A True copy of a Letter from the Right Honourable Lady, the Lady ELIZABETH HATTON, left at the remove of her honour's household from Stoke near Windsor (upon hearing of Prince Rupert's approach towards those Parts) to be delivered to his excellency.  
SIR,  
THe great Honour and comfort I (though unworthy) have had in the knowledge and favour of that most Excellent Princess the Queen your Mother, made me often joy in my constant resolution to serve her Majesty and all hers, by the best ways and means in my power; and therefore must be infinitely, or most heartily sorry to fly from this dwelling, even when I hear Your Excellency is coming so near it, which howsoever, with all in or about it, is most willingly exposed to your pleasure, and Accommodation in particular, as it must also ever be commanded by his majesty. But Sir, let me humbly offer what my Age and experience of others wisdom and observation hath offorded my understanding; which concludes, that the Parliament is the only firm foundation of the greatest establishment, the King, his Posterity, or Allies, can wish and attain; the defence or conservation whereof, is no way to be effected but by its own Body. And therefore if you should persist in the unhappiness to support any advice to break the Parliament upon any pretence whatsoever; you shall concur to destroy the best groundwork for his majesty's prosperity; whereon there is so great dependence as makes my apprehension withdraw my pen from your farther trouble, that gains me leave to rest  
Excellent Sir, A true beadswoman for his majesty's best prosperity: And your most humble Servant, ELIZABETH HATTON. Stoke the 24th. of October, 1642.
