2 That he will for such as are of the same opinion. 



3 That he will endeavour to live well with all men of what religion soever. 



S' Gilbert Talbott, 



1 If I am chosen a Member of Parliament when his Maj^ shall call one, I will 



as I have ever done in former Parliaments, be entirely govern 'd and dirrected 

 by his Maj"" in my votes. 



2 I shall give my best assistance to have such Members elected, as shall be for 



abolishing the penall laws and Tests. 



3 I will support the Kings Declaration for liberty of conscience (as a most 



gratious concession to his subjects), by living friendly with men af aU per- 

 swasions, as loving subjects and good Christians ought to do. 



D L' Coll. Chivers, deputy lieutenant, 



With great intreatys and perswasions I prevailed with Mr. Chivers to be for the 

 taking of the penal laws and tests, and will rely solely upon his Maj'^ ; his 

 chiefest scruple was that he should be hang'd hereafter for what he does at 

 present, and desired great security. 



S"' Charles Eawleigh, 



1 Does not dissaprove of a liberty of conscience, and when he comes into the 



house, wlU endeavour to serve his Maj'^" honestly, faithfully, and loyally, but 

 will not declare before hand what he will do. 



2 He will neither meddle one way or other. 



3 He say'd he would live peaceably with aJl men. 



D L* S' Henry Coker, deput : lieutenant and justice of peace, 



1 If it be his Maj*'" pleasure to have the penall-statutes and the Tests taken 



of, and that it be for the safety of his Maj"" person, I shall shew my 

 obedience to his commands. 



2 The answer above I suppose is also to this. 



3 I have with aU obedience done it, and shall be ready to obey my Kings so 



just commands. 



M'. Fitzherbert, justice of peace, 



1 Declares he is for taking of the Penal laws and Tests. 



2 He will contribute to the election of such as shall. 



3 He will support y^ Kings Declaration for living friendly and peaceably with 



persons of all perswasions. 



M' Scroope, justice of peace, a catholique 



1 He is very ready to take of aU penall laws and tests. 



2 He will readily assist those that shall. 



3 He shall do it. 



M'. Davenant, 



1 Say'd he intended to stand for Calne, and would not declare his opinion till 



be came into the house of Commons. 



2 He would not contribute to the electing of any y* should be for y* taking of 



y* penall laws and tests. 



3 He always did and always will do.
