A certain friend showed me, that Doctor Wilson is gone now into his country about Beverley in Holderness, and from thence he will go a progress through Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, and so from thence to Bristow. What he intendeth by this progress God knoweth, and not I. If he come to Bristowe I shall here tell. &c.

As for Hubberdin (no doubt) he is a man of no great learning, nor yet of stable wit. He is here seruus hominum:1 for he will preach whatsoever the Bishops will bid him preach. Verily in my mind they are more to be blamed then he. He doeth magnify the Pope more then enough. As for our Saviour Christ and Christian kings are little beholding to him. No doubt he did miss the cushion in many things. Howbeit they that did send him (men think) will defend him: I pray GOD amend him, and them both. They would fain make matter against me, intending so either to deliver him by me, or else to rid us both together, and so they would think him well bestowed. &c.

No doubte hee did misse the cushion in many thinges. Howbeit they that did sende him (men thinke) will defend him: I pray GOD amend him, and them both. They woulde fayne make matter agaynst mee, entendyng so eyther to deliuer him by me, or els to ridde vs both together, and so they woulde thinke hym well bestowed. &c.
