Swan was a "fanatique" in that in June, 1662, he held a radically nonconformist view, "for he finds that he and his company are the true spirit of the nation, and the greater part of the nation too, who will have liberty of conscience in spite of this 'Act of Uniformity,' or they will die; and if they may not preach abroad, they will preach in their own houses." http://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1662/06/22/
Servant to Lord Widrington; claimed, 20 December 1661, to be writing a book called “The unlawfull use of lawfull things” (L&M Index) "Possibly the Treasury solicitor of that name under the Commonwealth." (L&M Companion)
