from this town goes with me my brother
Sir Tho. Grimes and his Lady, and I with
them. There we dine well enough I war-
rant you, with his father-in-law, Sir Tho.
Hunt. If I keep my whole promise, I shall
Preach both forenoon and afternoon. But
I will obey your commandments for my
return. If you cannot be there by 10, do
not put your selfe upon the way: for, Sir,
you have done me more honour, then I can
be worthy of, in missing me so diligently.
I can hope to hear M. Moulin again: or ru-
minate what I have heretofore heard. The
onely misse that I shall have is of the ho-
nour of waiting upon you; which is some-
what recompensed, if thereby you take
occasion of not putting not your self to that
pain, to be more assured of the inabilities
of
Your unworthy servant

J. Donne.
