¶A little short letter of William Hunter sent out of prison to his mother a little before hys martir∣dome, to be referred and placed in his story, pag. 1538.

MOst reuerent & louing mother, after my most humble wyfe I haue me harty commēded vnto you▪ desiring you to pray vnto God most hartely for me,* 1.1 that I may haue his blessing and yours, the which I esteeme more worth vnto me, thē any world∣ly treasure. In this present letter you shall vnderstand the cause of my writing vnto you at this tyme, that I am in good health and prosperitie, as euer I was in this present life. Wherefore I render thankes vnto almightye God for it, who alone is moste woorthye of all prayse, trusting in God you bee in health also. Furthermore I certifie you wherefore my father contínueth here, to the intent to heare some godly and ioyfull tidynges, both for soule and body, whiche I trust it shalbe to your singu∣lar comfort and consolation, and to the great reioysing of all o∣ther of my frendes. Therefore I desire you, gentle mother to ad∣monish my brother vnto a godly life, with dilligent attendance and to pray for me, considering his bound duety, that God may by your faythfull prayer, ayd and strengthen me in this my pro∣sperous iourney and course, whiche I run trusting to obtayne a crowne of euerlasting life, whiche doth euer endure.

No more vnto you at this time, but God preserue you vnto euerlasting life. So be it.
