to the L̃re according to his Lops order, and humbly beseech his Lop
that the Shipp be expedited, the delay thereof being the vtter vndoing
of many poore Passengers that lye at the Isle of Wight, wch they sig-
nified by a Messenger purposely sent vp to entreat the Company to
procure the dispatch of ye Shipp, they hauing bestowed and Laid out
all that they are worth in prouiding for their voyage & nothinge Left
there to mayntayne them a shore. Vpon wch great and pressinge
occasion, diuers of ye Counsell and Company to the nomber of ffifty,
being assembled together in a generall Comittee of the whole Com-
pany, thought fitt to make ye Comittee a Cort for ye passing of this
busines onely. And they are also further desired in ye Companies
names, humbly to beseech his Lop not to giue any Creditt or hearing
to any Informac̃ons that shalbe giuen his Lop concerning any vnre-
spectiue or vndutifull passages in their Courtℯ against his Lps or ye ll͠s
of his Mats priuy Counsells proceedings or Actℯ; to wch wth all due
obedience they submitt themselues. And for ye perticuler Informa-
c̃on giuen his Lop against the Deputie, that he should be soe bold as
to putt it to question, whither the Companies would bring in all their
Tobacco since that tyme their LL͠ps had ordered that all should be
brought in; They are desired in the name of the whole Court to tes-
tify to his Lop that that was an vntrue Informac̃on, & that there hath
not beene any such question putt; nor any thing tending to that
purpose since their Lops order.
