Salutem in Christo
Mye verye good Lord
I thanke you hartelye for your Leters of September 22 and though a faire opportunitye be offered for Dr Morton, yett I am hartelye sorye for the death of your Sonne, and would rather have had anye other opportunitye then one soe Caused. But wee ar all in the hands of God, and since it hath pleased hime to take your sonne to himselfe, I doe with all love and kindnes accept your offer for Dr Morton, whoe I hope will shewe himselfe a dewtifull man to your Lordship and a Regular man in the Church. I have nowe sent hime your Lordships Leter, and required hime to attend you, and to be ruled bye you accordinge to these mye Leters, which I praye your Lordship to shewe hime, that he maye see howe carefull both of us ar for his good.
Mye Lord I am cleare of Opinion that it will be best for Dr Morton to take the prebend and the parsnedge of Barrowe. And to Exchainge the benefice he Nowe hath for Tatnall, though the lease of it Come not out these fower years. That soe his means maye lye round togeather, and then he maye the better Expect some thinge of better value, as it shall please God to give a faire opportunitye. And I hope I shall satisfye mye Lord Keeper that Mr Goad maye have that which Dr Morton leaves. If you goe on in thiss waye Dr Morton must have a dispensation which shall be granted hime for the holdinge of two livings soe soone as I heare which ar the two he pitches on.
That you pass bye your sonne in Oxford, for mye sake to accommodat Dr Morton, I must and doe take for a great obligation from you, and doe farther assure you that if God lend me life, your sonne shall be noe looser bye it. Soe in great hast I leave your Lordship to Gods blessed protection and rest
your Lordships verye lovinge frend and Brother
