Epist. 41.

Most honoured Sir

I receiued one from you without date of time or place. But to giue it satisfaction my residence is at the Hague. My business at the present Geometry whereof I intend to set forth some few resolutions to whet the printers appetites a. to my Divinity, which as yet will not goe downe with them. I pray God I find meanes to continue vntill I can perfect it. I write with these a letter to Mr. Du Bose to gett some monyes b. to hold out these hard dayes, for my Inke freezeth in my pen. I perceiue well I grow old, yet must I loose time euen against my will wanting mony, & being put to shift to get some. I haue a project to get monys from Mr. du Bose, but it wil be Easter first, and I doubt whither I can expect soe long, or no. As for your opinion of the Blessed Sacrament, if it please God to make vs meete, we shall discourse to the purpose, then I shall vnderstand your grounds: & if I can get my Divinity to the presse, peradventu••e you will see my intention the better therein. I am wondrous glad of your good health of body, & minde, though Dr. H••lden bee not soe credulous of this last, c. I meane of the strength you promise your self, & wishing you all happiness I rest this 21. of ••ec.

Your most affectionate & humble seruant Tho. White.

On the back: from Mr. White 21. Dec. 1649.

Notes

• a.

  This had a quite c••ntrary effect, for the demonstrated faults of his Geometry proued evi∣dently his Divinity was stuft with like or worse errours, seing he aduises his Reader by that writing to Iudge of this.
• b.

  One point of most of his Letters, is this, want of mony.
• c.

  It seemes Dr. Holden did not spare Sir K. & indeed whom did he spare?
