Description
Excerpt from History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in Englandd, Vol. 2: To Which Is Added an Historical View of the Affairs of Ireland
Sir Edward Ford, a gentleman of a good family, and fair fortune in Sussex'', had then a regiment of horse in the lord-hopton°s troops, and the King had made him High sheri-e of Sussex that year, to the end that, if there were Occasion, he might the better make impression upon that county. He had with him; in his regiment, many of the gentlemen Of that ''county Of good Quality: and they all besought the Lord Hopton, that he would, since Waller was not like to advance, at least send some troops into those parts, to give a little countenance to the levies they should be well able to make assuring him, that they would, in the first place, ''seize upon Arundel castle; which, standing near the sea, would yield great advan tage to the King''s service, and keep that rich corner of the country at his Majesty''s devotion. These, and many other Specious undertakings, disposed the Lord Hop ton, who had an extrabrdlnary app''e''t/ite to engage Waller in a battle, upon Old accounts, to wish himself at liberty to comply with those gentlemen''s desires: Of all which, he gave such an account to the. King, as made it appear, that: he liked the design, and ''thought it practicable, if he had an addition of a regiment or two of foot, under good ofii cers for that quarter Of Sussex, which he meant to visit, was a fast and inclosed country, and Arundel castle had a'' garrison in it, though not numerous, or well provided, as'' being without apprehension of an enemy.
