produced in the next place on Leiutenant Colonel Bardsey his Testimoney the behalf of Faulconer who testifyed that he put his hand to the Petition at Breda that the Lord Craven was desired to deliver

Petition again that the Queen of Bohemia told the Petitioners the King would do for them what he was able but about 4 a clock in the morning he went away and they had no other answer that the Contents of it was to put the King in minde of his promise that some money might be delivered to the Petitioners for discharge of their quarters at Breda being asked by the Court if there were any expressions in it as Barbarous and Inhumane Rebells he answered no being asked if to that Petition which Faulconer drew he would have had Barbarous and Inhumane Rebells added he answered yea Faulconer did move to
