Note 537 — Chapter XIX
Reading edition
The religious feelings of the two armies are thus stated by an eyewitness:—"Consider the height of difference of spirits; in their army the cream of all the Papists in England, and in ours, a collection out of all the corners of England and Scotland of such as had the greatest antipathy to Popery and tyranny."—Sanford, 597. He gives a careful account of the battle.
For the state of feeling in general after the victory, see Baillie, ii. 201, et seq.
