A GREAT Over-throw Giuen to Sir Ralph Hopton's whole Army by Sir William Waller neere Farnham with onely sixe Troope of Horse and some Foote the rest of his Army being stated in severall quarters in other places With many Remarkable Passages which deserue euerlasting memory LONDON Printed for Iohn Hammon This is Licensed and entred in Stationers Hall according to order 1643. A Great Over-throw given to Sir Ralph Hopton's whole Army by Sir William Waller c. ON Tuesday last being the 28th of November one thousand sixe hundred forty three Sir William Waller having stated his Army in severall Quarters to prevent the passage of Sir Ralph Hopton into Surry and Kent which he hath much laboured for ever since he came to those parts Sir Ralph Hopton marched with the whole body of his Army towards Farnham where Sir William Waller then was having onely sixe troops of his Horse then present with him besides the Foot the rest were quartered at other places but Sir VVilliam VValler having a watchfull eye about him had some Scouts which first discovered this great Army of the Cavalliers marching towards him the which caused Sir VVilliam VValler to addresse himselfe to fight and accordingly ordered the station of his Army Sir VVilliam let the Cavalliers march up very close to him before hee would take notice that he had discryed them and then let fly a peece of Ordnance against them which did good execution and after that another the Cavalliers let not many bullets fly against our Army before they began to retreat and as they retreated Sir VVilliam Waller marched uppon them but through the losse of many men in few houres the Cavalliers began to retreat in great disorder so long that Sir William VValler marched up to their dead Corps where many horse lay dead and the Riders by their countenance and habit seemed to be of worth but by this time which was about two of the clocke in the after noone the Cavalliers began to fly some one way some another but the greatest part of them towards Basing Sir VVilliam VValler having no more but sixe troopes to pursue them which did notwithstanding follow on as full of vallour and tourage as ever and the service which his horse did in the pursuite of them was most wonderfull and the Fight most desperate yet did nothing daunt their resolutions Sir VVilliam pursued them five miles and is still in the pursuite of them Sir VVilliam Waller hath slain in this fight many hundreds of the Cavalliers amongst which it is thought there are many Commanders and by the Prisoners that Sir VVilliam VValler hath taken It is reputed that they saw Sir Ralph Hopton carried away as if he had beene dangerously wounded there is but one man yet missing in our Army and very few hurt Sir VVilliam Waller is still in Pursuit of them and is resolved with his whole Army not to leave them although they be already routed but followes the Execution against them so close that he will not permit them if it be possible any time to gather to an Head againe in any place Newes beeing come by a Letter from Sir William Waller to the Speaker of the House of Commons on Wednesday the 29 of November 1643. the Parliament then being at St. Margarets Westminster hearing Master Bridges to preach the Fast Sermon in the afternoone which Letter certifying that Sir William Waller had routed Sir Ralph Hopton and given him so great an Overthrow with so small a strength there was great rejoycing and after the Sermon was done the House of Commons went to the Parliament House and there sate very late One thing very remarkable is this That as Master Bridges was preaching unto them this Doctrine viz. Though God doe suffer the Enemies of his Church to be Great and exceeding many yet God will raise up a Power to withstand and Over-power them Euen at that very instant this Message came in a Letter from Sir William VValler to the Speaker as if God was pleased to send our Senators a signe from Heaven of the certainty of the fullfilling of his promises FINIS
