74 - 11 Dec. To Sir William Boswell

Summary

Salutem in Christo

Worthy Sir.

I thanke you for all your love and respects to me and the great expressions which your Letters make of them, all which I presume are very harty and reall, and I pray be confident I shall be as ready to doe you all the Service I can, as any other Freind you have in Court.

Mr Secretary Cooke imparted unto me the Letters which you sent unto him, and I thanke you very hartily for the care which by them I see you have taken for the Church. I hope his Majesty will not loose the opportunity which he now hath of setling conformity amonge the Merchants at Delft. And this assure your self, Mr Forbes shall never come thither againe, unless he will conforme himself in all thinges, which I knowe he will not doe, at least in that place. I pray have an Eye what become's of Mr Damport, and let me hear of it.

I have receyved the Booke you sent me, and I thank you for yt alsoe, but I had one of them before, sent me by Vossius, whose Sonne I thinke translated it. If it be your happiness to see Vossius, I pray commend me to him, and tell him, it is onely the multitude of my busynes that make's my penne soe slowe, else he had heard from me before this tyme. Soe wishing you happy success in your affaires, I leave you to Gods grace and rest.

Your very lovinge Freind
