MISCELLANEOUS LETTERS. 101 



To Mr. Cawfeilde.* 

 Sir, 



I made full account to have seen you here this reading, 

 but your neither coming nor sending the interr. as you un 

 dertook, I may perceive f of a wonder. And you know super 

 mirari caperunt philosophari. The redemption of both 

 these consisteth in the vouchsafing of your coming up 

 now, as soon as you conveniently can ; for now is the time 

 of conference and counsel. Besides, if the course of the 

 court be held super interrogat. judicis, then must the interr.

 And so, &c. Your Friend particularly.

 acknowledgments. I send my letter open, which I pray seal 

 and deliver. Particulars I would not touch. 



Your most affectionate and assured Friend, 



FR. ST. ALBAN. 



To my Lord Montjoye.J 

 My very good Lord, 



Finding by my last going to my lodge at Twickenham, 

 and tossing over my papers, somewhat that I thought 

 might like you, I had neither leisure to perfect them, nor 

 the patience to expect leisure; so desirous I was to make 

 demonstration of my honour and love towards you, and to 

 increase your good love towards me. And I would not 

 have your lordship conceive, though it be my manner and 

 rule to keep state in contemplative matters, si quis venerit 

 nomine suo, eum recipietis, that I think so well of the col-
