The visitor of Oxford recommended him to the Universities' Regulation Committee as principal of Jesus, and he was sent for, but did not accept till Anglesea was reduced, and all the kingdom under power of Parliament.

DEP. 130 27
–32		 June ? Petitions to be punished extremely if he have deserved it, but if not, to have reparation by the informer, to whom he is governor, both in point of costs and credit. His affection to Parliament is proved by his praying for them, both in the Welsh and English languages, his refusing to join the contribution of the South Wales clergy, and his loss of all he had, even his books and papers, by the Commissioners of Array. Lived quietly 6 years in his mother's house at Anglesea, till sent for to Oxford, where one of the junior fellows procured these articles against him. By the nocking of causes to the committee, is like the impotent man at the pool of Bethesda; another steps before, when he wants a hearing, and he has spent what he had in attendance. 130 25

20 July. Petitions for dismissal with costs, and reparation of his credit, or for leave to examine Major-General Mytton and the other witnesses. Has long been absent from his college, and being a new foundation, it has been reduced to dissolve and break up housekeeping, to its great prejudice. The inventors of the articles against him, after 5 months' labour, have failed to prove any one of them, and the prosecutors decline to examine Major-Gen. Mytton, and their most creditable witnesses, who knew petitioner in North Wales. 130 34

Information by [Katherine] Cooper, widow, Wm.

That Paradine made a will and appointed his wife Mary his executrix; that she made a will, leaving the debt to Parliament, to be distributed amongst maimed soldiers and the widows of soldiers, when the Protestant religion shall be settled in England. 21 216

13 Oct. The discoverers petition that Mrs. Paradine's executors never would have demanded the debt, because her husband had served the Earl, and it could not have been obtained without a suit at law, but they discovered it at great expense, almost to their ruin, and got a Parliament Order for the benefit of it, and the residue to go to their arrears. Part of it being already brought in, and the rest to be soon paid, they beg the money may be distributed among them, and not otherwise disposed of. 131 91
31 Oct. Whereas, in 11 James, Mary Paradine left to Parliament for maimed soldiers the statute in 3,000l. of Francis, Earl of Cumberland, and Henry, Lord Clifford, his son and heir; and whereas, on a petition and case exhibited to Parliament by divers such widows, for the benefit of the grant, the House of Commons on 16 June ordered the bringing in of the moneys, and the executors have been ordered to pay in the balance due of 500l., but they request return of the statute to protect them,—order that Sarah Iles and Martha Wright, Mrs. Paradine's daughters and executrixes, deliver up the said statute. 7 330
Oct. They plead that Mary Paradine, by a codicil to the will, left the interest of the money pending the payment for legacies and debts, and that therefore they would be much prejudiced by giving up the release as ordered. They beg to be excused, and not to be imprisoned for not releasing their own interest and property, but to have a receipt for the 1,500l. already paid, and to keep the security. 131 92
1 Nov. 1649. Hen. Iles and Martha Wright, for themselves and children, beg that they may retain the interest of the money which is the most of their subsistence, and was so intended by their mother, but by neglect of the procurator, the codicil was not annexed to the will.

Noted that the petitioners can have no profit as discoverers, but the House is to be moved to bestow something upon them. 131 95

I beg to represent to you, on behalf of a noble lady [the Countess of Cork], to whose family I owe much, that those who kept the accounts of the late Earl of Cumberland are dead, but he was basely used by Paradine, and others of his servants, who combined against him. The poor lady is in a great strait, and she cannot do much more than she has in the time limited by you; so she casts herself on your favour, that no course may be taken for levying what remains, beyond such a legal course as Paradine might have had, viz., to take it out of such of the Earl's lands as are liable thereto. 131 96
