But in his absence to M:r W:m Jesson, to cleare said acco:t w:th ao:r Worp:e or whom you shall appoint, allowing full & usual Interest, w:ch being but reason, I never refused, but Interest on Interest, for money never demand:d, I thought unreasonable, as doe at present; however to yo:r Worp:e in y:t particulaer shall referr mee, desireing when made good, my Bill may bee rendred to those y:t pay itt, for theire discharge, & a further acknowledgm:t from y:e Receivers for myne, to secure mee from all future pretences, If any should happen.

As concerning y.e small scretors I recd of M.r Jn:e Lambton[3] w:ch were onely 22: & not 25: yo:r Worp:e mentions, I disposed of them at his request at M:a 3: p ?pecs w:ch if yo:le finde mee not Charged w:th in his Bookes (as hath in his acco:tt) I shall willingly allow it againe though I hope (as requested in my last) through yo:r Worp:s favour by M:r lambton, I shall not bee a looser at last.
