A true copy OF A LETTER from CHESTER, concerning divers Passages of the LORD STRANGE there, sent to a worthy Gentleman, and read in the house of COMMONS.  
SIr I have yours of thirteen instant, and thank you for the good news therein, most of the Letters that came this week were opened, yours to me not opened, nor none of mine but one Letter before the post came, it was here reported that marquess Hartford had given a great overthrow to my Lord of Bedford, God be thanked that so many of the Cavaliers are brought to London, there is such a cursed crew of them given over to all manner of lewd courses, inventing new damnable oaths, we have some here Irish, that pretend they stay for my Lord lieutenant.  
The King this day is expected at Shrosburie, and its thought will be here upon Monday or Tuesday next, many idle rogues billeted near the city, being those soldiers that my Lord Strange hath raised, they carry arms out of this town in the night by carts for my Lord Strange his service, being the arms sent by the Parliament for the service of Ireland, some having been landed out of the ships that were bound for Ireland, and by my Lord Strange his warrant, who hath done more than he can justify, he hath soldiers billeted in several places near the City, and keeps them to attend him, while the King comes into these parts: so not troubling you further, I rest.  
Ordered that this Letter be forthwith Printed and Published. H. Elsinge, Cler. Parl. D. Com.
