Good Sir, it is no Parte of my Thought 

 to feeke Wages of Iniquitie, but the Good of 

 my Kinge and Countrye. And as for my felfe, 

 if you pleafe to ufe mee, make mce the 

 Subject of your Honour, by any Imploy- 

 ment, I will achieve the befte, for I am too 

 fure, unworthye to ferve a Multitude, un- 

 lefs I bee concluded to one Head, having^ 

 receaved my deadly Taxes from them, which 

 never can quicken Lief in mee agayne. 



My Brother (the a! molt e Hope of Frends 

 livinge) is come unto me, a poore Man, that 

 will not bee taken for Bayle, and foe I knowe 

 not what other Frends to fynde to give Con- 

 tentc, if Lenytye in that Courfe be not ex- 

 tended. Soe I humblye pray your Favour 

 to mee, with a Direction of more Eafe, if it 

 may lye in your Power, and lb betake you 

 to God's Mercie, with my Prayers for your 

 Profperitie.
