my most kind and worthy S.r
Yow last which I received was that wherin you gave us to understand of the establishinge of d K. in the Coll. to whom I have addressed & I hope they are receaved by this some few lynnes, as speedilie & effectuallie as I could, accordinge to your desire; and the matter which was entreated of, since which time I am credible infomed that the place which is imposed upon him is a thinge forced contrary to his minde & will, but he is willinge to concurre & conjoyne wzth us in all thinges in what he can, but he seameth somewhat to timorous, (as I have he [sic] obiected it unto him as his fault) to enterprise any thinge not practised before because of the censure given in such affaires by P. Quod nihil est innovandum & therfor dares not as yet make you his Agent untill it be motioned by some meanes unto the cheifest. I have moved Mr Nel. to writt unto the dr as touchinge this busines, as allso unto you concerning all other our affaires, which I doubt not but he hath performed. The Bened. say heare that your cheife suite was opposed & resisted for that it was propounded that the Bis. might be their superieurs for so hath Mr Beach written to them, & that f. Owen gave him the first knowledge therof, & so they conioyned together in opposition: they frame dyvers reasons & argumentes that it is thinge most inconvenient that they should be subjected or commaunded by any such superior who is ignorant of ther rule, life, discipline, & other affaires belonginge to ther company; and that ther Superior should be commaunded by an other not proportionated to them as they say, a thing most unagreable[.] But it seameth they are not willinge to any at all, upon any fashion whatsoever.
