Vanes Zany: But now a cc-Commissioner with his Master for the Revenue of the King, Queen and Prince: He hath, with the help of his Master, made himself Farmer of the Kings feeding— grounds at C●…slow in Buckinghamshire (worth 1800. or 2000 l. per an.) at the Rent of 200. l. per an. which he discounts: He is possessor of , where he and his family lives: He is Keeper of Richmond House for his Countrey-Retreate: He is Commissary for the Garrisons at White hall & the Mues: He hath an Office in the Mint, He hath ten children, and lately gave 5000. l. with a daughter, after which rate the State must find 5000. l. for portions.

3 Sir Henry Vane, junior, son to the elder, Hath totally outed Sir William Russell, and is sole Treasurer to the Navy, a place worth at least 6000. l. per annum. in time of war, especially when the Lord Treasurer as his friend; more when he is his Father.

A very Parliamentary way to pay Portions.

He and Master John Trenchard went to several houses about the Strand to hire lodgings for Maliguants, gave good rates, but would have the best furniture; and they being Members of the house, would secure them; Master Bagleyes was one, Master Rose caused it to be Sequestered and got it to himself; for which he and Master Trenchard fell out: But Bagley (though an honest man) got not his goods again; Which crosses the Proverb.

1 JOHN Warner, Lord Major before his time: One of the Treasurers at War; hath three pence a pound for what he receives in, and as much by Ordinance for what he pays out, besides great gratuities to help men to their moneys, and buys good pennyworths of bad debts, then pays himself: He is also Treasurer for receipt of all moneys that were due upon the Ordinance of the third of August 1643. and by the Ordinance of the 18. of August 1643. he is made Treasurer for loan money. Judas carried but one bag and is said to be a thief. Warner thou seest hath three but my modesty will not say say so of him, yet he hath purchased at easy rates the Arch Bishop of York's best house the Castle and Manor of Caiwood, but he is one of the new Militia for London, and therefore the City forces must justify whatsoever he doth.

These are all Common Councellmen, and have such employments as thou seest, and have besides been doublers of loan moneys, and buyers of others lones at 9 and 10. s. in the pound; receive their full interest at 8 l. per centum, out of the excise, and their principal in good pennyworths out of Bishop's lands, buying 6000. l. worth of land for 1000 l. in arrears, or loan money which they bought for 4. or 500 l. The benefit of which bargains, is so great, both to Parliament— men, Soldier and Citizen; as ('tis feared) they will not admit of the Kings offer to repay them their purchase money, and preserve the Church Land for Church maintenance, but rather break the Treary, continue the Army, Excise, Taxes; their employment, and our Ruin, which, God Forbidden.  
THAT thou mayst know, Reader, the benefit of Military Officers, I have thought fit to set down their several pays according to the establishment of the Army of my Lord of Essex, viz: A Colonel of foot 1 l. 10. s. the day, which amounts to 42 l. the month. A Lievetenant-Collonell 15 s. the day, which amounts to 21 l. the month. A Sergeant Major 9 s. the day, which amounts to 12 l. 12 s. the month. A Captain 15 s. the day, which amounts to 21 l. the month. A Colonel of horse 1 l. 10 s. the day, which amounts to 42 l. the month for himself; and for six horses 1 l. 1 s. the day, which amounts to 29 l. 8 s. the month. A Lieutenant Colonel of horse 15 s. the day, which amounts to 21 l. the month. A Captain of horse 1 l. 4 s. the day, which amounts to 33 l. the month; and for six horses 1 l. 1 s. the day, which amounts to 29 l. 8 s. the month; in all 52 l. 8 s. the month for his own personal entertainment; besides false musters: And thou must know, that every Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, and Major doth receive pay for a Captain, besides his pay as a field Officer, so that a Colonel received monthly 42 l. as Colonel, and 21 l. as Captain, and 29 l. for six horses; in all 94 l. the month, besides he receives pay for his whole Company which should be 120. men in a foot Compay, the pay whereof is 158 l. 4 s. the month while his Company perhaps is not 60. men. But the monthly entertainment of a troop of horse was 349 l. 6 s. and advance money to raise regiments for every Company 390 l. but more for a troop. This good pay plunder and Freequarter, made very many members of both houses take the employment, so that of 19 Regiments which were raised at first 16. of them were Commanded by members of both houses viz.  
Earl of Stamford, Earl of Peterborough, viscount Say and Seal, viscount Mandivile Lord Roberts, Lord Brooke, Lord Rochfort, Lord St. john's, Lord Wharton, Mr. D Hollis, Sir William Constable, Sir Henry Chomly, John Hampden, Arthur Goodwin, Thomas Grantham, Sir John Merrick, and divers of these besides had troops of horses, some members put their sons into Command, but themselves took the pay, the Lord Say received for 13. months, from the 30. of July 1642. to the 26. of July following 9081 l. 16 s. being the pay for the two troops of Mr. James Fiennis and Francis Fiennis his sons; Mr. Pym for the same months received for his son Alexander's troop 45 40 l. 18 s. although his son never had 26. men in his troop besides Officers. Thus thou seest why our Loans, taxes, excise, and sequestrations are continued, how they and Bishop's lands are devoured; and yet neither the Army nor Parliament men Satisfied.    

READER I intended before this time to have given thee this Century as promised, and also a Catalogue of such of the Aldermen, Common-council, and Militia-men of London as receive pay and profit by the continuance of the Excise, Impositions, War and Discord between the King and His houses of Parliament, that the world might know the reason of such Votes and Actions as promote the War, prolong our Payments, detarde the Kings Return, obstruct our Peace and Happiness; but besides my weekly employment (which thou knowest) I have been necessitated (danger approaching) to remove my quarter before Michaelmas, Motly-Century; not that I will defrand thee of any one Parliament man or Citizen, if (as formerly) I may be connived at in the perusal of the Journall-bookes, and books of the Committees.
