(Worthy Sir)
IF there be no greater Cor'sive unto the mind of one, then that which forceth us (despight of our selves) to seek to those whom we have before (and
that without just cause) notoriously offended, then certainly am I the most wretched creature living: for (as now) there is no means left for me to escape from ruine, but onely by thy help (sweet friend) alone, who hast more reason to wish my overthrow, then my good fortune or health any way at all, in that thou hast found such extream and barbarous discourtefie in me. Nevertheless, if thygenerous and gentle mind, cannot feel this injury (done unto thee by a silly Maid) then I beseech thee, think no more upon my offence; but burying it deep, under thy feet, do that for my sake, which the bearer hereof shall make thee privy to: and then shalt thou quickly perceive, what great satisfaction I will make thee, for my fault committed; granting unto thee that which thou shalt most desire. Give credit unto this Messenger; assuring thy self that I am
Thine most obliged M. L.
