A Letter from His Highness the Lord Protector, sent into the North of England, touching Lose and Idle persons, and such as come from abroad to kindle fire in ENGLAND. As also for the Country to act according to Law. Gentlemen, WE doubt not but you have heard before this time, of the hand of God going along with us in defeating the Rebellious Insurrection, and we hope, through his blessing upon our labours, an effectual course will be taken for the total disappointing of the whole design; Yet knowing the restlessness of the Common Enemy, to involve this Nation in new Calamities; We conceive ourselves and all others, who are entrusted with the preserving the Peace of the Nation, obliged to endeavour in their places to prevent and defeat the enemy's intentions; and therefore as a means especially conducing to that end, we do earnestly recommend it to you to take order, that diligent Watch (such as the Law hath appointed) be duly kept for taking a strict account of all strangers in your County, (and principally near the Sea coast) which will not only be a means to suppress all Lose and Idle persons, but may probablely cause some of those, who come from abroad to kindle fire here, to be apprehended and seized upon, especially if care be taken to secure all them that cannot give a good account of their business, and may also break all dangerous meetings and assemblings together. Herein we do require and shall expect your effectual endeavours, knowing that if what by Law ought to be done, were done with diligence in this respect, the Contrivance of such dangerous designs as these would be frustrated in the birth, or kept from growing to maturity. I Rest, Your very affectionate Friend OLIVER P. Whitehall 24 March 1654. FINIS.
