dicissimam uxorem meam, cum duobus charissimis filiolis meis, commendo. Eundemque Deum optimum maximum precor, ut ita in posterum infractis animis portemus probrum Christi, quo semper meminerimus hîc non esse nobis civitatem manentem, sed inquiramus futuram, gratia et misericordia Domini mei Jesu Christi, cui cum Patre et Spiritu Sancto sit omnis honor et imperium. Amen. 26. Octobr. ann. Dni. 1554.

Et adhuc [die] hoc 6. Augusti ann. Dom. 1557. [1555.] persto eâdem constantiâ, suffultus gratiâ et benignitate Domini mei, et Servatoris Jesu Christi. Quo inspirante absolvi Psalterium versu metricè linguâ vulgari; et scripsi defensionem conjugii Sacerdotum contra Thomam Martin, 3. Febr. ann. Dni. 1555.

Hactenus coram Deo ita lætus, sorte meâ contentus vixi, ut nec superioribus inviderim, nec inferiores despexerim : huc omnes conatus meos dirigens, ut Deo servirem in purâ conscientiâ, ut nec major me despiceret, nec timeret minor. 14 Octobr. ann. Dni. 1556.

Et adhuc lætus, sorte meâ contentus, testimonio conscientiæ meæ in Domino confisus, et fretus verbo ejus vivo; expectans redemptionem corporis mei per Christum Servatorem meum. [ann. Dni. 1557.]

Parker and other Bishops elect, their private address to the Queen against the exchange of Bishops' lands; and for other reasonable favours.

they bare to the estate of Christ's faith, did much tender "the advancement of learning, by cherishing of students, "and encouraging of Ministers; whereby they were the more able to do their duty to God, and to serve the "necessity of the realm; by which their royal and princely

affection, they purchased perpetual fame and praise, as “wel within their own realms, as throughout al Christen"dom: so we trust undoubtedly that your Grace, being "endowed with the benefits of knowledg far above any of "your noble progenitors, wil be enclined no less to the "maintenance of learning, for the setting forth of Christ's "true religion, now, for want of sufficient Ministers, in great jeopardy of decay. In respect wherof, we trust, "that your Highnes gracious disposition wil yet stay and "remit this present alteration and exchange, as we suppose ❝ in our consciences (under reformation of your great wis"dom) not meet to proceede for the inconveniencies therof, "now partly perceived like to ensue; and upon such good

"And yet, lest we should appear not to consider your Highnes's manifold and great charges dayly sustained in "most honorable wise; we five underwritten, for us, the province of Canterbury, do offer to give unto the same yearly among us one annual pension of one thousand "marks, during our lives and continuance in the bishoprics, “for and in consideration of the exoneration of the said "exchange.

"Howbeit, most gracious Soveraign, as most obedient subjects, in true and lowly allegiance of our hearts, we sue and pray, that if this our said supplication shal not be "thought meet to take place, that yet your Highnes would "condescend favourably to peruse these our petitions follow"ing, which we be perswaded to be grounded upon natural "equity, godly conscience, and good conformity, for most 66 part of them, to the act passed.

"II. Item, That yearly pensions payable may be reprized "out of the parsonages set over in exchange; and that "yearly distributions with the charges of church books, &c. "may be allowed, such as the Injunctions bind the Rec"tors withal.

Item, That perquisites of courts and wood-sales, "and other such casual profits may be parcels of the extent "of the manors; and that consideration may be had for the "equivalent recompence of the same: and that allowance may be made of procurations and Synods, [Synodals,] 'payable at the visitation of parsonages impropriate; and
