348 The Falstone Day-Book. 
He also greatly furthered the proceedings of the Royalists while they were at 
Salisbury. For these offences he compounded at Falstone by the payment of 
[a blank]. But the Committee did not at that time know that he had any land 
or living ; and as he subsequently became a leader forth of the people in the 
Club-business, they thought fit he should be again sequestered. (Subsequent 
entry.) Seized of Thomas Hancock one pound for the winter-lease of a ground 
which he rented of Dr. Nicholas at the hospital at Harnham. 
John Bowles, of Burcombe, Esq., subscribes upon the Propositions £30 in plate 
or money to be paid by the feast of John Baptist next, the plate at five shillings 
the ounce; and more in wheat for the use of the garrison here, twenty quarters, 
to be brought in weekly between this and a fortnight after Midsummer. I say, 
subscribed by me, John Bowles. [His offence was, holding correspondence with 
the King, and refusing to take the Covenant. A subsequent entry in 1646 
describes him as quietly living at home, paying a final quietus of £40, and 
consenting to take the Negative Oath. There was another member of this 
family in the Royal army, Lieut.-Col. Richard Bowles. See 27th Nov., 1645.] 
29th May. William Kent, of Boscombe, Esq., having been formerly taken 
prisoner by Colonel Ludlow, and paid to him for his delinquency and for his 
enlargement a horse worth £25 and £75 in money, hath now subscribed upon 
the Propositions £60, to be paid within a month. 
John Johnson, of the Close, gent., hath promised to pay to Mr. Gauntlet £30, 
which money is to be returned to Southampton with £20 more of the said 
Gauntlet’s, there to be deposited in the hands of Mr. Thomas Mason or Mr. 
Carter for the use of the State. The £30 was the money of Mr. Spencer, a 
delinquent at Oxford, and being in Mr. Johnson’s hands was seized by us and 
sequestered. (Subsequent entries.) This £30 is to be returned by Saturday, 
7th June. 
Which was done accordingly. [But] 
Captain [William] Ludlow intercepting the latter, was, by promise, to have 
£165 [of it], it being, as he conceived, all prize to the soldier. 
Subscribed by the said Mr. Johnson £10 on the Propositions, received in part 
for his delinquency. 2nd June. 
29th May. James White, minister of Boscombe, subscribes upon the propo- 
sitions five pounds in a horse which Captain Ludlow took, and £12 more in 
money. His offence was repeated refusal to sign the Covenant or follow the 
Directory. He declared he would rather give up his living than the use of the 
Common Prayer. 
30th May. Christopher Riley, minister of Newton, £10 upon the Propositions, 
to be paid 10th June. 
2nd June. John Green, goldsmith, five pounds in money or plate at 4s. 8d. 
the ounce. Received the same in plate. 
Mr. George Stanhope hath taken the Covenant and signed his name.
