Do not delay further, for fear of penalty. You can pretend no danger, as the auditor has to come up for the accounts of 1643, so we beg you to make up the accounts for the two years and pay in all the moneys in your hands; also your further receipts as they come in.

160. i. Treasury Commissioners to the seven auditors of the King's revenues. The receivers of the King's, Queen's, and Prince's revenues, on account of present disturbances, were allowed until 15th of May to give in their accounts, but they neglect to do this, to his Majesty's great disservice. You are, therefore, to call the receivers to you, and to send or bring hither to Oxford breviates of their accounts with speed, that it may appear what moneys are due to his Majesty.
