A True Coppy of a Letter from the Right Honourable Lady , the Lady ELIZABETH HATTON , left at the remove of her Honours Houshold from Stoke neer Windsor ( upon hearing of Prince Ruperts approach towards those Parts ) to be delivered to his EXCELLENCIE . SIR ,

THe great Honour and comfort I ( though unworthy ) have had in the knowledge and favour of that most Excellent Princesse the Queen your Mother , made mee often joy in my constant resolution to serve her Majesty and all hers , by the best wayes and meanes in my power ; and therefore must be infinitely , or most heartily sorry to flie from this dwelling , even when I heare Your Excellency is comming so neere it , which howsoever , with all in or about it , is most willingly exposed to your pleasure , and Accommodation in particular , as it must also ever be commanded by his Maiesty . But Sir , let me humbly offer what my Age and experience of others wisdome and observation hath offorded my understanding ; which concludes , that the Parliament is the only firme foundation of the greatest establishment , the King , his Posterity , or Allies , can wish and attaine ; the defence or conservation whereof , is no way to be effected but by its owne Body . And therefore if you should persist in the unhappinesse to support any advice to break the Parliament upon any pretence whatsoever ; you shall concurre to destroy the best ground-work for his Maiesties prosperity ; whereon there is so great dependance as makes my apprehension withdraw my pen from your farther trouble , that gaines me leave to rest

Excellent Sir , A true Beades-woman for his Maiesties best prosperity : And your most humble Servant , ELIZABETH HATTON . Stoke the 24th . of October , 1642.

London , Printed by R. B. for William Ley , 1642.
