ouched you,
but all the bishops within your province; and that it is no reason that the
holle charge and cost thereof should rest only in you; but that they and
every of them, for their part, should advance and contribute certain sums
of money towards the same: I for my part will be contented to advance in
this behalf, and to make payment thereof unto your servant, Master William
Potkyn.
"Pleaseth it you to understand, I am well contented to give and advance in
this behalf ten marks, and shall cause the same to be delivered shortly;
the which sum I think sufficient for my part, if every bishop within your
province make like contribution, after the rate and substance of their
benefices. Nevertheless, if your Grace think this sum not sufficient for my
part in this matter, your further pleasure known, I shall be as glad to
conform myself thereunto in this, or any other matter concerning the
church, as any your subject within your province; as knows Almighty God,
who long preserve you. At Hoxne in Suffolk, the 14th day of June, 1527.
Your humble obedience and bedeman,
"R. NORWICEN."

Cambridge man to his most towardly college. It were a gracious deed if they
were tried and purged and restored unto their mother from whence they came,
if they be worthy to come thither again. We were clear without blot or
suspicion till they came, and some of them, as Master Dean hath known a
long time, hath had a shrewd name.--Dr. London to Archbishop Warham: _Rolls
