W. LOMNOR TO JOHN PASTON1

 

RYGHT worchipfulle Sir, yours goode cosynes and
     frendes avyse yow to come to Walsyngham, and that
     ye be there to morw betymes at vj. on the clok; for
the Lord Moleyns offreth a trete for the goodes, and amendes
to be made, or he goth ought of this contre, and if it be not
taken, his men shulle justifie; wherupon your title might be
hurte. The Lord Skales, the Justis, and other knygtes and
squyeres merveyle grettly ye come not, and thow they that
have not so true and evident mater as ye have concelle yow to
be absent; yet I wolde ye dede as ye be desyrd be that fela-
ship, for many wolde yow right welle. Whanne ye come, I
shalle telle yow more.

     The Lorde Moleyns shulde not have be aquyte of his
comaundement, hadde he not sworen on a boke, sweche
evidens was ayens hym; and ther is no jentelman wolde
aquite his men for no goode, &c.                 W. LOMNOR.

     1 [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter has no address, but there can be no
doubt from the contents it was intended for John Paston. It was evidently written
about the same time as the last, while the Sessions was sitting at Walsingham, and
Paston’s suit against Lord Molyns was still pending.
