met once; and upon Saterday next there
will be a fuller meeting, and an entrance in-
to the businesse, upon which, much, very
much in consequence, depends. Of my L.
of Donc. we are only assured, that he is in a
good way of convalescence; but of any
audience nothing yet. Slacken not your
hold of my L. Treasurer, for I have been
told that you are in his care. I send you a
Copy of that Sermon, but it is not my co-
py, which I thought my L. of South-hampton
would have sent me backe. This you must
be pleased to let me have again, for I borrow
it: for the other, I will pretermit no time
to write it; though in good faith, I have
half forgot it. If in any letter I leave out the
name of the La. Hunt. or La. Burdell, or
your daughters, tell them, that I named
them. I take the falshood upon me; for I
intend it very really, and very humbly,
where I am good for any thing in any of
their services. Our blessed Saviour continue
and enlarge his blessing to you all, Amen.
Your humble servant in Chr. Jes.
