NEVVS FROM Sr. William Waller THE Lord Grey AND Sir. Thomas Armstrong And of Several others Fled from JUSTICE In a Letter from Amsterdam To his Friend in London Sr. THe horrid villanous Conspiracie of the Sectaries and Republicans in England is now become the discourse of other Countrys and our Flemish Bretheren of of the same Leven do outwardly shew their detestation of such Barbarous Principles with a seeming grief that Men professing themselves the most reformed in Religion and Manners should own and justifie such actions as would make an Jnfidel or an Heathen blush to be suspected guilty of But when I call to mind some miscariages of the same Party ' in times past and their dispositions that attended such miscariages though never so villanous I always observed their grief rather to proceed from the disapointment than the least remorse for the Breach of those Fences that principally secure humane society In the last letter I received from the Northeren parts I was advised from my correspondent at Breman That the late famous Sr. William Waller after all his shifting in these parts had acquired the dignity of a Governour in that litle Common Wealth and is upon a Capitulation with the Senate there for removing several English Merchants with their Effects from Hambourgh thither endeavors to perswade those States that his Intrest with the godly sober Party in England as he stiles them is sufficient to prevail with the chief Heads of the Faction there to follow the example of their H●mbourgh Brethren by those means in a short time to make Bremen compare with any City of this part of the World in point of Trade Strength and Riches But when I consider that almost every week in this place produces fresh Faces of the same Party from England and that many of them make it their business to become free Bourghers of this City I am apt to believe the Party give litle heed to the seeming pleasant charms of the litle Conjurer of Bremen rather look upon the Air of Amsterdam to be the more sweet pleasant healthful and safer place of the two Besides the infallable conveniency of being certain to find any Religion here that might be lost on a journey hither which is a necessary satisfaction to any man that makes a Trade of it of which those that are lately Arrived from England upon that account and that seem to be of the chiefest note are as followeth Francis Smith John Starkey Booksellers John VVilmer a Leather seller Mr. Emerton lately Christned Dr. Temple a Phisician Convict for Treason Mr. Dare a Goldsmith out-lawed Allison a Scotch Gentleman broke Gaol Guttery a Scotchman a Shooe-maker and Preacher by Trade was one of the Cargalits and 100. pound Sterling set on his Head for any that could apprehend him c.

Armstrong and Ayliff who are fled from Justice in England are at Cleves a City belonging to the Duke of Brandenburgh And the weather begining to break more of the said Party are daily expected from England Of which as often as any of them are admitted to our Freedom I shall not forget to give you a particular or of any other matter that may be worthy of your note In the mean time be pleased to give me leave to Subscribe my self Your most humble Servant I C.
