I receiued thy most kinde Lettre, I blesse the Lord for the continuance of thy wellfare and of all our family. Thou desirest an excuse for thy breuitye, thou shalt need no other, then this, that I am forced to the like: but such Apologies are needlesse betweene vs, where there is so good assurance of the trueth of each others loue: I blesse God for thee allwayes, in that sweet comfort and content, I haue in thee: but I must breake of these discourses, though I delight much in them.
my sonnes man is come vp, but I knowe not vpon what termes, for no bodye writes a word about him. Forth may goe to Camb: now or at my returne, for all wilbe one, if he meanes not to continue there, my sonne Henry must come vp before the ende of the terme, for he can doe nothinge out of terme, but his wife needes not come.

For Whale, he hath so often broke promise with me, as I will trust him no more.
