I know that Bishop Richardson is John Richardson, Bishop of Ardagh in Ireland, who was a colleague of James Usher, who also recommended that Parliament employ Mr. Smallwood.

Does anyone know the first name of Mr. Smallwood? I found a Matthew Smallwood (d. 1683) who may be a possibility. How about Mr. Pemberton?
