Salutem in Christo.
My very good Lord.
I thanke you heartily for the List of the Judges in Ireland. Now as occasion serves, I shall be able to put their Names, and theire Places together, and so understand, who they are that doe either good, or bad Offices, though perhaps I shalbe little able to helpe, when I know.
‘Tis greate pitty, the Ring-leaders of your Non-Conformists fell short of New England; but ‘twas an ill hap, that they diverted to Scotland: Fo[r] as I guess by your Letters, no tempest but theire owne, drawe them in thither and (God knowes) they have too many there already. So that I heartily wish, they were as able, and had as good meanes to purge out these humours, as (God be thanked) you in Ireland have.
Your Lordship did very well to refer the Question (at the Committee of Fees) concerning the apportioning of Goods, by the Ecclesiasticall Judge to my Lord Deputy: but in the meane tyme I have confer’d with Sir Henry Martin about this Busines to the same purpose, which you writ last. And here I send you a Copie of that which he set downe with his owne hand, and which I thinke, wilbe worth your sight. So that now my Lord Deputy may have this by him against the Committee comes to Him, to confer of the Busines. And I think, it were not amisse, a Copie of this were somewhere recorded to the use of that Church. Which I leave to your judgment and Care.
I thanke you for letting me understand, what was the intended a[ccom]modation betweene the Primate, and the Provost, And am very glad to heare by you, that that Busines is setled.
Sir Robert King hath done very nobly in restoring so many Impropriations. I pray, God reward him for it!
God be your good speede in your treaty between the Lord Treasurer and the Bishop of Waterford. For I should be very glad to heare some good settlement of that Busines. And for the Archbishop of Dublyn, it is greate pitty his Sea hath been so improverish’d, as to disenable for service either to King or Church. I hope it will please God to open some way or other for the bettering of that Sea as well as the rest.
