Your letter coming but late this evening immediatly before your servants were returning, I am forced to shorten these few lynes: Your charge and advise is seasonable and so exceeding vsefull, that I should be much awanting in my duty to God, and that due respect I owe vnto your self, if I should not help forward the execution of so good a work. I haue observed in my life tyme that want of prudence and providence hath occasioned the 281most of hazards that befall men in ther life. I desire that we may not preiudice the Lords care he hath had of our preservation, and our owne comforts: for the way is open and easy in my apprehension to prevent any pretended evill, if we be faythfull to attend Gods way. I heard but this day how likely the trade is to miscary, for want of care in setling of it. If you be pleased suddaynly to advise that a course may be taken by the mutuall agreement of all the plantations, and that execution may be speedy and through for the accomplishment of it, it may yet be recovered, but delay will breed a vtter and irrecoverable decay. The good Lord blesse you in your way and work: which he wisheth who is Yours in all due respect
