England; & now y:t you have beene pleased to furnish us w:th some pap: (though not withstanding its largenesse, is unfitt for y:t purpose) yo:r Commands for their transcribeing shall bee observed by y:e writer, whoos silligence to effect itt w:th all Convenyent speed shall bee Constantly Imployed & according to o:r promiss in p:r Grall, I hope tymely Enough to proceed on y:e Hopewell, y:e former omission being as little my fault, as shall bee y:e future, if y:e ?Agene or beginns over art not to my prejudice, for w:ch I hope somewhere to have Justice, & satisfaction, but all in Due tyme.
That yo:r Worp:e was pleased to accept of my hearty desires of y:e Continuance yo:r prosperity w:ch I shall allwayes pray for, I am by all opportunities oblidged to renew my thankefullnesse as for y.e takeing notice of my sufferings in Grall more especially for soo good a Cause as yy:e Hon:ble Comp:as Interest w:ch to y.e Utmost of my power I shall ever study to Improve, though y:e reward deferred X Disappoint mee at last.
My debt to yo:r deceased Brother M:r Christ:r & now demand:d by yo:r Worp:e I hoped M:r Gray had satisfied & not w:thstanding hee w:th M:r Streyn:m have acquainted yo:r worp:e y:e Contrary, yett from neither of then I reced a lyne to y:t purpose, & if I weare not assured M:r Gray had more effects of mine (though undisposed off) then, I would have satisfied said summ: I should have for boren to hanve charged him therew:th, w:ch since hee thought good to refuse, I herew:th give my lre of advise to M:r Hen: gary. 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 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.
If y:e Allmighty Continew health, w:ch to his praise att present
