After my very harty commendations etc.

These are to lett you understand that I have call’d Mr Harrington Fellowe of your Colledge to a farther Account both of his disobedience to my former order, and of his other gross misdemeanours and lavishness of speech concerninge my selfe. I have in this whole business made it my principall Care not to putt him to extremityes either in reputation or Fortunes: wayinge well howe easie a thinge it is for a younge Man to forgett himselfe to his owne hurt especially when hee is in passion. I obteyn’d therefore of some great Lords, and those such as Mr Harrington depended most upon, to afford mee the honorable patience to heare a Breife of my whole proceedings; where Mr Harrington was able to saie nothinge for him selfe. But in conclusion (for I have not leasure to write largely) Mr Harrington did there very fairely submitt himself, and by that hath given mee such satisfaction as I am content to receave from him; and did likewise promise faithfully to give the like satisfaction when hee com’th to you, both by submittinge wholely to my Order aswell to my letter as my Instrument. And by desiringe of you Mr Warden and the Company, that whatsoever is past may be forgiven upon promise that hee will in all his future carridge shewe himselfe dutyfull and respective both to your selfe and the Fellowes without givinge just offence eyther in word or carridge. And I shall desier of you all, that upon this submission of his to mye Order, you will pass over all former Offences and shewe Mr Harrington for the future such fayre respect as the modesty of his carridge shall meritt. Soe havinge brought this troublesome Cause of yours to some Issue I wishe you all hartely well and leave you to the grace of God, ever restinge

Your very Lovinge Frend and Visitour

If the three weeks of Mr Harringtons suspension be past I would have that likewise taken of upon security given for payment of the twenty markes.
