"I heard of it," replied Patience: "but I did not know it was a bad sign." "It is a dreadful sign," returned Blaize, with a shudder "The thought of it brings back my old symptoms.
* It appears not that the commons, though now entirely masters, abolished the new impositions of James, against which they had formerly so loudly complained; a certain proof that the rates of customs settled by that prince, were in most instances just, and proportioned to the new price of commodities.

The retrenchment following the massacre led to the temporary abandonment of Paces-Paines; yet late in 1622 Pace returned, having promised to "fortifie & strengthen the place with a good company of able men."
