Good Ned -I beceach the Lord to blles you with those choys bllesings of his Spirit, which none but his deare ellect are partakers of ; that so you may taste that sweetness in Gods saruis which indeed is in it: but the men of this world can not perseaue it. Thinke it not strange, if I tell you, I think it longe sence I hard from you ; but my hope is that you are well, and my prayers are that you may be so. As you say you haue founde your tutor kinde and carefull of you, so I hope he will be still. If you wante any thinge, let me knowe it. On Saterday last I hard from your aunte Pelham: shee and all hers are well. I beleeue you haue all the inteligence of the Quene mothers arrivall and entertainement, thearefore I will omite it. Your father, I thanke God, is well ; and for meself, I haue not yet shaked off my coold. Your brother Roberd by Gods mercy to him has bine yet free from his fitts, and goos to scoule carefully; and I hope he is now so wise to see his stubborneness was not the way to gain any thinge but re- proufe.
