I will now only add my most hearty Thanks for all your Favours, particularly for the Piece of Gold I Received inclosed in your last Letter; and had some others of my Relations proved as kind to me as your self, or had I in my own Countrey met with encouragement any way sutable to my Endeavours, I had not in this Passion shaken hands with it. But now I am in hast to be gone, yet will for ever remain,

Dearest Cousin!
Your assured, Faithful Friend,
and most Humble Servant.
Dated at Dover the Tenth
day of January, 1680/1.
