LETTER CII.

To my worshipfull master, Sir Robart Plompton, kt.

After due recomendations, please yt your mastership to under-
stand that of late I was at Yorke, wher I understand ye have an
accion hanging against myne host, John Ellis of Yorke, wherfor I
am right sory, for the good hart I bere to him, that he shold mys-
content your mastership and give you cause of accion. Neverthe-
lesse, Sir, I have broken my mynd, and he is not that man that
wold displease your mastership in no wyse, nor troble you in any
matter; and for any fault, whatsoever yt be, abyde your owne
judgment and award in every poynt, and be corrected in all causes
after your owne mynd, if yt please your mastership so to take him.
And over this, he shall come to your mastership and submyt him-
self according to his duety, as yt is abovesayd. And, Sir, if your
mastership be thus content, I trust ye will se him have fre lyberty in
comyng and goyng, and if yt please your mastership to be thus
content, and that I come with him to you, I trust to God he shall
so deserve at his departure, ye shall have cause to be his good
master. And so as I may, I besech you to be, upon this humble
submyssion, for I have advysed him so to doe, the which he is
right glad and aplyable, and thus our blessed Lord ever preserve
you. Wrytten at Harwood, the Sunday after Candlemasse day;
and by this bringer I besech your mastership I may Know your
good mynd.

Your loving servant,
(3 Feb. 1498-9.) THOMAS LYSTER.
