our horse being still assisted by the ffootte, att last beate them 

 downe Tughill, where in the bottome they were cruelly gall'd 

 by our ffootte that then drew vp thicke vpon Tughill. 



Now did our ffootte beleiue noe men theire equalls, and were 

 soe apt to vndertake anything, that the hill vpon wch the 

 Eebells stood well fortyfied litle without muskett shott (from 

 whence they racked vs with their Cannon) could not deterre 

 them ; for they desir'd to fall on and cry'd lett vs fetch those

 fall into the two woodes had done theire businesse and were vpon 

 the hill assoone as the rest. 



The Enemy (obseruing our ffront to enlarge it selfe vpon the 

 hill, and our Cannon appearing theire likewise) began to suspect 

 himself, and drew his whole strength behind that wall, wch hee
