consul of Scio and Smyrna in place of Lawrence Greene whom they have removed."
6 December, 1636. Petition of Lawrence Greene to the King. "On the death of William Salter, he was appointed Consul at Smyrna, by his Majesty's Ambassador with the Turkish Emperor, afterwards confirmed by the Company of English Merchants trading in those parts. Having done them many services these five years, he has received no allowance for his pains, as his predecessors have done, whereupon he has made stay of some of their goods. For staying of which goods the said merchants now at his return labour to arrest petitioner (in this dangerous time) and restrain him from attending His Majesty or the Secretaries of State as he ought. Prays letter of protection."
