Salutem in Christo
Sir
I thanke you for your love, and well wishinge to my remove from one great trouble to a greater: In which Place I shall need not only the well wishings but the Prayers of all my Frends.
I shall be very glad to receave the money due to the College from the Bishop of Waterford. But I pray in any case, doe not relye to much upon his word for money comes very hardly from him. But I am very sorry he keepes his old wont, and that he hath carryed himselfe soe unworthily in that Place. Yet [if he] and his Brother of Corke will petition the Kinge for the [Bishopric of] Lismore, and the College of Youghall, they will make some little piece of amends, for their former Sacrilegious basenes. And if any such Petition ever come to my hands, I will followe it close, and doe the Church all the right I can. And it wilbe very hansomly carryed if the Petition may come recommended hence to my Lord Deputye.
I pray in any case keepe my Lord Deputy mindfull of the great busynesse concerninge the Impropriations, which are as yet in the Kinges hand. I knowe my Lord disposes them very nobly as they fall, and if they cannot [be] safely disposed of to the Church but by an Act of Parliament, god sen[d] an Act to pass when time shall serve. But Mr Attorney hath a… they may be past otherwise; were all men else as willing and ready [as the] Kinge himselfe is. But I knowe not howe, the Church must allwayes fin[d some] rubb or another.
For your selfe, I heare nothing but good of your labours and endeavo[rs] there, and I hope I never shall heare other. If I should, (though I will allwayes hope it proceeds from some malignity against your Place or your Person) yet you shall be sure I will give you notice of it. I pray commend my Love to the Master of the Rolles. Soe in hast I leave you to the Grace of God, and rest
Your very loveinge Frend
