¶Another letter of Maister Bradford, to father Traues.

THe plentifull grace of God the father, through our on∣ly maister and Lord Iesus Christ, encrease in vs daily to the glory of his name, Amen.

Forasmuch as I haue often written to you good father Traues, and yet haue not once heard from you sithens Pentecost. I can not now bee so bolde either in writing much or often as I would haue bene: Howbeit, this I say, that I much meruaile, that I heare not from you: but not so, for I am so wretched a sinner, that the Lordes spi∣rite I am certaine doth not mooue you to write to me, yet for Gods sake pray for me, and in the Lordes name I de∣sire you geue thankes to God for me. And when it maye please God to mooue you write to me, thogh it be but two wordes, and counsaile me how to study the worde of lyfe, the ministerie whereof, I desire if it bee the Lordes plea∣sure to professe, and that I may doe it both in liuyng and learnyng, pray for me. Herus meus omnibus rebus suis me abdicauit & quae prius concesserat, iam soluere renuit, & mihi prorsus factus & inimicus. I know not when I shal see you in body, therefore let me heare from you. I write not this that you should thinke me in aegestate aut angustijs esse. No father, the Lord geueth me omnia affatim and will doe. I trust I shall shortly here haue a fellowship, I am so pro∣mised, and therefore I haue taken the degree of maister of Arte, which els I could not haue attained. If I get a fel∣lowship, I shall not need de crastino sollicitum esse, as here after I shal more write to you by Gods grace. I pray you write againe, and often yray for me. In hast as appeareth, the 22. of October. Ne sciat mater mea quod herus meus adeo duriter mecum egit, &c.

Miserrimus peccator. Iohn Bradford.
