I Am happie in this occasion, to tell you how greatly I af­fect you, and what high content and satisfaction it would bring to me to heare of your wel-fare, and other my loving friends. Bee assured our condition here is very good: Our Store-houses and Magazines are full, Our Souldiers at as good command as the Centurians in the Gospell. One said; should hee paint Warre like a Beast, hee would begin with his Belly: Mo­ney may bee the Nerves and Sinnues of Warre; But Meate and Drink is the Soule of it. This place is the Grannary of the Coun­ty, and Fish-market of these Eastern-parts, Wee have infinite quantities of Corne, Salt, &c. and had they not got the Block­house at the mouth of the River, Wee had liv'd in too much luxu­rie, yet have wee no Dearth of Oysters and other Fish. The Lord Fairfax hath made a Battery on the Conny-Warren, halfe a mile from us, but our Cannoneers shoote so exactly well they have little rest in their new workes; Wee heare they dwindle away daily by reason of fresh Insurrections in other places, and that some Bumpkins are come to them from Suffolke, but all that are Arethmeticians know that a great many such Ciphers stand for nothing. Mounsieur Thomas is Lievtenant to his Cozens Troopes and salutes you all. Commend me kindly to all friends. I pray you doe it particularly. I would faine see a perfect relation of the fight wherein Lambert was slaine. I pray for you all daily. Wee heare you had a Common-Hall in London on Saturday, Wee expect glorious events thereby: I wish you could at last become a Loy­all Subject, and leave that Idoll the present Parliament which you so much adore, I pray for your conversions; and rest.
