154 LIFE, TIMES, AND SCIENTIFIC LABOURS [1646-7. 



sary Guilliam ; together with 4 colonels, 82 captains, 

 16 lieutenants, 6 cornets, 4 ensigns, 4 quarter-mas 

 ters, and 52 esquires and gentlemen; including also 

 his Lordship s numerous visitors, household, and re 

 tainers. 



The General, having thus secured the last stronghold 

 that had withstood the power of the Parliamentary 

 army, went to Chepstow to take part the same night in 

 a splendid entertainment, returning thence the following- 

 day to recruit himself at Bath. 



There were found in Eaglan Castle, a mill for the 

 manufacture of gunpowder, 20 pieces of ordnance, only 

 3 barrels of powder, good store of corn and malt, beer, 

 and various wines ; not many horses, and but little hay 

 or oats. The apartments, however, were amply sup 

 plied with rich furniture, and well stored with goods. 

 All these the General committed to the charge of Mr. 

 Herbert, the Army Commissioner, and others to be in 

 ventoried. 



Thus far the articles of capitulation were punctually 

 performed with regard to all matters, except only the 

 Marquis himself. We are not very precisely informed 

 respecting his removal, but only assured that he was in 

 the custody of the Black Eod ; and next hear of him as 

 being in Covent Garden, probably at that official s 

 residence, where he was repeatedly visited by his former 

 chaplain, the loquacious Dr. Bayly. 7 It was a base 

 violation of the conditions in the treaty, on the part of 

 the Parliament, to keep the Marquis in confinement, and 

 still worse considering his age, corpulency, and bad 

 state of health, aggravated no doubt by the excessive 

 toils and troubles of the last few years, together with 

 the more recent fatigues of his journey from Wales to 



Bayly.
