33. Three or Four more Informers setting up the Trade accused me to Sir Tho Davis Lord Mayor: I could not make him believe that he was Judge of my faults, but that the Informers were the Judges, and that he must execute what they sware against me: Nor could I prevail with him to let me see any one of them, nor hear their Accusations, nor examine or confute them: And when I was fined unheard, shortly after the chief of the Informers met me in the Street, confessed his Fault, asked me Forgiveness, and left his Trade.
