THE SECOND BOOK 



Having hitherto faithfully related the life of my noble Lord 

 and husband, and the chief actions which he performed during 

 the time of his being employed in his Majesty's service for the 

 good and interest of his King and country, until the time of 

 his going out of England, I shall now give you a just account 

 of all that passed during the time of his banishment till the 

 return into his native country. 



My Lord being a wise man, and foreseeing well what the loss 

 of that fatal battle upon Hessam Moor, near York, would pro- 

 duce, by which not only those of his Majesty's party in the 

 northern parts of the kingdom, but in all other parts of his 

 Majesty's dominions, both in England, Scotland, and Ire- 

 land, were lost and undone, and that there was no other 

 way but either to quit the kingdom or submit to the enemy, 

 or die, he resolved upon the former, and preparing for his 

 journey, asked his steward how much money he had left ; 

 who answered that he had but £go. My Lord, not being at all 

 startled at so small a sum, although his present design required 

 much more, was resolved to seek his fortune, even with that 

 little ; and thereupon, having taken leave of his Highness 

 Prince Rupert and the rest that were present, went to Scar- 

 borough (as before is mentioned), where two ships were pre- 

 pared for Hamburgh to set sail within twenty-four hours, 

 in which he embarked with his company, and arrived in four 

 days' time to the said city, which was on the 8th of July 1644. 



In one of these ships was my Lord, with his two sons, Charles 



Viscount Mansfield and Lord Henry Cavendish now Earl of 



Ogle ; as also Sir Charles Cavendish, my Lord's brother ; the 



then Lord Bishop of Londonderry, Dr. Bramhall ; the Lord 



Falconbridgc ; the Lord Widdrington ; Sir William Carnaby, 



who after died at Paris, and his brother Mr. Francis Carnaby, 



who went presently in the same ship back again for England, 



and soon after was slain by the enemy near Sherborne, in York-
