Jones and Col. Munkes with the rest of the Protestant Commanders are very diligent and use their utmost indeavours to incourage their Souldiers defend themselves and offend their enemies and if by any means with the conjunction of their forces they can make any thing a considerable party they intend to give the Rebels battell to hinder the uniting of their forces who are assembling as it is thought against them by which meanes they shall be the better able to helpe furnish themselves with such necessaries as otherwise they would extreamly want Vice Admirall Crowther is very dilligent and faithfull in his service and with great care attends the Ports of Corke and Kingsate and other the Havens thereabouts and carries a weary eye over all suspitious persons and so very watchfull that nothing be carried out of this Kingdome for the service of Malignants or any in Armes against the Protestant party and not any supplyes be brought into the Kingdom for the reliefe or assistance of the Papists and blood thirsty barbarous Rebels here The Irish Rebels have promised and assured the Lord Inchiquin to be true and faithfull unto him and that they will to the utmost of their power assist him with their lives and estates and for the assurance of this performance they have entered into a Covenant with him and for a witnesse and Testimony that they which make good their proffers and performe their Covenant The Rebels have delivered up into Inchiquins hands many holds and places of strength as Galloway Linerick and others which they say he sh●ll keepe as a pledge and assurance that they will not relinquish the promise and conditions contained in their Covenant but what is further intended by Inchiquin and the Rebels is not yet known for they keepe their resolutions very private Letters from Lewes in Sussex SIR I Shall acquaint you with a sad accident which happened at Lewis the County town in Sussex on Sunday Aprill 16. occasioned by meanes of some who had not been carefull to see that their Children and Apprentices repaired to the Churches to heare Gods word taught as it was fit they sh●uld but left them idle to their own wills who in their Masters and Parents absence got together to p●ay in a house where were left at home but such as were fit for their company they assembled and af●er sundry pastimes they in sport threw fire one at the other and having thus pleased their foolish fancy they departed thence not minding where the fire lighted or the Colebrands fell they hasted away to some other vanity with which they intended to end the day but in their absence the fire suddenly kindled and set the house wholly on fire where they had been sporting and the people being some at Church and some at play the fire was not perceived till the house was all in a flame which suddenly fired others and greatly indangered the whole Towne and before it would be quenched it consumed almost a whole streete of houses and those houses that were burnt were observed to be the most prophain in all the Town and it was observed that one house escaped which was so near that the flame sometimes touched it being a house very famous for Religion and others that were three or foure houses distance were burned to the ground this may be a faire and a very good warning for all prophane and licentious livers to take heede how they prophane the Lords day and observe what vengeance many is powred upon the willfull abuses of this sacred day and if they be not very obdurate it may cause them to consider well of the fact and repent of what they have done and take heede that they offend not for the future Lewes Aprill 25. 1618.

SIR THe Malignants have a great desire to be medling but cannot as yet for want of opportunity but yet their hopes are great there are some that would be in Scotland willingly but that they feare that those which are there already are extreamly put to their shift for provision and sustenance therefore they intend to stay till the Scots come into England and then joyn with them by which you may see they have hopes of such a day as I hope they never shall never see it It is said the Scots Armies pretence is to release His Maj. from the ●sl● of Wyght and to reinstate him in his Royall Throane at Westminster Captain Wogans men increase and are amounted to the number of seven score here are many Lords Gentlemen in Scotland would fain see the conclusion because the English Souldiers are maintained by them till such time as it is known whether they result for Peace or Warre Yorke Aprill 22. 1648.
