He asked them which they thought would most direct him to act by a private Captains VVarrant or an Order of both Houses of Parliament and Passes under the Speakers hand And that he was accountable for what he had done to both Houses He also sent Major Keme to intreat Collonell Twaselltons Trooper to come in and drink a glasse of Wine which he did and we referre to him if he had an uncivill word aboard Onely Major Keme told Capt. Lamming were he in the Army of the Councell of Warre he would Vote him to be hanged and he gave him this reason that he knew he had a Commission in his pocket signed by some of those Members to raise a Company of Sea-men to oppose the Army and that he had received ten pounds to that purpose His Commission he shewed the Vice-Admirall and as aboard in Parchment and this was all the reviling language Then for Threatning this we know that he hath been out in a Dogerboate all the Summer And hath when he should have kept Sea been lying a Shoare at Shoarum Hastings c.
