90 BISHOP. OF GALLOWAY’S CORRESPONDENCE
you met with in your dioces.1 I wish the people there
may long continue in that good humour, and that your
Lo/ may finde them more and more tractable. It was to
me a very great refreshment to heare of the hopefull
progress of the King’s effaires in England ; and that his
majestie and the Duk doe continue to owne this poor
church : I heartiely wish that all who are intrusted in the
governement of it may so acquit themselves as that the
King may never hav cause to think he hath misplaced his
Royal favour on them. I must earnestly beseach your
Lo/ to present my humble duty to my Lord primat, whom
I hav so much importuined of late that I dare not adven¬
ture to giv his Grace the trouble of a letter, unless I had
something to write that were of moment. I resolve never
to fail willingly in that duty and obedience I ow to his
Grace, and if I happen at any time to err through impru¬
dence or inadvertency a very little intimation of ane
escape of that nature will reduce me. I wish all happiness
to your lo/ your family and effairs and shall ever continue,
My Lord, Your Lo. most affectionat brother and faithfull
servant, Alex" Rossen.
