In the meantime the parliament's forces entered Newbury. They summoned Donnington Castle to sur- render, threatening Colonel Boys that if he did not instantly comply, they would not leave one stone upon another. "If so, I am not bound to repair it, " was the governor's scornful reply. Being urged, a second and a third time, with the offer that he should be permitted to march out with all the arms, ammunition, and stores deposited in the castle "Carry away, " he said, "the castle walls themselve...s, if you can; but, with God's help, I am resolved to defend the ground they stand on, till I have orders from the king, my master, to quit it, or will die upon the spot. " An assault was con- sequently determined, but the officer who led the storming party having fallen at their head, and great differences prevailing among the generals, nothing farther was done.
From Bath the king returned without delay to Oxford, attended by Rupert, and his reinforcements. On the 6th of November, the whole army mustered near that city; and on the 8th Charles surprised his enemies by appearing once more in sight of Newbury, at the head of full six thousand foot and five thousand horse.
