I received your lettre and doe blesse the Lorde for the continuinge of your healthe, which (through his mercye) we all likewise enioye. For your returninge home sooner, or later, I leave you to your selfe and your good freindes with whom you are: all the inconvenience of your tarrienge is that I shalbe too burdensome to them, except I may paye for 336your diet: but we shall agree for these thinges. For your Clothes, I thinke fitt you should have a newe suite and for that I will sende you vp moneye so soone as it comes to hande. I spake last weeke with my Cosin Waldegrave and in a lovinge respecte to eache others good, we are bothe at libertye. therfore if a good occasion be offered you may certifie me of it. Mr. Simondes is now with vs, but yet not certaine of his acceptinge the place, for the meanes which we can promise, whilst mr. Nicholson lives, are so smale, as he is verye doubtfull whither he maye leave so good and certaine a condition, for one that is smale and incertaine. if he refuse it, I knowe not where we can be so well in all respectes. I praye God of his mercye dispose all for the best. all things continue heere as you lefte them: the Lorde blesse direct and prosper you allwayes. this is the prayer and salutation which your grandmother, your mother and my selfe sende to you and your sister. Comende vs to your good Auntes and Cosins. Sir Nath: Barnardiston lodged with vs one night last weeke and your brother is heer still: but mr. Smith came not. If there be any Curantos or other likely newes sende it downe. so I rest Your loving father
