ANNUAL REGISTER, 1805. 



end of the treaty ; for, tboiigh 

 the mayor, with the chief magis- 

 trates and cittizens of the towne, 

 together with the clergy, were very 

 •well satisfied with the treaty, so 

 farre as they were concerned in it, 

 yet, after it had continued twelve or 

 fourteen hours, some few of them 

 (being of Mr. Koningsby company) 

 gathered together about Eyne-gate, 

 (I will not say by any man's insti- 

 gation, thoug'h 1 have been told so) 

 and endeavoured to hinder and dis- 

 turb it ; yet, soe unreasonably, and 

 soe contrary to the jiulgmcnt of the 

 Test of the city, that the governor 

 and mayor went to the gate, and 

 Teproveing them, made them desist 

 from soe doing. And now, for the 

 truth of this narrative, I appeal to 

 the testimonies of the lord Scuda- 

 more, sir William Crofts, sir Wal- 

 ter Pye, and colonel Herbert Price, 

 who were privy to every thing that 

 iras done or advised by me ; and 

 certainly, if I had advised any thing 

 to the prejudice of his majesties ser- 

 Tice, or of the city and country, 

 men of their qualitie, and known in- 

 tcgittie, and soe much interested in 

 the good of the place, would have 

 been soe farre from following my 

 advice that thoy would scone have 

 checked and comptrolKd me, well 

 knowing I was there upon theire 

 importunity, as an assistant only, 

 •without any authority to oblige 

 them to obey mc, as, before 1 was 

 persuaded to stay with them, I often 

 professed.
