<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>IN my la&s;t I adverti&s;ed you of our Agreement to ca|pitulate with the Lord Byron for the &s;urrender of Carnarven, and &s;ix Commi&s;&s;ioners were cho&s;en, three for Major-Generall Mitton, and three for the L. Byron, his Lord&s;hip &s;ent out Col. Edward Vere, Colonel Iohn Vane, and Lieutenant Col. Iohn Di&s;ney, and on our &s;ide were cho&s;en Col. Thomas Glyn, Col. Iohn Car|ter, and Serjeant-Major Hierome Zankey, who have effected the work, &s;o that Carnarven is agreed to bee &s;urrendred to us, agreed by both parties upon this trea|tie, and by each &s;igned. I have here inclo&s;ed &s;ent you the Copy of the Articles whereupon it is to be &s;urren|dred, which I hope will give very good &s;atisfaction, and content to the State.
<PB N="5" REF="4"> I am &s;ure it is a very con&s;iderable &s;ervice; it being a place of great &s;trength and of great u&s;e; And we are now to fall upon other de&s;ignes for the reducing of the&s;e parts to the obedience of the Parliament, but I mu&s;t tell you they are here for matter of Religion a mo&s;t ignorant, and bruti&s;h people; who know very little of God; and it is heartily to be wi&s;hed that &s;ome hone&s;t and godly painfull Mini&s;ters would come to preach the Go&s;pell to them, Indeede there are &s;ome Prelates, and prelaticall Clergy in Carnerven very malignant, and &s;uch as the people are like to profit but little by; except they will &s;tudy to preach Ie&s;us Chri&s;t more then for ought I can here they have done but the Country Townes here abouts have been quite without all manner of preaching almo&s;t, but ble&s;&s;ed be God we are in a faire way to reduce, the&s;e parts to the obedience of the Parliament, (who I doubt not) will take care to &s;end a powerfull mini&s;try &s;o &s;oone as North-wales is totally reduced, I hope that (very &s;hortly) you will here good newes, from Angle&s;ay which is the place of the greate&s;t con&s;equence (in all the&s;e parts, this that we have taken in being very con|&s;iderable al&s;o) Benmorris being a place that hath bin of great u&s;e to the King; I hope it will now be &s;odain|ly in our hands, which is of great con&s;equence; be|cau&s;e of the conveniency of bringing in of divers for|raigne forces thither as hath been often done to &s;erve the King again&s;t the Parliament and Kingdome.

Carter, is a very pritty Gentleman, and full of action; the Country are no little glad of the hopes they have to enjoy what they have in peace; which is in a good way for them, there are in Carnar|ven (with the Lord Byron) many gentlemen of quali|ty, mo&s;t of the cheif of tho&s;e Officers that came from Che&s;ter, &s;ome Bi&s;hops, and divers malignant Clergy, the works are exceeding good and reguler, high works and thick, and deepe motes, I can not give you the certaine number of the Ordnance, Armes, Ammuni|tion, and provi&s;ions, till we be po&s;&s;e&s;t of the Ca&s;tle, but after we have taken a note of them I will &s;end you a li&s;t by the fir&s;t opportunity: but thus much I can a&s;|&s;ure you that they were &s;o &s;trongly fortified that they little thought that Carnerven would &s;o &s;oone have bin in our hands when Byron went thither; but ble&s;&s;ed be-God this work is not put out of que&s;tion, and by the next I believe you will hear &s;omthing both of Angle|&s;ey and Flint Ca&s;tle, but this is all at pre&s;ent from.</P>
