veniency  T  can  ;  and  I  praye  you,  yf  he  have  any  occasion  to
come  to  you,  that  you  will  speake  to  Williamson  of  Barton  to

with  him  in  that  kinde.  Thus,  commendinge  my  love  to  you,
desirous  to  see  you  shortly,  I  rest

MATTHEW    HUTTON    TO    SIR    TIMOTHY    HUTTON.
23  Sep.  1G26.
Sir,  M^  Sotherne  hath  falsifyed  his  trust,  and  this  morninge
before  I  gott  to  towne  arrested  my  unckle  Thomas ;  who,  for  any
thing  I  can  gather  from  him,  is  content  to  undergoe  the  ex-
treamity  of  the  law,  and  that  out  of  willfulnes  rather  then  ne-
cessity. He  intendeth,  yf  he  can  prevayl  with  the  Under-Sheriff,
to  see  you  in  his  way  ;  in  which  respect  I  have  made  bold  humbly
to  intreat  your  forbearance  of  any  further  engaging  yourselfe  untill
all  such  to  whom  any  preceding  incumbrances  do  a2:)pertaine  be
called  in,  to  knowe  what  security  they  will  be  content  to  accept
off,  that  so  we  may  know  the  uttermost  of  our  dangers  before  we
engage  ourselves  any  further.  I  intend  this  night  to  know  Sir
Talbot  his  intention,  and  presently  after  you  shall  partake  the
same.  Thus  cravinge  pardon  for  my  boldness,  humbly  cravinge
your  blessing  for  Your  dutifull  sonne

Matthew  Hutton.
