Nudus egressus, nudus revertor, Dominus dedit, Dominus abstulit,
Sicut Domino placuit, sic factum est, Sit nomen Domini benedictum. Amen.
Beati Mortui qui in Domino moriuntur, ne reminiscaris Domine delicta
Nostra, vel parentum Nostrorum, neque vindictam sumas de peccatis nostris.

O all yee Spirits and Soules of the righteous bless yee the Lord, praise him and magnifie him for ever: God grant that we may never be wanting in all those Christian and charitable duties which are required from the living to the dead.

Creamur, morimur sequentes qui nos præcesserunt.

E. R.

Credo quod Redemptor meus vivit, et in novissimo die de terrâ surrecturus sum, Et in carne meâ videbo Deum Salvatorem meum quem visurus sum ego Ipse et non alius, et oculi mei conspecturi sunt.

(y)

Credo videre bona Domini terra viventium

Tribularer, si nesciens Misericordias tuas Domine,

Requiem æternam fidelium, Amen.

A letter (torn) from Bishop of Glocester to A. Bishop Laud dat 28 Aug: in Paper Office:

The Bishop tells him that God had not fitted him for the disposition of Gloucester, so that he could not do God or the Church or his Majesty any service there. -expressed great sorrow for the loss of Hereford, which he was desirous of above other Bpricks--would not have returned to Gloucester but in obedience to his Majesty.that he resolved as soon as he had made up all in the Exchequer, to resign his Bprick (only one subsidy behinde) and live on his rural commendam which he should do as freely (but cannot say as cheerfully) as good K James of blessed memory bestowed it upon him-desires the King would give him as good means as he left for Bprick: else he could not satisfy his engagements, or provide for his dependants pretends he would do something for improveing the Bprick: if it might be taken well and legally settled--desires answere by the messenger, that he may dispose of his Servants, and sent a long petition to His Majesty-but not mention'd the Resignation.

He protested before God, that the King was so far from popery, that there was noe man in England more ready to suffer Martyrdome, than His Majesty.

From a MS in Biblia Regia Cant: not well worded, but seems hence to appear that they had proceeded to deprivation, had not the Bishop of Salisbury dissented.
