A letter sent to Boner Bishop of London, from sir Richard Southwel knight.
Pleaseth it your Lordship to understand, that the Lord Rich did about seven or eight weeks past,1 send up unto the Counsel, one Will. Andrew of Thorpe within the County of Essex, an arrogant heretic. Their pleasure was to command me to commit him unto Newgate where he remaineth, and as I am informed, hath infected a number in the prison with his heresy. Your Lordship shall do very well (if it please you) to convent him before you, and to take order with him, as his case doth require. I know the Counsel meant to have writ herein⟨p. 1703⟩ [figure] unto your Lordship, but by occasion of other business the thing hath been omitted. Wherefore knowing their good pleasure, I did advise the keeper of Newgate to wait upon you with these few lines. And so referring the rest to your virtuous consideration, I remain your good Lordships to command, this 12. of June. 1555. Richard Southwel.
