Mitton Thomas Glynne John Carter Ierome Sanky Commissioners for the L Byron Edward Vere Iohn Vane Iohn Disney The Copy of a Letter from Carnarvan of the surrender of the Castle c. to Major-Gen Mitton agreed to by Commissioners on both sides SIR IN my last I advertised you of our Agreement to capitulate with the Lord Byron for the surrender of Carnarven and six Commissioners were chosen three for Major-Generall Mitton and three for the L. Byron his Lordship sent out Col. Edward Vere Colonel Iohn Vane and Lieutenant Col. Iohn Disney and on our side were chosen Col. Thomas Glyn Col. Iohn Carter and Serjeant-Major Hierome Zankey who have effected the work so that Carnarven is agreed to bee surrendred to us agreed by both parties upon this treatie and by each signed I have here inclosed sent you the Copy of the Articles whereupon it is to be surrendred which I hope will give very good satisfaction and content to the State I am sure it is a very considerable service it being a place of great strength and of great use And we are now to fall upon other designes for the reducing of these parts to the obedience of the Parliament but I must tell you they are here for matter of Religion a most ignorant and brutish people who know very little of God and it is heartily to be wished that some honest and godly painfull Ministers would come to preach the Gospell to them Indeede there are some Prelates and prelaticall Clergy in Carnerven very malignant and such as the people are like to profit but little by except they will study to preach Iesus Christ more then for ought I can here they have done but the Country Townes here abouts have been quite without all manner of preaching almost but blessed be God we are in a faire way to reduce these parts to the obedience of the Parliament who I doubt not will take care to send a powerfull ministry so soone as North-wales is totally reduced I hope that very shortly you will here good newes from Anglesay which is the place of the greatest consequence in all these parts this that we have taken in being very considerable also Benmorris being a place that hath bin of great use to the King I hope it will now be sodainly in our hands which is of great consequence because of the conveniency of bringing in of divers forraigne forces thither as hath been often done to serve the King against the Parliament and Kingdome I trust in the Lord that now God will be pleased to put an end to all the troubles of these parts that we may meete in peace The King hath now no more Garisons mentained by his party against us in all North-wales save only 5. and all of them either are or will be besiged if not part of thdm surrend●●d w●th 〈◊〉 dayes Indeede some of them it may be will prove 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 be reduced and may hold out long our Major Generall Major Generall Mytton is very active even to be admired in the hastning to make an end of the worke Collonel Glyne doth us service since he joyned with us and truly Col. Carter is a very pritty Gentleman and full of action the Country are no little glad of the hopes they have to enjoy what they have in peace which is in a good way for them there are in Carnarven with the Lord Byron many gentlemen of quality most of the cheif of those Officers that came from Chester some Bishops and divers malignant Clergy the works are exceeding good and reguler high works and thick and deepe motes I can not give you the certaine number of the Ordnance Armes Ammunition and provisions till we be possest of the Castle but after we have taken a note of them I will send you a list by the first opportunity but thus much I can assure you that they were so strongly fortified that they little thought that Carnerven would so soone have bin in our hands when Byron went thither but blessed be-God this work is not put out of question and by the next I believe you will hear somthing both of Anglesey and Flint Castle but this is all at present from Carnarven the 5. of Iune 1646.
