From Tony Fuller -
Well, having had a look at Proceedings XXVI, 5, p.449, it seems that the two Pierre/Peter Lorties were made bankrupt on the days mentioned in the piece. The names are also in Volumes 14, 21 & 24.
The name LORTIE and MALORTIE appears 109 times in 18 of the Hug Socs other publications together with all the other stuff that I have.
Volume XXXIII of the QS, Court Records of the Weavers Company of London, clearly identifies the two individuals concerned being apprenticed and then taking a number of apprentices themselves.
As for NETTLE, it only appears in V.25 of Proceedings, which is your reference and then there is just one Dutch/Walloon name (Nesstlested) in the records of the Norwich Church .
And of course the French word for nettle is ORTIE!!!
