The Copie of a Letter from one of the Chiefe Officers in Briſtoll

SIR;

I Now came from the Governour, (Major Generall Skip­pon,) whilſt I was with him, in came a poore man) with ſixe Gentlemen of Glamorganſhire that fled hither,) with a Letter, which intimates thus much, that Cardiffe is re­taken, for it was taken by the Enemy and Clubmen (ſince my laſt,) and many ſtrange paſſages are in the Letter. The Governour, Colonell Pitchard, and Colonell Leyton, who hath been ſomtimes of the Plymouth Regiment, betooke themſelves to the Caſtle with their Forces, and kept that: The Vice-Admirall in Munday laſt made a ſight of the Ca­ſtle, and ſhot off ſixe Peeces, to let them know in that time they ſhould have reliefe, which was performed by Major Ge­nerall Laughhorne, Sir Trever Williams, and Colonell Morgan: The Meſſenger ſaith, that they had a very bloody ſight, but aſſures the Governour that we routed Sir Charles8 Kemiſh of Ragland, and all his, and that there are not 140. of them left upon Ralley, nor thoſe likely to get to Ragland, for Colonell Morgan is fallen between them and home. We expect the particulars every houre, but the waters are very high here, and at Oaſt (the paſſage.) Since this Meſſen­ger, whilſt I was with the Governour, in came Captaine Bowen, one of the Captaines of the Governours Regiment, belonging to the New Modell, taken three weeks ſince, (and a Lievtenant) by Ragland, they demand Captaine Kettleby for the one, and one Maſter Harbert for the other. Here is one Morgain, a Jeſuit, priſoner alſo, who was ſent from Car­diffe before the revolt. I hope the Welch that have acted in it, will pay for their treachery.

Sir
I am Your affectionately to ſerve you.
FINIS.

Editorial statement

About the encoding

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial principles

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
