A LETTER FROM SHREWSBURY, SETTING FORTH The Design which the Anabaptiss and Quakers had to secure the Castle, and to have received five hundred more unto them in opposition to the PARLIAMENT. SIR, HEre was a design by the Sectaries, for to make this place a seat of war, one Hill who commanded the Castle, and his Lieutenant (being their Creatures) had resolved yesterday in the evening, to let in 500 of them; But it was thus prevented, Hill and his Lieutenant and some of his soldiers that were Quakers and Anabaptiss, being gone to a Conventicle, the rest who were left in the Castle, considered of what consequence it might be, should the design take effect, resolved to draw up the Bridge (first having turned out those of the Quaking Party) and deny their Officers entrance back, which they did, though with Cap in hand Hill begged admittance, but the honest soldiers, sent for one Ingolsby a Captain of Horse, who quartered in the Town, and took him over the wall into them, who hath made Hill, the late peremptory governor close Prisoner. This was much to the Joy of this place. I have nothing more than to desire your pardon for the trouble you now receive from Your obliged Servant. Salop. February 27. 1660. LONDON, Printed for T. H.
