t length a little before night, their horse also marched away; and about an houre after, our horse also marched towards their Quarters, the Foot and some horse staying all night in their Quarters, in and before _Keynton_; and the next day the whole Army both horse and foot marched towards _Warwicke_ to refresh themselves; instead of which, if they had marched towards _Banbury_, they would have found more victuals, and had in all probabilities dispersed all the foot of the King's Army, and taken his Canon and Carriages and sent his horse farther off to plunder, whereas now because we did not follow them though they quitted the field to us which we fought on and left their quarter before us the next day, yet they begin to question who had the day: It is true, there were Colours and Canon taken on both sides, without any great difference in the numbers, but for the number and quality of men slaine and hurt, it is verily believed, they left foure times as many at the least as we did, and in saying foure times as many, I am confident I speake much below the truth.

These persons underwritten were all of the Right wing and never stirred from their Troops but they and their Troops fought till the last minute.
