That there be some of the gentry of that county appointed as a com- 

 mittee, enabled by the rest of the gentry to agree and conclude of such 

 furtherjpropositions as may happen to be necessary for this service, and 

 not here mentioned, and to march along with the army, whose counsel 

 and assistance from time to time I am resolved to use. 



That I have assurance that all manner of provisions fit for an army be 

 prepared and brought to the army the first day it enters. 



That since this army was levied a purpose to guard her Majesty's person, 

 that it shall not be held a breach of any engagement betwixt us if I retire 

 with such numbers as I shall think fit for that service.

My Lord, — We have received from your Lordship an answer to our 

 letter of invitation, noble as yourself, which we hope shall make you the 

 master of such a work of honour, as besides your great service it will be to 

 his Majesty, shall both enable yourself farther and oblige us. We have

 a little delay make all our endeavours fruitless ; and in the general believe 

 there is nothing in the power of us, or of this country, which shall not 

 faithfully serve you ; and more you cannot expect from, my Lord, your 

 most faithful and humble servants,
