But the parishioners of Wenvoe consulted amongst themselves neither to meddle nor make agreement with them nor him, but let them commit him to Jail, rather take his wife and children on the parish than assist he in his wickedness. And the wise, rather foolish men of St.Andrews saw good to take security from his father for the child and be in all the Relief and Charges themselves, after braging that Wenvoe's parish should pay all charges and the relief of the child till now."
