Gabriel Lapp, Esq., subscribes £25 upon the Propositions. He hath formerly 
paid to Sir Edward Hungerford and his officers £32. 
John Weeks, of Salisbury, gent., £20 upon the Propositions. His brother 
hath, for his estate which he now holdeth, formerly paid before his death £60, as 
‘appeareth by several tickets from Sir William Waller, Sir Edward Hungerford, 
Colonel Ludlow, and Major Dowett. And £15 more was paid to Colonel 
Ludlow without ticket, as appeareth by testimony. All which sums are to be 
allowed towards his five and twentieth part. Received the said £20 by Captain 
Ward and carried away. 
2nd June. William Jay, minister, of Fiddleton, hath subscribed upon the 
Propositions £30, ten to be sent in to-morrow, the rest in a fortnight. [A sub- 
sequent entry in December records his second appearance, to compound for his 
personal estate at £30 and also for his temporal means for this year until next 
Michaelmas ; for which, by reason of his great debts, we accept £20.] 
3rd June. Thomas Aylesbury, minister, of Kingston Deverill, subscribes upon 
the Propositions £20, to be paid presently; and engages to go home and live 
there quietly without prejudice to the Parliament, and to appear before us 
whenever we shall send for him to make his further composition, : [Mr. Aylesbury 
must have been a prominent partisan in the Royal cause, for he is elsewhere 
styled ‘a great delinquent.’’] 
Mr. Stourton Sadleir, of Little Langford, gent., being taken riding with pistols, 
and confessing that he had been in the King’s quarters, was detained here in 
arms; but afterwards it appearing that he was not a listed soldier but rode in 
arms for his own defence, and he engaging himself by promise never to take up 
arms against the Parliament, we compounded with him and took five pounds for 
his enlargement, to the use of the State. 
10th June. John Whetcombe, Richard Oldis, and George Conington, all of 
Sherbourn, in Dorset, being taken in arms and saying they were for the King, 
were first pillaged by our men and brought as prisoners in arms against the 
Parliament. But afterwards it appearing unto us that they were tradesmen and 
no listed soldiers, we compounded with them for £20 to be paid to-morrow, 
whereunto they have set their hands, William Cooper, of Sarum, engaging 
himself for the payment thereof.—Received the same ; whereof was paid to the 
Marshal for his fees, thirty shillings. 
18th June. John Duke, of Lake House, Esq., having been detained and 
secured at Falstone for delinquency, hath subscribed upon the Propositions £50— 
twenty to be paid in hand, the rest by the last day of June; and he is to give 
bond for and then to have his enlargement and protection. [Six months later 
Mr. Duke has to pay a much larger sum, namely, £150 in money, besides a 
hundred sheep, valued at £50, for the use of the garrison—his kinsman, Mr, 
George Duke, standing for security. John Duke at the same time takes the 
Covenant. It was charged against him that in 1643 he had ridden with the 
Sheriff, Sir George Vaughan, to raise the posse comitatus to attack the town of 
arlborough. ]
