Pres WEll met Sir George Booth You have a fair Army here Booth O Sir John Presbyter my good Friend I am very glad to see you here and as for Our Army we give you many thanks it ought more properly to be called Your Army then ours for we know that by your meanes it 's raised Pres Indeed we have done our utmost both by preaching praying at our several meetings especially in our private Conventions to carry on this design Booth Sir We are very sensible of your great care and pains therein I know my Master the King will not let you go unrewarded Pres O Sir That he were upon the Throne of his Father David that was lately murdered by the wicked Sectaries And if we shall let them still go on they will destroy us as they have done him that 's a true Maxim No King no Bishop No Presbyter no Parson No Vicar no Curate Booth Indeed we are much troubled at these times for we fear that the Sectaries will ruine us all you see they have deprived us of our good prayer-Prayer-Book our Divine-Service yea our very Sacraments as in all our publique meetings Pres Oh! We little thought once to have seen such a day of blackness upon this Nation for we thought that when once the Bishops had been down we should have come in their places otherwise we should not either have preached or prayed them down Booth I hope you and your Brethren have seen your error in being instrumental for the pulling down the Fathers of the Church of England and that in this day you shew your repentance in that you do your best endeavour to bring in Statu quo things as they were before Pres We have done what we can to the hazard of our lives and still shall do to the uttermost of our power Booth But put the case we put by this Army that it should be the Kings pleasure to put you in the stead of the Holy Fathers of the Church pray what should be your first work you would do for us who indeed are your elder Brethren Pres The first thing we would do if ever we have power in our hands it shall be to rout out all the Sectaries in England Booth There be so many sorts of them that we cannot tell how to name them or to know them Pray give me a note of them that so in my march I may secure them Pres I with all my heart In the general they are those which cry down Magistracy and Ministry such as will not keep their Parish-Churches but run into holes and corners Booth Is there no honest men that go sometimes into private meetings for I remember my Father hath had many Ministers and others at his House which were looked upon for very honest men by all the Cou trey Pres I Sir then the best men were persecuted Those were Orthodox and they had alwayes a Minister with them but these despise them which are Ministers and they take upon them to preach themselves and cry down Ministers and Tythes yea the very Church of England the Parishes and Clergy and say that all these are Anti-christian Booth I thank you good Sir John for this distinction but I pray you How shall I know the several sorts of these Sectaries Pres They are so many that I cannot promise to name them all but will do my best I having but a bad memory and its ●ade worse by these dreadful times The first son are Independents 2.

Booth I thank you good Brother for this kindness pray be pleased to give me a note of those that as they fall into my hands I may take care to have them dispatched out of the way Pres I with all my heart for it would be good newes for England if there were not one of these left Booth Indeed I will acquaint the King with your good service both to him and the Common-wealth and I doubt not but you will have your desires Pres O Sir George I hear that the Sectaries Army is marching against you I wish that you may be able to oppose them doth your Army increase daily Booth O no they decrease every day by reason of some headdy persons who contrary to our agreement have proclaimed our good King before the time which makes my heart to ake for you see the people are set against Monarchy for we should not have proclaimed him till we had been sure to have carried the day Pres If they were any of the Church-men that did this and I could find them out it should go hard but I would get them excommunicated Booth I know not who they were but I fear they will undo us by their headdiness O just now I hear that our Enemies are at hand ready to fight us and that they are very much stronger than we Good Sir John shift for your self and say over your prayers for us Pres Good Sir George be couragious your cause is good and fight like men that have the Clergy on your side how then can you miscarry you shall have all our prayers for you and we will blesse you and curse your enemies with Bell Book and Candle Booth O farewell my dear Brother and be sure to keep out of your Enemies hands Pres O I wish you good success good Brother Booth and shift you for your self I will do well enough I have 20 wayes to escape your Enemies c.
