BRIDGEMAN , the fourth of Ianuary , and a Letter inclosed in it to one M. ANDERTON , were this day read and ordered to be entred . To the worshipfull and my much honoured friend , Orlando Bridgeman Esquier , and a Burgesse of the Parl. at his Chamber at the Inner Temple , these present . SIR , we are your friends : These are to advise you to look to your self , and to advise others of my Lord of STRAFFORDS friends to take heed , lest they be involved in the common calamitie : Our advise is , to be gone , to pretend busines , till the great Hubub be passed : withdraw , least you suffer among the Puritans . We entreat you to send away this inclosed Letter to M. ANDERTON , inclosed to some trusty friend , that it may be carried safely without suspition , for it concernes the common safety ; So desire your friends in Coven-Garden . Jan. 4. To the worshipfull and my much honoured friend , Master Anderton , these present . SIR , although many designes have been defeated , yet that of IRELAND holds well . And now our last plot workes as hopefully as that of IRELAND , we must beare with something in the Man , his wil is strong enough , as long as he is fed with hopes , the Woman is true to us , and real , Her Councel about Her is very good : I doubt not but to send you by the next very joyful newes , for the present , our rich Enemies , PYM , HAMPDEN , STROUD , HOLLIS , and HASLERIG , are blemisht , challenged for no lesse then Treason : before I writ next we doubt not but to have them in the Tower , or their heads from their shoulders . The SOLICITOR , and FYNES , and EARLE we must serve with the same sauce : And in the House of the Lords , MANDEVIL is touched , but ESSEX , WARWICK , SAY , BROOK , and PAGET must follow , or else we shal not be quiet . FAULKLAND , and CULPEPPER , are friends to our side , at leastwise they wil doe us no hurt . The Protestants and Puritants are so divided , that we need not fear them , the Protestants in a greater part wil joyne with us , or stand Neuters , while the Puritan is suppressed . If we can bring them under ; the Protestant wil either fall in with us generally , or else , if they doe not , they are so indifferent , that either by fair , or foule meanes , we shal be able to command them . The mischievous Londoners , and Apprentices , may doe us some hurt for present ; but we need not much feare them ; they doe nothing orderly , but tumultuously : Therefore we doubt not but to have them under command after one brunt , for our party is strong in the City , especially HOLBORNE , the new Buildings , and WESTMINSTER : We are afraid of nothing , but the SCOTS appearing againe : But we have made a Party there , at the Kings last being there , which wil hold their hands behinde them , while we act our parts at home ; Let us acquite our selves like men , for our Religion and Countrey , now or never . The Kings heart is Protestant , but our friends can perswade Him , and make him beleeve any thing . He hates the Puritane party , and is made irreconcileable to that side ; so that the Sunne , the Moone , and Starres , are for us . There are no lesse then twenty thousand Ministers in ENGLAND , the greater halfe wil in their places , be our friends , to avenge the Bishops dishonour . Let our friends be incouraged , the worke is more then halfe done . Your servant . R. E. LONDON , Printed 1642.
