My inestimable Jewell,
IF the fumes of those corrosives you gave me last night from other hands, had not been quali∣fied with the sweet odors of your own cordialls, I had (unfeignedly speaking) wholly sacrifiz'd the ensuing night to the vigils of a disquiet mind; But as your goodnesse had not the will onely, but the power to raise mee from a hell of tormenting thoughts, to a Paradise of
expected comfort, so does it multiply my endeared affections, which no misfortune shall have power to alienate, nor shall any thing but death deter∣mine. I am with much sollicitude setting all my imaginations upon the tenter, in order to the re∣movall of those Rocks, which seem (and but seem) to threaten Shipwrack to our approaching happi∣ness, whereto your utmost contribution is (by all the ties of true love) most earnestly implored, to∣gether with the continuance of him in your best thoughts, who is
Your own, beyond ex∣presses, T.B.
