An
Extract
out
of
a
LETTER
from
a
Gentleman
of
Quality
,
wherein
this
ADDRESSE
was
sent
up
to
be
Printed
.
SIR
,
I
Send
you
inclosed
the
Addresse
of
this
County
,
just
as
it
is
desired
to
be
Printed
,
to
avoyd
surreptitious
Copies
,
which
I
leave
to
your
care
to
be
done
,
with
all
speed
possible
;
and
that
we
may
have
some
Copies
sent
down
by
this
Bearer
my
Servant
.
I
suppose
the
sale
of
it
will
abundantly
pay
the
Printing
.
And
it
had
so
good
a
Reception
,
that
I
would
not
for
any
Money
we
had
been
neglectfull
in
it
.
The
Parliament
Commissioners
were
mightily
displeased
with
it
,
and
the
City
Commissioners
as
well
satisfied
;
unto
whom
there
has
been
given
a
Copy
of
our
Addresse
,
and
a
Letter
also
sent
to
the
Common-Council
.
My
Lord
Generall
being
advised
aforehand
by
—
not
to
receive
any
Addresse
,
told
him
,
He
would
consider
:
But
when
the
Gentlemen
came
,
he
received
it
;
and
not
opening
the
Paper
,
told
them
,
He
understood
the
scope
of
it
was
to
have
the
Parliament
filled
,
which
he
had
intelligence
the
Parliament
would
consent
to
,
and
so
hoped
their
desires
would
be
answered
.
He
told
us
;
He
would
endeavour
to
have
the
Parliament
filled
,
and
sit
without
interruption
,
gave
thanks
to
the
Gentlemen
of
the
County
,
for
their
kindnesse
,
and
took
notice
how
great
Obligation
he
had
to
the
Gentlemen
of
the
North
;
and
said
,
He
would
support
both
the
Ministers
and
Gentry
.
Some
Presents
of
Venison
and
Wine
were
very
acceptable
to
him
:
As
likewise
the
appearance
of
the
Gentry
,
who
met
him
with
about
300
Horse
.
I
wish
that
as
many
persons
of
quality
as
can
,
would
meet
and
wait
on
him
at
Barnet
,
where
his
generall
Rendezvouze
will
be
on
Monday
next
:
And
if
you
hear
of
any
surprize
that
may
be
offered
from
the
Army
at
London
,
and
Sectaries
,
it
will
be
very
acceptable
to
give
him
notice
of
such
Designs
and
motions
:
Though
indeed
the
Generall
is
cautious
enough
both
of
his
Person
and
his
Army
;
for
when
one
of
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
pressed
him
to
come
to
London
with
one
Regiment
of
Horse
,
he
replyed
,
He
understood
he
was
obnoxious
to
a
great
Envy
,
and
the
Anabaptisticall
Party
was
numerous
about
the
Town
;
and
judged
it
absolutely
unsafe
to
goe
without
his
Army
;
which
consisteth
of
5000
Foot
,
and
2000
Horse
,
all
well
appointed
.
I
am
confident
,
he
will
maintain
whatsoever
the
House
will
do
when
it
is
filled
up
;
and
I
believe
will
be
against
the
pressing
an
Engagement
.
I
am
SIR
,
Your
humble
Servant
,
H.
C.
Northampton
,
Ian.
27.
1659.
The
Addresse
of
the
County
of
NORTHAMPTON
,
To
his
Excellency
the
Lord
Generall
MONCK
.
WE
the
Gentlemen
,
Ministers
,
Free-holders
,
and
others
of
the
County
of
Northampton
,
humbly
conceiving
that
the
first
Force
put
upon
the
Parliament
,
hath
been
an
Encouragement
to
open
the
way
to
all
the
rest
,
and
finding
that
your
Excellency
under
God
hath
been
the
principal
means
for
repairing
of
the
last
Interruption
,
are
the
more
encouraged
(
having
the
presence
of
your
Excellency
now
among
us
)
to
desire
your
Assistance
in
the
procuring
these
our
just
Desires
,
as
a
visible
means
of
a
happy
Peace
,
and
Settlement
of
these
Nations
.
Whereas
every
Free-born
Subject
of
England
is
supposed
to
be
present
in
Parliament
,
by
the
Knights
or
Burgesses
of
the
place
where
he
liveth
,
and
thereby
is
presumed
to
consent
to
all
things
that
passe
in
Parliament
:
So
it
is
now
,
that
there
is
not
one
Knight
for
all
the
Counties
in
Wales
,
nor
for
divers
Counties
of
England
,
and
some
of
them
the
largest
in
England
,
as
that
of
York-shire
,
and
for
this
County
,
and
the
Burroughs
but
Two
of
Nine
.
I.
Therefore
we
desire
,
That
all
vacant
places
may
be
supplyed
,
whether
they
became
vacant
by
Death
or
Seclusion
,
and
that
those
that
were
secluded
by
Force
in
the
Year
1648.
may
sit
again
:
And
that
no
previous
Oath
or
Engagement
may
be
put
upon
any
that
is
chosen
by
his
Countrey
,
to
sit
and
Vote
freely
in
Parliament
.
II.
That
no
Free-born
Subject
of
England
may
have
any
Taxes
levyed
upon
him
without
his
consent
in
Parliament
.
III.
That
the
Fundamentall
Lawes
of
England
,
the
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
the
Propriety
of
Goods
,
may
be
asserted
and
defended
according
to
the
first
Declarations
of
the
Parliament
,
when
they
undertook
the
Warre
.
IV.
That
the
true
Protestant
Religion
may
be
professed
and
defended
,
all
Heresies
and
Schisms
discountenanced
and
suppressed
;
A
lawfull
succession
of
godly
and
able
Ministers
,
continued
,
and
encouraged
,
and
the
two
Universities
,
and
all
Colledges
in
both
of
them
,
preserved
and
countenanced
.
V.
That
all
the
Souldiery
that
will
acquiesce
in
the
judgment
of
a
Free
and
Full
Parliament
,
in
the
promoting
and
setling
a
happy
Peace
upon
these
Foundations
,
may
have
their
Arrears
paid
;
and
as
many
of
them
as
the
Parliament
shall
think
necessary
,
may
be
continued
in
the
Publick
Service
:
And
that
as
many
of
them
as
have
been
Purchasers
of
Lands
from
the
Parliament
,
may
either
enjoy
their
Bargains
,
or
their
Money
paid
back
with
Interest
,
and
some
considerable
advantage
over
and
above
,
as
the
Parliament
shall
judge
may
be
more
expedient
to
the
good
of
the
Nation
.
This
Addresse
was
presented
to
his
Excellency
the
Five
and
Twentieth
of
Ianuary
,
by
Colonel
Benson
the
High-Sheriffe
,
attended
by
Forty
or
Fifty
of
the
principal
Gentlemen
of
the
County
,
and
subscribed
by
above
Ten
thousand
Hands
annexed
thereunto
,
and
three
times
as
many
more
whose
Names
there
wanted
time
to
engrosse
.
