The Right Reverend Richard Terrick1
Lord Bishop of London
My Lord
As your Lordship expressed your desire to receive Testimony from
me of such young Gentlemen as went over to England from this Colony,
with a view to enter into Holy Orders, I am to present to you Mr.
Burgess and Mr. Johnston2 for Ordination.
The inclosed Letter from Mr. Burgess’s Father3 (a Clergyman of
worth and much respected) will give you the truest picture of the
Characters of these two young Candidates. I must therefore request that
your Lordship will be graciously pleased to grant them Ordination
Orders and obtain for them Queen Anns Bounty and such other
Indulgence as in your known Humanity shall be agreeable to you.
I am My Lord with the utmost Esteem and Respect
Your Lordships
much obliged, and
most Obedient Servant
Wm. Tryon
To His Grace of London
