Civil war dispatch reports Devon and Wiltshire actions as Parliament forces under Sir William Waller push the Royalists from Chipalm to the Devizes, claiming heavy enemy losses and captures. The enemy’s relief efforts falter near Oxford with Lord Crawford's troops intercepted. Waller’s army receives reinforcements and a bounty, while the Assembly of Divines meets King James Chapel to confer on bishops and church matters.
