Bishop Levinze to Thomas Choldmondsley re: Return to Isle of Man & Anti-Catholic Defence

Source
28 June 1688

A letter from Bishop Levinze (likely Bishop of Sodor and Man) to Thomas Choldmondsley, dated 28 June 1688, discussing his imminent return to the Isle of Man. The letter requests that salaries for a schoolmaster at Ramsey and a preacher/schoolmaster at Douglas be prepared for his passage, and expresses urgent concern about a 'Seminary of Romish Priests and Jesuits' being sent to the island. The letter is dated on the eve of the trial of the Seven Bishops (29 June 1688), a crucial moment in English religious and constitutional history.
