We have only this further to adde , that as we are far from the least thought of plunder or other wrong to your City , or any the places adjoyning ( which we hope your former experiences of us will give you cause enough to credit us in , ) so for the better prevention of any disorder in the Souldiery , or of any abuse or inconvenience to the inhabitants in the quartering of the Souldiery at private houses ; wee earnestly desire , that you would take a present course for the supply of Money to pay those Forces , while wee shall be necessitated to stay there , upon which we assure you we shall so dispose of them into great and void houses about the City as much as may be possible , as that few or none of the inhabitants shall be troubled with quartering of any Souldiers at all . And for this purpose we desire , That forty thousand pound may be forthwith provided upon the security of your Arrears to be ready to be paid out to the Forces to morrow night if possible . And wee shall be ready to receive from you any intimations for the further prevention of hurt , or inconvenience to the City in this businesse , I remaine Windsor , ult. Novemb. 1648.
