¶A letter of Iustice Saunders, to his bro∣ther Laurence.

* 1.1AFter my most harty commendations, these bene to a certaine you that I haue spoken with M. Basset, who hath shewed me that 4. pound (all deductions being allowed) is the whole that hath come to his handes of the profite of the Prebēdary at York, the which you shall haue although as he thinketh, it was not due vnto you by the reason of your depriuation: before it was due. As concerning your conscience in Religion, I beseech God it maye be lightened by the holy Ghost, and that you may also haue the grace of the holy Ghost to follow the counsell of Sainct Paule to Timothe. 2. Recte tractare verbum veritatis. That is. To handle rightly the word of truth. Wherein you ar dissenting from many holy and Catholicke men, especielly in the Sacramēt, maketh me in my conscience to condemne yours. For althoughe I haue not hitherto fancied to read Peter Martir & other such. &c.* 1.2 yet haue I had great desire to see Theophilact and diuers others of his sort and opinion both notable and holy Fathers (if any credit be ge∣uen to the writinges of our auncient fathers before vs) and sure∣ly the sentences and iudgementes of two or three of them hath more confirmed my conscience then 300. of the Zuinglians or as many of the Lutherians can or should doe. Thus in haste willing to reliefe you to the end you might conuert, if you shall need to∣wardes your finding, if you shall require it of me, you shall vnfay∣nedly finde my mony ready, as knoweth our Lord, who send vs al thinges good for vs. Scribled this Thursday by your brother and petitioner to God.

Ed. Saunders
