with my Uncle was at Haberdashers hall not long since when he and I had the tug for 5 or 6 houres together hand to hand where he would have had you to have past sentence upon my Vncle upon 3 or 4 verball charges of his prosecuted with that heat by him as if it had laid upon his life which were all falshoods and lyes in themselves and for a taste of one for all give me leave to whet up your memories that when Sir Arthur came to tax my Uncle for cheating of the State of the profits of the land of Harraton as wel as of the coliery which was sequestred only for the Delinquency of the foresaid Thomas Wray as he aver'd being all of it his and he or you the Commissioners demanded my Vncles answer unto it which I gave to this purpose that we denyed every thing that Sir Arthur said there being nothing but falshoods and untruths in all his averments and put it upon him to prove what he said at which he being very mad that such a man of his rank and quality as he was one who had from the Parliament so great a trust upon him should be so affronted as he was by such a man as I was unto which I replyed to this purpose That setting aside his authority with which I would make no comparisons I judg my self as honest and as good a man as himself and come of as good parentage as he and if he or the greatest man in England durst go about in my hearing to make my Father and his generation a company of knaves and cheaters as he that day had done in things or for things for which my conscience told me they had don nothing but justly honestly I should not judg my self worthy to be accounted to com from the loyns of so honest just a man as my Father was if I should hear him so basely abused to his face as he had abused him and suffer it in silence for he hinted as if my Father and Vncle had defrauded or lost unto the State 12000. a year of sequestred lands and that my Father had made himself rich by medling with sequestred lands and therfore if he durst abuse my Father in things I knew to be false I durst tell him he spoke falsly in any place in England and therefore if he would not by me bee told of his falshoods let him speak truth But Sir Arthur at that time began to lift up his eyes and hands and call for vengeance from Heaven averring upon his soul his conscience honor calling the grear Lord God of heaven and earth to bear witness that he spoke nothing but Truth and that as ever he expected to appear with comfort before the Lord the land of Harraton which Esq Hedworth lays claim to was M Wrays and was sequestred for his delinquency and his only and alone and this I know saith he you have a Certificate of from your own sworn commissioners who are men of honor and conscience and therefore desired it might be read Of which Certificate and all others about that land I was totally ignorant of and had never seen not heard read before to my knowledg and M. Baily the Clerk being commanded to read it he read a Certificate the copy of which thus follows Gentlemen we formerly returned that we had sequestred the Lands at Harraton for the Recusancy of the Lady Dorothy Hedworth the relict of Sir John Hedworth deceased And we perceiving by several Orders sent unto us that John Hedworth Esq son of the said Sir John Hedworth and the said Lady is endevoring a pretended right thereunto to get off the Sequestration we have therefore sent the depositions inclosed with a copy of a deed which holds forth the Ladies interest and the originall deed being in the custody of Mr. Levet or Mr. George Gray who now live and recide at London we have sent what testimony was produced unto us by the said Lady Derothy Hedworth and desire that Mr. Levet and Mr. Gray aforesaid may be called before you and injoyned to produce the said Original deed whereof this inclosed is a Copy in case the State be prejudiced by taking off the sequestration of the said estate by destroying the Ladies title which determins not until her death We remain Durham April 18. 1651. Gentlemen your assured friends Francaes Wren Thomas Delavel Copia vera Exam. John Leech At the reading of which you may remember Sir Arthur was full of rage at the Cleark but I helpt to stop his mouth a little by appealing to you to be Judges whether there was either conscience honor faith or truth in Sir Arthur Haselrig or that there was any credit to be given to any thing he had said or sworn seeing he had so solemnly averred protested and imprecated and cal'd God to witness that the land was sequestred onely and alone for Mr. Wrays Delinquency and his own Record that he first produced to prove his assertion saith the quite contrary but although I then plyd him with hot cloaths and made him in the face as read as a Turkey-cock yet he was not totally dasht out of Countenance but to mend the matter called for another Certificate saying he was sure there was such a Certificate as he spake of which being before the Gleark it was read The Copie of which thus followeth Gentlemen According to your Order granted upon the motion of Mr. Higgins in the behalf of John Hedworth Esquire of Harraton and William Hollyman of Monkewarmonth dated July 12. 1650.
