[several lines lost]

Right Honnorable Go[ vernor and Counsell. ] Ffor as much as I have written [ a writeing ] whereat you take offence my hum[ ble desire ] is that your Honnors woulde bee fa[ vorable ] and gracious unto mee, for it was not written

in disobedience unto any of your lawes, therefore my humble request is for your mercy, not

your Judgement, and that you woulde bee pleased to consider my poore estate and Condition and release mee from my bonds and Imprisonment, and I shall endeavor hereafter to walke inoffensively unto your Lordeshipps and shall ever remaine your humble servant to Command.

Edward Hart

Jannuary 23rd 1658.[i]
