Salutem in Christo.
My very good Lord.
Your Lordship will excuse me that these my Letters are not soe formall as they are wont to be. The occasion of theyr breifnes is this. You lately gave me a touch in your owne Letters, and I have since understood it more fully by your Sonne, that there is a Gentleman in those partes who intendes very well towardes the poore Colledge at Manchester, and is willing to part with some 400li towards the buying in of theyr House, which is now in the handes of my Lord the Earle of Derbye. I have allready spoken with my Lord Strange about this busynes, and he hath very nobly promised me to doe all fayre offices he can with my Lord his Father. Soe that I conceyve good hopes by the Kinges gracious favour, and your Lordships care in this matter, that Colledge may ere longe recover, and flourish againe. And that which I shall desire of you now is this, that you will take some good opportunity to speake with my Lord the Earl of Derbye, and my Lord Strange his Sonne (being now in those Partes) and likewise with the Gentleman abovementioned, and dryve the busynes to as fayre an Issue as possibly you can. Whereupon I shall desire you to send me word, that I may acquaint his Majesty and give you such further directions as shall be necessary. And in this I make noe question but your Lordship will use all manner ﹛of﹜ diligence that shall be fitting. Soe wishing you health I leave you to the grace of God and rest.
Your Lordships very lovinge Freind.
