except when Butler sends a desperate Pati-
ent in a Consumption thither for good aire,
which is an ill errand now. Besides that I
could not well come till now, (for there
are very few dayes past, since I took Orders)
there can be no losse in my absence except
when I come, my Lord should have there-
by the lesse latitude, to procure the Kings
Letters to Cambridge. I beseech you there-
fore, take some occasion to refresh that
businesse to his Lordship, by presenting
my name, and purpose of comming very
shortly: and be content to receive me, who
have been ever your servant, to the additi-
on of
Your poor Chaplaine
27 January.
J. Donne.
