THE OTHER Captain Gothericks honest advice , in answer to the said Sir Hugh , detesting so treacherous and unworthy an act . ORdered by the Commons in Parliament , That these two Letters be forthwith printed and published : H : Elsynge , Cler. Parl. D : Com. Printed for Edw. Husbands . Iuly 12. 1643. SIR , I Am here at Weiton , vvhere I am entertained vvith strange nevvs , which is that Captain Hotham is prisoner in Hull ; Sir John Hotham driven out by the Townsmen , and coming this day to Beverley was first stopped by Boynton , then beaten from his horse , wounded and sent prisoner to Hull : your father and his other Officers are in the same condition ; I thought fit , out of the acquaintance I have with you , and love I bear to your Family , to give you this Advertisement , that you might the better think for your own safety , which to my understanding cannot be , but either by quitting Wrestle Castle , and drawing as many men as you can after you , or else seizing on Carter , and making your selfe Master of that place , which if you do not one of these , assure your selfe you will be made a prisoner by Carter : you may think this a Stratagem ; but upon my Faith I write nothing but what is averred by persons of credit , which comes now purposely from Beverley to give me this Advertisement : you have an opportunity both to secure your selfe and perform the duty you owe to His Majestie as a Subject ; and if in the mannaging of it I can do you any service , you shall find me most really ; Sir , Your affectionate Friend , Hu : Cholmley . I Am now here at VVeighton , but purpose this night to march ( God permitting ) with my Forces towards Beverley : Jf you can certainly make your selfe Master of the Castle , it will be the better course : What you resolve on , do presently , for J am confident else Carter will have Jnstructions to seize on you . To his much respected Friend , Captain Gothericke at VVrestle Castle , These . Captain Gothericks honest advice , in answer to Sir Hugh Cholmley . SIR , I am at Wrestle-Castle , where I received your Letter ; I am so far from entertaining your Motion , as I am thereby incensed to imagine you ( upon just grounds ) nothing my friend : Sir , my affection to you makes me acquaint you with our passage , in my late observations ; which is , that your fame in the rendring up your trust in Scarbrough hath left so ill a sent behinde , in the opinion of the County , as were able to deterre any honest man from treading your steps ; neither have I ( praysed be God ) so little of a Gentleman an honest man , or a good subject , as to be invited to treachery . For your newes from HULL , my Fa●her and the rest of the Officers are in the same station they formerly were in ; Sir JOHN HOTHAM by report is fled the Towne , no man knowing of it : For your advice to me , I am ( assure your selfe sir ) more honest then to rescent it : For Captaine CARTER he hath approved himselfe so reall to me , in every thing as it would render me odious , even to my selfe to entertaine your motion ; for the oppertunity to secure my selfe ▪ I am confident a good cause , and a good conscience , is the cheifest security ; both which , if your advice ( or rather device ) were prosecuted , I should be deprived of . Give me leave J beseech you sir to certifie my advice , by way of answer to you ; there can be no way more happy for you , as J conceive , more secure to your person , estate , or render you more a friend to your Country , then to draw away with you those Protestants , whom you misled by fair and specious pretences of being the KINGS friends , when indeed it is to be the popish parties friends ; ( with whom as this , so all trecherous plots are hatched ) and returne to that cause which you have deserted , and which J am confident your conscience tells you is honest , ( to wit ) the KINGS and Countries cause ; for which you have experience , we did and still doe fight , hereby you shall ingage him ( that really wisheth your conversion ) to professe himselfe continually , Sir , your Servant in Gods Cause , William Gordricke . VVrestle Castle , 28. of Iune ; 1643. Sir , I beseech you remember me to Captain Br : Bushell , who knowes my Resolutions to be as reall , as I have aboue specified . FJNJS .
