Understands that William Maurice has written to Hugh Davies requiring 30s. of Thomas Bodvell, which William Maurice alleges Thomas Bodvell passed his word to him for one John ap William ap Hugh, late constable of Dinllaen, which William Maurice utterly mistakes. It is true that Thomas Bodvell wrote to William Maurice entreating him to forbear with John ap William ap Hugh for as much of the mise as was unpaid in the constable's hands as long as possible, because he knew the constable to be out of money at the time. Similarly William Maurice had written to Thomas Bodvell on behalf of William Gruffith ap Rees of Llecheiddior, to bear with him for William Maurice's sake, which Thomas Bodvell did and is as yet unpaid. Procured the constable to pay 40s. because Thomas Bodvell had written to William Maurice on his behalf. If there is any more due to William Maurice remaining in the constable's hands the mare is sufficient of him to make satisfaction at William Maurice's demands.

Understands that William Moris sent an 'atagement' [attachement] upon Henry Johnes and some of his tenants in Cardiganshire to the sheriff. Desires him to stay the atagement till Henry Johnes comes to speak with him which will be very shortly after the holidays, if he does not meet with him in London next term. At their meeting, will content William Moris for what shall be found due. Entreats William Moris's stay till then and he will find Henry Johnes very [...] to content him. His wife is ill and has kept her bed ever since a little after Christmas.

Received William Maurice's letter 'yesternight'; this morning has come to Bangor on business of his own and his cousin Brynkyr, and will spend the day there. On Friday or Saturday a commission is to be executed concerning William Jones, and at the beginning of next week sets out for London. Hopes therefore that William Maurice will not blame him for not coming to Eifionydd. Had time permitted, would have been very willing to end all suits between William Maurice and William Jones's cousin; knows it does not please William Maurice to be in suit, and neither is it to the ease and profit of William Jones's cousin. Will endeavour to end things between them as soon as possible.

William Maurice having 'appointed the field and made the challenge', will now not meet. In the 'parle' at Henry Rowlands's house, with Mr Jones and the other side, William Maurice was the first to provoke them to a compromise by sergeants and Henry Rowlands was pleased that William Maurice made that flourish while he limited the judgement and final order to Sir Edward Cooke as umpire. But at Caernarvon without Henry Rowlands's privity William Maurice subscribed to three sergeants in which he was overweighed by Mr Jones, who is better acquainted with sergeants; William Maurice was the more overseen since he did it without reference to Henry Rowlands. Is loth to drive the hatred to himself as a peace breaker in William Maurice's conformity. Both sides will never agree on the sergeants and the compromise will fall of itself. Touching the main cause, Mr Jones, though Henry Rowlands finds him inclined to the other side, makes it doubtful and does not brag at all of the issue, for the church is likely to be favoured in so unconscionable a matter. But Mr Lloyd, Henry Rowlands & William Maurice's friend by his cousin Brynkir's relation, makes it a clear case for 'him', which requires no great charge in law, in his belief that Mr Jones speaks for the other side out of favour and inclination to discourage Henry Rowlands and William Maurice more than out of judgment in law. The weakness of Henry Rowlands and William Maurice is that 'they' have full purses on a dead man's charge to follow the business whereas Henry Rowlands and William Maurice are poor and weak which 'they' observe well enough, and it makes 'them' confident. But William Maurice delivered great words before 'them' in Henry Rowlands's presence; it pleased Henry Rowlands that their heavy purses should not so easily carry the matter, and that William Maurice would spend himself therein before being wronged or overweighed. Of this Henry Rowlands is witness and does not doubt that William Maurice will do the same. William Maurice said he would be in London next term to manage the business himself; otherwise it was a great oversight to refer it to three sergeants and two counsellors. The journey in Henry Rowlands's opinion would be well worthwhile. For his part, Henry Rowlands is one and the same. If William Maurice sticks to 'him' and assists 'him' auxilio et consilio, will not forsake 'him'. But for Henry Rowlands to bestow the living and bear the charge of the suit is more than William Maurice thought fit. Therefore writes to William Maurice, in Henry Rowlands's cousin Brynkir's discouragement, to know his resolution, so that otherwise Henry Rowlands may ease 'him' and rid himself of the business with as much credit as he can. Let William Maurice look what he thinks good; Henry Rowlands is indifferent and inclinable, though it would have been more to their credit had it never been talked of. But it is but a money matter and William Maurice has spent money worse and more idly many times. Henry Rowlands wishes that William Maurice will be in London next term if required. Postscript: William Maurice forgot to send the tenth of Llanbeblig, namely 20s.4. William Jones goes to London on Thursday. Henry Rowlands is surprised that William Maurice did not write to Henry Rowlands what he requires of him; hopes William Maurice will now do so.

His lordship insisted on sending the bearer with a letter to William Maurice to know his mind concerning William Brinkir's proceeding in the Llaniestyn business. For his own part, would not for any good in the world seem to draw William Maurice to anything against his will; has always found William Maurice herefore readier to help him than he can ever requite. Told his lordship William Maurice was disappointed of a great sum of money so that he could not help William Brinkir as William Brinkir's matter to fee lawyers and procure sergeant's opinions next term requires. If he has possession as he hopes, the benefice will be worth £100 at least between now and Michaelmas. Would rather have William Maurice manage his fortune than any other even if he had thirty pounds less than from another, but would not have William Maurice strain himself for what he cannot conveniently do for the living. Asks William Maurice to write his mind calmly to his lordship and 'let it fale out as it may deus providebit'. Told his lordship William Maurice had done nothing in his conference with Mr Jones except in relation to his lordship, but he expected mention to have been made thereof in the writing or William Maurice to have informed him by letter. Mr Chauncler is at his benefice in Denbighshire; Mr Jones goes away next Thursday.

William Maurice has sent for the money that Henry Johnes owes him. Confesses he is in Henry Johnes's debt and will repay him as soon as he can. Entreats William Maurice's patience at this time and will pay for them; if he could get money for anything at this time William Maurice would not have sent for them. Had a hundred pounds' worth of cattle to sell and could not [...] for them and therefore is forced to keep them until May. Asks for an acquittance for his mother's £300 and £20 for last year. Will see William Maurice himself after the holidays and will do his best for William Maurice's money. William Maurice wrote for a gelding for Henry Johnes's mother; has no horse that is quiet enough for her to ride. Wishes to be remembered to Sir William Thomas and his lady, desiring him to pardon Henry Johnes for withholding his own from him, but will pay the money. Postscript: His wife remembers herself to her aunt Janne Grefid and thanks Henry Johnes's mother and William Maurice for her token. His wife will get a token for his aunt.

Excuses himself for not calling at Clenennau on his way home; was informed at Penmorfa that William Maurice had gone to Bangor to meet the Justices and the news from William Maurice's grandchild Mrs Owen was so slender as not to be worth delivering or hearing. Thomas Owen's business with his own affairs, especially his commission, is such that he hardly has time to come to William Maurice. Tried all his wits and 'tost them like a tonnys ball' but could not draw 'her' to a compromise in the differences between 'you'. Urged that good would redound to her if she listened to William Maurice's counsel and referred the present odds to William Maurice's courtesy and that prejudice daily grew by their division, instancing Robert ap John ap Humfrey's recovery etc. If there were no great hindrance except her consent, by reason of the reversion, [urged her] to join William Maurice in a reconciliation. She answered that she knew no cause of difference on her part; if there were any, it was on William Maurice's. As for the titles they wholly concerned William Maurice's being in possession, etc. She hoped William Maurice would do his utmost for his own good to preserve his ancient estate from impeachment without cause or title which if there be, she hopes William Maurice will take the best course to an agreement, believing that there is no adverse party in those titles that would not rather lose than stand out with William Maurice. She further hopes William Maurice will rather do her good than any hindrance to the maintenance of herself and eight children, whom in Thomas Owen's opinion she brings up well. She will be ready at William Maurice's command, embracing his blessing, to show him all kind offices, and to come to the county on good terms. Understands William Maurice has 'compromitted' once again the matter between him and Robert ap John ap Humfrey. If William Maurice thinks Thomas Owen's presence would stand him in any stead, Thomas Owen will be ready. Would like to be informed when William Maurice's man goes to London and whether he may use him if necessary in the matter between him and Mr Williams; would give him some consideration.
