And altho they doe by their Petitions and their Agents give great assurances att Whitehall of their Loyalty Duty and affections to His Mats Person and Goverment, they doe at the same tyme here beat and abuse His Mats Justices of Peace and Marshalls to such a degree that they are afraid to execute their office and for that reason severall have flung up their Comis- sions. I have prevailed wth M' Robert Wadleigh who was lately be- fore yor Ldshps to accept of a Comission for the Peace, and also called him into the Council the number being under Seaven he having shewed himselfe since his returne from England well affected to His Maty Service therefore do presume to recomend him to yo' Ldshps favor. My Lords I have troubled yor Ldshps eares wth so many complaints of this kind that I shall forbear mentioning any other perticulars.
I esteeme it the greatest happiness that ever I had in my life that yor Ldshps have given me an oppertunity to remove from these unrea- sonable people, and the rather that yor Ldshps and the World may see itt is those things injoyed in His Mats Comission they cavil at, and not my Person, and time will show that no man shall be acceptable to them that putts His Maty Comands in Execution.

In Volume I., Miscellaneous Manuscripts of the New Hampshire Historical Society, pp. 3 and 4, is a copy certified by Edward Raw- son secretary, of the committee's report on the division of the Squamscott patent, May 14, 1656. It is essentially the same as printed in Vol. I., Provincial Papers, p. 221, except in the construc- tion of some of the sentences, and the orthography of some of the names. In the manuscript the name is Quamscott, in the print Swamscott. Where the name of the river is given as Pascataquack in the print, it is Piscataquack in the manuscript. Winicott in print, is Winicunnet, and Winnicahannatt is Winnichannatt. - ED.]
