Salutem in Christo
Worthye Sir:
I hartelye thanke you for all your love to the Church and your respects to me. And particularlye for your Care of thiss present busynes.2 I have read over the papers you sent, and with mye thankes returne you thiss answear.
Wee at the High-Commission Can doe noe more then the Course of that Court, and the power given us can reach to: That is, wee can but suspend mye Lord of Lincolne ab Officijs et Beneficijs, soe far as belongs to Ecclesiasticall things and Causes.3 And I thinke you need not doubt but be Certaine, that thiss will not operat for the Temporaltyes of a Byshop. And you knowe (beinge present att all the debate in the Inner Star-chamber) that all the Lords agreed upon soe little Fyne because they tooke awaye all the Rents and proffits of his Bishopric and Deanerye, els three tymes as much would have bine layed on hime. Thearfore I doe not Conceave but the sentence must be drawen full accordinge to the meaninge and Expression of the Lords. And as I knowe you love your Masters service well and hartelye, soe out of that Confidence lett me deale plainlye with you. I doe much doubt wheather thiss sentence will give the Kinge satisfaction or not: sure I am it will not, unless you make it full as was intended. Thearfore in anye case be Carefull that noe defect lye on your syde.
I hope to meet you at Oatlands. Thear I must Expect the sentence maye be readye, if the Kinge call for speedye Execution, which is Certainlye fitt.
I will bringe thither with me a list of the printers, and Consider with you of their Complaints. In the mean tyme, I send your papers safe backe againe and sealed, and desyer you to be confident I shall ever rest
your verye lovinge frend
