11 Sept. S.P. Hen. VIII., 229, f. 9. R.O.	163. THOMAS PRIOR OF DURHAM to RUTHAL.
	Whereas in your last letter your Lordship desired me to assist your chaplain, Master Chancellor, his wisdom is such as to need no counsel from me, but the little I can do shall be always at his command "if it should be at midnight." You have a jewel in him, who has finished "great and troublous matters" with few words and as good contentation of parties as ever I knew. You may rest assured of the quietness of your diocese when he is therein, and I have been ever glad of his presence. I would have begged your favour for a singing man who has done special good service in your church, for a small office which my lord Archbishop of York granted him, but dare not be so bold, hearing that you were displeased because I passed so many confirmations. "I cannot now amend that that is passed, for if I might I should," and I humbly beg forgiveness. Durham, 11 Sept.
