As William Maurice respected Robert Vaughan's father while he was alive, entreats his love and furtherance for Robert Vaughan and his. Knowing how highly his father regarded Gwen verch Ieuan, except that she yielded to match with Robert Vaughan's uncle, her last husband, at the motion of Robert Vaughan's mother, is at this instant pressed to desire William Maurice to allow her by his means to enjoy her own in quietness, and that all suits or dislikes shall be brought to a loving end. Would by this bind her to pray for William Maurice and Robert Vaughan to rest thankful.

Presuming on William Maurice's kind disposition, has detained a certain sum in his hands, for which he finds William Maurice expects present payment, or he will put Henry Johnes to further charge than Henry Johnes thought William Maurice would put one who had been so little trouble to him. If William Maurice continues his intended course, as Henry Johnes hopes he will not, considering the many great sums he has received from Henry Johnes, William Maurice will more than hinder Henry Johnes than at first that little could please him. Now is a dear time to provide money and Henry Johnes has parted with great sums and craves William Maurice's forebearance. William Maurice shall find him as unwilling to be asked a penny by any man as now he is unable to satisfy William Maurice unless he much hinders himself. If he is driven to that extremity, must attribute it to his fortune to be no more esteemed by those who should by nature better care and further his good. But does not doubt that William Maurice will have a feeling consideration of his occasions and give him some further time without charge to provide the money; he shall find Henry Johnes thankful for it.

Expected that William Moris, according to his promise, upon sending for the trunk and stuff to Oswestry, would have sent the money he promised. Requests him to send it by the bearer, Cadwalder Hughes, Richard Gruffyth's neighbour.

Received William Maurice's letter together with which William Maurice sent William Lacone a letter which Maurice Robyns had written long ago to William Maurice touching him, which Maurice Robyns neither can nor will deny, whatever it contains. William Maurice further writes that Maurice Robyns should deal honestly with him because he did not send William ap William hither. Desires William Maurice's men and all others with whom Maurice Robyns has dealt to lay what dishonesty they are able to his charge. Seeks only his own, and very often has much ado to come by it. William Maurice writes that Maurice Robyns countenanced his kinsman to abuse Marie Gruffythe; it is not so, for neither did he abuse her, as Sir William Thomas and Sir Richard Gwynne, who had the examining of the matter, can tell, nor did Maurice Robyns countenance him in that or any other unlawful action. Would have William Maurice think that 'all is not gospell that they speake', as is very well known to most in the town. When the matter is tried, it shall then be known who is wronged and foully abused, both in the church at prayers and sacrament time and abroad, by Marie and her sister, so that Maurice Robyns cannot be permitted quietly to read prayers or administer the sacrament without interruption. Were it not that they look to be countenanced by William Maurice, as appears by his letter to the Chancellor, by their report, it would be otherwise, for the minister should be of all places quiet in the church and especially at prayer time. Trusts that when the bishop comes, he will see all these misdemeanours and their like severely punished, for Maurice Robyns must tell William Maurice 'for a truthe upon good proofe', that Marie Gruffythe did not stick to speak ill of all the clergy in generall, terming them 'develes and blacke dogges', words worthy of extreme punishment. Thinks that whoever bolsters her in these words shall find enough to do, and the bishop will without doubt think the worse of him and will perhaps inflict great punishment upon the offenders. Long may he [the bishop] be in health, for Maurice Robyns hears very honourably of him, that he will not see any of the poor ministers of his diocese abused, as long as they behave themselves honestly in their calling, although nowadays they are little set by. The bishop will defend their honest cause against rich or poor.

Presuming upon the more than vulgar affection which William Maurice has always borne towards learning and the professors thereof, and upon the undeserved promises which William Maurice and his good lady made John Davies when he was at Clenennau, humbly entreats them to solicit the bishop on his behalf when he comes to the country. Begs William Maurice to be mindful of him; his means are very small and his father is a poor man, unable to provide for him, having already pinched himself to bring John Davies to that learning to which he has already attained. Is therefore driven to come to William Maurice for succour, as his chief refuge next to God, not doubting that William Maurice, according to his wonted care for others of John Davies's state, will remember him when the bishop comes. Meanwhile craves pardon for his boldness, with continual prayers for the health and prosperity of William Maurice and 'my good ladie'.

The poor bearer, Humffrey Jones's man and William Maurice's late servant, an agent, with others of William Maurice's servants by William Maurice's appointment and directions, in keeping possession of and chasing off cattle from the lands in variance between William Maurice and his neighbour Robert ap John ap Humfrey, was made the principal plaintiff to bring an information in his name at the Council of the Marches for some supposed misdemeanour committed by Robert ap John ap Humfrey and his people. All the differences were afterwards mediated by Lord Eure, the late Lord President, and upon the non-prosecution of the information the poor fellow was fined some five marks or thereabouts, which still comes in charge against him to the sheriff. If he is taken thereupon, all his means will not discharge it. Therefore craves William Maurice's favour on the bearer's behalf, that William Maurice, now having other occasion to go to the Council, will take some course for the discharge thereof, since he became subject thereto by William Maurice's means and occasion. William Maurice will therein do a very charitable deed and Humffrey Jones will acknowledge it on the bearer's behalf, howsoever lies in his power. Postscript: Mr Rowland White of Beaumaris has some timber bestowed upon him in Merionethshire by diverse of his friends, which is lying ready sawed and squared. He desires the help of his worthy friends in these parts and their tenants to have them carried to the waterside to be loaded. Among the rest, has special directions to solicit William Maurice as Rowland White's friend, for William Maurice's furtherance therein. Parson Rowlands of Harlech and one Anthony David Lloyd will say where the timber is, if William Maurice will leave directions with his tenants to help the carriage upon notice being given to them.

John Lloyd, Ludlow, to Sir William Maurice, kt, at the house of Mistress Willington at the sign of the Swan in 'Powles Chayre neere Powles churche', London. Since William Maurice's departure, diverse motions have been made on both sides in William Maurice's causes, but hopes that the goodness of William Maurice's causes and the due care had by those put in trust to effect William Maurice's affairs have been such that William Maurice's causes have been so managed that upon reading the copies of the orders which Mr John Powell, William Maurice's careful attorney sent him, William Maurice will call to memory what John Lloyd said in William Maurice's chamber when he took his leave, which he hopes he has in all respects performed as far as in him lay. The substance of the orders is that William Maurice's possession shall continue, although no express words to that end are mentioned in the order in respect that it is not needed in respect of William Maurice's former possession until the matter is tried in the Exchequer and the misdemeanours are tried next Trinity Term in the Arches after the causes for the title are heard and censured in the Exchequer, the mean profit to be paid by William Maurice since he was last in possession until the matter is heard at the Exchequer, if the trial falls against William Maurice, which John Lloyd hopes will never happen. If John Lloyd has not been mindful of William Maurice and his causes to his utmost, he is to blame, but refers his censure herein to William Maurice's discretion, and prays that he may be able to perform any service which is pleasant and acceptable to William Maurice. 'Pauca sapienti'. Has done his best according to his duty, and will continue to do so for William Maurice or any of his while he lives. Prays God to defend William Maurice and his from the wicked wiles of his adversaries and to continue His gracious love and favour to William Maurice, continuing also William Maurice's health, welfare and prosperity. Commendations to Mr Thomas Pughe and all William Maurice's followers and servants. Postscript: Sir Henry Towneshend commends himself to William Maurice. Mr Thomas Pughe's friend's ? Lealand appeared but was dispatched out of hand by the appointment of William Maurice's friend Sir Henry Townshend. John Lloyd's intended journey to London is at this time delayed.

The Lord President was at the last assizes in Chester, Flintshire and Denbighshire last April. He stayed in Flintshire and Denbighshire for the whole assizes and thence came to the appearance. On the first night of his return he lay at Sir Edward Broughton's house near Wrexham, and the second and third nights at Sir Edward Kynaston's house. The fourth night, a Monday, he and the Chief Justice lay at Sir Henry Towneshend's house. On Monday 11 May, the Lord President went to London, sent for by the King, as John Lloyd is informed; whether he will return next term is not yet known. Mr Justice also travels to London on Friday 15 May; John Lloyd does not know his occasions. The Lord President took the view and sight of all trained soldiers of Flintshire and Denbighshire and saw them trained, at the time of the assizes he intends to go through all Wales to that end. Mr Samuell Parker, a man of Ludlow worth £20,000 at his death, died last week, having only one daughter. John Lloyd is at this time troubled with an ague. Intends to be in London next term; if William Maurice or any of his servants is there, John Lloyd will not be forgetful of his duty in giving the best directions in William Maurice's cause that he can as the occasion requires. It is credibly reported secretly in Ludlow that a letter lately came to the Lord President mentioning great musters to be held very shortly. Cannot learn the certain time; many are to go forth from all counties in armour. Has no other news.
