TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE the Earle of PEMBROKE My Noble good Lord ON Munday night last being at Malmsbury which is a Towne under my command within eight miles off Cisseter where I had drawne up 500 Men of my Regiment for their ayd and two Companies more upon their march about nine of the clocke at night there came about 500 Horse and Dragoneeres of the Earle of Stanfords Forces out of Glocestershire commanded by Lievtenant-Colonell Furbush and Lievtenant-Colonell Carr his Lordship being then at Exceter and desired lodging of me for that night whereupon as soon as I was certainly informed who they were I tooke order for the billeting of them and let them in which as soon as I had done they came to me pretending a great deale of friendship but on the sudden seized upon mee in my lodging plundered me and my Souldiers of all that we had and the next morning carried me and Captaine Edward Eyre to Cisseter with as much ignominy as was possible upon two poore Dragoneeres although they tooke from me as many Horses for my own Saddle as were worth 300 pound within two daies they carried me to this Towne where they keepe me in the same manner at this time but I thanke God they dare accuse me of nothing but say that I would not bring up my Forces to Cisseter which I conceive I was no way bound to doe especially Prince Maurice his Quarter being at Farringdon and Wantage hauing there 1000 Horse within two Miles of Wilts they say likewise that I had seized upon Sir Edward Hungerford which I had just cause to doe for besides the correspondence between him and my Lord Seymor which I can bring pregnant proofe of he sent twice to my Serjeant Major to command him to draw up my Forces to such places as he should appoint pretending that he had an Order from the Parliment for it and sent to my Souldiers to leave me and come to him which I could make no other interpretation of but that he intended to betray me whereupon I resolved to send him in safe custody to the Parliament but he fled to Cisseter and there J doe verily beleeve did bribe the two Scotch Lievtenant-Colonels to performe this exploit for he fled out of Wilts about six weekes agone and carried all his Family and Goods into Somersetshire where he doth now reside and onely comes sculking now and then into Wilts to put tricks upon me I have served my Countrey under your Lordships and your brothers command these twenty yeeres wherefore J beseech your Lordship to undertake for me for J am resolved never to desert the cause but desire to appeare at the Parliament with as much speed as may be which I hope your Lordship will further for his sake who will ever be Your most humble Servant E.
