Calvert
Papers.

had discourst about the matters in Controuersie on Delaware ;
Why therefore should it appeare soe [Slight abrupt &^ca] that
a memoriall was not sent; It seeming an Vn necessary thing
to trouble M^r Penn with, euery time the L: B: thinks it need-
full to make his demands to that, which M^r Penn in his letters
calls the L: B right. And perhapps the L. B. not being in his
owne thoughts, soe great a Seignior, and Ruler as M^r Penn
knowes himselfe to be, Might be one Reason the Memoriall
was omitted, His Lo^pp prideing more, that he is the son, and
grand son of persons euer Loyall to theire Prince, (a truth all
his neighbors cannot walk up to) Then that he is a Seignior in
this part of the world: The Stile of a loyall and Dutifull sub-
iect being more Gratefull, and pleasing to him, then that of a
Prince.

2^dly Prop^a Penn informs us that [William Penn Esq^r and
the said Penn (the Language of the Cofnission) as he saith) Is
not his American Stile nor that which belongs to him in the
matter in question: for as' such (he saith) he keeps noe
Deputy]. The L: B is here check't a second time, for not
giveing William Penn Esq^r his other Titles: The first (as I
was told) was at new Castle in may last, where the L: B: was
Call'd to an account for the Superscription of a Letter of his
to M^r Penn, being onely Superscribed; ffor William Penn Esq^r
at Philadelphia; as if (said M^r Penn) I were noe where but at
Philadelphia; adding that as he was Penn of Penn, in some
part of England, the Adjunct Esq^r was his due there; To this
his L^opp answerd, That the Omission of his other Titles was
not designedly don by him, nor was there any Respect at that
time wanting in his L^opp towards him; That the letter was
Superscribed in hast, and therefore was in hopes of his Pardon
for the omission, which should be soe noe more; And for that
time Prop^r Penn seemed Satisfied. But now for the language
of that Cofnission, that has giuen (it seemes) the like offence
againe, there is this to be said, that [William Penn Esq^r is
some part of his American Stile,] and which belongs to him,
though not all due in the matter in question; Therefore if it
had bin incerted in the Cofnission to CollTalbot Esq^r William
Penn of Pensiluania, instead of William Penn Esq^r it had bin
more generall, and soe better knowne; for (as I remember)

that was the Language in the Comission, Markham, Harrison,

and Clarke, came with to the L: B: the 16^th of July last.
3^dly M^r Penn assures all persons, that he Hues not on the
west side of Skullkill, nor any Deputy of his; That Coll
Talbot could not by his Cofnission goe to the East side to
make his demand, which yet he did. Now thanks to M^r Penn
for his sending a Coppy of Coll Talbots Comission, it is there
found, that Coil Talbot was order'd to repaire forthwith to the
