I am to pay my owne Rate and some 5li for other men that I owe it vnto and allthough that I haue had bills due from the Countrey one yeare and 7 monethes synce for 70 and od pownds I must now haue my goods solld except I pay out this money: which seeing I haue mony to receive from the countrey methinkes it is verry hard measure. I cannott see equitie in it. I may safely say that If I had had my money as was then fully intended being then 100li it had donne me more good in name and state then now wilbe made whole with double the money but yf there be noe remedy but my goods must be strayned and solld, I desire your worshipps aduice per this bearer which is the Constable what course is to be taken in putting it of. I thinke he comes vnto yow for counsell in that behallfe: thus with my due respecte in some hast I rest Your worshipps to command
