Deever.		 11. Thos. Stapleton to Fras. Nicholls, Prince's Court of Wards, Fleet Street. I hope soon to pay the 60l. which I still owe. The mayor of Macclesfield has not set forth any acres of the common for the use of the preacher, as ordered by Council; the people have petitioned to retain those acres, and for the prince to find the preacher's house, and cease paying the stipend of 50l. as they will maintain him; if this be granted, there will be no preacher, for the townspeople would rather pay money for bear-baiting than for any charitable purpose. I hope nothing will be granted away from me, which I hold from the prince during my absence. [1 page, damaged.]

Jersey.		 12. Sir Philip Carteret to the Archbishop of Canterbury. On my arrival in Jersey, on the 19th, I found great discontent in many of the people, and much dissension between the bailiff and the dean, all things tending generally to great oppositions, which most expected I should further and maintain. Contrariwise, the few days I have been here, I have discountenanced these proceedings, and am now aiming at such a moderation as may redress things to a settled quietness, and hope shortly to give such an account to you as shall make it appear how much I affect the accomplishment of His Majesty's pleasure; but fearing that meantime some information may be given of these troublesome beginnings, whereby we might incur His Majesty's indignation and your displeasure, I entreat you to free us therein, until I can effect that whereby His Majesty shall receive all contentment.

Inner Temple.		 13. Thos. Stapleton to Fras. Nicholls. I do not wish to be known to be in town. I am standing knight, and fear danger from the adverse party. I will pay the monies due, with arrears, but markets are down and cattle poor, and will not sell. [½ page.]
May ? 14. Catherine Hunckes to her brother Sir Edw. Conway. Best remembrance to yourself and Lady Conway. Thanks for the money received from you. I enclose an acquittance. The Dean of Worcester has written to my son [Dr. John] Archbold [prebend of Worcester] that there is great life in the Bohemian [cause]. I am exceeding glad * * * * *This letter came yesterday * * * * * * Archbold was at Lo[ndon] * * * * [½ page, damaged.]
