Three or2 4 yeares since Mr. Cleiues being in England procured a writ out of the Starr chamber office, to command Mr. Edward Godfrey, Mr. John Winter, Mr. Purches, and my selfe, to apeare at the Counsell tabel, to answear some supposed wrongs Mr. Godfrey went over to answeare for himselfe Mr. Winter and my selfe, and out of the same Court brings a writt to command Cleiues to pay vnto him 20li for his Charges, which he refuses to doe. now Sir Ferdinando Gorges gaue me order to see Mr. Godfrey haue Right in this case. Cleiues sayes we haue nothing to doe, neither haue wee any power to levy money here vpon any writts that come out of England, for he will answeare it from whence it came. I shall humbly intreate your advise herein, what Course is to be taken that I may free my selfe from blame and the malice of Cleiues, who is a Fire brand of dissention and hath sett the whole Province together by the yeares. I make bould to trouble herin, as a case of greate difficultie, desireing your answeare by the first Convenience.
