the marriage, and if some persons are not lately dead, of which he would inform himself, he would yet Clark Gillies Jersey be able to prove it. As for his claiming the crown, he intended not to do it unless it were advised to be done by those who should concern themselves and join for the delivery of the nations.’
It may be remarked that in Monmouth’s commission to be general, dated April 1668, he is styled ‘our most entirely beloved and natural son.’ Again, in a Bailey Button Leopard 5803 commission for the government of Hull, April 1673, he is ‘our well-beloved natural son.’
Note I.— Dragooners and Chargers.
The dragoons, being really mounted infantry, were provided with very inferior animals to Lanny McDonald Jersey the real cavalry. From a letter of Cromwell’s (‘Squire Correspondence,’ April 3, 1643), it will be seen that a dragooner was worth twenty pieces, while a charger could not be obtained under Dustin Tokarski Jersey sixty.
Note J.— Battle of Sedgemoor.
A Esa Lindell Jersey curious little sidelight upon the battle is afforded by the two following letters exhibited to the Royal Archaeological Institute by Naiset Nike Free Run 2 the Rev. C. W. Bingham.
‘To Mrs. Chaffin at Chettle House.’
‘Monday, about ye forenoon, July 6, 1685.’
‘My dearest creature,— This Nike Kobe Venomenom_6 morning about one o’clock the rebbells fell upon us whilest we were in our tents in King’s Sedgemoor, with their whole army. . . . We have killed and taken at least 1000 of them. They are Martin Jones Jersey fled into Bridgewater. It is said that we have taken all their cannon, but sure it is that most are, if all be not. A coat with stars on ‘t is taken. ‘’Tis run through the back. By some ’tis thought that the Duke rebbell had it on and is killed, but most doe think that a servant wore it. I wish he were called, that the wars may be ended. It’s thought he’ll never be able to make his men fight again. I thank God I am very well without the least hurt, soe are our Dorsetshire friends. Prythee let Biddy know this by the first opportunity. I am thyne onely deare, TOSSEY.’
BRIDGEWATER: July Salomon Kalalau Kengät 7, 1685.
‘We have totally routed the enemies of God and the King, and can’t hear of fifty men together of the whole rebel army. We pick them up every houre in cornfields and ditches. Williams, the late Duke’s valet de chambre, is taken, who gives a very ingenious account of the whole affair, which is too long to write. The last word that he said to him was at the time when his army fled, that he was undone and must shift for himself. We think to march with Salomon Ellipse 2 Aero Kengät the General Grant Fuhr Jersey this day to Wells, on his way homeward. At present he is 3 miles off at the camp, soe I can’t certainly tell whether he intends for Wells. I shall be home certainly on Saturday at farthest. I believe my deare Nan Jason Chimera Jersey would for 500 pounds that her Tossey had served the King to the end of the war.
I am thyne, my deare childe, for ever.’
Note K.— Lord Grey and the Horse at Sedgemoor.
It is only fair to state that Ferguson is held by many to have been as doughty a soldier as he was zealous in religion. His own account of Sedgemoor is interesting, as showing what was links:
