken in Bath also I shall briefly give you an account thereof only I cannot omit something yet behind of Bridgwater for we have found six peeces of Ordnance which the enemy had hid and there is left besides what was destroyed by the fier 44. barrels of gunpowder and 4000 weight of match On Satterday last Sir Thomas Fairfax marched out of Bridgwater Lievtenant Generall Crumwell hath been ill but God be thanked mends that night we marched to Marstock about nine miles on the way to Sherburn where we quartered that night and Sunday night On the Lords day wee heard that Rupert had beene himselfe in person the day before at Bath with Sir Tho. Bridges to encourage him to keep it against us promising him reliefe in case he should be besieged On Munday the 28. of July 1645. the Generall marched to Sherborne about fourteen miles from Martock Major Generall Massie was left further west And the same day viz. Munday about 60 horse most Welch came from Prince Rupert to strengthen Bath and other Officers with them to governe the Towne because that P. Rupert had found when hee was there two dayes before that Sr. Thomas Bridges was quite out of heart to keep it for the very name of Sir Thomas Fairfax strikes a terrour to the enemy But when they were come into Bath the Towne cryed out as one man all against the Welch No Welch no Welch Neither did Sir Thomas Bridges take it well that he should bee displaced and another put in which caused a great division in the Towne that the Officers and Horse would not stay to dispute it yet neverthelesse some Welch stayed in the Towne which did much displease both the Governour the Officers the Townsmen yea and the Garrison souldiers also On Tuesday the Generall sent 2. Regiments of horse and two Troops of Dragoons under the Command of Colenell Rich to view and give account of the condition of the Garrison of Bath then held by Sir T. Bridges for the King The Army removed to Wells Col. Pickering is with a party before Sherborn a nest of most mischevous vermine under whom the countrey hath much suffered and by whom before we came thither some of our owne messengers have been taken and our letters intercepted the countrey do wholly complain against them for very great plunderers and barbarous neighbours We made on towards Bath having no foot at all with us onely the aforesaid two Regiments of horse and 2. Companies of Dragoons and about an hour before sun-set the South side was close beset the Dragoones lay about Holliwell and we kept them on the South and on the west parts of the towne But the north part of the towne lay open for we came not to block them up nor had we forces to do it then present there The Enemie might have gone away on the North part of the towne in despight of all that we could do to hinder them but God did so infatuate them that they had not power as in our former victories so particularly in this taking of Bath the hand of God was much seene for us About Sun set we gained Holliwell and placed our Dragoones within halfe Pistoll shot of the Gate on the Bridge at Bath where there was some skirmishing and the Dragoones behaved themselves very gallantly In the Night the Enemie within took several Alarmes and were in great fear of us I conceive they knew not our strength onely before had some intelligence of the advance of our Armie On this present Wednesday morning the Enemie heard of a party from Malsbury on the North side of them but they were not Considerable but they were strucke with such a fear that Sir Tho. Bridges sent a Messenger very early forth of Bath to us to desire a parly which we wondred at so we presently held a parly with them and by Sun rising had the Garrison of Bath delivered up to us upon very good Conditions 1. All Both officers and souldiers to have quarter for their lives 2. That Sir Thomas Bridges and all the Officers be permitted to march away to Bristoll without let or molestation 3. That Sir Thomas Bridges and all other Field officers and Captaines have liberty to march away with horse and Armes 4. That all Officers under the degree of Captains march away without Arms only staves in their hands to Bristoll 5. That Sir Thomas Bridges with all the Officers asoresaid doe immediatly march out of the Garrison and surrender it to Colonell Rich for the service of tho Parliament 6. That all the Ordnance Armes and Ammunition be surrendred also 7. The common souldiers to be left all prisoners All which was done and we were possest of the Garrison by beak of the day And truly you may think it a strange thing for horse to take a Town and no foot within 15 miles of it but you may see how God infatuates men and possesseth them with a feare that deprives them of wisdome and courage Farly Castle Sir Edward Hungerfords house is also besieged and the whole Army is every where full of action and generally goe on exceeding cheerfully notwithstanding much hard duties and constant service Bristoll is in the same condition you would hardly beleeve the feares they are in there Rupert went out thence yesterday and the town and souldiers in a great perplexity the King hath been long expected there but we heare he stayes still at Cardiffe Castle whether Rupert be returned back againe to Bristoll we doe yet heare but the plague doth certainly abate in that City Goring is still in in his old quarters about Okehampton and confidently expects Greenvils and Hoptons recrutes and the prest men to be 7000 horse and foot The Cornish it is beleeved will doe him little good out of their own County and the forced Clubmen as little as they Some VVelch landed on Munday last at Posets point that came from VVales but I hope care will be taken for the guarding of the Seas especially that River which may so be kept that no boat can passe without difficulty neither in nor out VVe shall suddenly have our recrutes and what else we stay for and then we shall on in our designe In the mean time you see how industrious our Generall is to loose no time whilst he is necessitated to stay and I hope God will goe on to blesse Colonell Pickering against Sherburn as he hath us in the taking of this Garrison of Bath which make a good account of our service in this vacasie Yet in all this we look up to God who is the Lord of Hoasts by whose power we have done those things wherein he hath so blessed us and therefore to him be given the praise of all his power and goodnesse Bath the 30 of Iuly 1645.
