From the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Lord London.

Croydon August 2^d 1676.
My Lord,
The inclosed came lately unto me, and from a person alto-
gether unknown. The design therein proposed, seem's very
honest and is in itself so laudable that I conceive it concern's
us by all means to promote it: If your Lordship shall please
to remember it, when the Lord Baltamores affaires comes to
be considered of at the Councel Table, I make no question but
there may be a convenient opportunity to obtain some settled
revenue for the Ministry of" that place as well as the other
plantations; when that is once done, it will be no difficult
matter for us to supply them with such as are of competent
abilities to undertake the employment and withall such as we
know to be both regular and conformable. I bid your Lord-
ship heartily farewel and am My Lord your Lordships
Most affect: Friend and Brother
Gilb: Cant:
