A lettre to the Lord President and Councell established in
the North Vpon Informacion from divers Mynisters
of that Country as also vpon Complaint made both to his
Maiestie and to vs of his Councell by James Nelson Mynister
and Parson of Crofton in that County of Yorke: Wee
haue taken notice of a strainge and disgracefull vsage offered
to this poore Mynister whoe being before you his Maiesties
Councell at Yorke by occasion of a Suite depending there,
was questioned by Sir William Ellis in the heareing of
the whole Court for wearing the haire of his head some
what longer be hinde then ordinarie, and when the Minister
replied that it was by reason of a greate hurt not longe
before received in his heade from some that sett vppon him
on the high way to the hazard of his life, which appeares to be
true and to haue ben alledged by the Mynister for cause of
his so wearing it, and not that hee had any will to give
ill example by it or tooke any pleasure therein, but only
was forced a while to suffer it for his health sake, yet
Sir William Ellis not regarding either the Mynisters person
his calling or the reason hee alledged presently comaunded
an Officer of the Court to take the Mynister and carrie
him forth to a Barbors Shopp and to see his haire cutt
shorte, and then to bring him backe in to the Court againe,
which had it ben but for the parties health in such a tyme
might haue ben forborne but being don after such a
manner and at such a presence tended not only to the
exceeding reproach, and shame of the man being there made
a publike scorne and laughing stocke to all the Courte
but as it was acted vpon a Mynister was a kinde of dispite
and scandall to Religion. ffor this ill carriage Sir William
Ellis being by his Maiesties speciall command called before
this Boarde, though hee hath acknowledged the ffact, and
confessed the same to be vnadvisedly and inconsiderately
don. Yet for asmuch as the disgrace resteth not only vpon
the person of Nelson, but trencheth to the Scandall of the
Mynistrie, and so requireth a more publicke satisfaccion
Wee haue thought meete to addresse theis our lettres to your llordships &
to signifie vnto you, that ffirst wee thinke it fitt Sir
William Ellis doe give the Mynister Twenty poundes
for his charges in comeing hither to london, and doe also
hold it
