Letter from James I about the appointment of John Moseley, 1618

May 1618 for J Mosely

6 May 1618

1 sheet

A letter signed by James I, "Given under the Signet at the Pallace of Westminster", 6 May 1618. John Moseley, Doctor of Divinity, has been recommended by a petition from the City and by the Lord Privy Seal (Edward Somerset, 3rd Earl of Worcester, c1550-1628). The King requires the Dean and Chapter to admit John Moseley "into the number of actuall residentiaries . . . to partake of all . . . profitts and priviledges". The mandate ordering John Moselely's installation to a canonry and the prebend of Wilsford and Woodford, dated 1 Nov 1616, is at PR/WW/3. Presumably this was not a residentiary canonry. "Ex J Kirkham" is written in a later hand in the lower right-hand corner on the face of the document. With a summary by Penelope Rundle, Archive Volunteer (late 2010s).
