LORD BALTIMORE REINSTATED. 229
On his return from England, in 1658, Governor Fendall brought with
him this agreement, also instructions dated November 20th, 1657, relating to
grants of lands, ordering, among others, one of ten thousand acres to Edward
Eltonhead, who was no doubt a near kinsman of the councillor shot, after
•quarter given, by Puller's court martial. Fendall's powers are subjected to
certain restrictions by this document, and he is ordered to exercise them
subject to the advice and consent of Philip Calvert, the proprietary's brother,
and secretary of the province, or, in case of his death, of Thomas Cornwaleys.
Barber surrendered his powers back to Governor Fendall, the articles of agreement were publicly read, and theT8th of March following appointed for the
meeting of the opposing parties at St. Leonard's creek. Fendall's delegates
presented themselves on the appointed day, but the Puritan envoys not
having arrived, they adjourned until the 20th, when Captain William Fuller,
Eichard Preston, Edward Lloyd, Thomas Meares, Philip Thomas and Samuel
Withers arrived. The Puritans objected as before to a clause in the oath of
fidelity, desired an amnesty for past transactions, and requested that they
might not be disarmed on account of danger from the Indians. These
demands were conceded, and the oath modified so far as concerned persons
^already in the province, and the agreement thus amended was adopted two
-days later. Fendall's commission was read and proclaimed, and a General
Assembly summoned to meet at St. Leonard's on the 27th of April, 1658.
Thus, after nearly six years of usurpation, the ascendancy of the Puritans
:in Maryland was overthrown, and the Lord Proprietary reinstated in his rights
.and authority.
