¶A letter of Thomas Haukes to M. Clement Throgmorton.

* 1.1GRace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ, be with you, & assist you in al your thoghts words, and works, that he in all things as most woorthy, may be glorified, and that the blessing of Abraham may be poured plen∣teously on you and all your posteritie.

Where as the loue of God hath mooued you to require my sonne to be brought vp before your eyes, & the selfe same loue hath also mooued me in like case to leaue hym in your hands, as vnto a father in myne absence, I shall require you in Gods behalf according to your promise, that ye will see hym brought vp in the feare of the Lord, and instructed in the knowledge of his holy word, that he may thereby learne to leaue the euill and know the good, and alwayes be pricked forward with fatherly instructions to folow my footsteps, that as almighty God hath made me wor∣thy through his speciall grace to worke his will in obedience, he may learne to follow me his father in the like, to gods honor and prayse: And this I require you in Gods behalfe to fulfill or cause to be fulfilled, as ye before the liuing God will make aunswer for the same. I haue left for the child certaine bookes which shall be deliuered vnto you, wherein his instruction and saluation lieth, if he learne and practise the same. And thus, most humbly besee∣ching you once agayne, to be as good vnto him as your promise was to me, that is, to be a father, & a wall of defence vnto hym in all troubles, I leaue him in your hand through the Lord Iesu, and desire him to blesse both him & you according to his good pro∣mise: & all that good which ye shal do vnto him, I shal most har∣tily desire the euerlasting God to recompence vnto you in hys kingdome, where I hope to meete both him and you among all Gods elect. To which God be all praise, honor and glory. Amen.

Yours and all mens in Christ Iesu, Tho. Haukes.
