Letter to Edmund Dunch, Esquire, 19th March, 1652-3 Two Letters near each other in date, and now by accident brought contiguous in place; which offer a rather singular contrast; the one pointing as towards the Eternal Heights, the other as towards the Tartarean Deeps! Between which two Extremes the Life of men and Lord Protectors has to pass itself in this world, as wisely as it can. Let us read them, and hasten over to the new Year Fifty-Seven, and last Department of our subject. LETTER CCXV NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, or the Municipal Authorities there, as we may perceive, are rather of the Independent judgment; and have a little dread of some encouragement his Highness has been giving to certain of the Presbyterian sect in those parts. This Letter ought to be sufficient reassurance. 1[Between these two would come, if it existed, a letter which on December 22, 1656, was read in Parliament from the Protector, "concerning the arrears due to the Cheshire Brigade, who bore a great share in the heat of Worcester fight, and ever since have been unpaid." The petition which accompanied it was referred to a committee.] VOL. III. -1 |
