Sir,
THe reason why Master Shutleworth subscribed not this Letter, is, for that before it could be made up, I was by many of my fellow Deputy Lieutenants, upon the occasions mentioned in their and my Letters, herewith sent suddenly, called away from Preston to Manchester, whether Master Shutleworth is not yet come, pardon I pray you the foulnesse of the Letter, in regard of the shortnesse of time, and multiplicity of our occasions.
Manchester in Lancashire, the 24. of June, 1642.
