A72	Letter. From Isaac [Barrow], Bishop of St. Asaph, to Gabriel Edwards and Richard Jones, Bailiffs of Oswestry, chiding them for reminding him of his promise to remove the Oswestry schoolmaster. He reminds them that the promise was made on condition that they ‘should affoord a civill & friendly usage’, which they have failed to do, since they ‘have putt many abuses & affronts uppon him, & given him all sorts of discouragements by sequestring his rents, & suffring ye rude rabble of yr towne to interrupt him with unseemly language, & a continued violence of severall daies in ye performance of his duty’. He will hold to his promise, but points out that had they dealt fairly with him he would not have delayed. For partial transcript see A99 p. 140.	9 Jan. 1672/3
