A COPPY OF MASTER HENRY Wilmots Letter to Mr. William Crofts at the Hague, intercepted at Sea by one of the Ships in His Maiesties service; and sent up to the Lord Admirall, and was delivered to the Com∣mons by the Lords at a conference of both Houses.

AMongst other Evidences of the disposition and designes of those in credit about the King and Queene, a letter was intercepted at Sea by one of the Ships now in his Maiesties ser∣vice, and sent up to the Lord Admirall, was delive∣red to the Commons, by the Lords, at a Confe∣rence of both Houses, which was dated the two and twentith of Iune, from Yorke, written by Mr. Henry Wilmot, one of those who were privie to the Conspi∣racy of Mr. Iermin and others, about bringing up the Army the last yeare: and directed to Mr. William Crofts a servant of the Queens. By this Letter it ap∣peares, that they have had often conferences of di∣viding the estates of the Parliament men, and that this is the use they intend to make of the Forces rai∣sed by his Maiesty: And that they are grown so bold upon His Protection, as to vilifie and deride the

Parliament, and not onely to contemn their s••••∣mons, but shamefully to abuse then Messenger with violence and scorn. Which Lett••r followeth in these words.

For Mr. Crofts at the Hague.

Deare Will.

BY these last Letters to the Queen, you will find a great alteration of businesse h••re: the King that very lately appeared almost abandoned by all his Subiects, is now become the Favourite of the King∣dome: yet I bele••ve his Enemie•• are not so neglec∣ted as not to bee able to raise an Army to oppose Him: and indeed h••re lies t••e iest, for they will bee followed iust ••nough to forfe••t their Estates, which I have heard you often s••••, were better bestowed on some of us. Yesterday there came a Messenger from the Hou••e, who had Order, and d••d raise th•• pow∣er of the County) to intreat Bartly, Ashburnham, and my selfe, to come to speake to the House: but the King gave the Messenger a short Answer, and an Officer or two gave him a short Cudgell, so hee is returned to London (a fine Gentleman) with his Arme in a Scar••e▪ De••re Will, preserve me in your good opinion, for I assure you I am.

Iune 22. Yorke 1642.

Your affectionate humble servant, H. Wilmot.

Pray if M. Iermin be with you, present my most humble service to him.
