To the Worshipfull , and my much honoured friend , Orlando Bridgeman Esquire , and a Burgesse of the Parliament , 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 Calamity , our advise is , to be gone , to pretend businesse till the great Hubbub be passed , withdraw , lest you suffer among the Puritans , We entreat you to send away this inclosed Letter to Master Anderton inclosed , to some trusty friend , that it may be carried safely without suspition , for it concerns the Common safety ; So desire your friends in Coven-Garden , January 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 works as hopefully as that of Ireland , we must bear with something in the Man , His will is strong enough , as long as he is sed with hopes : the Woman is true to us , and reall , Her Councell about Her is very good : I doubt not but to send you by the next very joyfull news , for the present , our rich Enemies , Pym , Hampden , Strode , Hollis , and Hasterigg , are blemisht , challenged for no lesse then Treason : before I write next , we doubt not but to have them in the Tower , or their heads from their shoulders . The Soliciter , and Fynes , and Earl we must serve with the same sauce : And in the House of the Lords , Mandevill is touched , but Essex , Warwick , Say , Brook , and Paget , must follow , or else we shall not be quiet Faulkland and Culepepper , are friends to our side , at leastwise they will do us no hurt . The Protestants and Puritans are so divided , that we need not fear them ; the Protestants in a greater part , will joyn with us , o● stand Neuters , while the Puritan is suppressed , if we can bring them under ; the Protestant will either fall i● with us generally , or else , if they do not , they are so indifferent , that either by fair , or foul means , we shall be able to command them . The mischievous Londoners , and Apprentices , may do us some hurt for present , but we need not much fear them , they do 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 Wes●minster : we are afraid of nothing , but the Scots appearing again . But we have made a party there , at the King last being there , which will hold their hands behinde them , while we Act our Parts at home ; Let us acqu●● our selves like men , for our Religion and Countrey , now or never . The Kings heart is Protestant , but ou● friends can perswade Him , and make Him beleeve any thing . He hates the Puritan party , and is made irr● concileable to that side ; so that the Sunne , the Moon , and Starres , are for us : There are no lesse then twent● thousand Ministers in England , the greater half will in their places , be our friends , to avenge the Bishops di●honour . Let our friends be incouraged , the work is more then half done . Your servant , R. E. London , Printed for Joseph Hunscott . 1641.
