And loving Brother this Primer owned by Benjamin Keach as the
Author and bought by my man George Chilton for five pence of
Henry Keach of Stableford Mill neare me, a miller; who then sayd
that his brother Benjamin Keach is author of it, and that there
are fiveteene hundred of them printed. This Benjamin Keach is a
Tayler, and one that is a teacher in this new fangled way, and
lives at Winslow a market towne in Buckinghamshire. Pray take some
speedie course to acquaint my Lord Archbishop his grace with it,
whereby his authoritie may issue forth that ye impression may be
seized upon before they be much more dispersed to ye poysoining of
people; they contayning (as I conceive) factious, schismaticall,
and hereticall matter. Some are scattered in my parish, and
perchance in noe place sooner, because he hath a sister here and
some others of his gang, two whereof I have bought up. Pray let
me have your speedie account of it. I doubt not but it will be
taken as acceptable service to God's Church, and beleeve it a very
thankefull obligement to

and tythes from them, and dispose of them for the defence and benefit
of the kingdom, and the relief of the poor, proved by the laws and
practices of twenty kings of England, Judah, and France, and also by
120 authors besides, dedicated to the king's most excellent Majesty."
