Right trusty and well beloved. Wee greet you hartly well letting you witt, that Blessed be ou Lord God we have been right merry in ou pilgramage. considering iij Causes, one is how that the Church of ye province of Yorke & diocesse of Durham be as nobill in doing of Divine Service in multitude of Minists and in sumptuous & glorious buildinge, as anie in our Realme. And alsoe how our Lord has radicate in the people his faith and his Law. and yt they be as Catholicke people as ever wee came amonge and all good and holy. that wee dare say, ye i Comandemt may bee verified right well in them. Diligunt Dominu Deum ipsorum ex totis animis suis. et tota mente sua. Alsoe they have done unto us all great hertly Reverence and Worshipp. as ever we had, with all great humanity and meekness. with all Celestiall. blessed and honoble speech and blessinge as it can be thought and imagined. and all good and better than wee had ever in ou Life, eaven as they had beene celitus inspirati. Wherefore we dare well (104) say, it may be verified in them ye holy sayinge of ye prince of ye Apostles. S: Peter when he sayeth. Deum timete. Regem honorificate. Qui timent Dominum et Regem honorificant cum debita Reuerentia. Wherefore ye Blessing yt God gave to Abraham Isack and Jacob descend upon them all. &c. Wryten in our Citty of Lincolne, in crastino Stæ (sic) Lucæ Euangelista 1448.
