Battle of Edgehill
The Battle of Edgehill (or Edge Hill) was the first pitched battle of the First English Civil War. It was fought near Edge Hill and Kineton in southern Warwickshire on Sunday, 23 October 1642.
All attempts at constitutional compromise between King Charles and Parliament broke down early in 1642. Both King and Parliament raised large armies to gain their way by force of arms. In October, at his temporary base near Shrewsbury, King Charles decided to march on London in order to force a decisive confrontation with Parliament's main army, commanded by the Earl of Essex.

New Model Army
The New Model Army of England was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War, and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration. It differed from other armies in the series of civil wars referred to as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in that it was intended as an army liable for service anywhere in the country (including in Scotland and Ireland), rather than being tied to a single area or garrison. Its soldiers became full-time professionals, rather than part-time militia. To establish a professional officer corps, the army's leaders were prohibited from having seats in either the House of Lords or House of Commons. This was to encourage their separation from the political or religious factions among the Parliamentarians.
The New Model Army was raised partly from among veteran soldiers who already had deeply held Puritan religious convictions, and partly from conscripts who brought with them many commonly held beliefs about religion or society. Many of its common soldiers therefore held Dissenting or radical views unique among English armies. Although the Army's senior officers did not share many of their soldiers' political opinions, their independence from Parliament led to the Army's willingness to contribute to the overthrow of both the Crown and Parliament's authority, and to establish a short-lived Commonwealth, which included a period of direct military rule. Ultimately, the Army's Generals (particularly Oliver Cromwell) could rely both on the Army's internal discipline and its religious zeal and innate support for the Good Old Cause to maintain an essentially dictatorial rule.

April
It is now April, and the Nightingale begins to tune her throat against May:
The Sunny showers perfume the aire, and the Bees begin to goe abroad for honey:
The Dewe, as in Pearles, hangs upon the tops of the grasse, while the Turtles sit billing upon the little greene boughes:
The Trowt begins to play in the Brookes, and the Sammon leaves the Sea, to play in the fresh waters:
The Garden bankes are full of gay flowers, and the Thorne and the Plumme send forth their faire Blossomes:
The March Colt begins to play, and the Cosset Lamb is learned to butt.
The Poets now make their studies in the woods, & the Youth of the Country make ready for the Morris-dance;
The little Fishes lye nibling at a bait, and the Porpas playes in the pride of the tide.
The Shepheardes pipe entertaines the Princesse of Arcadia, and the healthfull Souldier hath a pleasant march.
The Larke and the Lambe looke up at the Sun, and the labourer is abroad by the dawning of the day:
Sheepes eyes in Lambs heads, tell kind hearts strange tales, while faith and troth make the true Lovers knot:
The aged haires find a fresh life, and the youthfull cheeks are as red as a cherry:
It were a world to set downe the worth of this moneth:
But in summe, I thus conclude, I hold it the Heavens blessing, and the Earths comfort.
- Nicholas Breton (1554-1626), Part of his 'Fantasticks Serving for a Perpetual Prognostication' series.
Prognostication, i.e. to predict the future. I wonder if Nicholas Breton could ever have predicted the standardisation of spelling.
