I perceue now that I was deceaued in thinkinge you had written me one letter more then you did: for that (the contentes werof you 197imply in this letter) I did receaue. In this and with this in the other letters I haue found soe much kinde satisfaction, and love, as will binde me and I trust holde me to the returninge of all the love and seruice I am able while I live. And blessed be the Lord that sente me where I shoulde finde soe much godly simplicity and trueth mixed with fidelitye and love in soe many worthy Christian friendes, whose heartes himselfe doubteles hath specially moved, and I hope will directe that when I come I finde noe discouragemente, nor giue any.
