GOod
brother
:
I
blesse
God
that
yet
I
see
your
hand
writing
:
by
which
his
mercy
appeareth
,
in
sparing
you
and
yours
,
among
Thowsands
that
fall
on
your
right
hand
and
on
your
left
,
in
this
heauie
visitation
of
Gods
displeasure
:
which
goodnes
of
his
in
yet
sparing
you
;
my
hope
is
you
esteeme
according
to
the
worth
thereof
,
and
make
that
holy
use
of
the
same
which
God
expects
,
and
his
Ministers
every
where
with
earnestnesse
call
vpon
vs
all
for
:
namely
,
to
search
and
try
our
hearts
and
waies
,
and
to
turne
from
all
our
sins
of
heart
and
life
,
and
to
renew
our
vowes
of
better
obedience
for
time
to
come
.
The
further
meditations
of
these
most
necessarie
things
,
I
commend
to
your
most
serious
thoughts
,
as
things
most
precious
and
requisite
for
these
times
:
in
which
most
weighty
businesse
,
I
as
your
vnfained
louing
sister
shall
,
as
I
am
able
,
continually
pray
God
to
assist
you
,
and
in
the
performance
of
that
which
may
in
this
kind
bee
acceptable
in
his
sight
,
in
Iesus
Christ
:
As
also
that
hee
would
,
as
it
may
stand
with
his
Glory
,
spare
you
in
this
common
Visitation
:
However
,
to
sanctifie
it
,
both
in
the
feare
of
it
,
or
inflicting
of
it
:
so
as
euery
way
his
fauour
may
be
discerned
,
to
the
peace
and
comfort
of
your
soule
:
To
which
end
,
the
All-sufficient
protection
of
the
Almightie
in
mercy
and
goodnesse
be
euer
vouchsafed
vnto
you
and
all
yours
:
And
let
my
sister
,
your
wife
,
know
in
particular
that
in
all
good
wishes
I
remember
her
equall
with
your selfe
;
and
must
to
you
both
rest
a
great
debtor
for
much
loue
.
For
vs
here
(
in
the
Country
,
where
I
now
am
)
I
praise
God
we
are
all
in
bodily
health
:
my selfe
and
company
that
parted
from
you
,
came
hither
safe
on
Saturday
at
three
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
;
hauing
ridden
all
night
,
in
regard
that
we
could
not
bee
lodged
at
D.
where
we
thought
to
haue
lyen
:
of
which
you
may
heare
more
hereafter
:
But
besides
our selues
we
had
very
good
company
,
which
made
our
nights
trauell
very
pleasant
to
vs
.
Brother
,
my
brothers
and
sisters
here
doe
all
wish
you
well
,
and
pray
for
you
and
yours
;
especially
our
deare
mother
,
who
wisheth
it
could
bee
any
wayes
conuenient
that
you
and
yours
,
I
meane
your
wife
,
were
here
:
though
indeed
my
fathers
house
is
already
very
full
;
howeuer
,
you
want
not
our
aged
Parents
prayers
and
blessing
,
which
they
send
you
,
and
their
loue
to
your
wife
;
and
our
good
mother
beseecheth
you
both
with
teares
to
loue
and
cherish
each
other
in
the
Lord
,
that
whatsoeuer
hand
of
his
may
befall
you
:
yet
it
may
bee
sweetned
by
your
mutuall
vndergoing
it
with
patience
and
comfort
:
and
so
once
more
I
beseech
the
Lord
to
stablish
your
hearts
in
his
feare
:
And
with
you
to
bee
good
to
your
afflicted
Citie
,
and
purge
it
by
this
Visitation
:
and
prepare
vs
here
in
C.
for
the
like
:
for
it
is
to
bee
feared
wee
may
not
long
scape
:
Wee
had
here
on
Wednesday
last
the
Fast
kept
publikely
as
in
London
:
and
before
,
I
did
pertake
with
M.
F.
in
what
he
did
priuately
for
preparation
to
the
publike
Exercises
.
Good
brother
,
commend
mee
to
all
your
neighbours
and
friends
that
I
know
,
which
you
thinke
will
accept
the
same
from
mee
:
by
name
M.
D.
and
his
wife
,
M.
L.
and
his
,
&c.
Thus
haue
I
seamblingly
imparted
vnto
you
,
in
hast
,
my
mind
,
and
how
things
are
with
vs
here
:
Accept
all
in
good
will
,
and
whiles
we
liue
let
vs
loue
;
that
come
life
or
death
we
may
bee
so
linked
that
death
may
not
separate
vs
:
And
whiles
God
spares
you
,
let
me
I
pray
see
your
hand
to
my selfe
;
which
be
assured
I
will
take
kindly
:
commend
mee
to
little
S.
for
whose
mothers
death
,
and
that
further
Visitation
I
am
not
vnsensible
,
in
regard
of
my
sister
your
wife
:
but
she
is
discreet
;
whom
with
your selfe
once
againe
I
commit
to
Gods
mercy
.
