 of whom we are moved with compassion, and do for 

 their sakes heartily condole their mishaps) you are (our 

 entier friend) of a certaintie to understand, that after 

 we shall be by your letters advertized of the number, 

 state, and condition of the sayd parties drowned, we will 

 cause suffrages of prayers and divers other holesome 

 remedies profitable for the soules of the deceased and 

 acceptable to God and men, religiously to be ordained 

 and provided : upon condition, that for the soules of our 

 drowned countrey men there be the like remedie pro- 

 vided by you. The almighty grant unto your selfe and 

 unto your whole Order, that you may prosperously 

 triumph over the enemies of Christ his crosse. Given
