To his Excy Francis Nicholson Esqr Capt Genll and Govr of
Maryland

Sr Although We cannot approve but dislike former Ad-
dresses for the Ease and releafe of Philip Clark yet we are
moved to become Intercessors for him not approving his
Actions but pittying his folly and misfortunes and not so much
for his owne as for the sake of his Wife and innocent Children
who bear a part of his (Justly deserued) sufferings.
May it therefore please your Excellency to Except of this
our humble Address on his behalfe and Extend his Matys
Mercy to him in releasing him from his p'sent Imprisonment
takeing bond of him for his good behaviour and Abearance in
such measure as you shall think Convenient for the pre-
servation of his Matys peace &
We believe your Excy in your own nature inclined to mercy
and averse to Rigour any further then the Honor of the King
and peace of the province requires which we hope is and will
be secured and that we may obtaine your favourable Accept-
ance of this we humbly subscribe
Your Excys very humble servants
