Garison hath been taken this Summer through Gods goodnesse And he that will not take his share in this common joy is either stupid or envious Our Brigade is marched to Langford house by Salisbure which I hope will not be long work and then that Country will be clean and our men ready to wait our Generals further Commands Doub●lesse w●re not the year so farre spent and our foot thereby not able to lye abroad we might soon look for the finishing of this Warre The fruits of what is already done are great amongst the rest what I saw upon the way all sorts travelling upon their occasions freely to their own homes with Carriages and Wanes many Innes filled with guests The former face of things returning upon us in severall kindes yea now we may ride with safety from Dover to the middle of Devonshire The Commission I have to this Honourable House from the Lieutenant Generall which he delivered unto me with much vehemencie and sence was this 1. That you should be truly informed concerning the payment of the Army it being generally reported they are compleatly paid and that Army constantly injoyned to pay their quarters in which there hath been much care taken and by which much hath been gained upon the Countries It is most certain that of twenty one Weeks the Horse are twelve weeks behinde and the foot have likewise their proportion of sorrow through want of pay I know threescore in one company lying sick by eating of raw roots and green Apples through want of money to buy better food It is most humbly desired that they may not suff●r by the State who are willing to do so much for it the hands and feet of a naturall body are not more apt move for an aking head then this Army in every part of it are for this afflicted Kingdome I have often wished if it might be thought good to your wisedomes that every County according to the store of money sessed upon every County might know their souldiers and a Committee of their own reside in the Army to pay them it being the way of the Low-Countries whereby the Warre hath been so well upheld and continued The frame whereof I have long since given in writing to some Members of this Honourable House 2. The second thing I have in command is That you be truly informed about your recruits of men when we have been promised and expected 4000. we have received but 900. And upon Friday last when we were promised 3000. and did not expect lesse we received but fifteen hundred It may be easily conceived that such an active Army must needs be a great spender of men by sicknesse and otherwise though blessed be God it appeares at every siege the enemies sword cuts not off many at this of Winchester I know not of above 2 or 3 souldiers lost Your recruits are so chargeable in their bringing to the Army that with halfe the mony our officers would recruite themselves And were this Army recruited to your first intention of 21000. not only England but I hope Ireland would soon reap the fruits of their labours The last thing I take boldnesse to commend to this Honourable House is that the Garrisons wee take in may bee for God this Honourable House and the whole Kingdome my meaning is that forthwith some course may be taken for the many ignorant and heathenish soules in and about the places aforesaid This city is glutted the contry is famished we are quarrelling here about the covering of the house the foundations whereof are not yet laid in the countrey In this I am the bolder because of the cryes of the people to me in the places where I have been and some of Winchester at my departure crying for help with them of Macedonia All which I represent to the most serious thoughts of this Honourable House and the blessing of peace be upon all your Councells AMEN Here followeth a Copy of divers severall papers brought to the Parliament by Mr● Peters from Lievtenant Generall Cromwell The Copy of the severall Letters that came from Viscount Ogle the Gov●rnour of the Castle during the time of the siege SIR I have received a sad summons and d●sire you that this inclosed may be conveyed from WINTON Castle 4.
