26. No. 26: The Nonjurors to the High Chancellor of Russia

MY LORD,

The Affair of the Union between the two Churches having been carried on hitherto under your Lordship’s Countenance and Protection, and lying now in Suspence upon the much lamented Death of the Great Emperor of Russia, we take the Liberty of applying ourselves to your Lordship, both to condole so great a Misfortune, and also congratulate her present Majesty’s Accession, upon whose pleasure the further progress of this Matter depends. We beg leave to recommend to your Lordship’s Favor Mr Cassano, the Bearer, of whose fidelity and diligence we have had long Experience, and are with great Respect,
My Lord,
Your Lordship’s most humble and
obedient Servants,

ARCHIBALDUS Scoto-Britanniæ Episcopus.

JEREMIAS Primus Anglo-Britanniæ Episcopus.

JOHANNES Anglo-Britanniæ Episcopus.

April 11th, 1725.

To his Excellency the Lord Great Chancellor at Petersburgh.
