"Our desire is to represent what the sword of the enemy hath done, after many conflicts in divers places of the North of the Kingdome, whereby great numbers have fallen, and the enemy, despicable in the beginning, had encreased in strength and boldness; at last, in the very bowels of the Kingdome: He hath so farre prevailed, that not onely thousands of the best affected have lost their lives, and divers of them taken prisoners, but also our whole Army and Forces are put to the worst and scattered. Such as were most zealous of the Covenant and Cause of God (having no Armies on foot to joyne with, nor Garrisoned Townes for places of refuge) are forced to fly for their lives, and to leave their habitations, possessions, and all that they have in the world to the cruelty and spoile of the enemy."- pp. 11-12.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall
