The true Copy of a Letter sent from Portsmouth by GEORGE GUILLIMS to Mr ROBERT WHITNEY dwelling in Herefordshire ; and intercepted amongst others by some of the PARLIAMENTS Troops : Whereby it doth plainly appeare that the Papists or Malignant Party , doe seeke out all wayes and meanes to work the ruine and destruction of the Protestants . Noble Master ,

HAving ever been ambitious to serve you , and alwayes desirous to have you with us , I have thought it part of my love and service to acquaint you with our proceedings here in Portsmouth ; where Colonell Goring our Generall hath declared himselfe for the King , and the whole Towne and Garrison ; Colonell Goring hath a Commission , for the raising of Horse and Foot from the King : And if you please to bend your selfe this way , 't will bee as honourably and well taken , as if you should bend your course to the North : also if you intend to meet the King , I think you will assoone doe it here as anywhere , for his Majesty is here expected ; The condition is thus , If you raise horse and bring them in here , levie money there is as yet none allowed , but this be sure , you shall receive your own entertainment as Captane ; you shall have conduct money , and halfe a crown a day for every horse ; here you shall finde all your old friends , Captain Donnell Lievtenant Colonell , Captaine Bellinghim , Captain Burgesse , my selfe , with many others of your acquaintance : stirre up your selfe and write to all your friends , and try how strong you can make your self , you may write to Mr Manington and the rest of your friends the Catholiks and Divines about you , and see if they will furnish you with each a horse and a man ; as for Armes here is none , therefore you must furnish your self at Bristow or otherwhere , for all other things , Ammunition and Artillery here is enough ; you must provide your selfe with two Trumpeters , if they be three they shall be welcome ; as for Armes you will have them better cheap and with lesse trouble at Bristow than at London . Send this newes with all speed to Captaine Charles Price , and tell him that the Lord Wentworth is our Generall of the horse , and see what horse he will set you forth with , for I doubt not , but he will forward you in the businesse ; the journey is not long , Chichester is in the midway , but faile not to send away a trusty Messenger whether you will come or no , that the place may be kept open for you , for I have engag'd my selfe that there shall be an answer in fourteen dayes . Thus hoping of your respect to my care I rest with my true love , and Captaine Burgesse his respect ,

Your ever loving Servant to command George Guillims .
