MY LORD,
LONDON, MARCH 24, 1708-9.


I AM commanded by his excellency the lord lieutenant to send the enclosed to your grace, in answer to a letter his excellency lately received from your grace, and several bishops, relating to the first-fruits of Ireland. This will spare your grace and their lordships the trouble of any farther account from me. I shall therefore only add, that his excellency commands me to assure your grace of his hearty inclination in favour of the church of Ireland; and am, with great respect, my lord, your grace's most dutiful, and most obedient servant,
