| And whereas Francis Higgins Clerk Rector of Ballruddory, in the said County being formerly admitted into the Commission of the Peace of the said County, did behave himself in a manner so Turbulent and unbecoming of the Sacred Function of a Clergyman, that upon the Application of the Gentlemen of the Benchof Justices of the Peace, he was to their General Satisfaction, turned out of the said Commission by Sir Richard Cox whilst he was Lord Chancellor ; whereby the former Unanimity and good Understanding between the said Gentlemen was restored. | ||||||||||||||||||

| And whereas the said Francis Higgins since his last return from London, hath by many repeated Insolencies Abus'd, Traduc'd and ill Treated several of the said Justices of the Peace, and other Persons of known Loyalty and Affection to Majesty's Government. | ||||||||||||||||||
