The story as it unfolds:

SYDNEY PROVIDED AN OCCASION TO REFLECT ON THE MYSTERIOUS WORKINGS OF PROVIDENCE; CROMWELL SEPARATES FREEBORN FROM MERCENARIES THROUGH THE IMPOSITION OF DISCIPLINE

From the section: Histories

Today (as yesterday and the day before and as will be tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow; I welcome if truth be known the work and the exhaustion) we drill; we rise as the Moon wanes, and break our camp in Cedric’s fields; baggage secure, we ride and I think I see, or probably what’s more likely false and wicked sinner that I am, Anne watching me from the walls of the Rectory, the rising sun behind us, toward St Ives, and Huntingdon, and Cambridge.

From the section: Letters

Dear Colonel Hampden,

Your petition to Capt-General Essex on the soldiers’ outrages hath borne fruit; to wit, Essex having requested £100,000 to pay his Men, the Parliament hath demanded it of the City. Of which I’m no longer a member, at least, not of a Company; the Merchant Adventurers having banished me yesterday, at the urgings of Mr Halpenny; who is as well seeking to pauperize me through the Courts to recoup sums he claims owed him per the Contract of 1638.
