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 Majesties 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 forseeing well 

 what the loss of that fatal battle upon Hessom-moor, 

 near York, would produce, by which not onely those 

 of His Majesties party in the northern parts of the 

 kingdom, but in all other parts of His Majesties 

 dominions both in England, Scotland, and Ireland 

 w^ere lost and undone, and that there was no other 

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

 the emeny, 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 90Z. My Lord not being at all startled at so simaU 

 a summ, 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 Scarborough (as before is mentioned) 

 where two ships were prepared for Hamborough to 

 set sail within 24 hours, in which he embarqued with 

 his company, and arrived in four days time to the 

 said city, which was on the 8th of July, 1644.
