A TRVE COPPY OF A LETTER from CHESTER , concerning divers Passages of the LORD STRANGE there , sent to a worthy Gentleman , and read in the HOVSE of COMMONS .

SIr I have yours of thirteene instant , and thanke you for the good news therein , most of the Letters that came this weeke were opened , yours to me not opened , nor none of mine but one Letter before the Poste came , it was here reported that Marquesse Hartford had given a great overthrow to my Lord of Bedford , God be thanked that so many of the Cavaliers are brought to London , there is such a cursed crew of them given over to all manner of lewd courses , inventing new damnable oathes , we have some here Irish , that pretend they stay for my Lord Lievtenant .

The King this day is expected at Shrosburie , and its thought will bee here upon Munday or Tuesday next , many idle rogues billetted nere the Cittie , being those souldiers that my Lord Strange hath raised , they carrie armes out of this Towne in the night by carts for my Lord Strange his service , being the armes sent by the Parliament for the service of Ireland , some having beene landed out of the ships that were bound for Ireland , and by my Lord Strange his warrant , who hath done more then he can justifie , he hath souldiers billeted in severall places neere the City , and keeps them to attend him , while the King comes into these parts : so not troubling you further , I rest .

Ordered that this Letter be forthwith Printed and Published . H. Elsinge , Cler. Parl. D. Com.
