“SIR,--For the better accommodation of these unhappy differences,
if you please there may be a cessation of arms and working, and to
engage your honour for the return of my commissioners to-morrow by
ten of the clock, they shall wait upon you in your Leaguer; where
they shall vindicate me from being the only obstruction of the
general peace. So, in expectation of your sudden answer, I rest
your humble servant,
“H. WORCESTER.
“August 13, 1646.”
