The House hath sent for Colonel Cobbett, Colonel Ashfeild, and Colonel Pearson (who have nott yett bin call’d in) to know their pleasures. The Lord Fleetwood this afternoone delivered a copy of itt to the House; many are the feares, and more are the hopes that (after soe many signall mercies) the Lord will nott leave nor forsake us.
