Your last letter I received and giue you thanks for your continued loue in imparting unto us such news as you heare from Engl. What will be the issue of these sore beginnings the Lord onely knoweth, but it concerneth us deeply to be affected with them as a people that must share with them in weale and woe. The Lord in mercy so order and dispose as what is amis may be reformed, and his name may be glorified.

Concerning your acceptance of the Fiue Cows I am willing to send them and becawse the wether is so hott, the flie so busie and the woods so thick I haue agreed with Robert Waterman to bring them by water. I pray you send me a receipt under your hand for them upon the back of the note or bill I left with you. Thus with my kinde saluts to your selfe and all yours whose wellfare I desire as mine owne, with all due respects to you and them take leaue remayning Yours assured
