Gibbons was present and three or four hundred pounds agreed to be sent A Letter was written to the Estates of Scotland to procure Massey and the English to be in est●eme Master Gibbons sometimes acquainted me where we were to meet Lieutenant Col. Baines Test●mony A little while after the death of the late King there was a Meeting at the Swan at Dowgate where severall persons were but whether M. Gibbons was there I know not but Captain Titus was there and gave a large commendation of the young Prince and moved that a Petition might be drawn up and sent to the Prince from the Presbyterian party here there was a debate upon it and this designe was looked upon as the onely visible way to preserve the Presbyterian party and to bring the Prince to the Crown Colonell Bartons Testimony A while after the death of the late King I was going into Cannon-street and at Dowgate I met with Will Drake who desired me to meet him at the Swan at Dowgate when I came there I found Capt. Titus Leiut. Col. Bains and divers other persons I believe M. Gibbons was not there I came in while they were in discourse and I could not well hear them but at their rising I asked M. Drake what was the occasion of their Meeting and he told me that Capt. Titus had given a good report of the Prince and did desire that some addresses might be made to him that thereby he might be taken off from his Cavaliering Councellors After a while William Drake came to me for 10l which he said was to furnish a friend of his which did want an 100l he desired I would not deny him and because he was a good Customer to my house I did len● it him and after I heard it was for Capt. Titus As for the Prisoner I think he was not at the Swan at Dowgate for I did not know him till afterwards Major Alfords Testimony At the Meeting at the Swan at Dowgate where divers were Captain Titus made a large Narration of the Princes deportment declaring how inelineable he was to cast off his Cavaliering adherents if he were but assured there was a People in England that stuck to their Covenant he was weary of his other Councels and was ready to apply himself to the ends of the Covenant A Petition was brought to the Bear in Bread-street where it was read and d●bated among us and agreed to be drawn up and Capt. Titus and Drake were sent away with it I doe not remember that Master Gibbons was at either of these Meetings There was Money raised for Titus Drake had 10l of me he had it in private Capt. Titus had 30l for his Journey He went over twice I think and if so the second time Master Gibbons was there the second time I saw Master Gibbons he brought me to his Chamber and the third time he and I went with some Papers to Gravesend agreed on at Master Lov●s These Papers were either a Commission or Instructions or both together in one but this was the substance That the Lord Willoughby and others should go to the Treaty at Breda and to presse the King concerning this Agreement with Scotland Master Gibbons was at Master Loves house when the Commission and Instructions were agreed upon he and I went to Gravesend and I think he carried the Papers but of this I am sure that he knew the end of our going we tarried there all night and delivered the Papers to M. Mason I did goe to Callice when I came back but I doe not know whether the Papers that I brought over being read at Master Loves house were read all at one time or not if they were then Master Gibbons was there I was present when the Letters came after Dunbar Fight at M. Loves the Letters came from Col. Massey they gave an account of the Fight there and of the estate of Affaires and withall writ for Money and Armes to be sent by way of Holland I cannot say M. Gibbons was present There was Money agreed upon there to be raised for Massey and Titus M. Gibbons was many times at the Swan at Dowgate he was constant at the Club But after M. Drake fled we did take
