sealed with my sygnett for the same; & if not, I will put the exigend into

LETTER CLXVII.

To the right worshipfull Sir Robart Plumpton, kt.

Right worshipfull Sir, in the best maner that I can I recom-
mend me to you, praying you to send me the money which my
father lent you at London, the which is iiij^li; for your sond Ed-
mund^a promysed me at London, if I wold suffer the exigend,
which I had agaynst you, not to goe out agaynst you, that I should
have the money now at my comyng into the countre. And
therfore, if so be ye will deliver to this berer the aforesayd money,
he shall deliver to you the exigend, and an acquitance sealed with
my sygnett for the same; and if not, I will put the exigend into
he schereffe hands, and then ye shalbe outlawd shortly. For if
I had not kept it in my hands, ye had bene outlayed or now, as
knoweth Jesu, who preserve your mastership in worship. At
Standley, the xvi day of Aprill.

^a This is the only notice I have met with of Edmund Plumpton; he probably died
unmarried in his father's life-time.

Yours to his power,
ROBART CHALONER.
