    time no one person but my own family in the house with hie , a party of horse came to my house at Owthorp , in Not * tinghamshire , commanded by one Coronet Atkinson , who told me , I must immediately go with him to Newark . I demanded to see his warrant ; and

    after some dispute , he shewed me a scrip of paper , signed by Mr . Franeis JLeke , one of the Deputy Lieutenants , to this effect , as near as I can remember , for he' would not give me a copy of it . ' To Coronet Atkinson ,

    ** < You are hereby required to repair to the house of John Hut chin son , Esq . at Owthorp , with a party of horse , and him to seize and bring forthwith to Newark , and to search the said house for what arms you can find , and bring them away also /

    * ' Having shewed me this order , they searched the house , and found no arms but four birding-guns of my sons , which hung openly in the kitchen , and them at that time they left ^ but although the night was very foul and rainy , and I myself was not at that time well , and

    had not any acommodation for riding , neither of horses , saddles , or other necessaries , not having been on horseback for many months before ; and though I and my family urged these reasons to them , offering all civil entertainment , if they would but have staid till the next

    morning , when I might have gone with the less hazard of my life and health ; yet could I not prevail with them , but ne forced me to borrow horses and go out of my house at midnight ; and about four of the clock the next morning , they brought nje to the Talbot , at Newark , which is twelve miles distant from

    Mr Palmer came to Owthorp to give hint thanks , and preacht there one Lord ' s day . Whether this were taken notice of is not evident , but within a short time after , upon the Lord ' s day , the nth o £ October , 1663 , the Colon ell having that day finished the expounding of the

    epistle to the Romans to his household , and the servants bein g gone out of the par * lour from him , one of them came in and told him souldiers were come to the towne . He was not at all surpriz'd , but stay'd in the roome till they came in , who were conducted by Atkinson , one of those Newark men who had so

    violently before prosecuted him at the Parliament , and he told the Colonel ] he must goe along with them , after they had searcht the house ; for which the Colonell required their commission , which at the first they said they need not shew , but after they shew'd him an order from Mr . Francis Leke , one of

    the Deputy Lieutenants , forthwith to repay re to his house , to search for and bring away what armes they could find , and to sieze his person . All which they did , and found no armes in the house but four birding gunns , that hung open in the kitchen , which being the young gentlemen ' s , at that time they

    left . It was after sun sett when they came , and they were at least twohoWers searching every corner , and all about the house , and the Colonell was not at that time very well in health , and not having been for six months before on horseback , had neither horses nor saddles at that time in the house : the

    coachman was alsoe gone away , and the coach-horses turned out , and it was as bitter , a stormie , pitchie , dark , blacke , raynie night , as anie that ^ arne that year ; all which consider'd , thetxJollonell dewrtt that they would but stay for the Jnorning light , that he might accommodate himselfe , but they would not , but forctt
