A letter sent from the Marques of Winchester, Lord Treasurer, vnto Boner B. of London, tou∣ching the examination of the said prisoners.

AFter my right harty commendations to your good Lordship, I shall not forget your liuerie of blacke against this time: no more I shall maister Deane,* 1.1 to whom I wrote to make the sermon, who must now assuredly do it: for my L. of Chichester cannot at∣tend it. To whom I haue geuen like knowledge by my letter now sent, and your Lordshippe must commaund the Sextens of youre church to be in readines for ringing in the time of seruice. And if ye be not furnished with blacke apparell for the aultar, and for the Priest, Deacon, and Subdeacon, I must haue knowledge ther∣of, that it be taken of the Queenes stuffe, whereof I pray you let me be aduertised.

And ye haue sent Bradford to Newgate, as a man determined of heresie before you: but as I perceiue ye haue not sent me a Si∣gnificauit, and therfore you must send me one that I may procede with him, and that shal I do, assone as I am answeared of you.

There be diuers like prisonners that came from Sussex, that be not yet examined before you, lying nowe in Newgate, whych must be examined by you,* 1.2 since they be come to London, and so I pray you they may be, and I certified of your proceedings, that I may follow, which I shall doe, thanking your Lordship heartely for my Conies, trusting to recōpence your Lordship again short∣ly with twise as many.

From my house this 7 of Iune. 1555.

Your louing friend, Winchester.
