Salutem in Christo.
My very good Lord.
I have been importuned by some Freindes of myne at the Court to write these Letters to your Lordship, and conceyving the Suite they shall motion to be very reasonable, I could not forbeare to trouble you with these few lynes at this theyr earnest request. My Lady Carye tell's me that she hath voluntarily laid downe some thinge of good value in those Partes and left it to the church. And… bee such, that she is very sensible of this Defalcation yet out of her goodnes, as being loath to contend against the Church, and out of her confidence of your noblenes, she hath willingly let goe that holdfast which she had, though the losse therby be somthing prejudiciall to her. And now her earnest Suite and hopes are, that you will stand her freind soe farr as to thinke of some thinge or other that may conveniently be added to her in liew of that which she hath soe readily parted withall. To which I shall adde this request of myne that she being a Lady of very good fashion and quality, and well respected by both theyr Majesties you will take the best care you can to give her content, and as occasion serves let her or her Freindes understand how I have discharged the trust they reposed in me, of writing to you in her behalfe. Soe wishing your Lordship health and happynes I leave you to Gods blessed protection and rest
Your Lordships very lovinge Freind and Brother.

To the right Reverend Father in God my very good Lord and Brother the Lord Bishop of Derry in Ireland. these
