Blessed be God, by whose prouidence and protection I am come safe to London: heer I find them all in health, and a great deale of kind welcome, onely thy companye is wantinge, which they much desire.

I doubt my brothers2 comminge to Ipswich wilbe deferred till the springe, for Mr. Hore (who should hire his howse) and he, are broken off: thus man purposeth but God disposeth: o that we could learne at length to trust his wisdome loue power etc: and cast our care vpon him, and leaue our owne carnall wisdome, feare, confidence, etc: then should it goe well with vs assuredly: then should we haue our rest in that true peace which passeth vnderstandinge: but it is our wretched infidelity that keepes good thinges from vs. Let vs therefore pray earnestly, and labour for this preatious faith, it will recompence all our cost.

For such newes as is heer this bearer can sufficiently informe you, and so may spare my labour, and besides I am hasted into the citye about my businesse. When I shall returne I cannot yet tell, but thy loue will make me lose no tyme. therefore for the present, with my brothers and sisters kind salutations to thee and to my parents to whom I commend my loue and dutye, I heartyly commende thee and our little ones and all our familye to the gratious protection and blessinge of the Lord, so I rest Thy faithfull louing husband
