Three incomplete manuscripts in the autograph of Robert Vaughan, Hengwrt: (a) An alphabetical list of Welsh personal names and place-names, A-C, with some identifications. Opposite the entry 'Asser mab Efrog cadarn brenhin ynys Brydain', Iolo Morganwg has written 'Wonderful ignorance, in Mr Vaughan of Hengwrt' (22 ff., mutilated); (b) A Chronology of British History from Vortigern to Cadwaladr, followed by what Robert Vaughan terms a 'digression' repairing some errors and explaining some obscure points in the same. In it he refers to a copy of Gildas' Epistle De excidio Britanniae seen by his 'cousin Jon. Jones an antiquary of our countrey' with Sir Robert Cotton, kt and bart. There are also references to 'Coch Asaph'. This essay appears to be a draft and there is a break at p. [18], (17 ff., of which the last two are blank; unnumbered except after the break referred to); (c) A chronicle of Welsh history from 972 to 993 (incomplete). This also appears to be a draft (8 ff., of which the last three are blank).

Mr Cressett has just arrived from Ireland where he made the campaign. Is told that he went to Cambridge but does not know where he is there. He sent Owen's letters to the postmaster. Parliament opens very promisingly: they voted addresses of thanks to the King and General and supplies to the uttermost. They have not sat that day. When Owen writes next he should frank his letters.

Congratulations on the birth of a son. Prays that God will continue those Owen has and send him many more. May Owen's race fruitfully branch and spread out into all the neighbouring counties: and may they be as useful to posterity as the stock from which they grow was in time past. His wife also after three days' dangerous travail has had a thumping lusty girl on 2nd June. The French fleet has braved the English these twelve days: Sir William Williams was in the heat of the engagement and in one of the two ships that fought.

Is disappointed not to find a small bill with Owen's letter. Expects the interest, and the writer must not fail his landlady at midsummer. Some say half the fleet has gone to the Straits and that the rest stay about the Channel, that the Spaniards are mauled at Barcelona, and that the French squadron met our Straits fleet homeward bound.

There is a scurvy report that Mr Solicitor-General has fallen ill at Worcester which the writer hopes is not true. If so, Owen will have had the news, for bad news is generally winged enough. When are the Flint Assizes? Ned Mostyn says that he is for the country very speedily. The affairs at Rome are not yet accommodated. The old man seems resolute and says he would rather resign than prejudice the rights of the Church. The town will have it that 'Hogen would be Mogen' and meditate mischief against us, but, though they may wish well, their horns are short. They may have North Holland wind, but the writer hopes that 'we' have as many ships as they. Soldiers who have gone away will not be 'our countrymen' according to a doctrine they have set on foot that a subject taking service under a former prince loses his allegiance without allowing any local allegiance. The Bishop of Oxford died; the Bishop of Hereford is said to be dead. Mr Heylyn, Mr Dodwell and the Warden of All Souls are named as competitors for Dr Lamphire's place of Hist. professor.

Has received two bills for Owen from Mr Monk: they are for £1,750, and are enclosed. Mr Green was present and says there is no doubt of good payment. Other money matters. He will send Owen's watch and silk by Mr Green who will be leaving in about ten days.

Business matters. Wonders why Owen's letter of the 24th came no sooner than last night: there must be some error in the post ... The six regiments are sent for from Holland. The writer hopes to get Mr Lewis a post in one of them. The trunk of a man was found three nights ago near Queen's St, and his arms, legs and thighs next day thrown out of the Savoy into the Thames: his head is missing: no one knows who he is. This and minatory letter's sent to six or seven Protestant noblemen make great noise. PS Mr David Morris's business. The writer encloses his account to Owen being an itemised account totalling £45.8.0. This includes £6.10.0 for two pieces of gadian silk at £3.5.0 each; for spectacles with gold frames, glasses and case £1.12.0; mending Owen's watch and a new key 10/-.

Their gazettes are but thin-woven of late, and the city Mercury, the writer hopes, continues to give Owen what occurs. Parliament is to meet the 15th January. All Catholics are to be out of commission. Commissioners are to be sent to treat with the Prince of Orange - some bishops and some temporals: Canterbury, Winchester, Ely, Halifax, Nottingham, Middleton, Preston, Godolphin or some of them. As the Earl of Danby took York, so the Earl of Bath has seized his own government of Plymouth and therein imprisoned the Earl of Huntingdon. Lord Delamere moves about and seems unwilling to stop at lesser things than London.

The Prince is still at Exeter much surprised all England is not yet come to him: none but tagrags and western weavers stir. Dr Burnes, Ferguson, and Balfour - that murdered the Archbishop of St Andrews are of his Council: they have already assumed episcopal jurisdiction and would have forced the clergy to read a prayer for their success but all refused with scorn. The King marches next week.

The French King has just published reasons that have obliged him to take up arms at this time and which ought to persuade all Christendom of his sincere intentions for preserving the public peace. It is a manifesto of 19 leaves and just came into the writer's hands as the post goes off. He has also sent another manifesto to Rome in which he tells them that he will send troops into Italy to seize the dukedoms of Castro and Ronione and Avignon too, until he be satisfied and the Duke of Parma restored. These are angry matters, and the writer is afraid they will be singing à la guerra, etc.
