Loving Brother THE Prince whom so many of our Pulpits flattered with the Title of The pledge of our ensuing happinesse hath given us a taste of that sweet fruit which the Kingdome is likely to gather from his Government if the Lord in wrath permit him to rule over us The yong man hath begun a health to Englands happiness and the peoples liberty in a cup of blood Upon Thursday the 10 of this present his Highness as they call him for my part I know not how tall he is landed a party of some 80 of his men under the Command of one Aldredge a Cheese-monger who lived sometime in Bread-street and was Apprentice with Mr. Rob.

Johnson Where was he Truly where safest 't was to be Beset with Bottles three times three Which no body can deny Had it been a drinking match on shoar the High Admirall himself could not have kept his new Col. aboard but I am perswaded the Gentleman is sick of fighting and wisheth himself in his Landladies Chimney-corner at the spread Eagle in Gratious-street I have no more at present but to pray God to open the eyes of the Prince his Right Trusty and Welbeloved at London whether they be Lords or Common Councel men that before it be too late they may see God in the greatnesse of his power coming out against that party and breaking them in pieces so as if he did point out with his finger as he doth to Babylons daughter that they and their adherents are to be destroyed Farewell Your affectionate Brother I.
