2 That he will for such as are of the same opinion. 



3 That he will endeavour to live well with all men of what religion soever. 



S r Gilbert Talbott, 



1 If I am chosen a Member of Parliament when his Maj y shall call one, I will 



as I have ever done in former Parliaments, be entirely govern'd and dirrected 

 by his Maj ty in my votes. 



2 I shall give my best assistance to have such Members elected, as shall be for 



abolishing the penall laws and Tests. 



3 I will support the Kings Declaration for liberty of conscience (as a most 



gratious concession to his subjects), by living friendly with men af all per- 

 swasions, as loving subjects and good Christians ought to do. 



D 1/ Coll. drivers, deputy lieutenant, 



With great intreatys and perswasions I prevailed with Mr. Chi vers to be for the 

 taking of the penal laws and tests, and will rely solely upon his Maj ty ; his 

 chiefest scruple was that he should be hang'd hereafter for what he does at 

 present, and desired great security. 



S r Charles Rawleigh, 



1 Does not dissaprove of a liberty of conscience, and when he comes into the 



house, will endeavour to serve his Maj ty honestly, faithfully, and loyally, but 

 will not declare before hand what he will do. 



2 He will neither meddle one way or other. 



3 He say'd he would live peaceably with all men. 



D L* S r Henry Coker, deput : lieutenant and justice of peace, 



1 If it be his Maj ties pleasure to have the penall- statutes and the Tests taken 



of, and that it be for the safety of his Maj ties person, I shall shew my 

 obedience to his commands. 



2 The answer above I suppose is also to this. 



3 I have with all obedience done it, and shall be ready to obey my Kings so 



just commands. 



M r . Fitzherbert, justice of peace, 



1 Declares he is for taking of the Penal laws and Tests. 



2 He will contribute to the election of such as shall. 



3 He will support y e Kings Declaration for living friendly and peaceably with 



persons of all perswasions. 



M r Scroope, justice of peace, a catholique 



1 He is very ready to take of all penall laws and tests. 



2 He will readily assist those that shall. 



3 He shall do it. 



M r . Davenant, 



1 Say'd he intended to stand for Calne, and would not declare his opinion till 



be came into the house of Commons. 



2 He would not contribute to the electing of any y* should be for y e taking of 



y e penall laws and tests.
