SIR,
I should be sorry for your departure towards our Royal Mistress, before some short meeting at least between us: for I have much discourse to un∣lade in your honest brest; and I can tell you, vve had need lay up discourse safely; vvhich I hope you vvill take for some excuse of my seldome vvri∣ting unto you: for I suspect a certain natural fr•…•…e∣dom in mine own Pen.
In the Scottish Affairs, it is one mystery, that we know not what to believe. Only this we can say, That there is nothing to be praised in it on their part; and I could wish, there were as little to be feared on ours. Deus operatur omnia suaviter: And to his Power and Mercy vve must leave our selves.
Your ever faithful poor Friend, H. WOTTON.
From the Colledge April 17. 1639.
Sir, My Coach-man is yet crasie, from a late great sickness; but if it please you to specifie the time of your conveniency, my Geldin shall vvait upon you at Branford; A poinct nommé.
