A95822	February 24. 1644. The most true and unanswerable answer of Charles Vaghan, to the most false and scandalous aspersions of Mr. Philip Francis, set forth in his last answer to my reply to his	Vaughan, Charles, gentleman.	1645 (1645)	Wing V118; Thomason E258_29; ESTC R212481	9,553	8

Parliament To this Mr. Francis saith that he discharged them out of Prison but not of their Assesment but took 800 l. in part of the 1720 l. and the rest they are liable to still whereas by his usurped unlimited power hee sent those Malignants out of the Town into the Enemies Quarters where they fight against the Parliament so that now we have no power to raise the rest no more than we had to get Sir Alexander Carew again when Mr. Francis refused to secure him and let him goe away when hee was in Plimouth Ninthly Why Mr. Francis or any other would not suffer the 800 l. which hee had upon Assesment of Mr. Kelland and the rest to be disposed by the Commissioners of Assesment according to the Ordinance of Parliament hee shewes no reason nor indeed can Tenthly As for my books of Account I have offered to prove to the Accountants of the Kingdome that the Enemy hath them all and I have done all that I can to procure them but I beleeve Mr. Francis doth and will hinder it knowing that I shall prove him false thereby and it is a simple argument for him to say that I have my Accounts because I remember 734 l. which was payd to Major Herbert which I remembred the better by conferring with my man who payd it and it being the greatest summe that I ever payd at one time to one man for Officers onely Eleventhly Whereas Mr. Francis saith That I and my man might have come out of Exeter with the Earle of Stamford and then we had passed very safely and secure as the rest of the Earles company did and so hee inferres that I might have brought my Accounts with me I did come out with the Earle and yet was robbed by the Enemy of all that I had and so were many other as is too well known Thirdly I come to Mr. Francis most unchristian and false slanders of the dead and absent most faithfull men to the Parliament First that worthy and ever to be honoured Colonell Gold As 1. Whereas Mr. Francis saith That there is a great deale of money due from the said Colonell to the Parliament all men that will speak truth know and beleeve that he is out of purse and stands ingaged many thousand pounds for the Parliament 2. Whereas Mr. Francis saith That Col. Gold prest the Committee in Plimonth and Deputy Lievtenants to search every mans house in the Town and to take from them by force all such money and plate as should be found in their houses if they would not part with it otherwise It will be proved that some wel-affected in Plimouth who had plate the Souldiers being like to mutiny for want of pay offered their plate to the Colonell and desired that the rest who had plate might be intreated to part with it also so as the Colonell and some of Mr. Francis friends would be engaged to pay the value of it which the Col. thereupon moved and offered to be engaged but Mr. Francis friends refused and so there was nothing more done in it 3. Whereas hee saith That Col. Gold owed Mr. Kelland 1000 l. by bond and that Mr. Kelland was often offered at Dartmouth and Plimouth that if hee would deliver up the bond they should be all freed It will be proved by Arthur Vpton Esquire and Mr. Richard Nicholl who are here and divers others that Mr. Kelland himselfe offered to deliver up that bond if they might have been freed but it was refused neither was the 1000 l. the Colonels debt but borrowed for the Parliament for which he and others were bound and Mr. Francis had 800 l. of the same money as appears by his own Account and therefore it is a most wilfull false slander Secondly Mr. Francis falsly accuseth Thomas Gewen Esquire As 1. That hee is indebted to the State for money which he received for Assesments and Sequestrations and refuseth to give an Account Whereas the truth is that about October 1643. Mr. Francis and some others whom hee procured to joyne with him required Mr. Gewen to give them an Account at which time he desired to see by what Authority they required it but they would not show nor indeed had any yet Mr. Gewen to take off all exceptions and jealousie delivered them an Account of all his receipts and disbursements which was examined and allowed by Col. Gold Mr. Beare and Mr. Champneys the Parliaments Commissioners whereby it appeared that there was 232 l. 19 s. 8 d. due to him and to manifest his desire to have his Account taken hee then writ up as some Parliament men know to procure an Ordinance for the taking of his owne Account first and after the rest of the Accomptants in Plimouth but before it could be had the Ordinance for taking all the Accounts of the Kingdome was made so that its plaine that hee was desirous to have his Account taken and he is ready to give it to those who have now Authority there to take it but Mr. Francis stays purposely here as is conceived because he would not give his own Account knowing that it will be proved false by many in Plimouth 2. He chargeth Mr. Gewen to have held intelligence with Peter St Hill Esquire Which was thus whilest the Siege was before Exeter Mr. St Hill writ to Mr. Gewen about the exchange of Prisoners and withall desired there might be peace profering to doe his best therein perswading Mr. Gewen to the like which hee shewed to all the Gentlemen of quality hee met with and by the same Messenger returned an answer to convince Mr. St Hill of his error and to justifie the Parliaments Cause in an excellent manner as will be proved the Letter being seen Thirdly The like charge Mr. Francis hath against Mr. Nicholas Row but he was acquitted thereof by the Councell of Warre in Plimouth Thus Mr. Francis falsly accuseth the best-affected to the Parliament but when himself was told by his friend Mr. Wills a godly Minister in Plimouth that it was reported that hee privately received a Letter from the King and was advised by Mr. Wills to question the party in Plimouth who was said to have brought it to him hee looked as pale as his band and would not question it lest it should be proved Fourthly He falsly accuseth Rich. Verman That Major Herbert gave him 3l. when hee paid him the 734 l. Which the Major being now spoken with will not depose Fifthly Whereas Mr. Francis saith That Mr. Keckwich bought Rice of Captain Battin with the Parliaments money at 24 s. per Cent. upon engagement to sell it at Plimouth at the same rate yet hee sold it for 30 s. 34 s. and 36 s. per Cent And having received Dollers at 4 s. a peece he paid them to the Souldiers in Plimouth at 4 s. 4 d. a peece To manifest Mr. Francis his falsity therein I have these Certificates which follow viz. VVHereas we have seen a printed Paper published
