Note 263 — Chapter IX

There is a curious letter from Towers, then Dean of Peterborough, dated December 30, 1633, in which he seeks to make interest with Sir John Lambe, Dean of the Arches, for the succession of the bishopric. He says he should be almost as glad to see his friend Dr. Sibthorpe in the deanery as himself in the palace. State Papers Dom., Chas. I.
