my Journey so soon nor with such privacy but that I had notice there was a Warrant out to apprehend me and knowing the inconveniences of lying in Prison I was very willing to keep as long out of Custody as I could and therefore I went out of the way and under a borrowed name When I came to my house in Cheshire there were not above 5 of my own Servants that saw me all the while I was there and I saw no body but them but while I was there my Wife sent me an Express that as to the Warrant she hoped it was a mistake and there was no such thing but my eldest Son was very ill and if I intended to see him alive I must make haste up this was the occasion of my quick return and I shall satisfie your Lordships by Proof that I came thither in that manner to avoid the Warrant and for no other Reason L. H. Stew. You say you went to see a sick Child in the Countrey L. Delamere May it please your Grace my Mother that is here wrote me word that my Child was not well L. H. Stew.

Pray Madam will you lift up your Voice that my Lords may hear what you say Lady Delamere My Lords This Child of his that was in the Countrey was more than ordinarily pretious to him in regard it was born to him at that time when he was an innocent honest Man as he is now a Prisoner in the Tower for high Treason above two years ago and I think it increased his affection to the Child that God had given it to him when he was in that affliction My Lord I knowing the affection that the Father and Mother both had to the Child my care in their absence I thought ought to be more exercised about him The Child sucked but I ●●w the Child decline and therefore I was of Opinion that he sho●●d be weaned and I sent up word that if they did not take car● quickly and look a little after him I was afraid he would go i● 〈◊〉 Consumption Upon this my Son came down I saw him not indeed because he was very private all the while he was in the Countrey but while he was there it pleased God to visit his eldest Son with a dangerous distemper upon which my daughter sent for him Post if he intended to see his Son alive And thereupon I think he made what haste back again he could L.
