I receiued youer letters the 19 daie of Agust. by which I doe vnderstand youer singular loue to mewarde and that althou the distans of place hath seuered vs one from another: Yet I trust that neither sea nor land can braek of na diminishe our tru loue and affection one towardes each other which hath euer bene and I trust that the sone shall cease hir corse before our loue shall be abolished: and as we doe thus loue one an other, how vnfaniedly shold we loue god for his sonne Jesus Christe he loued vs when we weare enimies not breathren How, how I saie shold we loue him: let vs take heede that we lose not our first loue as laodicea did, or begin well with the galatians but shold not goe on well, but shold haue cause for to feare with the Apostell least we weare turned from god: and I hope mountaines or hills shold soner be cast into the sea, then that we shold lose our first loue: Let vs follo the thing which Solomon sayth in his Booke Remember thy creater in the daies of thy youth before the evil daies come let vs do as Esaie the proffit sayth Wash you mak you cleane, Turne you from your euill waies, and thow youer sines weare as crimsin yet will I mak them as snow if we belong to god: god sayth the keeper of Israell nether slumbereth or sleepeth yet god will haue his to suffer afflictions euin as the church is alowed for to mak vs fitt: but I shall forget to wright to you of the things which I haue to wright: for as concerning your wrighting to me about my going to bury: I am not yet gone thither but I purpose by gods grace for to goe about next Ester it may be soner or later: Abraham Caly3 is not as yet gone to cambridg but he was admitted at ester he is of St. Johns colledge and he purpos to goe the next spring all our friends here about are in good helth

Thus desiring you for to writ to me of your welfare and of your frends I rest Your brother in all loue to command
