21 Jan. R. O.	77. John [Stokesley] Bishop of London to Cromwell.
	I have been continually laboring this week with Mr. Copynger to convert him, and I have now some better hope. He seems not to care so much for his life as for the continuance of good religion and "perfyghtly" life in Syon of the whole congregation, "which, as he saith, as hath lately be impaired and sore now blemished by the irreligiosity of sir Bishope and one other," and except they might be "avoided" the house, as their old and long suit hath been, their contagion shall impeach the devotions of that company for ever. He seems as lieve to die in this opinion as to return home whilst they continue in the house, though the King's grace pardoned him and sent him home. But if these two be put out, and the congregation be suffered to keep their rule and their ceremonies as they have done hitherto, and those whom he names in the bill enclosed would certify him of their conscience in this matter required of him to grant and follow, I think he will be conformable and will do much towards establishing the other. He is in much favor with the brethren, and especially the sisters. His modesty and passion are so good, as I suppose you perceived at your being there. This fellow Lache is rude in comparison, and will follow if this man is won. It would be well, therefore, that you should grant his request.
	I will send you the advowson Mr. Kytson delivered me when I came to Fulham. I intended to have read it at leisure, and brought a copy in my purse, because Kytson on Friday last appointed here with me that he and Newman should choose judges to overlook the titles. You will see by it Kytson's title. It seems good, except that the other party brings an advowson of the patronage and of the nomination, which are claimed by the earl of Northumberland. Had the matter been clear I would have instituted Kytson's friend long since. Excuses himself for not sending it before. Scribbled in haste on receipt of your letters. London, 21 Jan.

Cleop. E. vi. 179. B. M.	78. John Copynger and R. Lache to the Charterhouse in London.
	Are sorry to hear of their troublous estate. Have been in the same opinion as the brethren in London, and in trouble and danger therefor.
	Advise them to learn to resolve their conscience and to believe that the writers, and others of more virtue, learning, &c. than they, have done so with charity, true faith and perfect unity of Christ's Church, and have conformed themselves to the uniform decree and order of this realm. Deny that such resolution of conscience was caused by fear of bodily pain, penury or death, by fear of worldly shame or by worldly friendship, honor, or preferment. Duty informed and ordered, charity did alone work such resolution. By which charity they were desirous to know if they might escape sin, if they should depose their conscience, and found it well enough, by good and Catholic learning, and that of duty they ought to resolve their conscience. Thus upon ground of good learning they did so, and they see matter to absolve all doubts and scruples of conscience. Advise them to conform themselves to the whole company of learned and unlearned, and to see that none are among them who "would be out of religion, and so by hypocrisy rest in the opinions and set others in heart so to rest, that he so as in glory go forth and bring other with him to endless misery." If there is among them any wilful person who will not obey the prior that God hath set to be obeyed, "his Prince, I mean, nor his prelate," if he have learning to defend his opinion, and will learn, he may be satisfied by learning. If he will not learn, beware of him, as Paul bid. If he allege his conscience, then must he show upon what science his conscience is grounded. If it be grounded upon a precept of God, he may not depose it; but if it be grounded upon "a counsel of Scripture" he is no more bound to his conscience but as he is to the observing of such "counsel," and to leave such conscience is no more sin than not to keep the counsel of Scripture. With these let him learn that obedience to his Prince and prelate bind him to do their commandment if it be not expressly against the law of God. Have much labored concerning the authority of the Prince upon the Church of England and of the bishop of Rome. Have found both in the Old and New Testament great truths for our Prince and nothing for the bishop of Rome. Of these their labors, gave to the rev. father of Shene several papers, with Scripture, councils, canons and doctors, to show them the clearness in these matters. By this bearer, "my brother" sends a book rehearsing the doubt that brought many in scruples and absolving them, which will satisfy all those who will hear learning. If there is any other doubt or scruple among them, and they will send it, will diligently and in all charity send their mind and learning in it. Answer one or two questions they have sent. First, as to the King being supreme Head of the Church of England, next and immediately under God. If there is any Church in England, the King is supreme. St. Paul bids all the Church to be obedient to his Grace, quia superior potestas, St. Peter bids all the Church be subject to his Grace, as to the most precellent person among them. The whole Church of the realm, the particular Church, with "your head, our bishop," and all the particular prelates and others, so take him. Advise them not to be so stiff in the contrary. Though it seems that the King does in the spiritualty what other princes did not before, the truth is that in this doing he does not break the law of God, for doctors grant that the bishop of Rome may license a layman to be judge in a spiritual cause, and, if he may, it is not against the law of God that our Prince as judge directs spiritual causes. Also the Old Testament shows how David, Josuas, Jozaphat and Ezechias, who were of the most perfect kings, set orders and ordinances among priests and Levites; and Christ, in the New Testament, did not abridge the authority or diminish the power of kings, but warned his apostles that they should not look for such dominion nor authority, but be ministers and servants for all persons. Anthony grants kings to be vicars of Christ, namely, Saul and David. The Scripture grants that Saul was the head of the people and Church of God. Can show them other things if need be. Beg them not to stand in this disobedience, nor to be so uncharitable to Christ's Church as to make it lose the prayer that may be in their devout house to the world's end. Let not the people lose the good example of life ordained to be led there. They take the words of the Council of Basille wrong, for they were written only for that one man Felice, and yet were only received for him by certain people. Adrian bishop of Rome, the last of that name, alleges that Council to be of suspect authority, so that the words are not material. If they will look at the 35th chapter of the Canons of the Apostles, at the Nicene Council, the 6th of Carthage, the 99th dist. of the Decrees, at Chrysostom, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustin and Gregory, they will see that from the beginning there was no such pontificality given to the bishop of Rome. His prelacy grows not of law and scripture of God, nor of antique Councils, or Councils received as such. Advise them not to die for the cause, but save themselves and their house and submit to the Prince.
	P.S.—"Good brethren, if I were in good health I would write my full mind unto you, but now I beseech you to be contented with the charitable writing of my learned and devout brethren, which ye may surely follow with good consciences. Per me, Johannem Fewterer, Confessorem Generalem."

	By the divine word you spake unto me in the abbey of Kingeswodde, that the word of God, the Gospel of Christ, is not only favored but also set forth by you, it has emboldened me to make a little book concerning the supremacy of the King, which I have dedicated unto you, begging you to close up the eye of justice and open the eye of pity to me and the religious men of this house, who have no succour except in your evangelical charity.

	Since I last wrote, "as I devised with my friend Mr. Stapleton," I perceive letters were written by you to my Lord, my old master, for my coming up. I should have been glad to comply, and satisfy you "concerning the parting with my poor lands in Kent," yet all would not serve that I should come up without some displeasure to my old master, to whom I am so much bound.

	Said he heard that one "coat of religion," the Black Monks, had gathered 160,000l. to make an insurrection against the King. and that the money was shipped in wool packs at Southampton to the bishop of Rome.

VIII., before the lord of Trymletiston, chancellor, the prior of St. John's of Jerusalem, the chief judges of either bench, the Treasurer of the Wars, the Master of the Rolls and the Chief Baron and second justice of the Common Pleas. He believes that the rebellion of Thos. Fitzgerald was begun by the means of justice Delahide and dame Jenett Eustace, wife to Sir Walter Delahide. He heard from Walter Hosey of Mellussey, now dead, a friend of Fitzgerald's, with whom he made an agreement for the safety of his lands, that Delahide had advised him to burn all the country, and that dame Jenett Eustace had provided for the furnishing and victualling of Maynooth.

22 Jan. R. O.	86. Wm. Lord Sandys to Cromwell.
	I heard that hunting had been two nights past in the Queen's park of Mortimer, and therefore willed my brother this day, Thursday 21 Jan., to go and see the manner thereof.
	On coming thither he heard hounds and hunters, among whom were young Trapnell, Mr. Inglefield's son-in-law, and six of his servants, who immediately attacked him and hurt him sore. I write to you for redress, for if it were not more for dread of the King than of God, I would have been revenged. Young Trapnell has killed 20 of the King's deer on the border of Windsor Forest. Two years ago he slew a great hart, and carried him away in a cart. Unless some remedy be devised the King's deer cannot be defended. The Vine, 22 Jan. Signed.

	I received your letter on the 20th Jan., asking me to cancel the convent seal delivered out of the bailiwick of Dunstable to my brother, at the King's request, because you state that I made aforetime a promise of the said office to Adam Hyllton. I made no such promise; but when you asked me to extend his term, I said it was not needed. When the King's letters came to me for my brother's preferment I obeyed it, and the bill is not in my custody. My brother is unwilling to part with the lease, as he has no other preferment. I think you would not speak in behalf of Hyllton if you knew how he has used me; and unless he that occupies this place is my friend, it is dangerous to the house. In die Conversionis S. Pauli.
