IF you be in health, I am very ••lad•• I s••ould n••uer h••u•• ••hought, that you ••ad so lit••le est••••med our mutua••l loue, and th•• amit•• ••e••weene vs renued, that for a word only, you would s••eke the ruine of my brothe•• M••••ellu••; to whom some respect was du••, if not fo•• his owne sake, yet at least ••or ••he nobilitie of our
familie, & ••or the singular loue I beare, both to you, and the Common wealth. But now I both see him to be b••set with enemies; and small accompt to be made of my selfe, by him that had good reason to esteeme me. So that I, who haue charge of the Prouince, and Ar∣mie; I that am armed for your d••fence, am extreamely distrac••ed. And because you haue neither borne you as ••quitie, nor as the clemencie of our predeces∣sors required you; no maruaile thou••h hereafter you r••pent you. I did not be∣leeue, you could haue car••ied so muta∣ble a minde, towards me, and mine: And yet your iniuries cannot be of so great efficacie, as to separate me from the Common-wealth. Farewell.
