servant to the schereffe, and the schereffe shewed my servant that

Archbishop will compleane of my son and you; and sath, that he
will indyte them that was at castyng out of tham. And, Sir, I
pray you that you be not myscontent, that I sent not to you, for
indeed I make the labor that is possible for me to make, and as
yet I cannot speed; but as shortly as I can, I shall spede the
matter. No more at this tyme, but the Trenytie have you in his
keeping. Scribled in hast, at Plompton, this sunday next after St.
