1635, but that it was not forwarded to the King at once, as is thus explained by the archbishop, who says: "I have defferred the presenting of this certificate to your gratious majestie longer then I should have done, in expectacion of my Brethren, ye Bishops of Durham and the Isle of Man their certificates, which I have not received: rather adventuring to take ye blame upon myself then that I would seem to informe of their negligence." To which is affixed the King's annotation, "I like your diligence, but they must be cheked for their slakness." The Report is docketed "January 1635[6] Lo: Archbishop of Yorke—certificate."[1]
In the spring of the year 1636 the bishop received from Lord Wentworth the following letter, endorsed "lr̃e of L: Deputy Wentworth about his coming over to England 22 Ap. 1636":
"My very good Lord
You are still pleased to remember me and expresse your Lop's respectts unto me, for wch I wishe I weare able to returne you any valuable service.
Since out of your curtesye I have wth soe much kindnesse the choise of yor Lop's house for my Lodging at Chester, I doe very thankfully accept of it, and willbe bold to trouble you during my shortt stay ther, wch God willing shallbe but one nighte, it beeing more then Highe time I were at London, regarde had to my private affaires.
The certainty of my cumming I cannot precisely appointe, in regarde it depends not only upon the affaires here to be first settled, but that a winde allsoe must be exspected when it pleaseth God to send it, and therfore I doe most humbly beseeche you to make noe other provision for me then your owne diett, wch I am sure willbe good enough for me, but in the negative I am able to say it will not be possible for me to shire hence till munday cum seavennight at soonest.
Lastly amongst all thes incertaintyes I am yet able in all certainty to resolve your Lop most fully and most truly that I am
Dublin this present Friday in Easter weeke, 1636."
