     summary: All which being considered and proved , as it shall , by many witnesses , against whom there can be no exception , I hope I shall not only stand clear in your Lordships eyes , and the eyes of all the world , but that it shall be acknowledged , that I have done most faithfull service to those by whom I have been entrusted ; and that in truth ( which every indifferent man sees ) the unhappy disaster which befell Sir William Wallers Army , did necessarily involve the fate of Bristol , both because I had unfurnished the Citie with men and Ammunition , to supply that Army : and it was necessary for me so to do , because the City was never put into a condition to subsist of it selfe against a Royall Army , although I was not wanting to represent the importance of the place , and the means how it might be defended in certain propositions which I long since sent to your Lordship , and which were by your Excellency earnestly recommended to the Committee , but they were not brought to any effect . Last of all for the Armies , it was thus advertised that the Earle of Essex finding himselfe abused in Pictures , censured in Pulpits , dishonoured in the table-talke of the common people , and a designe on foot of raising a new Army , under the conduct of Sir William Waller , which would soone put an end unto his authority , made complaint of it to the Lords , by them to be communicated to the other House : requiring that his Army be forthwith paid , and furnished with cloathes and all other necessaries , his broken and diseased Forces presently recruited , reparation to be given him in point of honour , for all the calumnies and scandals which falsely ( as he saith ) have been laid upon him , that Waller be called to an accompt for the losse of his Forces in the West ; and finally , that no Commission may be issued out to any one to have the charge and conduct of any Forces , but by his authority .
