Request for Clemency help

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the second word in this might be. Its a request for clemency.


Yarmouth, ? in strong terms where Mason was well known and where his wife and relatives now reside.

For context and help, the previous page and paragraph starts with

The petition is supported also by a memorial from the inhabitants of Great

Thanks for any suggestions

Cheers

The word is:  Expressed

The second letter doesn't clearly present as an x, but the middle letter of now in the last line doesn't clearly present as an o either.

No doubt it is meant to be Expressed, with a long-s as the first of the double-s.
