THough I had no newes whereof to write, and euerie day expected your letters, or rather indeed your selfe: yet was I not willing Theophilus should come to you, 〈…〉〈…〉 l••tters.

THough I had no newes whereof to write, and euerie day expected your letters, or rather indeed your selfe: yet was I not willing Theophilus should come to you, 〈…〉〈…〉 l••tters.
Determine therefore to come so soon, as you can; and make accou••t, you shall come long looked for; not only by vs, that is, by your friends, but of all men in generall. Sometimes I muse with my selfe, that you delight as much as you can, to prolong your cōming: questiōles I should haue held you excu∣sed, i•• you had no other sence, but that o•• your eies. But things heard, making as deep an impression, as those that are seene•• and being my opinion, that yo•• ought without all delay to repaire to Rome; I thought good by this, to in∣stigate you thereunto. And s••eing I haue made knowne my minde vnto you, it remaines for you to resolue in such a sort, as best stands with your wisdome. Yet I would desire you to write vn••o me, at what time we are to expect you. Farewell.
