"Mr. Admall,
"I understand by Mr. Mangay, my deputy at Leeds for the West
Riding, that you contemn my lawfull autority of Norroy King of
Arms, and have done and will doe as you say, things relating to
heraldry, contrary to my prohibition, &c.; these are therefore
to acquaint you, that if you continue in the same mind and will
usurp on my office, I intend to make you sensible of the wrong
you doe me in my office, by taking out process against you, and
making you pay for your transgression. I shall give you no hard
words, but shal be as good as my word if there is law in England
to restrain you; so chose whether you will due to me good or
evill; you shall find me according your friend or open enemy.
"PETER LA NEVE, Norroy.
"College of Arms, in London,
"28th May, 1719."
