TO The Honorable William Lenthal Esq Speaker to the Honorable House of Commons . SIR , IN my last I gave you an accompt of the Armies being at Bodman , Listithiel , and parts thereabouts ; since that time we have not advanced ( it being held fit to spend two or three dayes in securing as far as we are gone , and leaving all safe behinde us ( the businesse of Mount Edgecomb hath somewhat taken up our time , I hope to good purpose ; for this day came Mr. Coriton , Mr. Lower , Mr. Glanvile , ( all formerly Members of the House of Commons ) and Mr. Trevisa to the General from Mr. Edgecomb , concerning the Surrender of this Fort , and disbanding of his Regiment and the forces thereabouts , which is agreed unto , I hope upon such conditions as will not be unacceptable to the Parliament . What influence this , and the coming in of other Gentlemen of this County , may have upon the rest of the Countrey , you may easily perceive , especially if you consider the quality of the persons of those that are already come in , and desire to live under the Protection of the Parliament : Viz. The Lord Mohun . Sir Iohn Trelawny . Colonel Trelawny . Sir Nicholas Lower . Thomas Lower Esq Pierce Edgecomb Esq William Scawen Esq Mr. Corriton . William Bond Esq Richard Edgecomb Esq Mr. Glanvile Esq Major Nicholas Saul . Capt. William Bond of Earth . Capt. Bourn . Capt. William Saul . Alexander Lower Esq Mr. Francis Saul . Nath : Trevanion of Tregerthen Esq Major William Trevisa of Crokedon Esq Iohn Battersby Esq Richard Spurre Esq Io : Roe of Trewurnan Esq Iohn Horndon , Col : Champernoon . Mr. Rashly . Mr. Iohn Trevery , Governour of Foy . Mr. Bagley . Mr. Walter Hele . Lieut. Colonel Fortescue . Major Warren . Sir Richard Prideaux , High Sheriff of the County , and divers others . Also Mr. Arrundel the Papist , a man of power , desires to be under the Protection of the Parliament . And as a further Testimony of the reallity of some others of the Inhabitants of this County neer St. Columb ( and yet in a manner now in the power of the Enemy ) this ensuing Petition delivered by the Hands of Mr. Vivian , with the consent of the Inhabitants of those parts where he lives , will in some measure shew their affection to the Parliament . To the Right Honourable Sir Thomas Fairfax Knight , Captain General of the forces , raised by the High Court of Parliament under his Command ; and other the renowned VVorthies of that Army . Right Honourable , WEE ( though not an acceptable number of a more unacceptable County ) having by Gods Blessing , so fair an advantage of giving our due respects to your Honour , do with them present our persons also ; which we most unfainedly protest have been hitherto by us , most vnvoluntarily separated , as our former readinesse and frequent indeavours to advance this service ; besides imprisonments , fines , or other most miserable sufferings , the same can evidently testifie : And therefore we first blesse the great Lord of Hosts , by whose providence you are made such victorious Ministers of our diliverance from such intollerable bondage ; and next to our great and Wise counsel , by whose publike care and mission , we have the happinesse this day to see you conquerors for the preservation of our Religion , so long violated , and restitution of our liberty so long inthralled : Neither may we omit a grateful acknowledgement of the unexampled valour and vigilance , which have been so magnanimously exercited for the reducing of this unhappy Kingdom from the woful condition of a bloody war , to so fair hopes of an assured and most happy peace : And now since it hath pleased God thus to blesse us ; we presume not to motion through difference your future care of his Glory , and the Common Wealths good ; having so many rare examples of your readinesse to defend both : However , give us leave as a people that is our great grief and misery have so long a time wanted the happy influence and equity of the Law to relieve us , to mention our desires of their reparation ; whereby also to distinguish our selves from those which have with an high hand indeavoured to subvert them : and as hitherto you have not wanted our prayers to God for a blessing upon your counsels and actions . So now , your Honour shall not want the ready , though weak assistance , so far as the lives and fortunes shall extend of your servants and faithful vocaries . The taking into consideration this Petition , and the coming in of the persons afore-mentioned ; as also the rising of the Inhabitants at Camelford , Ginny-Hill , and other parts in the East and North of Cornwal : For our assistance it was held fit to summon a Posse of five or six of the Hundreds , to appear at Bodman-Down to morrow being Friday , where some will be fitted with Instructions , to impart the Generals minde unto them : For to morrow , part of the Army advances to S. Columbe and other parts ; the Enemy is retreated from Castle-Dennis , and last night had his Head-quarter about Truro : some part of their Forces at S. Allens , and kept Guard neer S. Columb ; as our staying here three dayes will prove to our advantage in setling these Eastern parts of the Countrey ; So we are confident it will do so for the Western ; for Gerings Horse will sufficiently incline the people to wish the coming of this Army for their ease and preservation . The Enemy gave out they would plunder Truro , because the people there already appear for us ; but it was answered , Whether should they go with their plunder when they had it : Several of the Princes servants have sent unto the General for Passes to come in , and to repair to their homes ; which I conceive they now solicite for , in regard the Prince is gone to Sea : but where he is landed , we yet hear not . Last night a Vessel out of Ireland came into Padstow , the Townsmen seized upon her , and three other Vessels , going out with plundred Goods , and sent to our Forces at War-bridge for assistance , which was this morning accordingly sent unto him . A Spie is just now come from the Enemies Quarters ; most of their force are North of Truro : We shall be very neer Truro to morrow night . I beleeve the General after one dayes advance , will send a Summons to the Lord Hopton . I take my leave , and rest Your most faithful and humble servant , Io. Rushworth . Bodman , March 5. Two in the Afternoon . 1645. SInce the writing of my Letter , here is Cap. Farre come from Padstow , who with Cap. Wogan boarded the Irish Vessel ; and with the assistance of the Towns-men and Towns-women put them all to the Sword but two , about thirty in all , wicked natural Irish . God hath most seasonably brought that Vessel thither : It enrages the Countrey against the Kings party , for bringing in of forraigners . These are but the fore-runners of many thousands speedily to come over , as by their Packets of great concernment , appears : Indeed , of so great concernment considering from whom they come , that it is not fit to be lightly mentioned : they were thrown into the Sea , yet recovered ; an expresse is to come up with them : We have cause to blesse God for such a mercy . Several of those Letters subscribed by Glamorgan , Ormond and Digby , were this day read to Mr. Corriton , Mr. Lower , Mr. Glanvile , Mr. Trevisa , &c. And one of the two that had not his throat cut , was brought before them , which hath further satisfied them of the Kings intentions , and ready preparations to bring in bloody Irish Rebels into his Kingdom , that they offer , to the hazard of Life and Estate , in person to oppose them . I will say no more till the Letters come : Pardon my haste . Bodman , March 5 , 1645. six at night . A Summons is gone to Hopton . The Letters bear date the twenty eighth of February last . I beseech you to hasten Ships to the Irish Coasts . FINIS .
