NEWS FROM Sr. William Waller, THE Lord Grey, AND Sir. Thomas Armstrong, And of Several others Fled from JUSTICE, In a Letter from Amsterdam. To his Friend in London.  
Sr.  
THe horrid villainous Conspiracy of the Sectaries and Republicans in England, is now become the discourse of other Countries, and our Flemish Brothers of of the same Leven, do outwardly show their detestation of such Barbarous Principles, with a seeming grief, that Men professing themselves the most reformed in Religion and Manners, should own and justify, such actions as would make an Jnfidel or an Heathen blush to be suspected guilty of.  
But when I call to mind some miscarriages of the same Party ' in times past, and their dispositions that attended such miscarriages (though never so villainous) I always observed their grief rather to proceed from the disapointment, than the least remorse for the Breach of those Fences that principally secure humane society.  
In the last letter I received from the Northerens parts, I was advised from my correspondent at Breman. That the late famous Sr. William Waller, (after all his shifting in these parts) had acquired the dignity of a Governor in that little Common Wealth, and is upon a Capitulation with the Senate there, for removing several English Merchants with their Effects from Hambourgh thither; & endeavours to persuade those States that his Interest with the godly sober Party in England (as he styles them) is sufficient to prevail, with the chief Heads of the Faction there to follow the example of their H●mbourgh Brethren: & by those means in a short time, to make Bremen, compare with any City of this part of the World, in point of Trade, Strength, and Riches. But when I consider, that almost every week in this place, produceth fresh Faces of the same Party from England, and that many of them make it their business to become free Bourghers of this City. I am apt to believe the Party give little heed to the seeming pleasant charms of the little Conjurer of Bremen, & rather look upon the Air of Amsterdam, to be the more sweet, pleasant, healthful and safer place of the two; Besides the infallible conveniency, of being certain to find any Religion here that might be lost on a journey hither, which is a necessary satisfaction to any man that makes a Trade of it, of which those that are lately Arrived from England upon that account, and that seem to be of the chiefest note, are as followeth.  
Francis Smith, John Starkey, Booksellers, John Wilmer, a Leather seller, Mr. Emerton, lately Christened, Dr. Temple a Physician; Convict for Treason, Mr. Dare a Goldsmith outlawed Allison a Scotch Gentleman, broke Gaol, Guttery a Scotchman, a Shoemaker and Preacher, by Trade was one of the Cargalits', and 100 pound Sterling set on his Head, for any that could apprehend him etc. John Welter's, a Mariner, late of St. Katherin's excommunicated; John Brisco and Edward Whitacre upholsterers, The abovenamed Persons were at the procurement of one Abraham Keck, (being the Person at whose House the late Earl of Shaftsbury, died) presented to the States of this City, and by them accepted, and made free Bourghers thereof. There was also one William Lewis (said to be an Evidence by his Trade) endeavoured to be admitted with those that were to have a freedom here, his Petetion was rejected, there being no want of his profession in this place, after which I was told he is Herded amongst the Jews: having suffered himself to be Circumcised, and quite Abandons that company he came over with.  
It is likewise said here that the Lord Grey, Sr. Tho. Armstrong, and Ayliff, who are fled from Justice in England, are at Cleves, a City belonging to the Duke of Brandenburg; And the weather beginning to break more of the said Party are daily expected from England, Of which as often as any of them are admitted to our Freedom, I shall not forget to give you a particular, or of any other matter that may be worthy of your note. In the mean time be pleased to give me leave to Subscribe myself.  
Your most humble Servant, I C. Amsterdam New-stile, Feb. the 16th. 1684.
