Eastern Patriarchs and the Nonjurors, ed. Williams, 1868

27. No. 27: The Nonjurors to the Metropolitan of Thebais

MOST REVEREND LORD,

‘Tis with great Concern that we received the News of the Emperor of Russia’s Death, which has put a stop to our Affair, till we have fresh Directions from that Court. We have now by our Friend Mr Cassano sent a Letter to the Holy Synod, and another to the Great Chancellor, of which he can give your Lordship a full account. We desire that your Lordship would be pleased to inform us of the Situation of Affairs, so far as relates to the religious Negotiation between us, and shall always think ourselves happy in the Continuance of your Friendship and Favor. We commit your Lordship to the Divine Protection and shall always remain,
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 the most illustrious and most Reverend Father in Christ, and Lord, the Lord ARSENIUS, Archbishop of Thebais, our most dear Brother at Petersburgh.
