I vnderstand by Mr. Pierse that Mr. Bellingham is very very greedy for more mony who hath already taken more then hee can answer: wherefore my humble request is that you would bee pleased to suffer none at all to touch it, synce the mony is properly myne and at the Court wee hope to bee all there; Mr. Pierse hath also promised to vndertake for all the Owners there, and I for those here, being iust halfe in eyther place and so to issue all.

I am bold besides to intreat you to let your seruant by your order to take all Mr. Lapthornes goods into your hands, that were at the ordinary, his trunke and other things are at your house already, and to pay 3li to the Master for passage, and what the ordinary demaunds, and to keepe all his goods safe because hee wholy belonged to mee, and my brother who sent the 72man ouer to mee vpon my letter will expect my faithfulnes. Thus making euer bold with you I rest Yours in all due respects and vtmost seruice

I humblie thanck you for your last Loving Lettre. I will not at present reply any thinge. It is well that your selfe and others of Gods Children with you are satisfyed in that dismission. I confesse I yet ame not, but more heereafter of this particular. At present I ame bould to entreate your fauour in a case of Mr. Bishopps the bearer heereof. It is a case of conscience. I haue laboured to giue him the best satisfaccion I can but it seemes hee is not satisfyed. I hope that hee is one truely fearing God and therefore I desire much (if God see it good) hee may be satisfyed in his scruples and feares: It concerne chieflie the Magestracie, concerninge their power in matters of Gods Worshipp. I leaue him to state the question, That you may the better satisfie him and the better understand him. As also if you please to take in the helpe of Mr. Cotton whom hee doeth much deseruedly reverence, as also your good Pastor That at least hee may be convinced of his error. Kindnes doeth much prevail with him. This Journey now into the bay is of purpose to seeke light as hee saith. The lord giue him light, if it be his will: Hee is come of from his former Judgment, That sanctification is not an euidence of our good estate: It may be hee may be brought of of this also: This being all at present but my true seruice to your selfe and dearest yoakefellow, I Commend you to the blessed protection of the Almighty and rest Yours euer
