The king summoned him to visit England within 6 mos., March 5, 1682-3, where he had both the Gove insur. rection and his own difficulties with Walter Barefoot to give him cox- cern. Robert2 reached this country early in May, 1684, on his return from Eng. Gov. Cranfield was much afraid of the influence of Mr. Wadleigh over the people of N. H. after his return, and was still more fearful of the effect of the news of Gove's pardon. [See Bell's Exeter, pp. 351-2, and N. H. Provin- cial Papers, vol. 1, p. 459.]
