114 LETTERS FROM THE RESUSCITATIO. 



letter I send you a copy, that you may know what you carry; 

 and may take of Mr. Matthew the letter itself; if you 

 pleased to undertake the delivery. Lastly, I do commend

 Bishop of Durham, and my very good friend ; assuring you 

 that any courtesy, you shall use towards him, you shall use 

 to a very worthy young gentleman, and one, I know, whose 

 acquaintance you will much esteem. And so I ever continue.
