page 66 note a Blackwell first notified the new institution and his own appointment to Colleton and Charnock. They begged him to send to Rome for further information in order to satisfy their doubts as to the validity of Cardinal Cajetan's “Constitutive Letters.” On his refusal, the dissentient priests resolved to send messengers with an appeal to the Pope on their own account; and Colleton persuaded Bishop to accompany Charnock on the mission. The three following letters of Charnock refer to their preparations for the journey and their interviews with Blackwell on the subject. They are written in a very slovenly hand, and some words are illegible.
