Summary

Salutem in Christo

My very Good Lord.

Your Last Letters were only an Accompt, That you had settled the Busines of the Majour of Chester; And I am very Glad ‘tis att Quiett; And hope the Deane will have more Care to Keepe Things orderly, and in peace.

My Lord All the Occasion I have for writing to you att this tyme, is to lett you Know, That to satisfye his Majesties Desires, I am once more Come under the Presse; And a Booke I here send you. I have beene faine to steale Broken tymes to make itt in. And therefore, if, when you reade itt, you finde itt a Broken Discourse, you will be the readyer to pardon both itt, and mee. And this I assure you, I doe not beleeve, That ever anie man was putt upon such a Busines with so many Busy, and Interrupted Thoughts about him. Well! Here you have it; And I am desirous some friends should see itt, since many Enemyes will. So to Gods blessed protection, I leave you, and rest

Your Lordships very Loving friend and Brother
