SInce my last unto you, dated the 18. of this instant moneth, We have received further Orders from the General, for remo­vall of our quarters towards the Westerne Road, which was accordingly done, seve­rall Regiments being now quartered about [Page] Reading, Windsor, and the rest of the adjacent townes. Our trayn of Artillery is come from Oxford to the Generals head-quarters, and divers souldiers designed for Ireland [...]re a­gain joyned with us. Some rumors in the army of high particulars, but I will wave them, and rather clip the wings of such sug­gestions, then to have them dispierced for advancing of discord But I trust to the great Jehovah of Heaven, that if a further breach doth arise betwixt the Parliament, City, and Army, that He will be pleased to close it up againe, and firmly knit the hearts of all in those silver thrids of amity, that so the glory of God may be exalted, His Royall Majesty advanced into his throne, and peace & truth established within his Majesties Realm and Dominion.

We have received advertisement at the Head quarters, that a party of horse are ad­vanced neerer towards your City; but (I say now, as I said before) I hope with no evill intent; Our agitators sits close (being two out of every Regiment) and what ever they conclude upon, the army gives their whole assent.

[Page]We have received some advertisement of a Letter sent to the Generall, from both hou­ses of Parliament, to require him to deliver the King, to the Commissioners now resi­dent with his Majesty, and so to be conduct­ed to Richmond, and to require him to with­draw his Army forty miles from London, to forbear recruiting his Army, or to possesse any new townes, Castles, or Fortifications; but the army hath declared their unwilling­nesse to resign up the King, untill such time that they have received satisfaction and re­dress of their former grievances proposed to the honourable houses of Parliament; yet thus much I dare presume to say, that his Maiesties residence in the protection and power of the Army, doth not a little em­bolden them in their present design, but it doth also promp them up to high condi­tions.

For other particulars, I shall refer you to the inclosed, and remain
