Misdemeanours by Simon Woodrowe… For the abusing my cousin and her children and servants I have set it under my hand, and themselves can testify it… For the killing my cousin's cattle, the Goodman Tharrold and Andrew Hill can testify, he vow by God he would do it… For the putting his cattle into my cousin's meadows in the night her maid can justify it, who took them… For his fences lying all the year open both to the common and within a rod of her house, to her great detriment and annoyance, the Goodman Dy, the Goodman Wattling, Andrew Hill, Peter Dunthorne and my cousin's maid can testify. For the killing my cousin's fowls myself, my cousin's son, and her maid can testify… Lastly which is not nominated in my letter upon a difference betwixt the said Woodrowe and his wife, she called him rogue, and murthering rogue, and said thou drunken rogue, thou wilt now do as thou hast formerly done by me, kill that I am with, she being then with child, and crying out, he will kill us all. Whereupon Andrew Hill's wife was sent for to pacify him and my cousin Baxter and her maid with divers workmen being in my cousin's yard heard her, as they will depose, use these speeches, which if he had been an honest and well disposed man, she would not have done.
