privato Sigillo Thus you see how malice still pursued Master Alexander at the heels in all the latitude and extent thereof Yet did that good God who first took him into his protection now raise him up friends again in his greatest troubles and extremities And when now he was ready to be utterly undone and swallowed up of his adversaries his Father in Law Master John Havors of Shelfanger in Norfolk to whom he owes all the observation and duty of a son and what shall ever rest in him to expresse his thankfulnesse who beofre this time was disswaded against him from doing any thing for him by means of his adversaries who daily did instill into his ears rumours of ill behaviour and of such things as might settle him in an ill opinion and belief of his conversation thus at length perceiving that it was purposely done that they might onely gain the better opportunity to destroy him he now better looking into the businesse then before which God onely moved his heart unto found out that it was a meer practice from the beginning utterly to undo him without cause and therefore of his own goodnesse presently did compound with the said Fulwood for discharging and releasing the said Fine and paid him and took his Acquittance and had the said Letters Patents delivered to him and paid and satisfied the said Yates and took his Acquittance for the said 130 l. costs and all other demands and in like manner compounded with that unjust and evil man Henry Nevil for the 50 l. given him in the said Sentence for betraying his Client and took his Release also thinking now that he had removed all impediments whatsoever

was enforced to absent himself out of this Our Kingdom into Our Realm of Ireland where he hath ever since continued and that out of his commiseration of the distressed estate of his said son in law his wife and children being desirous to put him in a way to support his own charge hath satisfied the said Fine of five hundred pounds and also the said fifty pounds to the said Henry Nevil and for that also the said Jerome Alexander hath ever since carried himself well and uprightly in Ireland hath therefore humbly besought Us that We would be graciously pleased to grant unto his said son in law Jerome Alexander Our gracious Pardon for the remainder of the said Sentence being onely Imprisonment in the Fleet during Our Pleasure submission to Our said Court and disabling him to use his Practice And whereas We by Our Letters Patents under Our Great Seal of England bearing date at Westminster the eight and twentieth day of March last past before the date of these Presents as well for
