I do vnderstand that Stoke2 Vicaradge is not yet giuen. It is a great parish. I do from my hart persuade my selfe that at Naylond would be a good Church of God if they had a good minister. Theare is one or two. One is one Mr. Watson felow of Trinitie Colledge. I take the next yere to be his yere of Bachelour of Diuinitie. A Gentleman borne hath of his owne some xx or xxx li. Cleere a yere. A man of gret lerning for his tyme and verie quiet. Theare is another one Mr. Gilgate,3 sonne vnto Mr. Gilgate that dwelt at Langham, one whome I thinke Mr. Manocke4 knew and a verie quiet honest man. A sufficient scholer. A bachelour and so I thinke it may be he will contynue for he is of some good resonable yeres. Let me intreat you euer in the Affection that I know you beare to the Churche of God to look into it and help. If extremitie of busines had not hinderd I would haue bene with you afore this tyme and I purpose afore weekes be ended to come to you. In the meane tyme the thing is presently to be done. Let me intreat importunitie to the vttermost you can. I pitie the Church. The Lord stirre vp all our hartes to loue it and labour for the good of it. I take my leaue thus hastely this hande being wearie. Commending my selfe to your owne selfe and Mris. Wintrop, Not forgetting Mris. Hanna, Your Worships exceedingly behoulding to you
