A Letter sent from his EXCELLENCY Robert Earle of Essax, to the Lord Major of LONDON.
My Lord and Gentlemen,
I Received so great expressions of affe∣ctions both to the Cause, and to my selfe, from the City of London, at my departure from you, that I cannot dis∣paire; but to obtaine my saite from you, that shall be an advantage to the Common-wealth; upon a true judgement of the conditi∣on of our affaires, and of that of the Enemy; I am confi∣dent that we may bring this businesse to a quick and hap∣py conclusion; God doth blesse us with so good successe daily: and the other part by their plundering and bur∣ning of Townes and houses, grow so odious that they grow weaker, we stronger every where; yet are we in one great streight, and such one, as if be not speedily remedied, may dash all our hopes, and endanger that peace and liberty which we so much labour for; our treasure, which must maintain our Army, growes near an

end, and you well know our Army consists of such as can∣not be kept one day together without pay: what a ruine it would bring upon us all if a disbanding should happen, I leave to your judgements: My desire unto you is, That you would supply us with a speedy loane of one hundred thousand pounds, which I am confident would (with Gods blessing) bring these unhappy distractions to an end quickly: Your City hath hitherto had the honour, next to God, to be the chiefest safety of the Kingdome and Parliament, this will render you to all posterity the fi∣nishers of this great worke. If any thing of particular love or respect to me may be any argument here in; I shall take it for the greatest honour that hath befalne me and will oblige myselfe to acknowledge it by the utmost and most faithfull endeavour of
Your faithfull friend ESSEX.
From the Rendezvouz at Northampton, 15. Sept. 1642.
