Extract

My very Reverend good s.r upon occasion of some of yours I did scrible over a lettre of thankgiving to your monsignor. but afterwards it was cast by for a long tyme, and finding it by chance of late among other papers, I read it over, and resolved to send it, for thowgh there be errours in it, yet owr difficulties, the distance between yow & us, the want of particuler information and such life [sic for ‘like’] may excuse them, at the least he will see that wee take notice of his worth & favours to us. yow may doe well hereafter both to send us a copie of ther titles & stile which wee must use in our lettres to those to whom we write as also to enforme us of their states in perticuler for mr coll. & I did differ in owr opinions about this monsignor your freind. because he thinketh that he is noe cleargy man, I mean noe p. and he alleaged his reasons for it, by which yow may see how ignorant wee are.
