Yet before he ap|proched in sight of them, he sent sir Edmund Kneuet & sir Thomas Palmer knights, with others, to vnder|stand of them, whether now at length they would sub|mit themselues, & receiue the kings pardon; which if they would doo,Pardon of [...]|red he offred to grant it freelie to all the whole multitude, one or two of them onelie excep|ted: [page 1039] but they with generall voices refusing it, the earle fell in hand to incourage his people vnto the battell, and hauing appointed as well the horssemen as footmen in what order they should giue the charge, they passed forward in approching the enimies. The rebels beholding them thus to come forward, put themselues in order of battell, in such manner, that all the gentlemen which had béene taken prisoners, and were kept in irons for starting awaie, were pla|ced in the fore ranke of their battell, coupled two and two togither, to the end they might be killed by their owne friends that came to seeke their deliuerance: but yet as God would haue it, the most part of them were saued. Miles the maister gunner among the rebels, leuieng a péece of ordinance, shot it off, and stroke him that caried the kings standard in the thigh, and the horsse through the shoulder.
