TRUE news FROM Somersetshire.  
SIR,  
I Thought good for the satisfaction of Friends in London, to signify, that we have been in the County of Somerset, full of fears: but the cloud (God be thanked) was soon blown over.  
The marquess Harford came on the 25. July, at the assizes to Bath, with divers others, to execute the Commission of Array, where met him divers of our County. The judge having received a Letter from His Majesty to forward the Commission, and to give it in charge, but he declined that as also the Commands of the House, for declaring it illegal; so in his Charge he sailed betwixt wind and water, very politicly.  
On Thursday following (having received little encouragement at Bath) the Commissioners got to Wells, with the Cavaliers; in the interim at Bath, the Constables of some 21. Hundreds Petitioned the judge to Declare his opinion concerning the Commission, which with some reluctancy, being soundly put to it, he concluded to be illegal; and according to a branch of the said Petition, he appointed the Votes of the Houses to be read in open Court, touching the said Commission.  
On Friday the marquess sent for the sheriff from his attendance on the judge to Wells, to require his counsel and Assistance (being joined in commission with them) for the Array, who returned the marquess this answer, that he had received commands from the Parliament, not to join, but further to suppress such their Proceedings, whose commands he was resolved to obey, and further sent him the constable's petition, with the judge's answer, which with the unanimous consent of the County, to refuse except some discontented Spirits) will cool their further going on therein; divers also of the County have petitioned him to depart out of their coasts. And one Master Stroud, a Gentleman of constant fidelity to King and Parliament, who in execution of the Militia, and meeting with the marquess Hartford, in the execution of the Array, showed such courage, with a few against his many Horse, which the country people, seeing with admiration, got up their spirits, and so bestirred themselves, that in short time, they had treeble the marquess power, whereupon he left the place: It was certain, that if the Commission had taken effect, the King would have been shortly in our parts, and it was intended to be made the Aceldama, you may Communicate this for truth.
