The eldest son,

CHARLES LLOYD, esq. of Dolobran, b. 9th December, 1637, attached himself in the year 1662 to George Fox and his followers, the founders of the Society of Friends. The Independents were at that period the dominant party, the Episcopal establishment being overthrown, and "The Friends" were as much persecuted by them as they were subsequently after the Restoration. It was at this epoch that Mr. Lloyd, having conscientiously refused to take the oaths of allegiance and supremacy on the accession of CHARLES II., though a more loyal subject did not exist in the country, was at the instigation of his envious neighbour, Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury, who desired his estates, subjected to great persecutions and losses. His possessions were put under premunire, his cattle sold, and his mansion at Dolobran partially destroyed. Although a magistrate for Montgomeryshire, and in nomination for its shrievalty at the time, the penal and oppressive laws against sectarians (arising from the excesses of some) were enforced against Mr. Lloyd with un

mitigated rigour.* He was taken, with seven | Lort, by Olive, his wife, daughter of Sir other gentlemen, who had embraced the John Phillips, bart. of Picton Castle, and doctrines of the "Friends," to Welshpool Mary, his wife, eldest daughter of Sir jail, and confined there until the act of John Perrott, (Viceroy of Ireland, temp.

who directed his words to me, and spoke to him thus in Welch:

"Mae yn ddrwg gennif, fod vu o Hiliogaeth yr hen Frittaniaid yr rhai ydderbyniodd y Grefydd Gristianogol yn gyntaf yd Loeger yn erbyn yr rhai sydd gwedi derbyn y wir Gristianogol Grefydd yr awr hon.'

"The English is thus:

"I am sorry that one of the stock of the ancient Britons, who first received the christian faith in England, should be against those who have received the true Christian faith in this day.'

* "In the beginning of the year 1682 my dear friend, Charles Lloyd, and I went to visit friends in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, &c. &c. and came through their meetings to London before the yearly meeting. I acquainted my friends, George Whitehead and W. Penn, that I intended to go to Lord Hide to acknowledge his kindness for his letter, on my behalf, to Bishop Lloyd. George Whitehead said there was some service to be done for our suffering friends in Bristol, and it was thought convenient that three of the city and three of the country should go with the said sufferings, and desire the kindness of Lord Hide to He replied, He was not against our friends, present them to the king. The three friends for but he said our friends gave their votes for the the country were Charles Lloyd, Thomas Wynne, election of parliament men that were against the and myself; for the city, George Whitehead, king's interest. I told him, It was our birthright, Alexander Parker, and one more. Our friend as we were freeholders and burgesses, to elect men George Whitehead told me that our countryman, qualified to serve both the king and country, but Sir Lionel Jenkin, secretary of state, was so cross how they were corrupted, when they came within and ill-humoured, that when the king was inclined these walls, I knew not. The secretary would to moderation and tenderness to suffering friends, have engaged farther with me in dispute about he often stopped and hindered the relief intended religion. I told him he was an ancient man, and them. When we went to Whitehall, we waited that they had been a long time there upon their a long time before we could speak with them, business, and if he would be pleased to dismiss they being upon a committee a considerable time; us then, and appoint what time we should some but we had sent in by the door-keeper to acquaint morning wait upon him, we would, if he pleased, Lord Hide that we were there, and in time they spend an hour or two with him in discourse about sent for us in. The secretary looked grim upon religion. Upon which he took off his hat, and us. I went to Lord Hide, and acknowledged thanked me kindly for my civility; but we heard his kindness for his letter on my behalf to the no more of him about the dispute. Upon the bishop. He told me that I should tell the bishop whole, our friend G. Whitehead told me he was there would be liberty of conscience in England. more moderate to friends afterwards than he had I told him, I did say so, and did believe it been before. The number of prisoners in the would be so in God's time. Secretary Jenkin list delivered to Lord Hide to be presented to spoke in a scornful manner, and asked me what the king amounted to in both prisons one hundred was Welch for a Quaker, I answered him Crynur and thirty-nine, of which there were eighteen Crynwyr, it being the singular and plural num-aged women from sixty and upwards, and eight ber. But the secretary said, we had no Welch children. In the latter end of the list it was said, for it, for there were no Quakers in the Romans' 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain days. My friend Charles Lloyd answered, mercy.' thou didst ask my friend the question aright, he hath answered thee right, for there is English, Welch, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew for a Quaker.' So the secretary said, 'Sir, I understand Welch pretty well, and English and Latin and Greek; but if you go to your Hebrew, I know not what to say to you.' I left my friend C. Lloyd to engage with this peevish countryman, and presented Lord Hide with a long list of names of men, women, and children, in their several prisons at Bristol. 1 desired him to be so kind as to present their sufferings to the king, which he said he would, and our friend George Whitehead spoke farther to him. Then I turned to the secretary,
