I haue lately written vnto you two letters concerning the evell practices of Mr. Cleiues and Mr. Tucker, tending to the ruine of this Province. Now hearing that Tucker is gon to your worship with false certificates, at leastwise fraudelently gotten, many haueing sett there handes to they know not what, and besides a greate part of them ar bound over to our Courts for notorious offences, and therefore ar easily perswaded to set there handes to any thing that may be preiudiciall to a peaceable goverment. They reporte that you will ayde them, and Tucker is now gon for that purpose, with a letter of consociation, in which Cleiues hath cunningly made all those that haue subscribed to acknowledge Mr. Rigby to be there governour, and yet, in a letter to Cleeues and my selfe from that ignorant route, they will obey neither Sir Ferdinando Gorges, nor Mr. Rigby his authority till there be a tryall for it. this letter is likewise sent to your worship with twenty handes to it. You may be pleased to enquire of this bearer Thomas Rogers, what manner of people they ar.

There pretence for ayde is to defend them against the French, but there 441is no such cause but only to maynetayne there seditious and mutinous practices against Sir Ferdinando Gorges goverment. I shall therefore humbly intreate your worship to consider of my two former letters with this, and to send me your answear by this bearer and likewise to stop the currant of Cleeues his illegall proceeding and not to ayde them, till there bee iust cause. haueing formerly writen at large of this turbulent people vnto you, I cease farder to trouble at present, resting your assured freind and Servant
