Wherefore, considering that your due; and full reward is laid up until an other day, in an other place, by an other man, of all fullness, and ability, Christ Jesus, the high steward, and pay-master of all, I am to request your worship till that time come, which I trust shall not be long, too accept my good hart, which in all honest possible duty is and shall be yours bounden too command. ⟨image 3⟩A small regard for such a desert, I confess, yet as kind and dutiful a mite as the greatest valour of a farther sum. And sith that the most precious jewel in this world which Man can show or give too Man is unfeigned Love, then truly the Love that creepeth when it can not go is aswell too be accounted of, and esteemed as Love, nay perhaps the rather, then when it carieth a higher look, and a loftier countenance. For, to say the truth Benefits which are liberal for the gift, and grateful for the repay, are in that respect said too be great or little, as the affection of the hart is great or little.

And sith that the most precious iewell in this world whiche Man can shew or geue too Man is vnfayned Loue, then truly the Loue that creepeth when it can not goe is aswell too be accounted of, and esteemed as Loue, nay perhaps the rather, then when it caryeth a higher looke, and a loftyer countenaunce. For, to say the truth Benefites whiche are liberall for the gift, and gratefull for the repay, are in that respect sayd too be great or litle, as the affection of the hart is great or litle.
