I think I cannot do better service towards the good estate of the kingdom of Ireland than to procure the king to be well served in the eminent places of Law and Justice; I shall therefore name unto you for the Attorney's place there, or for the Solicitor's place, if the now Solicitor shall go up, a gentleman of mine own breeding and framing, Mr. Edward Wrytington, of Gray's Inn; he is born to eight hundred pound a year; he is the eldest son of a most severe justicer amongst the recusants of Lancashire, and a man most able for law and speech, and by me trained in the king's causes. My Lord Deputy by my description is much in love with the man. I hear my Lord of Canterbury and Sir Thomas Lake should name one Sir John Bear and some other mean men. This man I commend upon my credit for the good of his Majesty's service. God ever preserve and prosper you. I rest
Your most devoted and most bounden servant,
Fr. Bacon
