[Footnote 300: These orders, signed by Sunderland, will be found in
Sewel's History. They bear date April 18, 1685. They are written in
a style singularly obscure and intricate: but I think that I have
exhibited the meaning correctly. I have not been able to find any proof
that any person, not a Roman Catholic or a Quaker, regained his freedom
under these orders. See Neal's History of the Puritans, vol. ii. chap.
ii.; Gerard Croese, lib. ii. Croese estimates the number of Quakers
liberated at fourteen hundred and sixty.]

as follows: "L'interet qu'ils auront a effacer cette tache par des

servir plus utilement que ne pourraient faire ceux qui ont toujours ete
les plus attaches a sa personne." May 15-25,1685.]
