Tipping, in giving liberty unto him to make his ap 

 pearance before you after the holy-days, at my re 

 quest ; who, as I understand by some friends of mine, 

 who moved me to recommend him to your lordship s 

 favour, is willing to conform himself in performance 

 of the decree made in the chancery by your lordship s 

 predecessor, but that he is persuaded, that pre 

 sently, upon the performance thereof, his son will 

 make away the land that shall be conveyed unto 

 him : which being come to Sir George from his 

 ancestors, he desireth to preserve to his posterity. 

 I desire your lordship s farther favour therefore unto 

 him, that you will find out some course, how he may 

 be exempted from that fear of the sale of his lands, 

 whereof he is ready to acknowledge a fine to his 

 son, and to his heirs by Anne Pigot ; and, they fail 

 ing, to his son s heirs males, and, for want thereof, 

 to any of his son s or brethren s heirs males, and so 

 to the heirs general of his father and himself, by 

 lineal descent, and the remainder to the crown. 

 This offer, which seemeth very reasonable, and for 

 his majesty s advantage, I desire your lordship to 

 take into your consideration, and to shew him what 

 favour you may for my sake ; which I will readily 

 acknowledge, and ever rest 



Your Lordship s faithful servant, 



G. BUCKINGHAM.
