If my meanes coulde in any measure equall the height of my desire, I shoulde be studious to expresse myselfe reallie thanckfull for the great respecte which I have alwaies founde in your selfe and familie: I praie God give mee grace to walke woorthie of your Love; which I have founde so constant, as I have greatlie marvailed why you shoulde bestowe so great Love of one of so smale merite. It is God his mercie unto me, to whom I doe desire to be thanckefull as the first, and to your selfe as the seconde. As for many, so this last token of your great love unto me, which I cannot any waie requight, neither are woordes of force to discharge so great a dett, as I doe, and ever will acknowledge deservedly due unto you. And although, good uncle, I do not saie, have patience and I will paie, yet I doe desire that in your Love you woulde be pleased to accepte of this verball acknowledgement, till a more actuall performance discharge somme parte of that which I owe. I have read with great comforte a true description of the gratious life and blessed deathe of your woorthie sister.2 I doute not but her praires have, and will be effectuall to drawe goddes blessinges uppon her posteritie: I praie God perfitt his woorke of grace, where it is begunne in any of us: that wee maye walke as shee hathe given us an example. Thus, good uncle, fearinge my scribblinge lynes wilbe troublesome in the readinge, with my best affection I committ you to God: Desiring him to continue his aboundant grace unto you; that you may bee as the light that shyneth more unto the perfitt daie: To whose protection I commit our soules: and rest ever, your lovinge thoughe unwoorthie neece,
