commoditie to move the K. and if this
Paper speake one word of difference, or
impatience in my name, by my troth it
lies. Onely give it leave to tell you, that
that L. whom perchance the K. may bee
pleased to heare in it, is an old and mo-

since it may bee possible that the Master
of the Rolles may a little relent this suite,

Night, and no longer, I beseech you af-
ford me a few of your late Minutes at your
own lodging, where I will wait upon you
according to any directions, which by
this Gent. or otherwise I shall receive from
you.

Your humble servant

John Donne.
