May 5. I appeared, with the rest of my Brethren, before the Committee: where we confessed our Subscription, and owned the Papers for the substance of them. On May 10, 13, 21, 22, 23, 24, we appeared again, and were not at all questioned of any thing in the Book, but some few Interrogatories were made, Whether we owned the present State-Government, and would submit to it? we had many precious Prayers put up to God for us in the City, many Prayers and private Fasts for us in the Country, many sweet encouraging Letters both from Ministers and people in our own parts, and many unexpected friends and acquaintance stirred up by God wheresoever we came; the Lord encouraged and enabled us from time to time, so that the last day Mr. M. (Chairman of the Committee, in whose eyes we found favour) wished publicly there, I would the business of the Lancashire Ministers were well rid out of our hands. All glory and praise be to our good God.
