Hammond, John, d. 1707.	1655 (1655)	Wing H619; ESTC R11940	10,256	20

in Heamans his hearing and aboard that Ship which he calls himself Commander of Governour Stone and Secretary Hatton both had some words with Mr. Preston the new-made Commander complaining of their injurious assuming of the Government and taking away of the Records threatning that unlesse they would return them again they would compell them away How then did he dis-own his Government and for him to point to Fuller as Governour had not only been base but ridiculous for neither Fuller himself untill after their murtherous assasinations nor the Commission he had from Bennet and Claiborn did own or make him so for after Governour Stone refused to derive or meddle with power from Bennet and Claiborn they erected no Governour at all but gave Commission to ten men Fuller being first in that Commission to be conservators of the peace untill further order then how is Heamans relation true He next after some frivolous relations prosecutes his feigned narration of what his Governour Fuller for untill Heamans made him one he was never any had done in his absence what Messages he had received frō his Governor how obedient he was to the supreme command of Fuller how carefull to follow his Merchants businesses and yet how charitable and relenting to those poor-distressed souls that begged his assistance Hear this O ye Heavens At such time as Captain Samuel Tilman a man ever to be honoured arrived into Maryland he repaired to Governour Stone acquainting him that the Lord Baltemore had not lost his Countrey as was bruted abroad and brought him some instructions and certainties of his Highnesses owning him the said Stone for Governour and when he was reproved by one Captain John Smith then High Sheriff for giving Captaine Stone the frequent appellation of Governour he replyed I must and shall own him and no other for Governour of these parts for seeing my Lord Protector so stiles him and by that title writes to him I neither can nor dare call him otherwise and his example is my warrant Upon this the said Smith as a man affrighted hies him home repaires to Fuller and the rest they treat with Heamans to assist their opposition compound with him for a great quantity of Tobacco and so prepare to oppose all power that should controle theirs Governour Stone sent me not knowing of the compact of Heamans and the rest to Patuxent to fetch the Records I went unarmed amongst these Sons of Thunder onely three or four to row me and despite of all their braves of raising the Country calling in his Servants to apprehend me threatned me with the severity of their new-made Law my selfe alone seized and carried away the Records in defiance at which time what ever Heamans pretends of compacts with Heathens and Papists to destroy them Richard Preston their great but then quaking-Commander shewed me a Letter from Heamans wherein he promised the Ship Ammunition and Men should be at their service if occasion were and incouraged them not to think of yeelding to Governour Stone nor any power from the Lord Baltemore and this was the first discovery that ever was made by Governour Stone and not a man in armes nor intended to be at that time and yet before this meerly upon Captaine Tilmans words and their own jealousies had Heamans confederated with and hired himself to them and yet this fellow must not onely justifie his Judas-like dealings but as it were challenge applause and merit After this my self again unarmed proclamed a Proclamation amongst them put in a new Commander in the face of the whole County met who as people over-joyed to return to their former just Gouernment as in their voluntary and humble Petitions they presenting acknowledged the Lord Protector as Supreme was prayed for and Pardons were as freely consented to as intreated for But those poor-oppressed souls of Severn as Heamans stiles them being of another temper and County more remote having Heamans and his company their assured Janiza●●● rather choosing to lose their lives than their Lordings sent peremtory Messengers to the Governour not such as Heamans relates sets down which we all here know to be invented and rather kept and contrived to be published in England than intended for their Governour who zealously affected peace and twice before had suffered himself rather to be fooled out of his Government than to hazard the shedding of blood But how comes it that their little Agent Strong nor the impudent Author of Virginia and Maryland in either of their whisking Treatises mention these so specious propositions inserted in Heamans his works Heamans you do it scurvily and we shall yet further discover you The joyning with Heathens the plundering of houses the intent to fire your Ship the hyring of Abraham Hely and the horrid treacheries you load us with will more particularly be questioned and answered in another place than here we have your Book for evidence of your charge we only fear you will turn Jack Lilborn and put us to prove it to be yours which if you do we have other reckonings to put on your score You can in nothing deal truly the Letter you pretend you received my self writ I procured another now happily arrived to transcribe it which the Governour signed the contents whereof were That he had been informed upon sight of a Letter pretended to come from you that you intended some disturbance in the Province and had promised Mr. Preston the assistance of your Ship Ammunition and Men he rather conceived it was a forgery and you abused than that any such things really were and hoped you came for a peaceable Trade and to follow your imployers businesse and not to meddle with the differences of the Country promising you all encouragement and justice that could possibly be expected and earnestly intreating that if you had any such resolution you would declare it which had you done and not treacherously coloured it over with promises to wait on the Governour he had retired no blood had been spilt The Warrants you so croud in your Book in the name of the Lord Protector you imagine peradventure will bear you out had you not been hired the jugling had been handsome but now 't is foolish nor can any Rebellion ever bear bulk unlesse it passe on in the name of Supreme Authority For the Letter you pretend you writ you confesse you did it by advice of your Severn imployers yet in that you affirm a monstrous untruth in saying the Government setled in Captain Fuller was since established by the Lord Protector you shall by and by see how all such pretended powers are by His Highnesses absolute Commands null but never be able nor no stickler of you all to prove any confirmation had you had any such thing although you talk much of it you would have posted it and published it to the World in Capitall Letters You great Merchant Richard Owen and his best penn'd-Letter if it be his that ever came from him was

Hammond versus Heamans OR An ANSVVER To an audacious Pamphlet published by an impudent and ridiculous Fellow named ROGER HEAMANS Calling himself Commander of the Ship Golden Lion wherein he endeavours by lies and holy expressions to colour over his murthers and treacheries committed in the Province of Maryland to the utter ruine of that florishing Plantation Having for a great sum sold himself to proceed in those cruelties it being altogether answered out of the abstract of credible Oaths taken here in England In which is published His Highnesses absolute though neglected Command to Richard Bennet Esq late Governour of Virginia and all others not to disturbe the Lord Baltamores Plantation in Maryland By John Hammond a Sufferer in these Calamities 1 Sam 20. v. 23. As touching the thing which thou and I have spoken of behold the Lord be between thee and me Job 22. v. 5. Is not thy wickednesse great and thine iniquities innumerable Job 12. 7. Ye speak wickedly for Gods defence and talk deceitfully for his cause Printed at London for the use of the Author and are to be sold at the Royall Exchange in Cornhill Hammond versus Heamans I Was very opposite to publish my self to the world a fool in print resolving rather to wait the determination of the Supreme Authority of England by whō and not by railing invectives we must be tryed than to have expressed so much indifferency as to have carped unseasonably at the proceeding of these inhuman ingratefull and blood-sucking Sectaries which mention God in their lips but their hearts are farre from him but that I see daily a broaching of lyes one confederating and in the neck of another which begets belief amongst many and carries a vulgar applause along with their action the only way these people ever pitched on to effect their designs and the rather are they credited by our silence We desire to satisfie every man and especially our worthy friends the noble Virginians in England for in Virginia they are sufficiently informed and that by their unbyast discourses and relations they may undeceive such as the hypocricies of these fellows hath deluded This and the inward vexation which perplexeth me to read what they write to hear what 's reported awakes me as knowing more of their deceits and proceedings than any man living I have at this present written lying by me an Historicall relation of the transactions of Virginia and Maryland under the Government and Tyranny of Richard Bennet and Colonel Claiborn with many remarkable passages of such State-policies as they and their creatures used but will for a while forbeare to publish as rather desiring this pen-jarring may cease but if any of this rout shall any more disturbe the world for us they cannot do with their seeming-sanctified lies I will then not spare to acquaint the world what they are and how they live and give each of their Characters to open view which now lyes masked under the hood of holinesse and good disposition in which I shall somewhat more largely answer Leonard Strongs Babylons fall the Book of Virginia and Maryland and other objections and allegations of theirs being all full of impudence and ignorance But that Heamans should dare to write amazes me knowing his imbecillity his villany and therefore I shall in my answer to him briefly and in his own tone anatomize and lay him open to the world a fool to the State a Knave to God a notorious offender whose unfeigned repentance I cordially wish and that his future portion of Grace may over-ballance his former talents of wit and honesty in the want of which the poor man hath been too too unhappy But to the matter Roger Heamans gives a great account in his whole relation of his extraordinary vigilancy and diligence in mannaging of his charge and the trust imposed on him by his owners but omits to insert what a disordered Ship and company he had how mutinous and quarrelsome they were amongst themselves and how upon every drunken bout they had what Swords were drawn what challenges made between the Sea-men and their great Commander insomuch that the Inhabitants observing their carraiges with derision and detestation reported of the fantasticknesse of Heamans and his rude ungoverned Ships Company The insolencie of these were such towards the Inhabitants observing the licentiousnesse of those parts and taking occasion thereby that they would sell commodities to whom they list and lighting on greater prices would of their own accords after delivery made repossesse themselves again scoffing at any pretence of Law or Justice saying as it after proved too true that their Ship was of force enough to awe the whole Countrey inflicting punishments on the Planters and robbing houses as they went all which is sufficiently proved by Depositions already taken He relates how civilly he entreated Captain Stone formerly Governour Stone who refused the title of Governour from him informing him that one Captain Fuller was Governor of the Province and intimates that from that relation he bends to Fuller as Governour ever after How disconsonant to reason this is let any judge that know reason that know the passages that know Captain Stones temper At such time as Bennet and Claiborn came into Maryland and had compacted to take the Government out of the hands of Captain Stone after he had notice of the power they had gathered he likewise impowered himself for defence and was in possibility to have cut Bennet and Claiborn and all off but those few Papists that were in Maryland for indeed they are but few importunatly perswaded Governour Stone not to fight left the cry against the Papists if any hurt were done would be so great that many mischiefs would ensue wholly referring themselves to the will of God and the Lord Protectors determination although the Protestant party with indignation to be so fooled submitted to what their Governour was perswaded to do yet could not but complaine in that particular against the cowardize of the Papists After they had dispossest Governour Stone of his Authority and had by promises to dis-bandon their party perswaded him to do the like they presented him with a draught for resignation under his hand which when he refused their whole party upon notice given on a sudden returned to the astonishment of himself and affrightment of his wife and children and required perenitorily to subscribe to what they had written which he did saying It matters not what it is I will being thus enforced write what ye will have me it cannot be binding nor valid Lo here the observance of Bennet and Claiborns promises and after this they would have impowered him as Governour from them which with scorn he refused nor did Governour Stone ever in his own esteem nor in the eyes of those that had been faithfull to his Government look on himself as lesse or otherwise than Governour nor ever received other title how be it he ceased to act untill he heard further from England yet
