Beſides many, yea very many more found ſla…ne on the places and ground where they fought, but not named or knowne who they were; very many buried by the enemies themſelves▪ in the places where they were ſlaine; and very many thrown into rivers and ſecretly conveyed away out of the Feilds,One hundred and forty Cartloads of dead and wounded at Newbery fight, ſome at Brainford, at Dorcheſter and Cauſham, at Marſton-moore. where they fought before their flight, and totall routs, at leaſt 140. Cart-loads (as was credibly related) of ſlaine and ſorely wounded carried to Oxford from Newburies firſt fight; many Cart-loads carried away, and many buried in Ditches at Brainford fight, many alſo at Dorcheſter and Cauſham fights neare Oxford; many at Marstonmoores famous fight, and very many in many other places, too tedious here to recite, yea impoſſible almoſt to be recited; beſides ſuch as being left behind in the ſields where they fought, who being ſtript appeared plainly to be Gentlemen, and men of extraordinary worth and quality, both by their pure white skins, fine ſhirts, and very rich cloaths, but could not otherwiſe be knowne unto us. And let the intelligent and judicious Reader take this obſervation from this ſhort Catalogue of the (thus) ſlaine on the Kings party, even of thoſe, partly ignorant, and partly malignant enemies and oppoſers of God and his moſt righteous Cauſe, defended by the Parliament, viz. To ſee and take notice of, eſpecially the juſt revenging hand of God upon our Kingdoms Nobility and Gentry, who having been the maine malignant and even Atheiſticall enemies of Religion, of the power of godlineſſe, and of a pure and thorough Reformation, all along, even ever ſince the firſt Infant Reformation in Queene Elizabeths dayes of ever bleſſed memory; I ſay, over the whole Kingdome even to theſe preſent deplorable times. God hath therefore now at length mightily met with them thus, by the Sword of Warre, whom ('tis more than probable) the Sword of Juſtice, in a Legall way, would hardly have, reached (or but ſprincklingly and partially, for feare or affection, or ſuch like …-reſpects, as 'tis much to be feared) and brought to ſevere (yet moſt juſt) death and condigne puniſhment; Of which moſt righteous and remarkable hand of God, more, (yea moſt) immediately (and almoſt miraculouſly) cutting off many of theſe moſt impious and audacious malignant and Atheiſticall enemies of the Parliamentary Cauſe, even in the very act of their deſperate and devilliſh malignity againſt the ſame; whoſoever would ſee more, they may be moſt abudantly ſatisfied, even to admiration and aſtoniſhment, in my Firſt and Second part of A Looking-glaſſe for Malignants, A Lookingglaſſe for Malignants.ſo entituled, printed by Mr. John Rothwell Stationer, at the Signe of the Sun in Pauls Church-yard in London, Anno 1643. and 1645. The like examples whereunto, both for manner, number, and time, no Age or Hiſtory (I am confident) is able to produce, in any part of the world from Adam to this day.

And here alſo I conceive it cannot be improper to our preſent Hiſtory, or impertinent to the yet further manifeſtation of Gods due glory in his worke of Juſtice upon the enemies of his Truth, and the Kingdomes welfare, to give the Reader a briefe Catalogue of all, or the moſt of thoſe Court-Grandees, and rottenhearted Royaliſts, who like ſo many Rats and Mice, fearing the old houſe of their Traiterous Deſignes, was now ready to fall upon their owne heads, to their owne ruine, even that the hand of Juſtice would now lay hold on them, and pay them home for all their formerly purpoſed and practiſed miſcheifes, for the ruinating of the true Proteſtant Religion, and their Mother-Kingdomes precious proprieties, being now, I ſay, by Gods Juſtice on them, made Magor-Miſſabib (Ier. 20. 3.) a terrour to themſelves and their accurſed Copeſmares, and being ſtung with ſelfe-guilt of Conſcience and principally to avoid the avengeing ſtroke of Juſtice, and partly alſo to practice and perpetrate more miſchiefe (if poſſible it might be) againſt the Kingdome abroad, as they had done at home; Now therefore I ſay, like ſo many viperous Vermine, or naughty Nauſeous obſtructions upon the ſtomack of their Native Nation, as moſt trayterous Fugitives, they fled away, being as it were diſgorged and ſpewed out of the Kingdome, as banefull and burthenſome thereunto, and forced to fly into forraigne parts, to prolong a baſe and moſt ſhamefull life, and (without Repentance) to dye a moſt ignoble and deſperate death; the names of whom as neare as I could, I have here I ſay collected together, and were as followeth.

And now alſo, that the Reader (yea even Malignant Momus himſelfe) may ſee my faithfull impartiality in this works, and moſt renowned Hiſtory, I have here thought fit by way of Antitheſts, or Oppoſition, to ſet downe and ſhew forth to open view, a moſt cleare demonſtration of Gods moſt gracious and favourable dealing with the pious Propugnators of his moſt juſt Cauſe, even the precious Patriots of their Religion and Countries Liberties, in collecting (as truly and faithfully as I was able) a Catalogue of the moſt eminent Perſons and Commonders on the Parliaments Party, alſo (as I have done on the Kings) who (in this, the Kingdomes Common calamity) have been taken away (out of this world of wretchedneſſe and valley of teares) by the Sword of the enemy, and ſo have as it were paſſed over by that ſharp bridge, to their long looked for, and heartily hoped for heavenly Cana…n.

Some few more ('tis probable) there might be; but I profeſſe ingeniouſly, and moſt ſincerely, not one more as yet come to my knowledge, or ſpontaneouſly pretermitted by me, in my moſt ſedulous ſearch over the whole Foure Parts of this our Parliamentary Chronologie, which I have diligently done, as well for ſatisfaction to the honeſt-hearted Readers, touching the ſlaine (I ſay) on our ſide, as thoſe on the enemies ſide; in which two ſo vaſtly diſcrepant and largely unequall Catalogues, both for number and quality (though, ours, I confeſſe, eſpecially conſidering ſome of them, as moſt pious Saints and precious Patriots, farre tranſcended the very beſt of the enemies, for ſpirituall waight and worth) the udicious and impartiall religious Reader may ſee, by comparing them both together, how the Lord our moſt righteous and gracious God hath put a difference between the precious and the vile; and yet manifeſting in ſome meaſure (for juſt Cauſes beſt knowne to his owne unſearchable wiſedome; and I am ſure, for the beſt good of his beloved-ones every way) that as touching the outward ſtroke of death, I ſay, in a Common calamity, it hapneth to the good as to the bad; and how dyeth the wiſe man, but even as the foole? as wiſe King Solomon witneſſeth, Eccleſiaſtes, 2. 15, 16.

Note alſo yet once againe (good Reader) for the yet more remarkable manifeſtation of Gods righteouſneſſe and mercy, in putting another moſt notable difference between the Army of his enemies, and the Army of his Saints and Servants, fighting his battailes) that as was toucht before, and ſhewne in the Catalogue of the ſlaine on the Kings fide) in the very firſt ſet battaile, and field fight that was fought by the enemy againſt the Parliament, which was at Keinton, or Edge-hill; the Kings firſt great Lord Generall of all his Forces, the Earle of Lindſey, who ſhould have been the great Atlas, and Hercule in-upholder of the Kings ſo oft pretended and proteſted juſt Cauſe was one of the firſt that was ſlaine, in that firſt famous Fight; whereas, both in that renowned Victory, and in all the progreſſe of theſe bloody Broyles, and moſt uncivill Civill Warres over the whole Kingdome; even I ſay, from that firſt Fight to this day, both our moſt renowned Generalls, I meane his Excellency the Right Honourable Lord Generall, Robert Earle of Eſſex, and the renowned Generall, his Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, that now is, have both of them come off hitherto with abundance of honour and renowne, not onelyonly free from death, but alſo (ever bleſſed be the Lords wonderfull mercy in it) not ſo much as toucht with the leaſt wound or hurt on their bodies, for ought that ever I yet heard to this preſent day. The like alſo we may moſt happily and faithfully ſay of his Excellency renowned Generall Leſley, Earle of Leven, Lord Generall of the Forces of our loving and loyall Brethren of Sc…tland; the vertuous and Victorious Generall of the forces of the Aſſociated Counties, North-eaſterly, I meane the moſt noble Earle of Mancheſter, and the thrice noble and renowned Generall of our Northerne forces in Yorkeſhire, the valiant and victorious Lord Fairfax; in which remarkable mercy, and (me thinks) moſt excellent and eminent obſervation; and for all which ſo rich, ſo rare and ſingularly ſweet & free mercies, and moſt admirable diſpenſations of Gods wonder-working wiſedome, mercy, and juſtice, power, and protection over us, and thus manifeſted to and for us (a wicked and worthleſſe Nation, a ſinfull and provoking people) Bleſſing, Honour, Glory, and Power, be unto Him that ſitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lambe, for ever and ever, Revel. 5. 13. Amen, and Amen.
