29. County Commissioners for co. Devon to the Committee for Advance of
Money. We have sent you several packets of great concernment the last
6 weeks, but had no receipt. The cry of the country is that, if they are fineable
for delinquency, they may know their punishment, according to their petitions
and particulars which we sent, and they will submit to your goodness and justice;
"till you give your resolutions herein, they are a humble, waiting people,
and are more terrified with fear of the charge and attendance, than of their
fines." |

We have sent you discoveries of undervalues on impropriate rectories, which
will produce money speedily, but discoverers are troubled for want of encouragement, and we are troubled that, soon after our letters are sent to you, the
contents are known here in the county, which causes dishonour and dis-service.

The multitude of business has caused us to employ 2 more assistants
