She affirmes that the Gentleman com∣mended to her merits the title of a good friend, and promises to assist him in his affaires.
MAdam, the Gallant you commend to me, seemes so worthy of the title you give him; and tis with so much ju∣stice you call him a good friend that in my opinion he must in∣vent some other word, more significant than this friendship, to expresse his owne, knowing him as I doe, you need not pe∣tition
me for him; it had been enough only to have given me advertisement, since he can so well expresse his affection to those that neede it, I shall en∣deavour to let him see how much I desire his affaires shold prosper. I will take as much paines, as in my own, and more care, for besides the displea∣sure I should have not to bee fortunate in his behalfe, I shold likewise suffer the misfortune, not to content you, that you may hope for all effects that lie in my power, judge onely that three puissant reasons oblige me to serve him: his owne me∣rit, the justice of his cause, and the force of your recommen∣dation, which would make me undertake a meere impossibili∣ty to shew, in doing him some small service, what I would do
for you, if I could finde any fa∣vourable occasion, to witnesse how much I am,
Madam
Your, &c.
