And for this purpose we desire, That forty thousand pound may be forthwith provided upon the securi­ty of your Arrears to be ready to be paid out to the Forces to mor­row night if possible. And wee shall be ready to receive from you any intimations for the further prevention of hurt, or inconvenience to the City in this businesse, I remaine
