hard
and
most
deplorable
Case
,
is
scarce
to
be
parrall'd
in
this
Nation
;
Who
before
the
late
Long
Parliament
was
Owner
of
a
great
Fortune
,
and
in
a
thriving
Condition
,
as
any
man
in
that
time
of
his
Quality
:
Who
only
for
being
a
Farmer
of
the
Customes
,
but
for
Two
Years
,
and
for
his
Loyalty
in
adhering
to
His
late
Majesty
,
of
ever
blessed
Memory
,
as
he
was
bound
by
Law
,
and
his
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
was
not
only
spoyled
and
plundered
of
all
he
had
,
even
the
very
Bed
his
Wife
lay
on
:
But
which
is
the
highest
of
Afflictions
,
He
is
now
a
Prisoner
for
above
200000.

which

comfortable
to

may
plead

merit
from

that
Trade
;
from

be
able
to
discharge
himself
from
the
Remain

will
render
him
not
only
,
after
the
long
misery
of
his
Family
,
to
be
a
comfort
to
them
,
but
give

under
the
marks
of

dishonour

a
Prisoner

and
not
pay

which

a
greater
affliction

the
greatest
wound

suffer
in
this
