I did vnderstand by goodman Brackett, after I came to my lodginge, that your worship had sent to speake with mee but it was then to late to trouble your worship this morninge I came downe and perceiuinge your worship to be busie with soombody in the hall and soe durst not attempt to coome in, but if your worships will be to speake with mee I shall attend your worship in the eueninge, or at your best leasure. otherwise if my coominge be offensiue to any if your worship please to write a woord or two of your mind I shall accordinge therto so doe as god shall helpe mee whether to answer any obiection: or if it be to hasten my departure. I am determyned suddenly to depart by gods helpe; thought yet I know not which way to turne my foote, I doe resolue god willing not to offend that way. I was not well and thoroughly whole which was the reason I went noe sooner,2 and soe the Lord your god foreuer be with you and yours, and send you such as may be accordinge to his hart and yours to follow all your occasions, who alsoe in his time, I am confident, will shew not only your worship but other of his servants, that I am cleare in the thinge wherof I am accused to wronge your worship if not it is my coomfort that the Lord knoweth it and this I leaue as the last woord for ought I know, that euer I shall speake or write to your worship (it is in gods brest what shall bee) that besied my owne conscyence god which is much greter, bearinge mee witnesse, that my father was neuer more deare to mee then your worship That I haue beene as faithfull to your worship in all my Improouements, as euer seruant was to his master thought I erred in the way, yett this is a truth whether you will beleeue mee or not, that neither my selfe nor any for mee to my knowledge hath perloyned any thinge from you and as I goe with an emty purse soe I thanke my god on my knees day and night that in that 253my conscience is cleare and my poore compannyon that was I know hath that to coomfort hir, whose labors together with mine, which soe much looue and faithfullnesse imployed, will speak when wee sleepe in the dust. Now agayne the God of all consolation and coomfort be with you and yours, and thought I might not labor with my hands for your worship yet with my whole hart shall I labor with god in prayer for your worship till I dy: Soomtime your worship's belooued seruant but till death yours vnfeynedly louinge, poore desolate disconsolate
