I receiued yours of the 15. I am sory to hear matters are so ill, but it is easier born att distance, then in near relation. I hope it will shortlye appeare more euidently whear the mallady lyes, an the discouerers to appear more inocent. The good lord assist his poor seruants in his owne worke, for the enemy is still vigilant to peruert and blemish by one means or other, what is of god.

Your good sister2 is gone to visit the bay and it seems was more willinge boston should haue her brauery then poor salem, but was at present a little preuented, but I doupt not but hauinge possesion she maye and will in short time attayne her ends, and why she should be molested in it is much disputed and Mr. Peters much censured and condemned in crosinge his deed to her, but whilst men make our lawes they are fitest to jugd of them. but certaynly the woman is daungerously affected, and they that haue experience will finde noe less. I hear she hath an intent to present my sister with a gowne, and tould the party she heard her former present was acsepted, therefore if she could giue, she would try her power to sell. I hope some piggions are come to your hands and more had bin sent if I had had a larger thinge to put them in, but if you pleas to return the cage it shall be filld agayne. so with my best seruis to my good sister and cosens all, I rest yours to command
