Letter from sundry inhabitants of the parish of Covent Garden to the Wilts 
Committee.—Gentlemen, whereas we are informed that John Fenn, late of the 
Cathedral Church of Salisbury was constrained about two years since to leave his 
abode and family there, by reason he had manifested his faithfulness to the cause 
of God and his good affections to the proceedings of the Parliament, the clergy of 
the Cathedral Church being his chief persecutors ;—he then, by the advice and 
assistance of some friends who are Members of the House of Commons, came to 
have his abode in Covent Garden parish ; where, after living six months without 
employment and being brought into great necessities, he was by their assistance 
made clerk of that parish so soon as it was made parochial. The premises 
considered, and finding him a person of merit by his good comportment in this 
place, we have thought fit upon his request to recommend him to the pious 
consideration of the Committee of that county; that so the house wherein he _ 
formerly dwelt in Sarum, with a convenient stipend during his life, may be 
settled upon him for his more comfortable subsistence with his family, as in their 
judgments and wisdoms they shall think fit. Signed by the following inhabitants
