[5] MS. in =D.= This piece is endorsed: “Oliver Huttons Certificate
Concerning G: ff:”; and is among other similar certificates which were
read at the Second Day’s Meeting, 16 xii. 1686/7. “Oliver Hutton’s
hystry” does not appear to have survived. See Braithwaite, _Beginnings of
Quakerism_, 1912, pp. 43, 44.
[6] MS. in =D.= entitled: “A Testimony Concerning our Dear ffriend and
Sister in yᵉ Lord Elizabeth Hutton,” dated 1690, but not in Fox’s writing.

[8] MS. in =D.= endorsed by Fox: “a short jornall of gff never wer

[11] The home of Thomas Aldam (c. 1616-1660) was Warmsworth, near
Doncaster. His detention in York Castle followed a _contretemps_ with the
clergyman of this village, Thomas Rookby; he was two and a half years in
the Castle. _Short Testimony_ by his son, Thomas, 1690; _Piety Promoted_;
_D.N.B._; Camb. _Jnl._

[13] Mary Fisher (c. 1623-1698), afterwards Bayly and Cross, became a
prominent preacher and traveller. She visited Cambridge and preached to
the students, travelled in the West Indies and Eastern Europe, and died
in Charlestown, South Carolina. Camb. _Jnl._; _Quaker Women_, 1915.
[14] =D.= (Swarth. MSS. iii. 36)
[15] According to a MS. in =D.= (Swarth. MSS. iii. 91), William Peares
died in York Castle. Fox endorses this scrap of paper: “W peres died
in presen at York abought 1654.” In the MS. we read: “The cause of his
Jmprisonment was, because he was moued to stripe himselfe naked. A ffigure
off all the nakedness of the world.... Jt was the naked that suffered for
the naked truth.”
In _A Declaration of present Sufferings_, printed 1659, recounting six
years of persecution, we have a confirmation of G. F.’s statement: under
Yorkshire, “William Peers imprisoned till death for Tithes.” (p. 20.)
