A copy of a Letter sent from Bristol.  
Sir,  
SInce my last unto you by the Post, and the post hitherward intercepted by the enemy, the case is changed; for on Thursday last we rendered the city of Bristol, as by the Articles here enclosed you may perceive, but what faith hath been kept there after, let the robberies and spoils of every particular person declare; amongst which, I praise God, I am escaped with my life to the town of Southampton, with my son John; but before I could come forth of the gates of the City of Bristol, I was deprived of my money, plate, and baggage from behind my servants, who were thrown off their horses, and the same cut off their backs, and utterly lost, and themselves and their horses in like condition, for aught I know, and only we ourselves, with some other gentlemen, escaped hither with our lives on Friday night last; and on Saturday came in also the late governor of Bristol, Col. Fiennes, and his brother, with the remainder of the whole soldiery, who were served with the like sauce, such is the faith held with the present Victors. My wife and family in all this time not knowing whether we are alive, or where we are; nor know we which way to send home, in regard all the ways are full of the enemies sources, unless the carrier of Wells hold his course from London thither, which if he doth, I pray let your man Jonathan by that Carrier, present his mother with a line or two of our safety in this place and still beseech you, though our fortunes be altered, to show your good affection to Jonathan and Joseph, with my best respects to my loving Gossip and yourself, remain  
Your faithful friend and servant, I. P. Southampton, July 31. 1643.  
Pray let your man Jonathan write out two or three copies of this enclosed, and deliver one of them to my son Chillingworth, with my love to him and my daughter; a second to Mr Shephead, with my commendations, in hope to see him and you all, with what speed we may, which should be very speedily, did not the King's horse lie in our way to London; and a third to Mr. Peter Va●depu●t, my commendations also to him and his wife, &c.  
FINIS.
