I Cannot learn that any Jewels more are pawned , then I have formerly expressed , neither of the sale of any Jewels , save divers Collers of Pearls , part of the Proceed is remitted for London , a large sum having been offered me by the party above mentioned ; and I take the rest will be employed in Warlike Munition , expressed in the enclosed note which I have drawn out of the Originall Commission , which Hand was well known to me , all must be speedily furnished , and if for the presumed service , it is not like the distempers there will be appeased without shedding blood , which God avert . I do purpose to lay wait in what ships the said Munition will be laden , which shall be advised , if you do think fit to give any notice hereof to the Parliament . I pray you let my name be concealed ( pour diuter le tiltre despion ) although I do with Zeal and Arder affect the good Cause , yet would I not willingly be seen in this manner , in writing hereof . I understand by an eyewitnesse , that all the Jewels are brought here again to be pawned ; and amongst them the great Coller of Rubies fetcht from Hamborough : Also the Three Brethren 4 or 5 very great Diamonds , with divers more , but no money to be had thereupon in this place ▪ as the partie employed therein doth tell me ; so it is like somewill be staked , untill the Munition for Warre shall be satisfied , whereof I have heard an Inklin . I did see M. Webster measuring or looking upon a Morter to shoot fire-balls , of the widenesse or breadth of the enclosed thread , weighing 4800 l. I hope England will have no need of such Tormenta Bellica , which I believe have not been used there in any Age . M. J. Webster doth hasten exceedingly with all these things ; the Pistols I understand are provided . From Amsterdam 12 Iune new stile , 2 Iune old stile . To Iohn Beauchampe Marchant of London , FOr the Cloth Trade at present , I would advise you to write to him wholly , not to buy in a piece at present , although he pretends loosing his Workemen , or the like : for the loosing his Workmen , J doubt at this time moneys is not so rife in that Countrey , and men so forward to buy that . I thinke little feare , but that if he turnes off or leaves buying , his Workmen will be glad to come againe at more setled times , and it may be sell better Cheap ; therefore above all excuses , as the state stands , wri●e ●im absolutely not to take off any untill further advises ; for if things go badly there , and come to pillaging or destruction , you should have all the Cloth he had in the House to be reckoned to be your Cloth . I feare a storme to arise in the North , and I see it daily grow blacker and darker , for store of moneys is made over to be sent thither , witnesse the rising of the Exchange here so suddenly : And at present here is Order to buy store of Pistolls for Horsemen , and Powder , and neere upon 20 Brasse-peeces to be sent for the North-parts , But the Order is not from the Parliament . 4 Pieces of Bat●ery , of 181.
