lieve that the Meffage Col. Church fent by the two French 

 Gentlemen from Menis to the Governour of Port Royal 

 took Effe6t, and was a means to bring Peace in our bor- 

 ders, &c.~\ Then Col. Church with his Forces embark'd 

 on board the Tranfports, and went to Cafco Bay, where 

 they met with Capt. Gallop in a Veffel from Bojlon, who 

 had brought Col Church further Orders; which was to 

 fend fome of his Forces up to Norrigiwock in purfuit of 

 the Enemy; but he being fenfible that the Enemy were 

 gone from thence, and that his Souldiers were much wore- 

 out & fategu'd in the hard Service they had already done, 

 & wanted to get home, call'd a Council, and agreed all to 

 go home, which accordingly they did. To Conclude this 

 Expedition, I will juft give a hint of fome treatment Col. 

 Church had before & after he came home: for all his great 

 Expences, Fategues & Hardfhips in and about this Expe- 

 dition, {viz) He received of his Excellency Fifteen Pounds 

 as an earneft Peny towards Raifing of Volunteers; and 

 when he came to receive his Debenture 342 for his Colonels 

 Pay, there was 2 s. 4 d. due to him; and as for his Cap- 

 tains Pay, 343 & Man Jack he has never received any thing 

 as yet. Alfo after he came home fome ill minded Perfons 

 did their endeavour to have taken away his Life, for that 

 there was fome of the French Enemy Kill'd this Expedi- 



342 Debenture, — a writing or certifi- 343 His commiffion was twofold (fee 

 cate figned by a public officer in evi- p. 136) appointing him Captain of the 

 dence of a debt due; fo called becaufe, firft company of his command, as well 

 in Latin, fuch documents ufed to begin as Colonel of all the forces embarked 

 Debe.ntur mihi, &c. upon the expedition.
