File NLW MS 465E/338. - Richard Parry, bishop of St Asaph, at Gresford, to John Wynn of Gwydir,

Until receiving his letter, had never heard of Wynn's refusal to subscribe to his certificate, but conceives no worse of him than that he is a very wise and sufficient gentleman. The subscription of a man from their country would not further the business neither would it be hindered by the absence thereof. Is far from imagining that a gentleman of Wynn's place and worth flatters him or expects benefits from him. Has no means to afford the same, for, as Wynn truly writes, the Bishop has little enough to support his own estate. Is very sorry to hear Wynn's hard censure of his predecessor [Bishop Morgan]. The original of this letter is in Cardiff MS 4.57 (Pillipps MS 16063). See "Letters of William Morgan ... and Richard Parry ..." (1905). The letter is printed in Yorke, Royal Tribes of Wales, pp. 142-3.
