A54511	Peters, Hugh, 1598-1660.	Mr. Peters last report of the English vvars occasioned by the importunity of a friend pressing an answer to seven quæres, viz. I. why he was silent at the surrender of Oxford, II. what he observed at Worcester it being the last towne in the kings hand, III. what were best to doe with the army, IV. if he had any expedient for the present difference, V. what his thoughts were in relation to forreigne states, VI. how these late mercies and conquests might be preserved and improved, VII. why his name appeares in so many bookes not without blots, and he never wipe them off.	1646.0		.xml	application/xml	4009	113	63	First , In that you heard not from me upon the surrender of Oxford , I heare so much of it on both eares , and the distance was so little from London , that I forbore to report that to you , which you might have beene an eye-witnesse of at so little charge and trouble : onely let me be your true informer , that you had nothing committed then by ours , that had not its rise from integrity and faithfulnesse to the State , accompanied with such skill , as the Lord was pleased to dispence ; and let me tell you , men upon the place ( in such case ) can better judge , then lookers on afarre off , I hope you will not lose by that bargaine in the end , though it seeme for present an ill penniworth . Lastly , men are not in their proper worke , which excentrick motions produce many things uncoucht : I need not particularize , but when I see the languishing perishing conditions of many Counties , thorough want of preaching I must be bold to say to wrangling is none of our proper worke ; I think we might doe God more service in Studie and Pulpits , then in waiting at great mens doores , and working them up to their selvish interests .	cache/A54511.xml	txt/A54511.txt
