I returne hearty thanks for your declared readyness to Assist the deceased children, in thre concernes tis a worthy friendly and Christian Expression & temper, I am sory to heare that I feare the Imbroydaryes are so much out of request after so long lying; which have Offten swollowed up their prime cost, but the consernes must be Content to submit to unavoydable Remedyes, Now you have received M:r Metholds, and my order for the dispose of the Imbroydres, for y:e best price that can be obtained for them, wherein I doo not in the least question yo:r Good Care, and bee pleased to lett it be Effected with as much speed as may bee, that so if the warr with the Dutch be perioded as there is Good hopes it will this yeare, then their proseed may be returned in some Good Commodities that may a little helpe that Great Loosing Adventure, tis well if the Imbroydery’s have sustained no detierment by their sending to Agra, so great a distance from the place where M:r pearce leftthem, and saith hee Gave no Order for their sending to Agra, If it had been my Single consernes I would rather had them back for England than so to much undervalued them, but being Tulsidas there is In Valued in them they must Goo so well as they Can, unto the which the Intresed must submit, and no less thankfull to you for your paines and Care therein, Tis very certaine theya re not every mans mony, Therefore must wait till a Good Chapman present, I doo not find by M:r pearces Aco:tt sent home that the 6 peeces Gold Stuff nor 70 ?Tolas of Inamell were brought to M:r Metholds Credit, nor did I ever see a peece of Deviabouds sence M:r Methouldsdecease nor Can I say more than I have writ to Tulsidas already, for if I know how to right him I would, for they Ly as I understand at M:r perses doore to doo him right, I hope Tulsidas will have right donn him w:ch I heartily wish, the most Dreadfull
[f. 9]
Burning London y:e 2 September 66 that of 97 Parishes there is but 16 in being, and but part of them Standing, is such Lamentable Newes for poore England, with the plague & sword of late that have devoured many; our Native Countr’y is full of wasts adness and Murmarings, God give us all Grace to repent of our Sinn’s the cause of all those Evills, and then refresh us with Truth peace & health the which Good Newes I shall be glad to send to India; in the meane time my Service presented desiring God to send you health and all hapiness, to whose most Gratious protection I comit you and ever Remajne
Yo:r very affectionate ffriend
