Now dear brothers, I beseech you by the great mercies of God, that ye will by no means suffer the smell, odour & savour of these herbs to fall out of your breasts, but that you alway bear this your Nosegay ⟨image 101⟩about with you, & smell on it at all times without ceasing. For these are those flowers, which shall preserve you from all pestiferous and contagious airs, from all perils and dangers, from all mischances and evil fortunes. They also shall inspire and breath into you such comfortable odours & sweet savours, that ye shall by no means be so infected, that ye may either offend your selves, God, the king, or your Neighbour, but what so ever ye work, shall be acceptable both to God and man. What will ye have more? Thus much have I done now for you neighbours, and am ready at all times to do, what soever lieth in my power, when occasion shall be given, desiring you favourably to accept this my good will toward you, as of one, which wisheth no less well to you than to him self, tendereth your health no less ⟨image 101⟩than his own, seeketh your true knowledge in Christ Jesus even as his own, to conclude, which is ready at all times both to give him self and all that he hath, so that ye may be in the most glorious bowels of our Saviour Christ, and therein continue until the day o• his triumphant appearing. Which thing (most dear brothers) that it may come to pass, I will not cease neither night nor day to pour out my prayers to our LORD god, that he may be present alway with you by the assistance of the holy Ghost in all your godly enterprises, which thing also I most heartily desire you, that ye will likewise do for me.
