LOVINGE BROTHER,

Your frendly advice, least you might hereafter desist from thes kinde corses, cannot let mee leave you unrequited and go unthanked in this my letter, the only meanes that at this time stirrs up my dull spirites, not used to many letteres, especially in one day, which, least now I might offend, I have undertaken, in which I will use brevitie rather than prove unmanarilly not to write at all. Were my inventions soe ripe and apt as youres, or at least so plentiful as my inke and paper, I wold be more forward, and afforde volumes in stedd of letteres, but I have other studies where in I now intend to spend my spirites, and so have just excuse to spare my writing till thats finished; so commendinge myselfe to youre wife my sister I bid you hartely fare well.

Your everloving brother,

RICHARD OXINDEN

Middle Temple London this 14 May 1607
