My very Good Lord.
I have receaved two Letters from you, the One of the 9th, the other of the 18th of October. And they Came to my hands together now by your servant. And since Mr. Secretary kept your former Letters by him so long, without delivering it to mee, you must blame him not mee, that you had not your Answer sooner.
Concerning Mr. Thomas Godwin, and his remoove of the Chayre, in which your Lordship used to sitt at sermons and that without giving you any notice, was in the very best Construction a very foolish and a peevish Action. But you must not looke, that I will take upon me to Censure anie man, where I have nothing to doe, being out of my Visitation, and without knowledge of the Circumstances of the Action: But I leave you to Order and punish those Thinges, as you shall finde fitt.
This I finde by your Lordships Letters, that Dr Burghill Continues the Lecture (if I mistake you not). But that is directly against the Statues of the Church; And therefore I doe hereby pray, and require you, That he doe presently leave the Lecture, and that the Church proceede to the Choice of a New according to Statute. But whether the Dean and Prebends will think it fitt to have 2 Brothers Residentiaryes at the same tyme, I leave to themselves to Judge. For my owne part, if my Judgement be asked, I Cannot approve itt.
Your Lordships second Letter needes noe Answer; what the Note inclosed Contayning your Answer to the Information against you needes one, and a Larger, then I have now Leisure to give.
