HENRY OXINDEN OF DEANE TO HENRY OF BARHAM

GOOD COZEN,

I confesse to have received a letter from you long since wherein your kind love proferd and solid consell given is kindly embrac'd and diligently striv'd to follow. Yet I desire you that you would not take ill this my long silence, my capacitie being altogether insufficient to answere you accordingly to that Stile, which hath caused this lettslip. But yett I resolv'd to writt these lines least you should thinke that I slight your good consell, and that I should lett slip this oportunity it would demonstrate ingratitude, though your desert and my love bindes me to performe more service then consisteth in the writting of a few freindly and unpolished lines. I participat greatly in your joy in that you are so well marred (sic). Pray present my love and service to my ant and my cosin your wife, and to the rest of my cosins. I leave you to Heaven's prtotections and remayne for ever

Your affectionat loving cozen

HEN: OXINDEN
