Salutem in Christo
Sir.
I have receaved two letters from you. In the first of which you mention the Catalogue sent to Sir William Boswell of Dr Elichmans Arabic bookes. And I beleeve I shall not trouble them much, but what I doe, shall bee by Sir William Boswell. And I thanke you for the two little Bookes you sent mee, especially that of Grotius.
Your second Letters give mee assurance that Vothier is come into those parts. And I doe not wonder much that he gave the Queene little satisfaction, when hee preach’d before Her. For hee is a very silly dry fellow; and yett as proud as that Faction uses to make ignorant men. Hee's Beneficed in Cheape-side, and was called into the High Commission for refusing the Oath Ex Officio; which he declamed against, and boldly undertooke to Answere that which Bishop Andrewes had written concerning itt. Afterwards he submitted himselfe, and tooke the Oath: and yett agen after that, slipt away into the Low Countryes, where (itt seemes) hee now is.
I am sorry Monsieur Le Maire hath noe better successe about the publication of the Proclamation against printing of Libells. But bee itt as it may. For these are only to lett you know that both your Letters came safe to my hands. Soe to Gods blessed protection I leave you and rest
Your very Lovinge friend
