I cannot saye it is quite gone, but I prayse God, it is so well abated, as I hope to be abroad againe ouer a fewe dayes (if God will.) I am heere amonge such louinge freindes, as will suffer me to want nothinge, especially the Lo: beinge pleased to be with me allso in the favour and light of his countenance, yet were it not winter, I could want thee, but (my sweet wife) haue a little more patience and God will restore me to thee soone: I must perswade, and chardge thee not to thinke of comminge vp, for, if it should befall thee other wise then well, it would be worse to me then all this, and much more. writinge is now wearinesse, I leaue thee to supply all duty loue etc. praye for me, the Lo: blesse thee and all ours. I kisse thee farewell
