A
Letter
sent
by
General
MONCK
To
Vice
Admiral
GOODSON
to
be
communicated
to
the
rest
of
the
Officers
of
the
Fleet
,
in
Answer
to
a
Letter
with
some
Proposals
lately
sent
to
Him
from
Them
.
Dear
Countrey-men
and
Comrades
,
I
Am
glad
that
you
have
not
forgotten
your
old
friend
,
and
that
by
this
occasion
,
I
have
such
advantage
to
hear
of
your
hearty
affections
to
me
,
and
kind
remembrance
of
me
,
and
that
you
have
such
a
deep
sense
of
the
divisions
amongst
us
,
and
the
miserable
consequence
thereof
;
but
I
am
very
much
faded
that
you
have
entertained
such
mistakes
and
misapprehensions
of
of
our
proceedings
.
These
enclosed
Papers
will
fully
certefie
you
,
that
we
have
just
grounds
of
dissatisfaction
,
and
that
we
cannot
comply
with
such
violent
and
unwarrantable
undertakings
,
both
against
our
reason
as
men
,
and
against
our
Consciences
as
Christians
,
that
you
and
we
should
take
our
Commissions
and
pay
from
the
Parliament
and
yet
to
violate
their
Authority
,
after
such
solemn
assurances
of
obedience
and
faithfulness
,
contrary
to
the
expressed
word
of
God
,
and
our
own
late
Addresses
,
I
hope
I
am
so
well
known
to
some
of
you
,
that
I
am
none
of
those
that
seek
great
things
to
my self
,
or
delight
in
the
sheding
the
bloud
of
English
men
,
much
lesse
of
Christian
Brethren
,
but
to
preserve
the
name
of
God
from
blasphemy
and
reproach
,
which
our
actings
(
I
wish
I
could
not
call
them
)
treacherousness
and
perfidiousness
have
occasioned
;
whereby
Jesus
Christ
and
his
truth
have
been
evil
spoken
of
,
which
makes
our
very
lives
bitter
to
us
,
and
to
assert
the
integrity
and
honour
of
this
Army
,
which
is
very
dear
to
me
,
I
have
been
forced
with
the
Parliaments
Army
under
my
command
,
(
though
with
much
grief
of
heart
)
to
bear
our
Testimony
against
the
late
violence
of
the
Army
;
and
the
reasons
thereof
you
will
find
in
our
printed
papers
,
&
our
endeavours
to
perswade
them
in
England
to
remove
that
force
which
they
have
put
upon
the
Parliament
.
As
to
your
Proposals
,
I
beseech
you
seriously
to
consider
and
lay
to
heart
these
following
Answers
.
1.
To
the
first
,
you
are
pleased
to
intimate
the
joy
of
the
Cavaliers
that
they
see
us
stand
to
our
Declaration
,
but
I
believe
,
that
this
violent
interruption
of
the
Parliament
was
the
greatest
courtesie
to
gratifie
that
Family
and
Interest
that
could
be
imagined
in
the
World
,
(
and
I
could
wish
it
were
not
designed
)
.
I
should
be
very
sad
to
strengthen
and
hands
of
of
the
wicked
,
but
let
me
assure
you
,
this
ariseth
from
the
slanders
and
calumnies
which
men
cast
upon
us
in
England
,
as
if
we
that
assert
the
Authority
of
those
that
brought
the
late
King
to
the
Block
,
are
for
introducing
that
Family
,
which
I
take
God
to
witnesse
,
we
in
our
very
thoughts
abhorr
,
and
shall
spend
our
blood
in
opposition
to
any
Single
person
whatsoever
.
2.
You
are
pleased
to
compaire
our
present
differences
to
that
of
the
Israelites
,
with
the
two
Tribes
of
Reuben
,
Gad
,
and
half
the
Tribe
of
Manasses
)
and
I
earnestly
pray
that
there
may
be
the
same
issue
,
for
if
they
will
restore
these
persons
to
their
lawfull
Authority
which
have
been
established
by
many
successes
,
and
for
the
difference
of
which
they
so
lately
hazarded
to
blood
,
we
shall
quietly
sit
down
and
waite
upon
the
providences
of
God
in
our
places
and
Stations
,
and
to
this
end
we
have
sent
Commissioners
into
England
,
men
faithfull
and
approved
,
what
you
are
pleased
to
instance
concerning
my
satisfaction
in
the
year
1653.
When
this
Parliament
was
interrupted
formerly
,
I
shall
answer
you
to
that
,
it
was
never
in
my
Conscience
to
go
out
of
Gods
way
under
the
pretence
of
doing
Gods
work
,
and
you
know
the
variety
of
times
doth
much
vary
the
nature
of
affaires
,
and
what
might
then
patiently
be
submitted
unto
,
we
being
engaged
with
a
forraine
Enemy
in
a
bloody
Warre
cannot
be
drawn
into
a
president
at
this
time
;
after
our
Repentance
and
assurance
of
Loyalty
and
Constancy
;
you
may
be
pleased
to
remember
that
the
consequence
of
the
former
Interruptions
was
the
Introduction
of
a
single
person
,
and
a
manifest
breach
of
all
our
promises
and
engagements
,
so
that
if
God
blessed
me
with
success
,
then
I
do
much
more
through
mercy
expect
it
now
,
when
I
put
all
to
hazard
for
the
Glory
of
God
and
the
good
of
his
people
.
3.
I
do
acknowledge
that
the
Army
hath
been
in
the
hand
of
God
and
instruments
of
good
to
these
Nations
,
yet
if
they
shall
apostate
from
the
Cause
of
God
and
his
people
in
exposing
them
to
Arbitrary
Power
,
and
the
wills
of
men
,
in
taking
upon
them
to
Abollish
Lawes
,
raise
money
without
consent
of
the
people
,
destroy
Ministery
and
property
,
and
force
Parliaments
,
I
cannot
but
witness
against
such
proceedings
as
unwarrantable
not
suted
to
any
rule
either
from
God
or
man
.
4.
I
have
taken
care
by
Garrisons
in
this
Country
,
and
assurance
from
the
whole
body
of
the
Nation
,
that
they
will
not
own
the
interest
of
Charls
Stewart
,
and
that
they
will
preserve
the
peace
of
the
Commonwealth
in
obedience
to
the
Parliament
;
So
that
if
that
part
of
the
Army
in
England
will
set
up
a
distinct
Interest
in
the
Nation
,
in
deserting
that
Cause
that
hath
been
so
precious
to
us
,
and
cost
so
much
blood
and
treasure
for
to
establish
their
own
interest
and
greatness
.
I
do
declare
in
the
presence
of
the
Great
God
I
cannot
own
you
,
nor
joyne
with
them
;
Now
having
opened
my
heart
to
you
,
and
as
you
know
my
plainness
and
sincerety
,
that
I
am
none
of
those
that
dare
assert
any
thing
against
my
Conscience
,
from
that
experience
ye
have
had
of
me
,
I
heartily
begg
your
belief
and
credit
,
that
I
shall
keep
in
the
way
of
duty
and
endeavour
to
do
the
Lords
work
in
my
Generation
,
and
shall
not
own
any
corrupt
interest
whatsoever
,
and
do
desire
of
God
his
blessing
according
to
my
Integrity
in
this
undertaking
,
having
this
good
Testimony
in
my
own
Spirit
,
that
I
have
nothing
but
publick
and
Righteous
ends
upon
my
heart
,
and
by
all
these
respects
and
kindnesses
that
I
have
received
from
you
,
I
desire
you
will
joyne
with
us
in
your
desires
that
this
Parliament
may
be
restored
to
the
execution
of
their
duties
and
trust
,
with
freedome
and
honour
;
I
have
no
more
but
my
hearty
Love
and
service
to
you
all
,
desiring
God
to
bless
you
all
,
and
make
you
happy
instruments
for
the
good
of
these
Nations
in
your
severall
places
which
shall
be
alwayes
the
Prayer
of
dear
Friends
.
