Excerpt: ... proved to the faithful discharging of such trust as you shall impose on him, for the good of the Commonwealth. And thereby you will engage him who remains, Your affectionate friend, Oliver Cromwell. LETTER CXCI. This ''Henry Weston,'' otherwise unknown to all Editors, is a Gentleman of Surrey; his ''House at Ockham,'' not Oakham, is in the neighbourhood of Guildford in that County. So much, strangely enough, an old stone Tablet still legible in Ockham Church, which a beneficent hand has pointed out, enables me to say;--an authentic dim old Stone in Surrey, curiously reflecting light on a dim old Piece of Paper which has fluttered far about the world before it reached us here! ''Brother Ford,'' I find by the same authority, is of knightly rank in Sussex: and Henry Weston''s Father '' lieth buried in the Chancel of Speldhurst Church'' in Kent; his Uncle, a childless man, resting here at Ockham, '' since the 8th day of July 1638, in the clymacteric of his age, 63.''1--'' Reverend Mr. Draper'' has not elsewhere come across me. Happily we can hope he officiates well in Kent; and read this Letter without other light. For my honoured Fnend Henry Weston, Esquire, at his House in Ockham: These. Sir, My Norle Friend, ''London,'' l0thNov. 1653. Your Brother Ford was lately with me, acquainting me with my presumption in moving for, and your civility in granting, the Advowson of Speldhurst to one Mr. Draper, who is now incumbent there, and who, it seems, was there for three or four years before the death of the old incumbent, by virtue of a sequestration. Sir, I had almost forgot upon what account I made thus bold with you; but now have fully recollected. I understand the person is very able and honest, well approved of by most of the Letter genuine, teste me; reference unfortunately lost...
