"And in truth, concerning him who is dead (i.e. Hopkins), who likewise was an agent in the businesse, for my part, I never knew that he either unjustly favoured any, or received bribes, or use such extremity as was reported of him; onely at first, before he or I ever went, many Towns used extremity of themselves, which after was laid on us" (Ibid.).
