A proposition [by the gentlemen of Beaumaris] that Gen. Mytton be solicited as follows,

(1) To write an answer to their letter of submission from Llangefni. (2) To grant their desires mentioned in the fifth and sixth propositions. There are not many strangers left except the gentlemen in the castle, and these are provided for by their own treaty. (3) That the castle may remain in the constable's hands as formerly, or if Gen. Mytton approve not of him, let it be put in the hands of some other gentleman of quality and estate in the county.

A particular of the chantry rents in Denbighshire due to the King,

There is one entry for Flintshire: 'Wm. Price of Vaynol, for the late house of John Lloyd, Register in St Asaph, where he kept the records of the Consistory Court there, 6s. 8d.' The parishes enumerated in Denbighshire are: Henllan, Llansannan, Llanrhaiadr, Abergele, Eglwysfach, Llanyfydd, Llanfair, Ruabon, Llansilin, Llanidan, and St Winifred's chapel in Gwytherin. There is a reference to Gabriel Parry, BD, vicar of Abergele [1613-1653].

A curious sermon,

Certain men of Prisiall [Preesall, Lancashire], returning from an ale-house and meeting a parson who had lately made a sermon against drunkards, calling them malt-worms, compelled him to preach a sermon on malt. The sermon which follows is on the evils of drink, and is written in the form of an acrostic on the word 'malt'. Dated at Gwydir. Note. This is a variant of the 'Sermon on Malt' said to be by John Dod (?1549-1645). See DNB, vol. xv. There is a slightly different version, with a Welsh translation, in 'Cydymaith diddan' (1766).
