His Lordship taking Advantage of your Petitio∣ners condition and indeavouring not onely to justifie
his former proceedings, but also to convict your Pe∣titioner, and render him a delinquent without a de∣fence, did issue a Commission to Commissioners of his owne choice and nomination, who during your Petitioners imprisonment examined divers witnesses touching some misdemeanors falsely charged upon your Petitioner in his office of Vice-treasurer, which being returned, and the effects thereof transmitted in∣to this Kingdome, his Lordship by this and other un∣due practises brought your Petitioner into disgrace with his Majestie, and thereupon procured the said Offices of Vice-treasurer, Generall Receiver, and Treasurer of Warres to be conferred upon Sir Adam Loftus Knight, who had beene formerly one of your Petitioners accusers.
