with the other Aldermen and I suppose was then Master of the Company when I so stated the case and desired him to shew it to whomsoever that hereafter should question them thereabouts and it would satisfie them which proved the effect so that to this day they have thereabouts received as I know of and I judge I should have heard of it if it had been so having been their friend therein and in the City any further trouble As the said Alderman Jackson were he alive for his time and others since could at least the Paper it self will testifie All that I received in consideration of that whole business for the said Company was they did of themselves for I am sure there was therein no influence of mine make me free or gave me the freedom of the Company Then when Virginia came to be discoursed of which was then held by the contrary Party and Ships were talked of to be sent thither to reduce it some Merchants of London would have excluded Bristol which of my self I then opposed and prevented none of the City being there with me they indeed not knowing thereof And so the exclusion of that trade was prevented which now is become the Principal Forreign Trade of the City In the business of English Tobacco I assisted the bringing forth of that Act against the Planting thereof being discommodious to a greater benefit to the Nation and destructive to Land which in England hath better uses and in procuring the Act for Navigation I bore a share which had its influence on the good of the City When Edward Caple was sequestred in Gloucestershire and so called upon to compound in his absence at Sea and his Wifes Sollicitor had elap'st the day appointed for such as were in his Qualification and she was hard bestead with trouble in the thing I laid by mine own occasion then in London which then was of some considerable loss to me and pittying her condition seeing her in danger of distraction if her matters could not be retrived I went to the Court and being within the Bar had some ruffle with the then Chief Baron who desired me to let them alone and not hinder them in the doing of Justice I told him that I was not there to hinder them in the doing of Justice but that they might do it For what Justice said I is it for a man to loose the benefit of Composition who really intends to comply with the Law because the negligence or falshood of his Solliciter had brought him within the expiration of the day and so excluded him the benefit of Composition as was the case of Edward Caple which to me was a hard case At length I so wrought what with the one Baron and what with the other and the Sequestrator that she was dismist The matter in question being 50 l. a year free Land which as I remember was her Jointure and seven years Arrears thereof which was as much as if I had given it her in her Pocket besides it saved her from Distraction The Woman was Sister to Henry Creswick now Alderman Eldest Son to Alderman Francis Creswick aforesaid Who in Recompence of what I did as hath been said for his Father and his Fathers House and his Brother John and this his Sister Sarah Caple and hir Wifes Father Alderman Humphry Hook as aforesaid then which no man had done more for a Family in this Nation having not only saved him a Composition but delivered him from the force of the Burgesses and the strength of the Great Men of that Party in the Nation notwithstanding that his Estate was in part under Sequestration and the very goods of his House Inventoryed who had a very great Estate as aforesaid and consequently to himself in the quiet enjoyment of what he had by his own Father and his Wives which I think was some Thousands of Pounds thick he having the more of their Estates by how much the state had none and his being freed himself with the rest that had been on the contrary party as at large hath been declared I having been alwayes a tender friend to him and them never having given them so much as the least just personal cause of Offence but having been alwayes in love and tenderness to them as aforesaid I say in Recompence he caused me to be taken from a Meeting wherein We were quietly waiting on the Lord without offence to any with divers of my Friends and fellow Citizens Men of Quality and Reputation in the City in the year he was Mayor and then committed me to the Guard at the Guildhall where with the rest of my Friends I lay all night on the Boards in Georges Chapel then to the Marshalsey an old pittiful house ready as a man would think to have fallen about one's eares when we had large Houses of our own neer which lay for the most part empty And to add no more signed the Warrant for my third Conviction upon the first Bill of which I stood indicted and sate on the Bench as one of the Court that sentenc'd me to Banishment and signed the Warrant for my Transportation though an Alderman that sate by him refused so to do to whom I had done no such Kindness there being only the Relation of Brother in Law between us whose Name is Tho. Langton And to shew what an ingrate spirit lay in his breast and how unworthy he was when I was upon the first Indictment aforesaid and in the words of soberness and moderation desired as it was reasonable a Copy of my Indictment and the Convictions that I might not be put to plead to a thing of that weight as was that of which I stood Indicted the Consequence of which might remove me from my Native Country my Family Children Estate Relations c. barely upon the hearing of a Paper read Minding them that they also as I said We all must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ and therefore it behoved them and us so to do as that we might be able to give a good account before him telling them also that if the Case were theirs and if they stood where I did which for ought they knew I said they might and that for their Consciences as was my Case they would if it fell within their Consideration desire the same which drew teares from some in the Hall Into a great rage he fell and in great bitterness of spirit Unprovoked unexpected unthought of when all were silent very falsly and maliciously and with the highest Ingratitude and unworthiness said to this effect That I and my Complices had sate in Judgment upon their Estates and his in particular who never sate in Judgment upon him or them or their Estates or was one of the Committee but helped them as hath been declared To whom I replyed I never sate in Judgment upon you but have saved you and this is thy gratitude and I added some such like kind of payment
