Dear Sir,
I have perused the decree of the Court of Exchr. In 1667 when Sr. Matthew Hall was Lord Chief Baron, as well as the Act of Parlt. of the following Year enabling the Bishop of Durham to grant Leases for three Lives, & from these Instruments I am clearly of Opinion that the Tithe of the Ore is to be set out for the Rector clean & well wash’d as soon as it is ready for the smelting Mill, & that it is not subject to any Deduction for the Bishop’s Ninth or to any oth

My Lord,
I accept very thankfully your <Correction>. I have struck out the word ‘desired’ in the 4th page.

All the same I feel the force of your L[ordshi]p’s observ[atio]n. _ The word has been horribly abused. _ Cannot I prev
