434 LETTERS RELATING TO 



Winchester* and the bishop of Ely f , and also to the 

 master of the rolls J, the two lord chief justices , 

 justice Dodderidge, and justice Hutton, who for 

 merly assisted me in the cause, to treat of some 

 concord in a reasonable moderation between the 

 ministers and the mayor and the commonalty of 

 London in behalf of the citizens ; and to make some 

 pact and transaction between them by consent, if it 

 may be ; or otherwise to hear and certify their opi 

 nions touching the cause, that thereupon his majesty 

 may take such farther order, by directing of a pro 

 ceeding in chancery, or by some other course, as to 

 his wisdom shall seem fit. 



You will have care to draw the commission with 

 some preface of honour to his majesty, and likewise 

 to insert in the beginning of the commission, that it 

 was &quot; de advisamento cancellarii&quot; (as it was indeed) 

 lest it should seem to be taken from the court. So 

 I commit you to God s etc. 



Jan. 19, 1617. FR. BACON, Cane.
