Letter Text:
[fol. 19r]
In humble wise may yt please your H. to be advertised that my verey good L the Earle
of Derbie and the other knights appointed to deale in the affaires of Christs Colledge
in Manchester, have taken some paines to some good purpose: for by their wise and
gentle dealing many of the Tenants are verey reasonable and iiij Towne shipps small
though they bee have surrendred the Leases of their Tythes freelie to the use of the
Colledge for the Maintenance of Hospitalitie. dyverse Gentlemen have the rest in
lease, who, I am affraid, though their title be no better, will not yeeld so easilie.
my L of Derbie and the other Comissioners will also deale with them at further leasure. In
the meane tyme Masterr deane of Paules will make a motion to your H. for Master Hearle,
that the Colledge might be dychardged of his pencion, for the revenewes will not in
ani wise beare yt.
