General Monck to Mr. Samuel Hammond

Sir,

xxxii. f. 167b.I have received yours of the 17th instant, together with one inclosed from some Honourable and Reverend members of the gathered Churches in London, to which I have sent an answer inclosed herein, which I desire yow, as soone as yow may conveniently, to send to them. Yow may assure those gentlemen that I doe accompt my selfe highly obliged by theire civilitye, and that I shall omitt noe opportunity that I may at any time have to acknowledge it.

What kinde of thing is meant where yow are by a Parliament I know not, nor what by a Senate chosen by the people; they have not as yet bin pleased to acquaint mee soe farr with theire moddell, but I should think, as things now stand, the surest and spediest remedy for all inconveniencyes would bee to lett the present Parliament sitt downe againe quietly, the calling and moddelling another being likelier to take upp a longer debate then may stand either with theire or our safety. I have noe more at present, but that I am

Your very loving friend and servant,

G. M.
