(Stockholm, 29 July 1637.)
Stockholme 29 of July 1637].
I haue difFerred till this tyrne the relation of the meeting w:ch
was held here; aboute Ecclesiasticall matters; where in my busines
was taken also amongst other things into consideration: because I
could not satisfie my selfe fully in the Judgm[en]t of the resolution
w:ch they had taken & what hopes there were of proceeding further
with them: now since I haue spoken with the Lord Chanc: & haue
some more light I will lett you know the particulars of their whole
proceeding soe farre as they are materiall that from thence you may
gather what hopes there may bee hereafter of bringing the worke
to some publicke issue: after that all their owne affaires for w:ch
they were cheifly called hither (w:ch did concerne the Establishing
of some Bishops, the inaguration of the Archb[isho]p: the Erecting

answers; I replyed that I would doe soe; there vpon hee begun to

soe that they did rest satisfied therein: but I doubting what the end
or issue of such a conference might bee; & haueing perceiued that
two scribes were sitting behind my backe w:ch did write vp all my
