thinke not though I haue bin in an error a long time, I am hardned in it, or intend to make my silence as perpetuall as your fauors haue bin largely bestowed. I confesse they weere soe great that they put my shamefast expraession soe much out of countenance that it can scarce recouer itts blushinge, much lesse growne soe praesumptuous as to conceiue that it can giue the least satisfaction, yet least you shold thinke this distance shold make mee forget my obligation, I nowe wright and offer the due deuotion of a loyall hart to your imbraces who shall bee neuer truly happy longer then you please to loue him. Your most obedient nephew
