p0nt, Mr. Solli citor St. J ohn, Mr. Recorder, and two of the Scotch commissioners, were nominated for the committee; before whom the govern01.1s propositi ons and the committee's answers had bene read, and wl :en t heir soli citor, Captaine Whi te, saw they were likely to be cast out as fri volous, he produc'd some articles, which they .had· formed against the governor, lieftenant collonell, and Mr. Pigott, but they proov'd as frivolous as the other, and the gentlemen ansll'er'd them soe clearel y that they appear'd to be forg'd out .of mallice and envy, only to cause delaycs, there being scarce aniething of moment in them, if they had bene t rue, whereas they were all false: and now after they had trod downe the fence of shame, and impudently began with articles; there was not the least ridi- ,culous impcrtincncy that pass'd at Nottii1gham, but they put it into a scrip of paper and presented it as an additional! article to the committee; to each of whom particularly Mr. Millington had written letters, and given them such false impre§sions of the governor, and so prepossess' d them against him, that was a stranger to them all, that they look'd upon him very coldly and slightly, when he made particular addresses to them: but he, that scorn'd to . be disconrag'd with any men's disregard, from whom he had more reason to have expected all caresses and thankefull acknowledgements of his unwearied fidellity and good services, resolv'd to persue his owne vindication through all their frownes and cold repulses : these be met with more fi·01n :Mr. William Pierrepont then from any of the rest, till Mr. Pierrepont percciv'd the in iust.ice of their prosecution, and then thet:e was no person in t he world that could dcmeane himselfe with more iustice, honor, and kindcl1esse then he did to the governor, whose iniuries became first apparent to him, when the lieftenant-co!loncll came and told his bro- ,ther what combinations had bene discover'd against him at.
