Extract

My v.r. & b. sir

Being at this present in a pathmos yow cannot expect the certayne report of any fresh occurrences, yet because I did not lately write I thowght my lettres wold be welcome how meanly soever they were fraught. I receyved a comission of procuration for yow from our superior & at my coming from london which was 6. dayes agoe I sent it. I did also in my last to mr pet, intreat him to signifie unto yow that I had dealt about the money and that I found yowr cosen ready to pay it at easier tearme at the furthest, thowgh he wold presently have disbursed some part therof. but I now fear me, that it cometh too late for mr Mayny as I perceave, is arrived and hath made it over to my la. R. for mr Th. & mr Io: R. who are there with yow. and upon occasion of this I hold it fit to enforme yow, that pseudowiddr. is great with their mother and yow know how easy a matter it is for a man of sufficiency to sway with his freinds & consequently yow must think that she will incline to think favorably of what he doth. which disposition is soothed from thence. for she told me that she had lettres from thence (but wold not graunt that they were from her s.) that widdr. his boke was not censured and that they there did hold it a learned work & that much was not spoken against it etcetera.
