Madam,
I Have not so much vanity to think to make a return, worthy the honour I have recieved, nor do I bear so little justice to my own gratitude, as not to witnes my resentment, though great, yet in huge disproportion to your merit, whose vertues and goodnes I hold in equall value with those of
demi-Gods: I receive the new assurances of your Ladyships favour, as a blessing sent mee from hea∣ven, which bids me cherish it and live, since I can relish no felicity without it. Indeed (Madam) I know not what Sacrifice to offer you for such a bounty; All hearts are made tributary to your Commands; yet none with so much obligation, as that of
August.
Madam,
Your servant, E.D.
