Salutem in Christo.
Worthy Sir.
I have long had itt in my Thoughts to speake with you about S. Paules Church; But the busines of these two last Termes hath lyen so heavy upon mee, that it left mee noe Leisure to speake seriously to you about it; And to speake only in a sudden, and Cursory way with you, I did not hold any way fitting, or proportionable either to my owne Desyres, or the Noblenes of your Disposition to Workes of that Nature. The Truth is, God hath blest you with a Great fortune, and you live in a Noble, and Generous way with it. And therefore I would heartily pray you, to Open your hand freely to this Magnificent Worke, the Re-edifying of St. Paules Church, which God and the King have sett me upon. And because it would be too large to Expresse some Particulars, which yet I think fit you should Consider of, I should take it for a great deale of Kindnes and Respect to Mee, would you be pleased sometime to morrow morning to Come over to Lambeth and speake with mee; for I shall be gone to Croidon toward the Evening. When you come, I shall say nothing to you, but that which I hope shalbee very Honorable for you, and give your selfe Good Content. Thus not doubting but I shall see you, I leave you to Gods Blessed Protection, and rest
Your very Loving friend to serve you
