Archbishop Warham's Letters (1518? to 1528?), (from H. M. State Paper Office)

as far as my powr lernyng serveth me, I am grevid otherwise than the lawe wold, as I doubt not but that other lerned in the lawe woll affirme, if they be required, and woll speke indifferently according to thair lernyng.
   It hath pleaced your grace to say unto me dyverse tymes heretofore that ye wold take away no parte of the jurisdiction of my church of Canturbery. And I thinke verely that this is attempted wtout your graces mynd and knowlege, and that your grace is and wolbe so good and favorable as to suffer me and my church to enyoy our lawfull rightes accordingly, and that your grace woll commaund your said Officers to wt drawe the said attemptates, or at the leste to commaund thaym no farther to precede in thoes same, tyll I may attende on your grace and make ferther sute unto you therin presently, which shalbe the nexte terme, by the grace of our Lorde. Which, if it may pleace your good grace to do at this my powr requeste, I shall thinke meselfe moche bound to the same in that behalve, as I am many other wayes, For which God rewarde your grace wher I am not able. And if ther be any service or pleasur that I can do to your grace, it shalbe ready at your commaundment. At Otforde, the xxvjth day of February, [1519 ?]
                                     At your graces commaundment,
                                                      WlLLAM CANTUAR

Indorsed: To the moste Reverend father in God, and my very singuler good lorde, my lord Cardinall of Yorke, legate de latere, his good grace.

12. FROM THE SAME TO THE SAME.
   (In commendation of Master Doctor Tunstall, "a man of good learning, virtue, and sadness," just appointed to the See of London.)
   In my moost humble and moost hertie wise I commende me to yor good grace. And where I am informed that it hathe pleaced the Kinges moost noble grace to name to the bisshopriche of London maister Cutbert Tunstall, maister of the Rolles, at yor gracis speciall commendation, furtheraunee, and promotion, I thank yor good grace therefor, as hertly as I can; and in my power opinion yor grace could not have owed yor favor
