Salutem in Christo.
My very Good Lord.
I am heartily Glad to heare of your Health, and to see your Sonne safely return’d hither. And, very Glad, also to see by him That the Place, which he hath gotten in those parts, gives him soe much Content. I heartily pray your Lordship to be Confident, That in whatsoever I may farther serve him, or yourselfe, noe man shall be more ready then I shall bee.
My Lord ‘Tis true, I had a Mischance with the Horse, which I thank you, you sent mee about three yeares since. But I did not thinke, either your Lordship or your Sonne should have knowne itt. The truth is, Hee was lost in the Sleepie Disease, and I was like to have lost two or three more with him. And now I thank your Lordship you have supplyed me with another, and as your Sonne telles me, of the same Sire. I can but thanke you, and the Horse lookes extreamly well. When I have tryed him, I am sure I shall give you more Thankes; Because my Groome which hath rid him, telles me his Pace is good, and the Horse himselfe is easily borne. I see your Lordship is resolved, That I shall neither look into my Stable, nor ride upon the way, but you will give me Occasion to remember your kindnes, which, if it please God, I live, I will remember either in yourselfe or your Sonne. So to Gods protection I leave you and rest
Your Lordships very Loving frend and Brother
