Lambert is now about Perith and Langdalo at Carlile in case he be flighted he may step into Scotland You would little think what joy would be in Scotland to heare that the English Army were drawing Northerly and how soon hereupon they in Scotland would be formidable against the forward party for England The Lord Balmerino plundred for not taking armes and some killd the like meanes is used to others and that this War may be charged on by Sea and Land their is past lately towards Scotland a fleet of 14 sayle The Admirall of them is Mr. John Gilapsby as they passed they gave Barwick a salute they came from Holland brought ammunition other necessaries for War Many of Langdales men run from him 3 Ministers 15 of the Countrimen that came with petitions to Edenburg against the War are imprisoned From the present state of affaires in Scotland appeares a War in England but sure not so dangerous as to fright into any unsound accord if circumstances be weighed and powers on each side considered Sir Upon the 16. of this instant Major Sparrow joyned with part of the Lieutenant Generalls Regiment having notice of about 500. foot and 100. horse about Walden resolved to dispute their quarters but upon arrivall found the birds were flown about 3 in the afternoon to a place called Hinton a small market Town in Cambridgeshire 4. miles from thence their wearinesse inviting them to a refreshment for certain houres and therefore resolved to take what pleasure a grasse Close within a mile of Walden and a rainy night would afford the entertainment of the place affords them little encouragement to stay and therefore they advance with the Phosphers first dawning to Walden the resolute forlorn advances and Captain Wallington with the Lieut.
