Josiah Cotton and John Clark, he recalled, "had some discourse Together" regarding the house that Clark "had Lady Dwelt in." Cotton angrily informed his delinquent tenant that "unless he made up With him he might Expect to be Sued" for the unpaid portion of his lease. In Lothrop's words, "Clarke Reply'd that if he Saw the devil he Would tell of itt."
