Preston was seized in tail of the manor of Weston in co. Warwick, and several other lands in cos. Warwick and Northampton, to the value of 3,500l. per an. Said Sir Thomas having no issue and being a Roman Catholic several overtures were made to petitioner that if he would change his religion and become a Catholic the said ancient estate and the greatest part of the rest of the estate should come to him according to the said ancient settlements. The petitioner refusing this the said Sir Thomas about seven years since, with the object of depriving petitioner of the benefit of said settlements, did by several fines and recoveries bar and destroy all the said ancient settlements in tail and made new settlements thereof (some provision for daughters only excepted) to superstitious uses and shortly after withdrew beyond seas, entered Popish orders and is now become a _ in foreign parts.

As the matter is now referred to the Treasury Lords, he prays that he may not sink for his adherence to the Church of England. |
