and by the undue means of the said mother perswaded and prevailed withall to withdraw absent and hide herselfe from me her lawfull loving and faithfull husband and she being so unduly kept from me and seduced by evill Counsell and most destructively advised against me by the said Samuel Massey and his wife and others their Agents and Confederates by base flattery and adulation whereby she is now prepared not onely to deny mee to bee her lawfull husband but also to beleeve that the said lawfull marriage shall be nul'd and made void and shee be put in a capacity to marry with some other person of honour so that those cursed Counsels and Instruments have wrought a resolution in her tender yeares not to live or cohabite with me her lawfull husband and as being bound in conscience so with great care and diligence have I sought all lawfull wayes and meanes and made all uncessant and civill applications both by letters and otherwise for the begetting of a true understanding whereby I and my said wife might have enjoyed each other with comfort and in the feare of the Lord as man and wife ought to doe all which my most faithfull endeavours proving fruitelesse by reason of that hell hatcht blacke destroying influence and sordid interposition that the said Massey and his wife and their flattering false hearted instruments and Agents have had and practised upon my too much credulous and misled wife being altogether in their unhappy custodie and shifted from place to place unknowne unto me I am now with great griefe of hart constrayned to publish Declare to the world these my unparalleld and heavie oppressions above said and to the end the said Massey and his said wife shall no longer delude any young gallant by exposing their daughrer my lawfull wife to sale under the notion of a young great heire which the said Massey and his wife have done since shee hath beene my lawfull wife and since shee hath beene rended and torne from me And therefore I the aforesaid abused George Chamberlaine do hereby publish declare and make knowne to all people that the foresaid Jone is my reall and lawfull wife that the said marriage was had and solemnized between us according to the known lawes of this nation by with the free and full consent of her selfe the said Massey her father in Law her naturall mother and before them and in their presence and in a lawful Church by a lawful Minister without force or fraud for in truth before the said marriage did take effect I the said George Chamberlain did pay unto the said Massey and his said wife in consideration of the cost that they had beene at in the education of my said wife the full and just sum of five hundred pounds currant money which the said Massey and his said wife received accordingly Besides I bestowed above one hundred pounds currant moneys in apparrel other necessary accommodations for my said wife and therefore through Gods assistance I do speedily resolve to use all lawfull wayes and means to reduce my said lawfull wife to her sweet cohabitation with me that we may live together in the feare of the Lord and to gain her out of the hands of those destroying flatterers whose accursed keeping man and wife asunder God will never blesse I doe further declare sincerely from my heart that I never gave my said dearly beloved wife any just cause by word or deed to withdraw her desired selfe from my society but am resolved by Gods Grace faithfully to love and honour her and plentifully to provide for her all the dayes of my life according to Gods holy Laws and Commandements And further I declare and publish my free resolution by Gods Grace to passe by and bury in eternall oblivion all former prejudices whatsoever either by her tender too much credulities or by her harkening more to the voice of flattery then the heart of loyalty nor shall I take advantage of any thing heretofore perpetrated by her mother or father in law against me unto whom I shall yet have a civill and very tender regard if complied withall in time and shall obliterate all former unkindenesses with these strong weapons of true love and gentle courtesies wherein I hope all persons and power both millitary and civill understanding the candor and truth of the premisses will abhor to take part with those who most indirectly go about to seperate my selfe and my dearly beloved wife whom God by his holy orders hath lawfully joyned together Lastly I do hereby further Declare that from the day of the date hereof I do give publick notice and warning to all people whatsoever that they do not lend or trust my said Wife for any monies wares goods or chattels food or raiment or for any other thing whatsoever without my Warrant and authority first had and obtained in writing at their and every of their perils All which I have beene most tenderly unwilling to declare to the world but that I am inforced thereunto by reason of those malignant advisers that have a vast prevailing influence upon my Wife and dayly go about to implunge her in great and vast debts thereby to supply and bring about their wicked purposes and contract great debts upon me to hasten my overthrow which they desire Dated under my hand this 28. day of July 1653. GEORGE CHAMBERLAINE The full substance of this Declaration above written is fully proved upon oath by seven substantiall honest and undeniable Witnesses and by Gods grace shall be maintained to be full of Candor and truth with hazard of the life and fortune of my selfe her lawfull Husband George Chamberlaine To his honoured and dearly beloved VVife Mrs. Ioane Chamberlaine these with fidelity present at Colonell Graveners house in the Mewes My most deare Wife HAD I not been debard of all civill applications by Colonell Gravener in my personall wayting on you or in the delivery of my Letters I doubt not but that I should have given you so clear a demonstration of my true integrity and so plainly have disclosited the wicked conspiracies of these most hell-hatcht Incendiaries which now I feare sit at the stern of thy tender years and seek this accursed dissolution between us that their most suttlest inventions could never have had power to have made these delusions penetrate upon thy tender and innocent soule Truly my Love I hope you cannot but be sensible before this how these irreligious counsellors indeavour to make a prey of thee and thy reputation to bring about their ungodly and selfish designes which tends to no other purpose then the destruction both of thy body and soule And therefore my heart it is my soules desire that thou wouldst shun these abominable advices and return into the bosome of thy dearest Husband which at present for thy sake is exposed a Prisoner at the Marshall Generalls house in the Mues not far from thee or at least a civill visit
