that_o i_o desire_v which_o i_o also_o desire_v before_o mr._n keckwich_n his_o say_a return_n to_o plymouth_n when_o i_o acquaint_v the_o say_a committee_n therewith_o whilst_o he_o be_v in_o london_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o new_a pretence_n by_o i_o as_o mr._n francis_n suggest_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o mr._n keckwich_n do_v lay_v out_o the_o 200_o l._n for_o so_o it_o appear_v by_o a_o letter_n of_o colonel_n william_n gould_n to_o his_o uncle_n mr._n nicholas_n gould_n of_o london_n merchant_n wherein_o he_o write_v thus_o viz._n sir_n the_o great_a necessity_n for_o money_n for_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o garrison_n in_o the_o fort_n and_o island_n have_v induce_v i_o to_o take_v up_o two_o hundred_o pound_n of_o mr._n peter_n keckwich_n give_v he_o bill_n on_o you_o payable_a at_o 8._o day_n sight_n which_o bill_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o have_v occasion_n to_o make_v use_n of_o but_o if_o he_o have_v i_o shall_v desire_v you_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n of_o they_o he_o deposit_v some_o or_o all_o the_o pearl_n in_o your_o hand_n for_o your_o indemnity_n which_o money_n be_v not_o pay_v by_o mr._n gould_n the_o pearl_n be_v leave_v

man_n and_o he_o have_v do_v very_o much_o for_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o mr._n francis_n may_v have_v do_v better_a to_o accuse_v he_o when_o he_o be_v present_a to_o answer_v it_o as_o for_o mr._n francis_n suggestion_n that_o mr._n keckwich_n conceal_v the_o pearl_n 10._o week_n after_o he_o come_v to_o london_n he_o be_v absent_a be_v send_v to_o sir_n john_n meldrum_n in_o the_o

by_o any_o that_o may_v pretend_v claim_n to_o they_o and_o so_o retard_v the_o supply_n of_o plymouth_n which_o be_v in_o great_a want_n and_o so_o i_o divers_a time_n tell_v the_o committee_n for_o plymouth_n neither_o be_v it_o think_v fit_a to_o trouble_v they_o with_o it_o see_v all_o sequestrator_n in_o england_n by_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n have_v power_n to_o dispose_v of_o thing_n
