I wrote not the last weeke, trustinge to Lewes Kedby his comminge to London, who failed and went not, and besides it was a tyme of muche businesse and distraction, which tooke vp my minde more then ordinarylye: what the carriage and issue of these late affaires hathe been in our countrye, you shall knowe by my letters to your vnckle: I made no other accompt but to haue been at London before this lettre, but it hath seemed good to the Lordes most wise providence to dispose otherwise of it, as you may know by that my lettre. Sir Nath: Barnardiston came not to Burye till Saturdaye neare noone, when all was doone, and when I was come out of towne the Lordes sent for him, but what conclusion he made with them I doe not heare.2 When you have read your vnckles 337lettre, I wish you would goe into Southwark to the marshallsea, and remember my love and service to Sir Francis Barrington,3 and acquaint him how thinges have gone in our countrye, but you must doe it in private. I prayse God we are all heere in health. Your grandmother and mother salute and blesse you. The good Lord blesse you and sanctifie you throughout, and prepare and fitt you a vessell for his kingdome, and guide vs all wisely and faithfully in the middest of the dangers and discouragementes of these declininge tymes farewell. your loving father
