where for the spedyer accomplishement of this thing yor grace
commaunded my sayd servaunt, this berar, to repayr to Robert
Amadas1, whose advise and counceile is that I shuld sue to the
Binges grace for the obteynyng of a bill tobe signed with his
graces hand, after the tenour of this bill herein closed. Howbeit
I thought it not convenient for me to move his highnes

suche a bill signed by the Kinges highnes for yor Myntes at
Yorke and Duresme, that knowen, if yor grace wil so advise
me, I shal sue to the Kinges grace for a like bille for my
Mynte at Canterbury. In this matier, I humbly beseche yor
grace I may have knowlege of your pleasir by this berar. At
Knolle, the third Day of Decembre, [1528 ?]
At yor graces commaundement,
WILLAM CANTUAR.
Addressed : To the most Reverend father in God and my
very singular good lord, my lorde Cardinal of Yorke and legate
