Part of a third Letter from Glocestershire 18. of the second Month. 1660.

Dear Sir.

I Have here under my hand, given you these Particulars. First, As to the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of my house; and wife by the new Militia, (inserted in a paper to Master C.) it is very true, as also every particular in the same paper, which I am ready to justifie; Mr. Palmer also being searched 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Arms, and all with us, who have born Arms for the Par∣liament.

Secondly, I shall give you the Names of some of the Mini∣sters abused.

First, Mr. 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Minister of Rencombe, in the County of Glocester, was the person who died through the rude, and inhumane usage of one Broad, an ejected person, and a wretched crew, who broke in upon him, and did unto him as in the said Paper is mentioned: the said Mr. Warren laid his death to their charge, as justly hee might.

Secondly, One Mr. Fletcher, Minister at Badgington, in the County of Glocester, who (as in that Paper) was beaten by one of his neighbours, coming in upon him in his house, with Bills, threatning to cut off his head; and had his Goods ta∣ken by him, violently out of his house; flourishing a Carpet of his upon the top of a Bill, along the streets, who with his wife and family, are fled for their lives, who yet not∣withstanding, was perswaded to come to preach at the said place on Lords day sennight, where soon 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hee came, was again sorely abused (by one Mr. D. a Cavalier) on the place, in the face of others.

Thirdly, One Mr. Edward Finch, Minister at Lenington in the said County, was, since that, without any order, vio∣lently

halled out of the Parsonage-house, hee, his 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and children cast out in the streets, where, for some nights they lay, no one daring to receive them into their houses; the poor man being sick, was taken away seven miles by some of the said crew, toward the Gaol, as they pretended. One Mr. S. (such a person, who was ejected thence) being got∣ten in again, and keeping violent 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 that Mr. Finch and his Family, are in a sad, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 condition.

These things I do affirm on my own knowledge, having 〈◊〉〈◊〉 personal conference with the persons, and relations of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 afflicted ones. I shall acquaint you more in my next, but what is here said, bespeaks the tender fellow∣feelings, and earnest supplications of the Saints.

Sir your unworthy Brother,

Glocestershire 18. of the 2d. Month. 1660.
