§ 45. Accus. XXXII. I repent not of saying that I was rescued from many dangers: Nor that I had many tedious Nights and Days, (in that Army which after Naseby Fight I hazarded my Life and spent my Labour to have undeceived) [and had many doleful sights and tidings.] I saw the Graves and some of the Corps in Ditches near Edgehill, of the Parliaments Soldiers there killed, and many that lay unburied: When after I lived in peace at Coventry, how oft were Soldiers of that Garrison brought home Mortally wounded, and many slain: Few Weeks past in which we heard not of Fights in Fields or Garrisons: Which I thought it lawful to call doleful tidings.

Ans. Not at any one of them▪ save Langport. I said, [My Eyes shalt no more see the Earth covered with the Carcasses of the slain.] Which was at Edgehill the next day after, where I had no more to do than any other that would see the place.
