O. Cromwells THANKES TO THE Lord Generall Faithfully presented by Hugh Peters In another Conference Together with an Hue and Cry AFTER Mercurius Politicus London Printed by M. T. Cromwel's Thanks to the Lord General faithfully presented by HVGH PETERS Oliver Cromwell having had a late Conference with the new Lord Generall truly reported by Hugh Peters wherein he made an earnest request to his Excellency for the sending of severall persons to him to receive their just Rewards as well as himself which by good Fortune is very much gratified appeareth again to Peters in Saint Jamses Park To whom he applieth himself after his wonted manner as followeth Cromwell HOnest Hugh Well met Of all my old Acquaintance and Familiars I have none in such esteem as thy self Thou art honest indeed I did but desire George Monke to do me a civill Courtesie and I really finde that thou thy self hast been very Sollicitous and assiduous in moving him to grant it which he hath done to my great content and satisfaction and for which I am come againe of purpose to thee that I may present my Thanks unto him by thine own hands Peters Sir I am body and soul at your Devotion and service I am your obsequious Vassall and shall with all Observance and Fidelity perform your Commands Cromw Prethee Peters How does honest George Monk Pet. He is very well Sir And who but He You never had a quarter of that Love and Respect from City or Country as he has gotten by his Policy in all your life Crom. Seriously so Robin Titchburn tells me The old Proverb is very true Birds of a Feather will flock together And so will gregal Beasts too I did but desire honest George to send that Ape to me and he has sent me my little Marmoset Jack Ireton too in Company It s honestly done of him He was ever a noble Fellow and as good if not better than his word And that 's more than ever I was in all my dayes all the world knows Pet. Nay but Sir you may be well assured and take my honest word for it that his Excellency will send you some more Company ere it be long He is very mindfull of your Requests Cromw I believe thee Pet. Sir For all Jo. Lambert did shew him a slippery Trick lately and go out of the Tower and headed a part of the Phanatick party near Daintry together with Okey young Hasterige and divers others yet by the prowesse and valour of your Cosen Richard Ingoldsby and others under his Command they are all routed and Lambert himself with the Heads of that knot of Rebels and Traitors as they call them are brought up prisoners and secured in Cold harbour and other parts of the Tower of London and it will not be long first ere they be all sent packing by an Attainder in Parliament to see how you do or else they 'le have very ill luck Crom. I professe Peters I am very glad of it I thought I should not be long without Company I shall be glad to see my old Chronees again I 'le doe what I can for them as I promised before when I was last with thee But why doest thou stay all this while from me to thy prejudice when thou mightest have a Conge d'eslure presently I am confident to be Arch-Bishop of our Infernall Babell if thou wouldest but come to me What is it that I cannot doe if I please when I am pleased And that was alwayes a very hard matter to do thou knowest But I finde it very true What I have often said heretofore The Devill is good when he is pleased And thou doest fit my turn daintily Pet. I marry Sir I shall be well set up indeed A Bishoprick and an Arch one too Oh brave my Lord I 'le come to you I 'le warrant you I never was such a simple foole yet as to be a foe to my own profit A Bishop I 'le not refuse your proffer my Lord If John Calvin might have had but the like at Geneva he would never have been such a rigid Presbyter as he was Oh my Stars This is a noble proffer indeed A Bishop and Bishop of Babell too Why its double honour my Lord An Arch-Bishop a Metropolitane a Primate What not a Province 't is admirable I professe I 'le be sure to prefer Mr. Feake Up he goes And for Luke Harrunny the metal man he shall be Incumbent at St. Thomas Watering My dearly beloved Ignatius Loyola Philip Nye has given me the slip as some say like a cunning knave and gone over to Holland for a Triall without me And so has Nedham too of a certain like a slye Rogue as he is He 's fully resolved to take up my name-sake Hugh's trade and Cobble the second part of Mare Liberum But I will send an Hue and Cry after him to the Hogen Mogans that he may be remitted from thence to his own proper Country Would you think it my Lord that Bunce and Massie are come over again Nay more That Massie should be chosen a Parliament-man The wheele turns strangely round Yonder 's the Earle of Northumberland and all the Lords gotten together again I protest in the House of Peers There 's such a Noble Pack of them that it would make you stark mad if you were but here a little to see them They are not such a base Pack as you shuffled together we all know to be true Nay now the King will come in and you can hardly see any body without his or his Fathers Colours in their Hats Their work goes on amain And I 'le tell you one remarkable thing more my Lord for a rare secret as sure as may be if they alight on you they 'le lay you by Sindercombe at Tower-hill For your old friend the Earle of Manchester is Speaker again of the Lords House and he will be sure to remember your former kindnesse and love to him at Dunnington Castle Crom.
