Item he tould Mr. Philip Goslinge that I sett my hand to an obligacion as a wittnes which was neuer sealed and delivered. Indeede I subscribed an obligacion which I made for Steven Plombe which was not sealed by Powle.

Memorandum that on Wedensday the xiijth of January 1601 Powle came to my howse with his Cosyn Payne and shewed me a lettre written (as he affirmeth) by my brother to my cosyn Josua Winthrop wherin are these woordes for I and Powle are agreed, subscribed your loving Vncle John Winthropp with a romaine W quod nota, 1599.

The same day after he had shewed me the lettre I asked him if he did not deliuer the same to my cosen Josue and he answered me no and saide that he durst not see him for that he feared that he woulde haue arrested him notwithstanding the lettre.

Memorandum that Mr. Powle toulde me before that tyme that he delivered the same lettre to my cosen Josua and that he looked to him againe for his discharge quod falsum est.

Also he tould me at an other tyme that he gott my brother to wright ij lettres to my cosen Josua. 46
