MY LORD THough I have deferred to give you an account of your last Letters yet I have beene no way forgetfull of your commands in them For upon the first opportunity offered I acquainted his Majesty with the affection and zeale expressed by you to his service which neither the meannesse of your fortune nor the multitude of your troubles could so quench but that you were ready to the utmost of your power and something above it to give your assistance His Majesties gracious Answer was that hee was very well perswaded of the truth of it but as then things were not ripe nor did he looke much from his Clergy till he were in a Posture to defend them Vpon this and wanting withall a convenient Messenger I forbore to venture a Letter towards you till I saw his affaires drawing neerer towards an issue They that are able to helpe must either doe it at this time or never nor can your Lordship doe better service then in a private way till a publick way may be protected to deale with the ablest and likeliest men of your Clergy to that effect The King is now comming neerer to you but I stay yet at Yorke with a part of my charge till wee are sent for I beseech your Lordship afford mee a place in your prayers as you have in mine who am Your most affectionate friend and Brother Br.
