Summary

Salutem in Christo

My very Good Lord.

I am heartily glad you have receaved both my Letters. And that they gave you so Good Content. I assure you, they were heartily written, and I shall ever, while I lyve, make good what was exprest in them. And for Mr Griffith I shall, at his Returne, not faile to give him satisfaction in that which you desyre. And make him know that you stand as well Affected to him, as e’re you did.

I am sorry to heare, that Mr Griffith hath beene so ill; and the rather; Because he did himselfe that Harme by Riding late after he had beene aboute my Busynes. But I am glad to heare from you withall, that the Danger of his Cold is over, and that he purposes shortly to be in London, whither (God willing) he shall be as welcome, as I can make him; And shall know, how Carefully you have written to mee Concerning him. And truly my Lord I doe so far esteeme of his Love, and Fidelity to mee, and his Care in the mannageing of what soever I have committed to him, as that it troubles me not a little, that I am not able to doe for him, as I would. For he desyres some Place about the King, or the Prince, which being out of my way, I have not hitherto been able to effect for him. Thogh where I was able, I was never wanting, nore ever will bee.

As for Mr Hyat, I thank Mr Griffith heartily for the Paynes he tooke with him. And ‘tis noe matter now for his inconstancye. For unlesse I could proove a cleerer Title for the King, there will be noe meddling with it. For most Certayne it is, that Sir Robert Huddlestone hath (as I formerly writt) sold the Inheritance of the Patronage.

The Letter, which I had formerly written to Sir Robert Huddlestone, as thinking he had dwelt in those parts, I have receaved. I pray your Lordship Thank Mr Griffith for his Care in that behalfe.
