Henry Nevill, [Footnote: He was her cousin, being the second son of
Sir Harry Nevill the younger, of Billingbere, in Essex, by Elizabeth,
daughter of Sir John Smythe, of Ostenhanger, sister to the first
Viscount Strangford.] one of the High Court of Justice, where he was
then sitting at Whitehall. I told him my husband had sent for me and
his son, to place him there, and that he desired his kindness to help
me to a pass: he went in to the then masters, and returned to me,
saying, 'that by a trick my husband had got his liberty, but for me
and his children, upon no conditions we should not stir.' I made no
reply, but thanked my cousin, Henry Nevill, and took my leave. I sat
me down in the next room, full sadly to consider what I should do,
desiring God to help me in so just a cause as I then was in. I began
and thought if I were denied a passage then, they would ever after be
more severe on all occasions, and it might be very ill for us both. I
was ready to go, if I had a pass, the next tide, and might be there
before they could suspect I was gone: these thoughts put this
invention in my head.

At Wallingford House, the Office was kept where they gave passes:
thither I went in as plain a way and speech as I could devise, leaving
my maid at the gate, who was much a finer gentlewoman than myself.
With as ill mien and tone as I could express, I told a fellow I found
in the Office that I desired a pass for Paris, to go to my husband.
'Woman, what is your husband, and your name?' 'Sir,' said I, with
many courtesies, 'he is a young merchant, and my name is Ann
Harrison.' 'Well,' said he, 'it will cost you a crown:'--said I, 'That
is a great sum for me, but pray put in a man, my maid, and three
children.' All which he immediately did, telling me a malignant would
give him five pounds for such a pass.
