SIR,

I Have here sent you a Coppy of a Petition, which is this day presented to the Committee at Bury, and from thence to the Earle of Manchester (of which presenters, though unworthy, I am one) and now on the way to Cambridg to the Earl, it was consented to and subscribed by 2000 hands of able and sufficient men, with much alacrity and willingnesse, who I beleeve confidently wyll spend their last drop of Blood in defence of the Parliament and famous City of London: I have sent it you up to publish the same, it may be it will comfort your City to see others of your mind; I beleeve it will be at the Parliament about Friday at the furthest, for a confirma∣tion of our disires: it was drawne by many able Gentlemen and Divines, and the same petition is now on foot in Norfolke, and you will heare of it the next weeke, I beleeve by that time the report is come at Oxford, the Cavaliers will have no great mind to visit us as they much threaten, I speake of the least: I am sure more subscribed then I mention, and Multitudes more would have done if we had had time.

Your most affectionate friend, E. I.
