LETTER: Thomas Willim at Hereford to an un-named correspondent (’your lordship’). Sir Walter [?Bagot] wished him to send a messenger to him so that he might save the two acquittances from Bridger, because the King’s forces commanded there for two years, and his tenant had paid two year’s rent at Glasebury [?co. Radnor]. There is much to do between the Presbyterian and the Independant, which he prays God will settle. Appended: [In a different hand]: NOTE requesting the presenting of a petition of an unnamed bishop to the King, requesting his preferment. All other bishops favourable to the King have been preferred. The £2200 may be said to have been paid in recompense for some land purchased by Mr. William Salesbury, in which case if the money and land be exchanged it be honourable, but otherwise it is an ungodly and unnatural practice against an eldest son by a father.
