At the Committee appointed by Ordinance of Parliament , for Raising and Maintaining of Horse and Foot , for the Garrison of Glocester , and for the Counties of Glocester , Hereford , Monmouth , Glamorgan , Brecknock , and Radnor . Gentlemen , WE have formerly desired your assistance for Glocester , and the Counties above mentioned ; and understand , That in some Parishes our Letters have not been publikely read ; in some , Subscriptions have been taken , and the Money not Collected ; in some , Collections made , and the Money not brought in ; and in others , neither Subscriptions , nor Collections , where the Letters have been read . What should be the cause of such backwardnesse in so good a work , ( as is the stopping of Supplies to the Enemy , the opening of Trade from the West , the hope of reducing South Wales to the King and Parliaments Obedience ; but especially the promoting of the Gospel in those blinde and ignorant Countreys ) we cannot apprehend . And because some Malignants , as we are informed , have reported , That we have mis-imployed what hath already been brought in ; We give this just accompt of the carefull Managing of the Contributions already received , ( being not above 2500 l. except the Subscriptions of some of the Committee , ) That besides 100. Case of Pistols , 100. Saddles , 300. Muskets , and 50. Barrels of Gun-powder , we sent down 250. Horse compleatly furnished , with a fortnights advance , both to Officers and Troopers , who seasonably coming to Colonell Massey , Governour of Glocester , with other of his Forces , and the assistance of the Countrey , did by the blessing of God , give a great defeat to the Enemy at Red Marley , the particulars whereof , we presume , cannot be unknown unto you . Yet we must acquaint you , That if further supplies come not timely to that worthy Colonell , he will not be able to draw into the field , nor act more then the defensive part .
