Your most humble Servant W. C. SJR THis day the Commissioners from Exeter and our Commissioners met at Poltemore house at their meeting they had faire quarter on both sides and were very civill each to other they met in a very convenient roome in that house ours had very ●ull and exact Instructions and were desirous to make short worke of it but those from the Enemy were not so they brought out from Exeter to our Commissioners A Copy of the Articles very high in which there was very much for the Clergie and particularly for the Bishop Deanes Prebends and the rest of the Cathedrall men the dispute about which tooke up much time this day and there is also much pleaded for in those Articles in the behalfe ef such as have adheered to the King to levell the Parliaments proceedings against which is no wonder at all for there r●in Exeter many notable sticklers that have acted much for the King and there are indeed many precious men that are there who have suffered much by them but the Malignants there may bussell we hope they cannot hinder the agreement of the Commissioners for the surrender of Exeter to the Generall to the Obedience of the Parliament The E. of Bristoll and others who are there that with the Clergie labour to obstruct this great work but will we hope be over powred by those who will bee not so far flattered by them as to undoe themselves to please a few There are many Gentry and much wealth in the City which I believe they will be loath to venture the plunder of but for the Inhabitants we are assured that they are weary of the league● and desire generally to be free our Commissioners desired that much time might not be spent in circumstances but that they would come to the businesse of surrender and to debate of what was most materiall declaring to them that what might stand with the Ordinances of Parliament and the good and safety of the Kingdome they would assent to preserve that City and prevent the effusion of bloud which otherwise might follow They proceeded so farre that the Commissioners from Sir Iohn Berkley considering that we were resolved against delayes and that their instructions were in some things imperfect whereby they were so bound and that they could not give that satisfaction which was expected and which they broke off the further Treaty for this day they prove sad 〈◊〉 Commissioners that they would returne with such Instructions whereby they would be inabled to satisfie our expectation one way or other we apprehend no great reason to feare any obstructions to hinder the perfecting of this great worke by Sunday I doubt not but to be able to give you a faire account of their progresse Pendennis is still stubborne and Michaels Mount houlds out the Prince is still in the Isse of Sylly but divers others of his great followers are gone for France the Prince did not passe over with them and we heare not that he went since though I beleive it is so The Gentlemen of these parts proceed well in the putting these Countries into a good posture we hope the Militia will bee well setled in short time Barnstable I beleive will fall with Exceter and then we all returne The Generall is resolved if they will not surrender to make a short work of it but the former is hoped and most desired and before this come to your hands I beleive it will be ours If Bristol and the rest be caught in the Net I hope it will be accounted a good peece of service but wee impute not the great things that God hath done by us to the Arme of Flesh but desire that praise may be given to God that hath made us Instruments to do our Country good which is the thing desired by Your humble Servant N.
