ought euery good & perfect frend one for
another. But bicause I know yt it is not
nedefull to comfort them which are of
them selues by wisdome comforted, I
will not enlarge any further, but onely
desyre you to haue pacience in such mis∣fortune,
as requireth your singular pru∣dence:
wherunto I commit you &c.
