<P><PB N="4" REF="3">
Upon Friday, the fifth of this in&s;tant <HI>Augu&s;t,</HI> a|bout
twelve of the clocke, there was &s;ent from the
Lord Marque&s;&s;e and the Commi&s;sioners unto your
Committees and Deputy Lievtenants then in the
field neere <HI>Chewton, Anthony Stocker, VVilliam Ba&s;set,</HI>
and <HI>Richard Brown,</HI> three Ju&s;tices of the Peace, of
this County, who went but that very morning to
Wells, upon a Letter which they produced unto us
&s;ent unto them from the Marque&s;&s;e, wherein they
were de&s;ired to come unto Wells, to pre&s;erve the
peace of the Countrey. The&s;e three Me&s;&s;engers
told us that they had a Me&s;&s;age to deliver us from
the Lord Marque&s;&s;e, and the Commi&s;sioners
which they were willing to bring unto us, becau&s;e
(as they conceived) it did conduce to the peace of
the Countrey, and thereupon delivered the me&s;&s;age
in writing, a Coppie whereof is herewith &s;ent you,
and at the &s;ame time they delivered us a Declarati|on,
which the Lord Marque&s;&s;e and the Commi&s;sio|ners
had cau&s;ed to be publi&s;hed for the &s;atisfaction
of the Countrey, in which is e&s;pecially &s;et out tho&s;e
&s;everall pa&s;&s;ages at Shepton Mallet upon Munday,
the fir&s;t of this moneth, the Declaration we do like|wi&s;e
&s;end you, which when you have compared &amp;
examined with our relation formerly &s;ent you
touching the &s;ame matter, you may then &s;ee the er|rours
and mi&s;takes committed by the Commi&s;sio|ners
contained in the &s;aid Declaration. When your
Committees and Deputy Lievtenants had peru&s;ed
this Declaration and Me&s;&s;age, for that Ma&s;ter <HI>Strode,</HI>
Ma&s;ter <HI>Pyne,</HI> Ma&s;ter <HI>Rogers,</HI> and Ma&s;ter <HI>Francis</HI> were
<PB N="5" REF="3">
not come unto us, and &s;ome of them were principally
concerned in that of <HI>Shepton Mallet,</HI> we thought fit to
returne the Commi&s;sioners for the pre&s;ent this an|&s;wer,
which we here &s;end you, promi&s;ing them a more
full an&s;wer the next day, by which time we did hope
to enjoy the company, and have the advi&s;e and con&s;ent
of tho&s;e Gentlemen above-named, for wee expected
them every houre, but they came not unto us at all.
When your Committees and Deputy-Lievtenants
had deliver'd unto the me&s;&s;engers their &s;aid An&s;wer.
They the Me&s;&s;engers did propo&s;e that a cour&s;e
&s;hould be taken, that the peace might be kept between
us during this time, that the Commi&s;sioners were to
expect our next An&s;wer, and thereupon was added the
la&s;t clau&s;e in this our fir&s;t an&s;wer, upon this condition
that they the three me&s;&s;engers &s;hould engage that the
like a&s;&s;urance &s;hould be given us from the Lord Mar|que&s;&s;e,
and the other Commi&s;sioners, or el&s;e to re|ceive
timely adverti&s;ement by them, whereby wee
might have time to put our &s;elves in &s;ome readine&s;&s;e
for our &s;afety and defence, which the Me&s;&s;engers con|&s;enting
unto they departed; And in the evening (by
which time all our Companies were marched from
<HI>Chewton</HI> unto a Hill above, and in view of the Towne
of <HI>VVels)</HI> the &s;ame Me&s;&s;engers came againe unto us,
and brought the Warrant for our &s;afety under the Lord
Marque&s;&s;e, and &s;ome of the Commi&s;sioners hands,
which writing we likewi&s;e doe herewithall &s;end unto
you. The next morning wee made ready our an|&s;wer
to their fir&s;t Me&s;&s;age which was dige&s;ted in|to
propo&s;itions, and about ten of the clocke &s;ent the
&s;ame into <HI>VVels</HI> by foure Gentlemen, Ma&s;ter <HI>Giles
<PB N="6" REF="4">
Hungerford,</HI> Ma&s;ter <HI>VVilliam Eyre,</HI> Ma&s;ter <HI>George Bomp|field,</HI>
the Ma&s;ter <HI>Prickman,</HI> who were attended by our
Trumpetter, and &s;o brought &s;afe to the Lord Mar|que&s;&s;e,
and delivered him the Propo&s;itions, from whom
they received this An&s;wer, That the An&s;wer and pro|po&s;itions
were of a very high Concernment, and there|fore
his Lord&s;hip and the Commi&s;sioners did de&s;ire
time to con&s;ider of them, but would give their reply
by two of the clocke at the farthe&s;t, and &s;end the &s;ame
unto us by Me&s;&s;engers of their owne; The Me&s;lage and
Propo&s;itions you &s;hall receive herewithall.</P>
<P>After the Lords and Gentlemen had received the&s;e
our Propo&s;itions, they then (as wee were informed)
made ready all things for their departure, and ha&s;tned
away with &s;peed, yet to keepe the people in expectati|on
whil&s;t they might with the more &s;afety depart the
Towne, They &s;ent us up to the Hill by three Gentle|men,
Ma&s;ter <HI>Stocker,</HI> Ma&s;ter <HI>Seymour,</HI> and ma&s;ter <HI>Button</HI>
an an&s;wer to our Propo&s;itions, but before their me&s;&s;en|gers
came from them, all their Carriages were gone
out of the Towne, and the Lords and Gentlemen rea|dy
to take hor&s;e, the an&s;wer wee have herewith &s;ent
unto you.</P>
<P>But by that time we had received, and read this their
Lord&s;hips reply, there came Me&s;&s;engers unto us from
the Major and Citizens of <HI>Wells,</HI> who a&s;&s;ured us that
the Lord Marque&s;&s;e and all the company were gone,
and had left the Towne, and therefore petitioned us,
that the Sould<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="tech" EXTENT="1 letter">ers might not come down, nor attempt
any thing again&s;t them. Upon which relation the
Souldiers looking round the Countrey, they e&s;pied
the Lord Marque&s;&s;e and all the company marching a|way,
<PB N="7" REF="4">
and gone about three miles off, neere unto a
Towne called <HI>Gla&s;senbury,</HI> &s;ince which time we have
received certaine intelligence from one that continued
with them unto this very day; That they marched that
night unto <HI>Somerton,</HI> a Towne neere unto Sir <HI>Iohn Fo|wells</HI>
hou&s;e, from which place went the Lord <HI>Paulet,</HI>
and many other Gentlemen from the Marque&s;&s;e unto
their homes: The Lord Marque&s;&s;e and tho&s;e that
were left, &s;tayed at <HI>Somerton</HI> untill Munday morning,
and then left that Towne, and are gone and &s;etled at
<HI>Sherborne,</HI> as we are credibly informed. Sir <HI>Ralfe Hop|ton</HI>
and Sir <HI>Francis Dodington</HI> with &s;ome others re&s;ol|ving
not to leave the Lord Marque&s;&s;e, but to keepe
under his protection, for that the whole Countrey doe
take Sir <HI>Ralph Hopton</HI> for no better then a Rebell.
There are reports that they intend to returne into this
County againe to bee avenged for this affront: Very
probable it is, that they goe about to get more &s;trength
to come into this County or into <HI>Wilt&s;hire,</HI> for <HI>Shir|borne</HI>

hath beene the&s;e ten dayes, that they will very &s;pee|dily
put their Co~mi&s;sion in execution about <HI>Sarum</HI> and
<HI>Warmin&s;ter;</HI> Wherefore it is held mo&s;t nece&s;&s;ary, that

to his own home; which if they &s;hall refu&s;e to

come on, and make their way; and &s;o marching, when
they came within Mu&s;quet &s;hot they gave fire upon
them, and &s;o continued till they came within the
