THe grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, & the loue of God, and the fellowship of the holy Ghost be with you good brother in Christe, Robert Langley,* 1.1 & with all them that loue the Lord Iesus vnfainedly. Amen.

After harty commendations to you, w^t thanks for that ye did visite me a prisoner in Christ, & vnacquainted with you, to your costes, this shal be to let you knowe, that yee shall receiue from me mine examination and handling at

Lathum, and the cause of mine imprisonmēt, according as I did promise you: and this ye shal receiue by my brother or some one of the Bradshawes of Bolton w^tin this seuen night, willing you to shew the same to such faithfull mē a∣bout Manchester or els where, as you do take to be fauo∣rers of true religion, and Christes holy word, and then to deliuer it againe. And wheras you did put me in comfort, that if I did want any thing necessary vnto thys life, you with some others, would be bearers with me in this my costly and paineful affliction. I geue you most hearty thankes, and reioyce greatly in the Lord, who stirreth vp the hearts of others to be carefull for me in this my great necessitie. I thanke God, as yet I doe want nothing, and intende to be as little chargeable vnto others (sauing my mother) as I can. If I do want, I wil be bolde wyth you and others, to send for your reliefe and helpe in my neces∣sitie: desiring you in the meane while to pray for mee, and all others in the bondes of Christ: that God woulde per∣forme the thing which he hath begon in vs, that we maye with boldnesse confesse Iesus Christe, and fighte the good fight of faith.

Yours George Marsh.
