Mr. John Fiennes Son of the Lord Say and Brother to Commissioner Fiennes brought in it 's likely for one upon his score is in a kind such a one as they call a Sectary but no great stickler therefore not being redeemed from the fear and favour of man will it is probable follow his brother who is as it is thought much steer'd by old Subtilty his Father that lies in his Den as Thurloe by his Mr. St. Johns and will say No with the rest when any thing opposes the interest of the new Court their power and greatness and may therefore pass for one to be a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce

in the Other House over all in Oxfordshire the University men onely excepted and over all the people of these Lands besides 40. Sir John Hubbard Knight Baronet of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Norfolk of a considerable Estate part whereof came lately to him by the Death of a Kinsman he was of these latter Parliaments but not of the former had medled very little if at all in throwing down Kingship but hath stickled very much in helping to re-establish and build it up again and a great stickler among the late Kinglings who petitioned the Protector to be King his principles being so right for Kingship and Tyranny he is in great favour at Court as well as Dick Ingoldsby and no question deserves to be a Lord and to be taken out of the House to exercise a Negative Voyce in the Other House over all the good men in Norfolk and all the people of these Lands besides being become so very tame and gentle 41.

Lord Ewre a Gentleman of Yorkshire not very bulky or imperious for a Lord he was once well esteemed of for honesty and therefore chosen to be one of the Little Parliament hath also been of all the Parliaments since the Yorkshire men happily may like his being new Lorded and that he should have a Negative Voyce over them the rather because they never chose him to any such thing the Protector being so well satisfied with his principles and easiness like his fellow-Lord Honywood to be wrought up to do whatever their will and pleasure is and to say No when they would have him it is very meet he also pass for one to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House not onely over Yorkshire but all the good people of the Commonwealth beside being a Lord of the old Stamp already 43.

Judicature was questioned being dissolved and the Protector taking the Government upon him he adventured to comply with the rest notwithstanding the danger that so he might keep his place and interest and avoid a new Storm or Frown from the present Power Men need not seek far or study much to read him and what principles he acts by All things considered he may doubtless be very fit to be Lord of the Rolls being Master already and to be taken out of the Parliament to be made a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people as well as over the causes in the Rolls being so thoroughly exercised in Negatives at his own will and pleasure as too many have sadly felt 19. Mr. Cleypole Son of Mr. Cleypole in Northamptonshire now Lord Cleypole he long since married the Protectors Daughter a person whose qualifications not answering those honest principles formerly so pretended to of putting none but godly men into places of trust was a long time kept out but since the Apostacy from those principles as also the practise brake in and his Father-in-law the head thereof came to be Protector he was then judged good enough for that dispensation and so taken in to be t Master of his Horse as Duke Hamilton to the King Much need not be said of him his Relation as son-in-Son-in-law to the Protector is sufficient to bespeak him every way fit to be taken out of the House and made a Lord and having so long time had a Negative Voyce over his Wife Spring Garden the Ducks Deer Horses and Asses in Jameses Park is the better skilled how to exercise it again in the Other House over the good people of these Nations without any gainsaying or dispute 20. Lord Faulconbridge a Gentleman whose Relations are most Cavaleeres his Uncle formerly Governour of Newark for the King against the Parliament was absent over the water in the time of the late Wars a Neuter at least if not disaffected to the cause came back the Wars being over and hath lately marryed one of the Protectors Daughters and was in a fair way had things hit right to have been one of his Council as well as his Son-in-law however suitable to the times he is lately made a Colonel of Horse his Relation both to the old and new Monarchy may sufficiently plead his worth and merits not onely to have his Daughter but also a Negative Voyce in the other House over all that adventured their lives in the cause formerly and over all the people of these Lands besides 21.

House to be a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over all of the gentle Craft and Cordwayners Company in London if they please but though he be so considerable and of such Merit in the Protectors as also in his own esteem not onely to be a Knight but also a Lord yet it will hardly pass for currant with the good people of these Lands it being so far beyond the last neither will they think him fit saving the Protectors pleasure to have a Negative Voyce over them though he formerly fought so stiffly against it in the King and Lords in order to set them free 25.
