1 " From 1662 many Briefs were granted for the Redemption of Captives 

 (taken by the Turkish Pirates) . . . The total amount raised on the 

 Brief of 1671 was £21,530 and in a second Brief granted in 1691 it is stated 

 that " 456 captives were redeemed by ye help of ye former briefe, 500 

 captives being still in slavery to be redeemed.' The amount raised on this 

 occasion was only about £8000. A third Brief was accordingly granted in 

 1701 for ' the Redemption of Captives in Machanes (Mequinez) and Fez and 

 Sale in Morocco.' This was taken up with far more spirit than in 1691 and 

 over £16,500 was collected, one touching item being the sum of 100 guineas 

 'a Free Guift made and collected by the Hebrew Nation towards ye 

 Redemption of ye English Captives at Macaness.' " Trans- of East Riding 

 Ant. Soc, vii., 96.
