estate was secured on a charge of delinquency, against which

Oblivion. Applied for his discharge, but could not obtain it,
the county commissioners having returned his estate as seized,
though it was only secured. Has never been adjudged a delinquent, and cannot obtain a copy of his charge. With note of
order that he cannot be discharged, as the estate was sequestered before Jan. 1650. |

on the whole matter as to his sequestration. Noted as granted. |

and 5 perishing children. Has been unjustly deprived of his
estate since August 1649, without summons or hearing, contrary

means in vain, flies to his Highness, whose more than ordinary
favour he has already tasted. With reference to the Haberdashers' Hall Committee, to discharge the sequestration if they
see cause; and by them, 7 July, to Reading. |

|
14 Aug. Jas. Pearse, Commissioner for co. Devon, to the Committee for Advance of Money. Kaye has abused the Protector
and you, for there were articles of delinquency against him
sent up in June 1653, as enclosed, accusing him of disobeying
and speaking against Parliament, haunting alehouses, not
preaching in his parish, and reading books of prayers dangerous
to the State. With note of order to let Pearse know that none
were ever sequestered for words, but deeds; but that if Kaye
fails in his duty as a minister, he should be reported to the
Commissioners for Plundered Ministers, and therefor the sequestration must be discharged. |

|
18 Aug. M. Dallison to Jas. Pearse. The commissioners are
sensible of your care in Kaye's business, but as all the articles
against him are for words spoken, and his failing as a minister,
and as there is no witness to the last article, they were
obliged to discharge him on the Order of Protector and Council. |
