Letters c. and cclii., and note on p. 184. | to introduce them
to your excellency. On account of your absence they must be
brought before you by letter. Know, therefore, this brother as
being worthy to be trusted by your intelligence, because he fears the
Lord. As to the matters on behalf of the poor, which he refers to
your good-will, deign to believe him as one worthy of credit, and to
give the afflicted all the aid in your power. I am sure you will
consent to look favourably upon the hospital of the poor which is in
his district, and exempt it altogether from taxation. It has
already seemed good to your colleague to make the little property of
the poor not liable to be rated.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
