SEeing it hath so fortuned, both a∣gainst my will, ••nd beyond expecta∣tion, that I must nece••sarily repaire to the gouernment of this Prouince. A∣mongst the multitude of my molesta∣tions,
and in my sundry cares and co∣gitations, I haue found this onely comfort, that none could haue succee∣ded you, which stands be••ter af••ected to you then my selfe: neither could I wish to haue receiued my Prouince from any man, more desirous to resigne it me disincombred, and free from all disturbance. And, if you hope also, that I bea••e the same affection towards you; vndoubtedly you shall neuer herein be deceiued. Out of our inward loue, and by y••ur g••eat humanity, I earnestly entreat you, that, wherein so∣euer you may (as in many things, it will be in y••ur power) you would be•• very care••ull of my affaires. The Se∣nate, as ••ou perceiue, commits this Prou••nce to my charge. If you leaue it me, as little encombred as you can•• I shall proceed in the course of my of∣fice. You know how farre in this yo•• may assist me. I earnestly intreate you that you will bethinke your selfe of e∣uery thing wherein you may pleasur•• me. I wo••ld vse more words abou•• this matter, but that I feare I should wrong your courtesie; and offend o•• an••ient friendship, which betweene vs, suffers no superfluous ceremonies: be∣••ides, there needs not many words in a matter that speakes sufficiently for i•• selfe. I promise you assuredly, that If I vnderstand you haue a regard to m••
proceedings, you shall finde therein, ample satisfaction, and contentment. Farewell.
