I cannot let so many dayes and nights passe without speaking with you, and now I am at it I haue little to say but that I long to haue your 335ioyes and peace to continue full; and that much of my comfort is wrapt vp in yours. A little newes I had out of a late letter come to hand out of Eng: which you may tell the Gouernour from me to make him laugh viz: that there was a fast in Eng: and at Bristow in one Church whilst they were preaching a great Bull broke into the churchyard and a company of boyes followed him with squibs, the people within were taken vp before with thoughts that the papists that day would rise, and had warding all the Country ouer; the Bull and the squibs so wrought vpon their melancholy braynes that one cryes out if I perish Ile perish here, another swounds away, another they are come they are come Mr. Prichard the preachers wife cryes to her husband in the pulpit, come downe (husband) come downe the tyme is come, and much of this. At Taunton brimstone was smelt in the church and such another Combustion as when Trestrams boy gote into the fryars Cools. In hast I rest Yours and euer so
