A second Letter sent from Iohn Ashe Esquire a Member of the House of Commons to the Honourable VVilliam Lenthall Esquire Speaker of the House of Commons SIR IN my last sent you by Master Coombs you received a full relation of all that was done by his Majesties loyall Subjects and the Parliaments most faithfull Friends and servants here in this part of the County of Somerset you sh●ll now receive an account of what passed between your Committees and Deputie Lievtenants and the Lord Marquesse Hartford the Lords and others his Majesties Commissioners Upon Friday the fifth of this instant August about twelve of the clocke there was sent from the Lord Marquesse and the Commissioners unto your Committees and Deputy Lievtenants then in the field neere Chewton Anthony Stocker VVilliam Basset and Richard Brown three Justices of the Peace of this County who went but that very morning to Wells upon a Letter which they produced unto us sent unto them from the Marquesse wherein they were desired to come unto Wells to preserve the peace of the Countrey These three Messengers told us that they had a Message to deliver us from the Lord Marquesse and the Commissioners which they were willing to bring unto us because as they conceived it did conduce to the peace of the Countrey and thereupon delivered the message in writing a Coppie whereof is herewith sent you and at the same time they delivered us a Declaration which the Lord Marquesse and the Commissioners had caused to be published for the satisfaction of the Countrey in which is especially set out those severall passages at Shepton Mallet upon Munday the first of this moneth the Declaration we do likewise send you which when you have compared examined with our relation formerly sent you touching the same matter you may then see the errours and mistakes committed by the Commissioners contained in the said Declaration When your Committees and Deputy Lievtenants had perused this Declaration and Message for that Master Strode Master Pyne Master Rogers and Master Francis were not come unto us and some of them were principally concerned in that of Shepton Mallet we thought fit to returne the Commissioners for the present this answer which we here send you promising them a more full answer the next day by which time we did hope to enjoy the company and have the advise and consent of those Gentlemen above-named for wee expected them every houre but they came not unto us at all When your Committees and Deputy-Lievtenants had deliver'd unto the messengers their said Answer They the Messengers did propose that a course should be taken that the peace might be kept between us during this time that the Commissioners were to expect our next Answer and thereupon was added the last clause in this our first answer upon this condition that they the three messengers should engage that the like assurance should be given us from the Lord Marquesse and the other Commissioners or else to receive timely advertisement by them whereby wee might have time to put our selves in some readinesse for our safety and defence which the Messengers consenting unto they departed And in the evening by which time all our Companies were marched from Chewton unto a Hill above and in view of the Towne of VVels the same Messengers came againe unto us and brought the Warrant for our safety under the Lord Marquesse and some of the Commissioners hands which writing we likewise doe herewithall send unto you The next morning wee made ready our answer to their first Message which was digested into propositions and about ten of the clocke sent the same into VVels by foure Gentlemen Master Giles Hungerford Master VVilliam Eyre Master George Bompfield the Master Prickman who were attended by our Trumpetter and so brought safe to the Lord Marquesse and delivered him the Propositions from whom they received this Answer That the Answer and propositions were of a very high Concernment and therefore his Lordship and the Commissioners did desire time to consider of them but would give their reply by two of the clocke at the farthest and send the same unto us by Messengers of their owne The Meslage and Propositions you shall receive herewithall After the Lords and Gentlemen had received these our Propositions they then as wee were informed made ready all things for their departure and hastned away with speed yet to keepe the people in expectation whilst they might with the more safety depart the Towne They sent us up to the Hill by three Gentlemen Master Stocker Master Seymour and master Button an answer to our Propositions but before their messengers came from them all their Carriages were gone out of the Towne and the Lords and Gentlemen ready to take horse the answer wee have herewith sent unto you But by that time we had received and read this their Lordships reply there came Messengers unto us from the Major and Citizens of Wells who assured us that the Lord Marquesse and all the company were gone and had left the Towne and therefore petitioned us that the Sould●ers might not come down nor attempt any thing against them Upon which relation the Souldiers looking round the Countrey they espied the Lord Marquesse and all the company marching away and gone about three miles off neere unto a Towne called Glassenbury since which time we have received certaine intelligence from one that continued with them unto this very day That they marched that night unto Somerton a Towne neere unto Sir Iohn Fowells house from which place went the Lord Paulet and many other Gentlemen from the Marquesse unto their homes The Lord Marquesse and those that were left stayed at Somerton untill Munday morning and then left that Towne and are gone and setled at Sherborne as we are credibly informed Sir Ralfe Hopton and Sir Francis Dodington with some others resolving not to leave the Lord Marquesse but to keepe under his protection for that the whole Countrey doe take Sir Ralph Hopton for no better then a Rebell There are reports that they intend to returne into this County againe to bee avenged for this affront Very probable it is that they goe about to get more strength to come into this County or into
