CHAPTER II
13/279

(3) Of the same date, Laud's order, or suggestion to the Lord Treasurer to join him in an order, to attach the goods in the Custom House accordingly.

(4) Humble Petition of Ulac to Juxon, Bishop of London, of date April 1640, explaining the transaction for which he is in trouble.

He had gone to Paris "upon the 5th of Dec.

last," and had there sold a great many copies of _Theophylact on Paul's Epistles_, the _Catena Patrum Graecorum in Jobum_, Bishop Montague's _De Vita Christi_, _Spelman's British Councils_, &c., at the same time buying a number of books to be imported into England.

Although these last had been sent off from Paris before January, "yet, by want of ships and winds, they could come no sooner"-- i.e.not till after the 13th of April, 1640, when his two years' licence for importing had expired.
