Treasurer Southampton and Lord Ashley to Sir Thomas Player. "Wee have seene your certificate of what moneys you have received from the severall Receivers of the hearth money. which for this last year wee find to be little above 50,000l. Nevertheless though that seems strange unto us yet it is a guide unto us to know how to charge and how to question them." Will therefore write to all said receivers most seriously hereupon, even to the sending for them by messengers. "All wee have to recommend unto you is that as the moneys shall be repayd unto the citty or as you have any other opportunity to make loans to His Majesty and accomodate the Treasurer of his Navy soe you will continew your wonted diligence and good affections and that you will receive those tallyes which he hath lodged in your hands as your security. You know how punctuall His Majesty hath beene with the citty in point of repayment of principall, [or] at least still to
continuew the due payment of interest." We may therefore reasonably expect a more considerable advance from the City than on other occasions we would press it to. |
