This Honourable House on the 15 of May last , recommended as their desires to his Highnesse the Lord Protector , that care might be taken for the speedy payment of the said debt , being 2591 l. 17 s. 6 d. principall , with the use thereof , which doth amount unto 4251 l. as by Auditors account given to his Highnesse Honourable Councell appears , and his Highnesse recommended the same to his Honourable Councell , that care be taken that the Parliaments desires might be satisfied , and on the 26 of May , their Honours did order one thousand pounds to be paid out of the Excise Office , which he received : But ever since that time , he hath waited at the door of the Honourable Councell , but had no other answer but they knew not where to place it : So for want of the said money his credit is much impaired , which is more dear then life to him , and his posterity like to be destroyed , if he finde not some speedy relief from this Honourable House ; for his Creditors prosecute him now with more violence , seeing their hopes frustrate , in not receiving that money which they hoped for : Wherefore he humbly desires your Honours favourable assistance that Mr. Fowel may be heard , who is to report to the Honourable House the conclusion of the Honourable Committee appointed for his businesse , and that he may receive some speedy rerelief , that he may not lose his liberty with his credit , and see his posterity ruined before his face , which will be as a double death , and so bring his gray hairs with sorrow to the grave ; but he is confident of the Honour and Justice of this Honourable House , that they will never suffer him and his posterity to perish , who hath done and suffered so much for their sakes .
